A heavy weapons battroid used during the unification war. In modern times it has been superseded by the Chimentero.
The Zwar was originally created during the Unification War. Aegis commanders needed a heavy support mecha for immediate use. Two separate research projects, one for a heavy battroid and the other for an artillery arachnoid, were merged in the hope that there would be enough good parts between them to construct a single effective mecha. The Zwar was the result.
From the beginning pilots hated its appearance. The engineers decided to install only one arm to cut down on materials. Mechanics also hated this design; the plasma weapons are integrated with the engine, leaving little room for modification. Unfortunately for them, at the time of its introduction the Zwar was the only destroyer available to Aegis commanders.
The power and high rate of fire of the quad cannon did make up for a few of the Zwar's shortcomings. A number of aces even took it as their mecha of choice. Soon, though, the Chimentero was introduced and the Zwar was relegated to a rear line unit.
