Phantom
Phantom is the nineteenth episode from the anime series Zoids: Guardian Force based on TOMY's Zoids model franchise.
Phantom's customised Gunsniper, which enables him to fire accurately while at sea.
Overview
The episode once again involves a conspiracy to assassinate Emperor Rudolph. Although the operation's leaders are apprehended and the plot foiled, the assassin decides to act anyway, and promises to kill Rudolph at the upcoming Grand Pre event.
Moonbay enters this event, with Irvine and Dr. D acting as her support crew. It turns out she used to race four years ago, and has only just returned to racing. She ranks first, although a mysterious rookie, "Masquerade", a masked racer, tails her on her laps. Even with Fiona and Zeke as his bodyguards, and with over three hundred men protecting Rudolph, Van is concerned and decides to keep on the lookout. Phantom takes to the seas, using a customised Gun Sniper and a stealthed boat, and starts taking practice shots at a floating target. Rudolph is resolute in his determination to attend the race, and Van and Thomas continue to survey the area, trying to find the vantage point that the Phantom will try to snipe from.
The next day, the race begins, and Moonbay almost stalls off the blocks, even though she's using an engine "liberated" from the military by Dr. D. The masked Masquerade, right behind Moonbay, is also held back by this. Moonbay recovers as Van and Thomas continue their search. The Phantom sits and waits for Rudolph to stand in the right spot, as his line of sight is very, very narrow. After a tipoff from a fisherman who saw the Phantom turn on his stealth, Van and Thomas use heat sensors to find the boat and shoot at, but it self-destructs and the Phantom escapes underwater.
Van notices him walking in a crew-worker's clothes, and moves to intercept him. Meanwhile, Moonbay moves to first, with "Masquerade" right behind. Masquerade tries to overtake Moonbay, who catches her Sinker on the net and is left in a neck-in-neck race. Moonbay's engine gives out and Masquerade wins the race. Just then, the Phantom sets off some bombs in the Gustav hanger, luring out Rosso and Viola, who he distracts with a smoke bomb. However, as he takes the shot at Rudolf, his bullet travels straight though him- it was a hologram all along, Rudolph was actually the masked racer, and Van arrests him.
Meanwhile, Dr. D frames Irvine and Moonbay for stealing the engine he "borrowed", and gets them arrested.
