It’s almost funny, really. Well, at least Giggles here seems to think so, but he’s always smiling. It’s not just toughness that gets the Gojulas Giga through the day, though. It has all the legendary performance of a standard Gojulas, being extremely agile and flexible despite its large size. It can move with its head down (“Pursuit Mode”) and fight with its head up (“Battle Mode”), but it’s very maneuverable in both. When in pursuit mode, the Gojulas Giga has a pretty little booster to aid in reaching melee range. It can only be fired two seconds each round and the Giga CANNOT turn at all while it is on. The tail provides the Gojulas Giga with excellent balance, and acts as a counterweight during Pursuit Mode. Furthermore, the Gojulas Giga is easily the strongest Zoid X around. The only thing that’s ever beaten it in an wresting match is the Mad Thunder.

Lastly, the lower jaw construction of the Gojulas Giga is curved such that it seems to be perpetually smiling. This has earned this Zoid X the affectionate nickname of Giggles, because it smiles all the more while mauling its enemies. Some would say that the Gojulas Giga has a temper problem, but who believe that when it’s always so happy?

Weapons:

Twin Republican Super Cannons:
Set onto the back in a swivel so that it can operate in both stances, the Twin Republican Super Cannons set at the pinnacle of this zoid's gunfire. This gun fires 360mm HEAZ rounds with a blast radius of 20 meters. Though potentially dodgeable, when these hit the target, the target feels it. A single shell can CSF most smaller Zoids. Each barrel requires 6 seconds to reload, keeping the firing rate to 1 shot a round. Zoids like the Dark Horn or Iron Kong will be stripped almost immediately of armor when hit with one of these things.

Twin AZ 50mm Machine Guns
Set onto the tongue, these dastardly little guns fire out 12 rounds a second each. They can only fire when the mouth is open thanks to a failsafe mechanism. These guns can aim only where the head is pointed and are fairly useful in range, though accuracy is, as always, a problem with automatic weaponry. A fairly straightforward weapon, these are potent and almost custom made for stripping armor.

Hyper Laser Tail Blades:
The Gojulas Giga’s chargeable tail-mounted Laser Blades are the finest Zi has to offer, easily slicing and dicing opponents. When charged, they’re much more effective and powerful than a Blade Liger’s swords. ((They can even cut through the armor of a Death Saurer, to some extent.)) Also, since both blades are almost 8 meters long and mounted to the hyper-flexible Gojulas Giga’s tail, they’re really quite effective weapons. Some good advice to the Giga’s enemies would just be to stay away from the tail.

Giga Crusher Fangs and Claws:
Of course, staying away from the tail probably leads to moving towards the front, which really isn’t much better. The Gojulas Giga is among the strongest Zoids around, and is fully capable of of tearing lesser Zoids to shreds in a frontal melee encounter. Its teeth and mouth are razor-sharp, and are capable of biting and grinding even the toughest Zoids to shreds. They’re called “Giga Crusher” for a reason. The Gojulas Giga can lift up to two hundred tons, and any zoid heavier and still within reason can probably at least expect its balance top be upset.

Special Abilities:

Variable Stance:
The Gojulas Giga can assume one of two stances, “Pursuit Mode” for running and chasing opponents, and “Battle Mode” for fighting, grappling, and using Rain of Stars. The Gojulas can change between them in under a second, even while moving.

Pursuit Mode:
To enter Pursuit Mode, the Gojulas Giga simply inclines its head downwards and raises its tail, improving the aerodynamics of the Zoid and actually increasing its speed drastically. In this mode, the Gojulas Giga can move at 180 kph, much faster than any object of this size has any right to move without boosters. The arms are tucked in to help with the streamlining, so grappling and such can be fairly hard. Likewise, the tailblade is on the raised tail and also difficult to use. The mouth is in a good position to gobble up anything it encounters, though.

Battle Mode:
In Battle Mode, the Gojulas Giga simply raises its head and lowers its tail. This frees up the arms and tailblade for use. Also, the Rain of Stars can be used, as can the footlocks.

Rain of Stars:
The Gojulas Giga has a rather large and prominent network of spines on its back, which might cause some people to ask: “why?” The answer is simple: they’re weapons. And not melee weapons, either. When the Gojulas Giga is in Battle Mode, it can lower its footlocks and accumulate charge for around 2 seconds (it need not stop moving its upper body to accumulate charge). When the Giga is finished, 32 bolts of energy are released from its spinal network. They initially fly up, but then rain back down, making it look vaguely like the sky is falling. It’s a beautiful spectacle, and those who have survived it describe as a “Rain of Stars”. The 32 bolts saturate the 250 meter area surrounding the Giga, which will probably create a small trench. The only safe place to hide is in the 20 meter radius surrounding the ZX itself, and you might not want to be there for other reasons. Anyway, the damage is severe, and anything caught within the radius is damaged roughly as though it was hit by a 600mm Beam Cannon. The damage is severe, but for many, is still survivable. The Gojulas Giga is limited to one use of this tactic per battle by energy consumption failsafes. Also, sanctioned Zoid Battling rules forbid the Gojulas Giga from using this attack during the first round.

Hyper Boosters:
Set onto the lower back of the Gojulas Giga is a large booster which, when in Pursuit Mode, allows it to move at up to 300 kph for a time not exceeding 2 seconds. This can only happen once a round, however it is a key tool for catching up to fleeing prey. For the Gojulas Giga, this allows a better utilization of the melee capabilities it has.

Shield Resonance Disruptor:
Built internally into Giggles is a device that when activated works similar to the Antennae on the Death Cat. It triggers a field for 250 meters all around that negates all shield energy. For this matter, it renders the Hyper Blade Attack as well as all forms of E-shields useless. It is no coincidence this works in the same range as the Rain of Stars. This was done purposefully so that the rain of stars could not be opted out of. If you're in range while this is activated, you are going to get wet, if you'll pardon the pun.
