The ZM-S09GE Tomliat Recon Type was a variation of the Zanscare Empire’s standard ZM-S09G Tomliat. The Recon Type featured various types of radar as well as standard and night vision cameras. Compared to the standard type, its wings were enlarged and the suit used stealth verniers. The Recon Types operated in groups of three to four units and conducted recon mainly in helicopter mode. Because they operated only at night, the suits were painted black and used by the Black Widow team, named as such after the spider.
