Zentraedi Tactical Battlepod - pages 1-36 and 1-37

Zentraedi Tactical Battlepod

The basic combat unit of the Zentraedi. A versatile unit capable of modifications and accessorial supplementations. The Standard Battle Pod can seat either one or two Zentraedi Warriors. It fires conventional projectiles (bullets) as well as particle beams and lasers. Height is approximately 40 feet.


"The Standard Battle Pod can seat either one or two Zentraedi Warriors."

Bearing in mind the height of a Zentraedi Warrior given on page 1-20 (approx. 60 feet) and the height of a Battlepod given on this page (40 feet), this statement comes off as exceptionally ridiculous, unfeasible, and physically impossible. Of course, as explained earlier, the height of your standard Zentraedi soldier given on page 1-20 is way off, but still, you absolutely cannot fit more than one full-sized Zentraedi in the cockpit of a Battlepod. It just doesn't work. Take a look for yourself:

Cramped confines, no?

See? It's cramped enough as is. However, a Battlepod modified for Micronized Zentraedi (as seen in episode 20, "Paradise Lost") can comfortably seat three human-sized crewmen.
