The Saberlion is a type of Zoid, a race of mechanical lifeforms from the fictional Zoids universe.
Overview
The Saberlion is a lightweight Lion-type Zoid used by the Helic Republic.
Designed for urban warfare and guerrilla operations, the Saberlion is designed to hit and run rather than stand and fight. While lightly armoured, the Zoid is also very fast and agile, and a potent close-combat unit. Its blades, fangs, and claws are designed to vibrate at high speeds, improving their cutting power.
To aid it in its intended roles, the Saberlion is equipped with an array of assorted sensors that better enable it to locate its opponents in crowded combat environments (such as cities). The Zoid does have one weakness, however, in that it completely lacks ranged weapons. While not a problem in its normal environments, it can be a severe drawback if the Zoid is caught in the open.
Battle Story appearances
In early ZAC 2102, the Neo-Zenebas Empire invaded the Helic Republic, reaching its capital. During the fighting, President Louise Camford attempted to escape in a special Saberlion piloted by Tommy Paris. While the Saberlion, Tommy, and messages/plans for the Republic Army made it through (despite attacks from Gun Tigers and a Liger Zero X), Camford was lost during the battle. She was declared missing in action soon afterwards. Camford's son, Colonel Rob Herman, was forced to take control of the collapsing Republic.
Media appearances
Zoids Saga
The Saberlion appears in Zoids Legacy, and is the first Zoid made available to the player character.
