What It Is
Known in Japanese as the Zero-G Compact Launcher, this Synchrom System launcher shipped with every Shogun Steel starter, beginning with Samurai Ifrit. Bulkier and more detailed than the earlier Light Launcher, it adds a built-in tool feature, but its actual performance matches a basic Light Launcher 2 despite a weaker gear ratio than its alternative, the ZeroG Light Launcher.
- Japanese name translates to 'Zero-G Compact Launcher'
- Alternative product is the ZeroG Light Launcher, which has a 1.1x superior gear ratio and launches more easily in ZeroG stadiums
- Bulkier and more detailed than the original Light Launcher, with an added tool-like feature on its side
- Despite the bulk, performance matches a basic Light Launcher 2, sharing the same gear ratio
- Hasbro released its version Fall 2013 with the Samurai Cyclone Battle Set
