I'm wondering how much these upgrades would cost and what they will boast the Zoid up too.
Helcat (Originally a D-Rank)
I'm just upgrading him with the Radar distrupter that Lightning Saix has. The only stealth weakness for Helcat was that Shadow Fox could see it on its radar, but it couldn't see Lightning Saix on its rader because of its distrupter.
Guntiger (Originally a D-Rank)
I'm just upgrading him with an Energy Shield.
Guysak (Originally a F-Rank)
I'm upgrading him with two energy shields.
Zabat (Originally a F-Rank)
I'm upgrading him with an Energy Shield and an Optic Camouflage.

The Helcat, with optic camoflage and radar disruptor, but no other modifications, will be a C rank since it's still pretty weak.
The Guntiger, with an Energy Shield, is a standard upgrade. That just makes it C rank.
The Guysack will have two standard upgrades, so that would make it C rank too.
The Zabat with both shield and Camoflage is pretty powerful, so it'll be C rank if you can only use one or the other, and B rank if you can use both at the same time (or within seconds of each other)

What do you mean by one or the other? That I could only use one upgrade, or one upgrade at a time? What I pictured it as that you can't use them both at the same time because that would overwork Zabat's generator and you had to use them one at a time. Also, for the time thing I was thinking about a minute to be able to switch from using Camouflage to E-Shield.
Also, you never gave me how much they would cost in putting in these upgrades.

Way more than a minute. Both at the same time means he can go from using the camoflage in one post, then use the shield in the next. There has to be at least a post gap between each use for it to be considered separate. Plus, mounting both would make it heavier.
It only costs money if you're having someone else make the sprite. If you are doing it yourself, you're just starting out with the zoid custom. It won't cost you extra money, unless you're buying it in addition to your personal zoid. It costs what rank it is.

Alright, a post gap between using both of them it is then, and I know that mounting them both will reduce its speed. I was thinking that it would drop from 3.7 mach too 3.4 mach.
I've already bought the base units of these zoids, and in my earlier question you said that it costs money to upgrade them, but it doesn't cost as much as the difference between the ranks. Ex: D rank is 100 points, and C rank is 200 points. The difference between those ranks is 100 points but you said it would probably cost less.

Oh, you're talking about two different things.
To upgrade your personal zoid, it's free.
To upgrade a zoid you have bought, as an extra, it will cost less to bump it up a rank. For example, C to B will cost you 150. You have to RP it out though, otherwise everyone will just buy cheaper zoids and upgrade.

Alright, so you have to RP the upgrading. Thanks for the aswer Dog, and I was just talking about the Ziods I buy. I knew that upgrading my personal Zoid was free.

Okay, I was confused about this as well, so I'll post up now. I was mixing posts and points.
C costs 200 points.
D costs 100 points.
F costs 50 points.
From now on, I'm going to make people take full charge of difference to upgrade their zoids. But I promised you a discount, so I'll have to live up to that.
D to C is 75 points.
F to D is 25 points.
So you have 2 F-D conversions and 4 D-C conversions. That totals 350.

Thank you Dog. Also, will it be ok that I keep the post I just posted but do not get the upgrades until I pay it off since there was confusion about the upgrades and all. I put at the bottom of my post in bold letters not to charge until I get the money, and I put "That the upgrades to Guysak, Zabat, Gun Tiger, and Atak Cat not available yet" bolded in my team thread.

That's quite alright. After all, this is partially my fault for misunderstanding you  |

I've got a Zoid upgrading related question of my own, My Evoflyer is currently at C rank, if I wanted to add a tail assault rifle(from Uenlagia), and either a pair of handguns(also from uenlagia) or Electro Mag guns(from Shellcarn I think) what level would Evoflyer then be at?

If it's just adding those weapons, and no additional equipment/stat boosts, that would make it B rank.
