We've officially begun work on Zoids Official Fan Book 3! With a tiny update to start with. Everything before the first chapter, which includes some rather cool images from the poster double-page spreads, the prologue, etc.

 

 As the Fan Books move forward, I'll be adding details from the earlier books to the index and info areas of the site! This time we've got the Brachios, Hel Digunner, Molga, Red Horn, and Redler. These profiles all include equipment information, battle story info, stats, etc.

 

 The Character Index is also finally getting some updates! Characte profiles have been added for Arthur Borgmann, Brick Spantz, L.G. Halford, Payle Geordot, Stefan Skorzeny, and Tommy Paris. Their profiles include battle story information up to Official Fan Book 2, the Zoids they've piloted, and images of the pilots where available. Not all of them actually got official artwork.

 

 Also getting some life is the Encyclopedia page. An article has been added for the 2nd Independent High-Speed Combat Battalion, Mount Olympus, and the Western Continent War (up to OFB1) to cover an overview of Fan Book events and details. In an effort to reduce the amount of inaccurate information floating around about certain topics, articles have also been added for the Leomasters, Organoid System, and Ultimate X. These articles include some details shared by Falcarius, but the rest is based off of our work on the Fan Books so far. So if you notice anything incorrect, please let us know!

 To clear up confusion about the Organoid System, this page only includes information based on the Official Fan Books. The anime version of the Organoid System is filed under the Ultimate X page, which discusses fan theories, details mentioned in the anime, and instances where the UX Zoids acted independently.

 

 A huge update has been rolled out for the NJR Model Kit section! All of the standard Zoids, 1 ~ 76 now contain their own pages, similar to our Zoids Wild and HMM sections. These pages included images (if available), stats, battle story, and fuselage explanations from the boxes. They use automatic translations, so may contain errors.

 

 Episodes 8 ~ 10 have been added to the Zoids Fuzors section. As usual, the pages include character and Zoid lists, a short summary, notable facts, and a video illustrating the difference between the English and Japanese versions of the show. Oh, and copious amount of screenshots, of course.

 

 With the episode update, the Fuzors section has also had a revamp to its Concept Art page, bringing it in line with our newer series pages. Characters, Zoids, Locations, and Assorted concepts all get their own pages, though we don't have any in the last 2 categories (yet). A good number of new concepts have been added, including earlier concepts of Amy (with a different design), Blade, color concepts of RD and Sweet, Arosaurer, Boldguard, Brachio Rex, Dark Spiner, as well as some animation concepts for how the Zoids should move.

 

 Partial scans have been added for the September and December 2002 issues of CoroCoro, as well as the January, February, and May 2005 issues. These were scanned from a lot of pre-cut pages obtained a while ago, so are missing some advertisements and the manga pages. These include some awesome Liger Zero Falcon, Energy Liger, Gairyuki, and Genesis dioramas. It really shines these Zoids in a whole new light! And I'm not just saying that because there's a Gairyuki below.

 

 Two NJR model kit instructions have been added to the Instructions page (linked at the top of the Model Kits page), Dark Spiner and Liger Zero. The instruction manuals for these were generously donated by Rhasputin, along with a large number of others. We'll be slowly scanning them over time and trying to expand this section.

 

 Official Fan Book 2 has updated with the final 3 chapters! This includes the Zoids Remodeling Project, which features a huge number of custom Zoids, including some that didn't appear in the story itself, but may still be familiar, like Climber Wolf and Spark Liger! It also features a Strength Comparison Chart for a huge number of Zoids that've appeared in the story thus far. We've put this in image format and in text format, for the sake of viewing convenience. And with that, Fan Book 2 is all wrapped up! I'll be moving on to Fan Book 3 very soon, and thank you so much to everyone who has been reading along thus far!

 

 Chapter 5 of Zoids Wild EX-ZERO has been added, along with scans for HJM's October 2020 issue! This is the second to last chapter, but don't worry, there's plenty more planned. In this chapter, Shishio finally awakens, but his Liger does not. Will they be able to awaken the newly remodeled Armd Liger before it can be destroyed by the enemy sniper's Gun Jaguar?

 

 The Dengeki Hobby Magazine section has been updated with scans for the October 2004 and June 2006 issues. This includes some Zoids Generations content, BLOX customs, BLOX Geno Saurer and Shield Liger introduction, Mercy Rabbit art, Rebirth Century customs, artwork, and story, as well as the concept art for Brastle Tiger! I know a lot of people have been wanting to see larger scans of this fierce tiger, so check it out in the 2004 issue! I've also replaced the April 2009 scans with new ones. Many of our magazines were scanned on an old scanner that bleached out almost all colors, and I'm slowly working on replacing them with better ones (save for the HMM Geno Breaker scans, because those stark white claws and teeth just can't be saved.)

 

 A review has been added to the NJR Model Kits section for the Zoids Collection DX "Dragoon Nest" playset! I'm really glad to be able to review this kit, and hope to someday pick up the other playsets. It has a surprising amount of articulation and gimmicks.

 

 A new chapter has been added to Official Fan Book 2. This Chapter, Super Scoop!!, discusses the next generation Zoids, including the birth of CAS-focused units like the Liger Zero, as well as products leading up to it, like the Elephander, one of the first Zoids to introduce CAS-like gear. It also goes over some of the products released during that time, such as the large DX playsets.

 

 The little additional side story from the Zoids Generations book has been added! You can now view the (Prologue?), which follows Raetelme on her adventure into the Generations timeline. The chapter includes pirate crew Flying Fish Pirates and their low-flying transporter, the Whale Queen. This is the last actual story chapter, but there's plenty of lore stuff coming up in the profiles.

 A page for That's Zoids "First Story" has also been added, which goes over some of Raetelme's interviews from Dengeki Hobby Magazone and the amazing art drawn by Mercy Rabbit that went along with it!

 

 Automatic translations have been added to the HMM 030 Liger Zero Jager and HMM 046 Shield Liger DCS-J model kit pages. Kotobukiya has gone through a lot of trouble to expand lore and specification details for every Zoid in their lineup, and these two are no exception. Packed with tons of technical info, you can use the HMM-universe lore to fill out your headcanons about these unique Zoids!

 

 Scans have been added for Dengeki Hobby Magazine May 2004, May 2005, February 2006, and July 2011 issues. Articles of note include a look at some Panzer Tier artwork including an interview, Brachios kit overview, some assorted Genesis goods that haven't really been documented much before, Mugen Liger concept art, and a look at the unreleased Zoids One BLOX Iron Kong, Gairyuki, and Seismosaurus.

 

 We've already covered the Zoids of the Republic, but now you can read all about the Empire Zoids that featured in Volume 2 of the Official Fan Books! This also includes some Zoids that didn't feature, like the Empire's Command Wolf, and some information on the hierarchy of the Empire troops. Also fixed the broken links on the main OFB page. The next sections won't take long to address, since they're relatively short.

 

 We've added the first part of the extra Chaotic Century chapter that featured in CoroCoro Aniki! In this part of the chapter, Van and Irvine face off in some basic training. We're actively working on the second half of the chapter and will have it to you as soon as possible. There are big plans for expansions to the CC section!

 

 Chapter 4 of Zoids Wild EX-ZERO has been added to the books and articles directories! In this chapter, Cutter wakes up in a strange village, with an even stranger artifact nearby. Soon he meets the village guardian, a Zoid that has been appearing in his dreams. Why does the elusive Kagura Fox seem so familiar?
