Variations

Gorem Flight Type

Featured in *Shogaku Sannensei* (September 1988 issue) and *Zoids Battle Story 4*. Equipped with a backpack with four rockets, allowing high-altitude descent .

This designation comes from the *Shogaku Sannensei* publication .

In-story, it appeared in a ZAC 2048 (September) operation known as the “Professor Chester Kidnapping Mission.” Just before an air raid by Death Bird, Gorem abducted Professor Chester, using the air strike as cover to escape. After descending from a transport craft, it raided the Republic research facility, defeating Megatopros. However, the facility was only a decoy to conceal the real development site, and the mission failed. Gorem’s engine was destroyed by a beam, and shortly after, it was bombed together with the research facility by allied forces .
