Zardoz's weapons loadout is as follows:

Right arm: "Redspot" Enhanced Aiming Sensor (top), "Deadeye" Long Range Sniper Laser (center), "Falldown" Heavy Stun Blaster Pod (bottom)

Left arm: "Mighty Mite" Narrow Beam Lasers (top/bottom), "Buttkicker" Close Quarters Heavy Laser (center)

Backpack: Combo fusion reactor/rebreather/grape soda dispenser w/mounted over-the-shoulder "K.Y.A.G. (Kiss Your A$$ Goodbye)" Heavy Blaster Cannons

Skiff weapons & equipment:

Dual fixed position "Flashfire" Medium Blaster Cannons w/Flash Suppressors (bow mounted) Dual swiveling "Hullcracker" Plasma Torpedo Launchers (either side of control yoke)

Dual fixed position "Surprise!" Mini-Blaster Cannons w/Flash Supressors (mounted front of yoke) 2 "Sneaky Pete" Stealth-Mini Space Torpedoes (mounted underneath)


I wanted to make Zardoz as campy as possible, and started with the name (borrowed from a Sean Connery late 60s sci-fi flick that was...well, just plain weird.) Add in horrid Dreadnok-type colors (ie., purple and kiwi) and I was on my way; loading him down with weaponry came next. I spent several weeks on him, discarded several torso choices before finally cracking open a T'Jbang, removing the AA parts, and sealing it back together; worked out great, and I'd probably do it again in the future, it proved that easy. I drilled a hole in the back for the backpack as well, since this torso didn't have them.

The Space Skiff is essentially a repaint of the SpyTroops Depth Charge sled with some added weapons mounted on; I replaced the propellers with cut-off pieces of nylon spacer and painted them a light "ion" blue, and even added some glow-in-the-dark solution (didn't work very well but it was a cool concept.)
