Anime[]
The Drei Panther appears in Zoids: Wild ZERO Episode 13.
The Drei Panther is piloted by Victor Spiegel, and is used to great effect. The Zoid is focused on stealth combat, and it makes nearly no sound when moving or attacking. The dark colour scheme makes it hard to spot and it also is invisible to most sensor suites.
Initially used by the Empire, Spiegel eventually defects to the True Empire when it's formed. He is often sent solo deep into enemy territory to attack secret bases or valuable targets.
The Zoid is very effective, while it's defeated on occasion it manages to inflict considerable damage in almost every encounter.
The Zoid suffers a major defeat in episode 27, where it is sent solo to destroy the incapacitated Genospino. The Empire and Republic knew the Genospino would be targeted, so they set up a formidable defensive perimeter. None the less, Drei Panter gets past all of them.
It's only when Baan Blood confronts him using the Gatling Fox, does the Drei Panther lose in a lengthy engagement.
