			: It is uncertain which Beasts would come with these three, as the Pre-Toy Fair Catalog shows [[Skullgrotes]] riding the yellow "Savanna" in inset, but the blue [[Battle Buzzsaw]] in the group shot, so it's very possible stuff got mixed up. The group shot does show [[Slag King]] on the red Savanna, [[Green Rayfer]] on the yellow, and [[Salmomancer]] on the blue.

	Despite its small size, the '''Battle Savanna''' (バトルサバンナ ''Batoru Sabanna'') packs an incredible amount of power. Like the other [[Battlecruiser]]s, it is designed with multiple gravity and anti-gravity generators to give it incredible speed and maneuverability. Optimized for overland combat, its gravity condenser actually ''stores'' gravity and uses it to further boost its built-in weaponry. Its "G-Blower" diffuses the gravity of their target, and thus, ~~diffuse~~ the ''target'', while the "G-Bracer" crushes targets by doing the opposite.
