Targets Godzilla, Destoroyah

The CLT-95 (95式冷凍レーザータンク,   Kyūgo-shiki Reitō Rēzā Tanku, lit. "Type 95 Cryolaser Tank") is a specialized version of the Maser Cannon that appears in the 1995 Godzilla film Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. They are towed by six-wheel tractors labeled on their exteriors as DAG-MB96.

Name

The CLT-95's Japanese name, 95式冷凍レーザータンク,   (Kyūgo-shiki Reitō Rēzā Tanku), literally translates to "Type 95 Refrigeration Laser Tank." However, given the letters "CLT" in its model number, the intended translation was likely Type 95 Cryolaser Tank. The video game Godzilla Defense Force nevertheless uses the "Refrigeration" translation. The tractors which tow the CLTs, meanwhile, are designated DAG-MB96 (name in Japanese unknown); the DAG portion is a recurring abbreviation in the Heisei series which stands for "Defend Against Godzilla", while MB is shared with the MBT-MB92 and likely stands for "Maser Beam."

History

Heisei era

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

A new version of the Maser Cannons which had so aided the JSDF during the 1990s, the CLT-95 was armed with new Ultra-Low Temperature Laser cannons, or Cryolasers, and deployed once it became apparent that Godzilla was slowly turning into an unstable nuclear force. Several were rolled out alongside a fleet of AH-64 Apaches and Type 90 Tanks to deal with the army of Juvenile Destoroyahs. At first, they made light work against the horde of Precambrian creatures, but were soon outmatched when they combined into the stronger Aggregate Form.

Later, in the final moments of Godzilla's battle in Tokyo against Destoroyah's Perfect Form, the CLT-95s were deployed in a pincer movement alongside detachments of modified MBT-MB92s and MBAW-93s, as well as the Super X3, which provided close-air support. Taking up positions on the battlefield, the ground units took aim at Destoroyah - who was attempting to escape, having realised it was impossible to defeat Godzilla - and began a relentless barrage against him. This, combined with the Super X3's own freezer weapons, quickly caused Destoroyah's wings to become shredded, then frozen over. Destoroyah plunged towards the superheated ground and exploded into a fine white mist. Together, Godzilla and the freezer units had put an end to Destoroyah's reign of terror, once and for all.

However, the crisis wasn't over, and Godzilla's meltdown had now reached a critical stage. The freezer units and the Super X3 then turned their weapons on Godzilla. While the effort was successful in preventing Godzilla's melting body from breaching the Earth's crust, the meltdown was unstoppable, and his flesh melted off his skeleton, showering radiation over the city. Just as it seemed that Tokyo had been rendered permanently uninhabitable, the radiation rapidly decreased back to normal background levels. In his final moments, Godzilla had given his radiation to his son, reviving him as the new King of the Monsters.

Capabilities

Cryolaser

The CLT-95 is armed with an Ultra-Low Temperature Laser (超低温レーザー,   Chōteion Rēzā) cannon, also called a Cryolaser (冷凍レーザー,   Reitō Rēzā) or Cryomaser (冷凍メーサー,   Reitō Mēsā).

Missiles

The CLT-95 is also armed with two eight-cell rocket launchers loaded with freezer missiles and cadmium missiles, for a total of 16 missiles.

Speed

The CLT-95 has a maximum tow speed of 55 kilometers per hour (~34 miles per hour).[1]

Trivia

  • A CLT-95 prop appears at the beginning of the first episode of The Gransazers as one of the weapons used by an ancient, advanced human society to defend itself against Wouf Manafe.
  • One piece of concept art for the MBAW-93, which debuted in Godzilla vs. Mothra, featured four panels near the cannon tip.[2] This would ultimately be used for the CLT-95's design instead.
  • The MBAW-93 and CLT-95's optional missile pods are mounted in a vertical position, while the MBT-MB92's are mounted in a horizontal position.
