Ultimate Charizard

Zoids - ED, or Egineered Destruction is going to be a crossover from Zoids and an old RPG of my own. This is not the Same Zoids your used to. They have been created purely military style with no Zoidian legends, no Ultimate X's and NO ORGANOIDS!. However you can use the Existing Zoids as coincedentally they are the types that the Military have developed. One or two Original designs may be allowed but you need to have them ok'd by me. And if everyone tries to sign up with something original ill ban them all.
Plot
----
In the future the human race will attain a level of advancement far beyond that of today. After massive leaps in the technological and scientific fields man became a species devoted to surpassing themselves. With this desire inevitably came wars. Nations battled over the best technologies, each developing new and better weapons. The technological nations made more powerful and destructive weapons while the scientific nations began researching genetics and mutations.
Inevitably this all came to a head. The Great War broke out in 3045. By 3050 the human race was in tatters. The better the prize the more extreme the force used to attain them. Ironically it was an old technology that finally sealed man’s fate. Two nations resorted to reviving nuclear technology. One used it for mutation, the other for good old fashioned explosives. When these two forces met it was catastrophic. Not so much from the fighting, but the aftermath.
When the smoke had cleared reports came in of cities being overrun, populations disappearing and huge organic structures popping up. Any attempt at approaching these structures was a sure fire way to lose a research team. As these occurrences spread, radiating out with ground zero of the Great War at its centre the world was faced with a new threat. As more and more cities were ‘blitzed’ as it had been labelled, the many nations decided that working together would be the only way to find out and solve what was going on.
Using the best soldiers and researchers they had they set out to stop this mysterious threat.
To cut a long story short, they failed.
In the year 3070, twenty years after the Great War. Humanity had become an endangered species. What was left now lived nomadic lives, moving from place to place in an effort to evade extinction. Some were slowly picked off or decimated by the mysterious foe, others were attacked by other humans who had resorted to piracy to survive. Those that were lucky, the people of the technologically advanced nations took refuge in armoured military bases. It was from these bases that man decided to fight back. It took time and men but eventually they discovered the identity of the enemy, a mutated race of creatures, powerful giants that seemed to have one goal, to eat. If it could be chewed and broken down then it was food. Plants, Rocks, Metal even humans were nothing but snacks. The organic structures that had dominated the skylines of the worlds cities were nests for these beasts, each resembling some sort of termite hill it matched the insect like appearance of the creatures, named as Terra's. They also operated as insects, following a single minded goal almost like machines. With armoured hides and incredible strength they seemed invincible.
Over time the humans had developed ways to defend themselves however these creatures also adapted. They seemed to grow larger and stronger, as if gaining power as humanity weakened. The most effective form of combat prooved to be Mobile Assault Platforms. An old weapon scrapped from the earlier wars they were Adaptable walking mechs equipped with Multiple weapons.
The models that were salvaged had flaws however. The heavily armoured ones were too slow and the faster ones didnt have the firepower needed. The original technology was over 200 years old however. There now existed the means to improve them, and as efforts were made the Zoids were born.
Massive Mobile Platforms with designs based on powerfull Animals long extinct, Capable of not only Fighting Terra's but in some cases hand to hand physical combat.
Though heavily outnumbered the Zoids were now Mankinds last chance.
Everything had been given to create them but at least without resources, and without ideas, at least Minkind had Hope.
Terra's
There are many species of Terra although only 6 have been identified. Although very different all Terra share some traits. They all seem to follow the commands of their nest, without question and with deadly efficiency. They all have the same weakspot however. The only true way to kill a Terra is to destroy its brain, this is usually very heavily protected with thick layers of armour. Destroying its body beyond its healing capabilities is also an option although much less efficient. All Terra can spray a white/grey foam that quickly hardns into a brown fossilized Resin. Any human caught with this spray becomes cocooned and beyond help. Theyre fate is in the belly of the next Terra that gets hungry.
Stumpy - Squat, four legged Terra, about the size of a Command Wolf resembles a cross between a boar and a beetle. Tough armour but can be cracked with heavy fire. One of the quicker species of Terra. Its main weapons are its blade like mandibles.
Worm - Long snake like Terra that can burrow quickly underground. Its entire body is covered in a rock like armour with a blade like tail edge. It has razor sharp mandibles for slicing up prey. The most heavily armed Terra. Think along the Lines of Onix with more viscious blades etc
Brute - This is a large Terra, can smash through lightly armoured walls with its sheer physical strength. It can also burrow amazingly fast for something its size. About as tall as an Iron Kong but has the Bulky, muscular beetle like Body behind it.
Buzzer - A flying Terra, uses blade like mandibles and forelegs. Resembles a cross between a dragonfly and a Mosquito. Comparitively small, only about the size of a large Bear. Something like the standard Grunt bugs in Starship Troopers.
Twinhorn - A slug like Terra, the lightest armoured it can be penetrated by the weakest of weapons however only a shot to its weak spot can stop it. It grasps at prey with long jelly like tendrils and absorb it into its skin. Seems to have a head at each end so finding the true soft spot is difficult. Just a little shorter than a brute but slower with less mass behind it. Indeed its whole body is like a soft jelly mass.
Blader - A large Mantis like Terra, rarely ventures outside the nest it is a defence Terra. It will attack and dismember any intruder. One of the most lethal terra it is fast, strong, heavily armed and scarily efficient. This one is roughly the size of a GenoBreaker but much more fast and agile.

A couple of points first off. In this time population is key....The human race is endangerd and the military will not throw away extra men to save one. If a man loses the use of a leg in a fight and slows the group down, or perhaps become trapped in his zoid he is a danger to them all and he is left for dead. Sympathy doesnt carry well among the Marine commanders who see their soldiers as statistics and numbers however emotions still may sneak in with the ones doing the Dieing.
Name -

Sex -
Looks -
History -
Personality - Remember uve been raised by the military if your under 40 and wont remember the time before the terra.
Zoid - Pick from the what you know...try and stay Standard if u can.
Weapons - Standard if u want but u can add a couple of little surprises if u like
Other -
Some previously banned Zoids like Liger 0 and Geno Breaker will be allowed but take into account these Zoids are pure Military Machines not special Living mechanoids so they wont be overly powerfull. And also These Terra's are immensely powerfull. A dozen or so can overrun an Entire City so i dont wanna see anyone Cutting through anything other than a Stumpy with anything that even comes close to Easy.
