- Introduction

Spino Liger was mentioned in Smack Zoids! B-Part, in the February issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine, 2002. Not much was known about this Zoid at the time, and it was theorized to be the Blade Liger MK-II "Type B," as this version sat between the Blade Liger MK-II and the Buster Liger; the same as the Spino Liger. The Zoid was revealed for the first time in Figure King Issue 299, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Zoids Franchise, where it was seen to be an early concept of the Liger Zero Schneider.

- Concepts

- History

The Spino Liger's concept was conceived at the same time as the development of the Ultimate Liger. It was an improved version of the Blade Liger, with stronger equipment focused on charging finishing moves. Unfortunately the added weight of its design was thought to make it relatively easy for the Zoid to overheat, due to the core trying to consume the excess energy. This was attributed to the Shield Liger base, which was a fairly large, bulky Zoid in its own right, and didn't have a core powerful enough to support the additional weight.

With the overheating issue, the Spino Liger remained conceptual. Its development data was used in the schematic for the Buster Liger, and its design concept later inherited by the Liger Zero Schneider. So while the Zoid never made it to the battlefield, it played an important role in the advancement of the Liger series.
