The Diloforce is a rather poorly known Zoid, and it stands in the shadows of many more famous Zoids like the Berserk Fuehrer. Don't be fooled by this Zoid's small size, though. In its mouth is a smaller version of the famed Charged Particle Gun, which, along with its frill-like Energy Shield Generators, makes it spookily similar to a creature from a famous movie. Despite this, the Micro-Particle Cannon is the Diloforce's only ranged weapon.

When it comes to melee combat, the Diloforce shows its true colors. It has an energy blade mounted on each hip, and one rather large Energy Sword stowed inside the Zoid's tail, much like that of the Redler. The Diloforce was designed to supplement the Berserk Fuehrer, and was part of the same Guylos project. However, when the Fuehrer was decommissioned by the Empire, the Diloforce was decommissioned along with it, and was eventually lost to the sands of time, until it was rediscovered.

When the Backdraft Group unearthed the Berserk Fuehrer they also found the plans for this Zoid, and began to produce a few of them to fight alongside Vega's Fuehrer. Only a few units were produced before the Backdraft's defeat at the hands of the Blitz Team, and the ZBC seized the designs and all existing Diloforce units from the Backdraft. The ZBC then began to mass-produce the Zoid. The ZBC initially used them as law enforcement Zoids to support the usual Gojulas MK-IIs, but as time went on, Zoids better fit for the job emerged, and Diloforce units trickled out into the public domain. The popularity of the Zoid surprised the Commission, and they began to produce more so they could be readily available to any new pilots who wanted the Zoid.

The Diloforce is a lightly armored Zoid, with armor as strong as that Zeek Dober, and thus, needs to rely on its agility and speed to avoid taking critical damage. Speaking of agility, the Diloforce is about as agile as the Rev Raptor. It is somewhat complex to use, however, the Zoid is a very capable machine when properly used, and is available if you're up for the challenge of wielding its destructive power.

Weapons:

Micro-Particle Cannon:
The Diloforce's only ranged armament, mounted in its mouth and able to face wherever the Zoid's head can turn, is the Micro-Particle Cannon. This weapon tries to inelegantly brute force the effect that the Charged Particle Gun creates (total destruction of everything in its by path) by just shooting a compressed beam of charged particles. While the underlying principle is the same, the nuances (and mechanics of firing) are very different.

Firstly, the Micro-Particle Cannon doesn't require any charge-up time at all. The Diloforce can just snap off a shot at any time (and maintain the beam continuously, if it desires). Secondly, its power is greatly reduced -- comparable in strength, in fact, to that of the Soul Tap modification. While the beam will not be carving Zoids apart instantly, it will quickly eat through even the toughest of armor in seconds if kept on the same point, making it particularly effective at, say, disabling joints (though removing limbs will take a lot more work).

Twin Laser Blades:
When it comes to melee, these are the best weapons in the Diloforce's arsenal. When stowed, he blades are folded up against the Zoid's hips and are swept backwards. The blades unfold in a style similar to that of the Blade Liger and Liger Zero Schneider. When charged, they have a cutting power a few notches below a Blade Liger's Laser Blades. When extended, these blades are 5m long.

Laser Sword:
Stowed in the Diloforce's tail is a rather large laser blade known as the Laser Sword. This blade acts exactly like the one mounted on the tail of a Redler and is very difficult to use, but is a powerful melee weapon when it is used correctly. The Laser Sword can swing up to 90 degrees up from its sheath in the Diloforce's tail. When charged, the Laser Sword has a cutting power a few notches below the Blade Liger's Laser Blades. The Laser Sword is 4m long.

Hardened Alloy Claws and Teeth:
If it comes down to it, the Diloforce can use the claws on its hands and its teeth for melee combat. The arms of the Diloforce are incredibly sturdy and strong, though, again, they're not as powerful as those of the Diloforce's larger brethren.

Special Abilities:

Frontal Energy Shield:
The frill on the Diloforce is not just for show; it is also an Energy Shield Generator. When activated, the frill will open up and the E-Shield will protect whole front of the Diloforce. The shield is as powerful as the one on the Shield Liger, and it suits this Zoid well. If downed, the E-Shield takes 18 seconds to recharge and be able to be used again. The shield generators make up the Diloforce's frill and are heavily armored. Destruction of the frill will cause the Shield to cease function. The Shield generators are more difficult to hit when they are folded up against the Zoid's neck, but since the cockpit is on the back of the Diloforce, shooting these generators is quite easy when compared to the close proximity of the Shield and Blade Liger's generators to their cockpits.
