ARTY - military slang for "artillery"
Battle Story:
The Neo-Zenebas Empire, led by Wolff Muroa, successfully conquered the whole continent after the deployment of the Seismosaurus Zoid. In ZAC 2106, the Republic was forced to retreat to the Eastern Continent.
Somehow, some Republic elite spies were able to infiltrate a Guylos base and obtain Zi-data of the Geno Saurer Zoid. There were greatly impressed on the design of this zoid, they believed being to recreate these for the Republic would be a great help in their war against the Neo-Zenebas Empire.
The Helic Republic have made 3 Zoids ready to join the war against the Neo-Zenebas, these were Liger Zero Phoenix, Jet Falcon and the Gairyuki. But somehow they wanted a Zoid to be able to serve as heavy artillery to make easier work on enemy structures as the 3 other Zoids would be battling against Imperial Zoids. So came the idea of the Geno Saurer handling heavy artillery weapons.
The designers of the artillery zoid decided that a few heavy cannons won't be a problem for mobility, since the Geno Saurer has boosters. Though the weapon weight would decrease maximum speed, it would be better sending a battery of zoids with better mobility and than Gojulases.
A smaller version of the Gojulas Cannon was fitted on the side of the artillery weapons pack. They also included AAA (Anti- Air Artillery) to use against flying fortresses such as Whale Kings, and mass air deployment of Zoids. The four-barreled Shock cannons were also placed on the legs to give firepower to much shorter ranges. And last but not least, the CPC was retained even though the newer Ray-Absorbing Particle Cannon was used in the Gairyuki. (See the similarities of the color scheme to the Gairyuki) This was done to lower cost of production of such heavily armed artillery Zoid. However, the Zoid cannot fire all weapons at the same time.
After the zoid was finished, it was known as the Geno Saurer ARTY, or the Geno Saurer Artillery Custom.
ZAC 2109, the Republic launched the main offensive on the main continent with the LZ Phoenix, Jet Falcon, and the Gairyuki. The Geno Saurer ARTY proved it's worth by pounding several city blocks and Zoid hangars and bases. The artillery cannons were able to deal serious damage from their firebase and units that close in were either destroyed by the Shock cannons, and for the cases of mass attack, the CPC proved just as essential in taking down huge groups of Zoids. Only a few of support Zoids were required, for detection, communications and light to medium defense purposes.

Some details I placed around:
Weapon features:
The smaller version of Gojulas Cannon, used to "bring smoke" to city blocks and military installations.
The Anti Aircraft Artillery can move alternately by pulling/pushing the small armature in between the guns.
The other gun positions.
More info:
This is my first attempt to:
-spray in more colors
-use more techniques in painting such as masking stuff before handpaint/spraying (see with the teeth and the panels)
-use putty (used a lot of the for the weapons pack and side 4-barrel guns)
-use panel lines
Oh yeah, it was quite nice having to make this one, this was a giant leap, since my last successful custom was a Leoblaze, and now this guy.
~THANKS FOR VIEWING~
edit: thanks a lot to Chainer for the advices! haha
