Tactical Battle Pod (Regult, standard)

The workhorse of Zentraedi mechanized infantry, Regult battlepod possesses an array of short-range weapons (2 particle beam cannons, 2 anti-personnel autocannons, 2 anti-aircraft lasers) and sacrifices armor for speed and maneuverability. The mecha is designed to fight both in space and on planet surface, but it can't survive rapid descents through atmosphere (contrary to tri-thrusters). Several vectorable reaction thrusters and small size allow a skillful pilot to stage ambushes and easily outfly a heavier armored opponent, although Earth's dense atmosphere severely hinders the Regult's aerial performance. Anyway, few Zentraedi survive long enough to gather the necessary experience due to the pod's weak armor; therefore, standart regults were used mainly as first-wave cannonfodder.

Khyron recognized the strengths and weaknessess of the battlepod; his regults are often seen ambushing the enemy, using stealth approach, and tearing up slow-moving destroids - even the most heavily armored mecha in RDF, the Monster.

Due to the lack of long-range weaponry and sensor equipment, standart Regults are used in combination with artillery and scout pods, forming self-sufficient ground/space mechanized infantry units.

Light Artillery Pod (Regult, light artillery) - standart Regult chassis with anti-aircraft lasers exchanged for a multi-launch medium-range rocket system. Available munitions include guided missiles and unguided area-effect rockets.

Being significantly slower than the battlepod, the artillery pod avoids dogfights and relies on massive long-range firepower. It is ideal against clustered and entrenched enemy units. If fitted with guided missiles, the artillery pod boasts almost as much anti-mecha firepower as a Queadlunn-Rau power armour, becoming a deadly foe for Veritech squandrons.

A squad of light artillery pods was assigned to each mechanized infantry company.

Heavy Artillery Pod (Regult, heavy artillery) - an upgunned version of the artillery pod; its launching tubes house four long-range missiles, available in area-effect and armor-piercing versions. The slowest of all Regults, this mecha packs a formidable punch; its Molokh missiles can tear a hole even in capital ship armor. However, the pod's sensor system is inadequate for long-range precision guidance; it must work in conjunction with a more powerful radar for maximum performance.

Mechanized infantry battalions were issued squads of heavy artillery pods.

Recon Scout Pod (Regult, tactical scout) - standart Regult chassis stripped of all weapons and stuffed with sensor equipment. Scouts are the eyes and ears of mechanized infantry; they locate the enemy, suppress hostile electronic activity, and help guide long-range ordnance.

A scout was usually assigned to every company.

Glaug's propulsion system is capable of delivering speed and maneuverability equal to those of the Regult battlepod, despite the officer pod's extra weight.

To allow transorbital maneuvers, such as rapid descent through dense atmosphere, the Glaug can be fitted with an armored booster, which is equipped with 144 dogfight missiles.

Glaugs were issued to officers ranking from battalion commander and higher, for command&control immediately on the battlefield. Khyron is often seen in his officer pod leading mecha assaults, although fleet commanders usually prefer to stay out of dogfights, like Breetai and Azonia. This is easily explained by a simple speculation - the older the more careful. As Zentraedi grow older and gain experience, their appreciation of the War Imperative changes - from a lust for melees to cold-hearted strategy. The value of one's own life also grows with time - Khyron wouldn't've been at the front lines if he was piloting a humble Regult. Robotech Masters understood this simple pattern, and provided the Glaug with much heavier armor than standart Regults'. We never see an officer pod being destroyed in the entire series, and Khyron's Glaug was severely damaged only once - under conditions including an overwhelming enemy, protoculture shortage, and being piloted by Azonia, who was probably much more used to the Queadlunn-Rau.
