The Zoids Generations page has been updated with Chapter 5! In this chapter we make a quick pit stop to participate in the Sunlight Festival. Soon after, Midori leaves on a task to deliver a warning to Veauregard, the owner of a Zoid Ranch that's already under a lot of pressure. As always, this chapter is translated using google translate, so expect a number of errors. Thank you for your understanding!

 

 The Zoids Official Fan Book page has been with chapters 3 & 4 of Official Fan Book 2! These chapters are relatively short, but we'll be moving into the meat of the story soon. For now, the bulk of the Republic's forces have to make their way to Europa, before the real war begins! Please be aware that this page uses automatic translations, so may contain errors.

 

 The August 2018 issue of CoroCoro Comic has been added to articles! I've decided to go ahead and start uploading the non-manga scans for the Zoids Wild time period of CoroCoro. These include some amazing diorama images for you to check out!

 

 An update has been rolled out for the Zoids BLOX Promotional Video page (found under Media Box > Inclusive Media > Zoids BLOX). This includes screencaps of the first 2 chapters, as well as a video for the second chapter, which is an overview of the Matrix BLOX.

- New Video Added!

 

 While Zoids Wild hasn't been picked up by any major subtitle groups, the entire series has now been dubbed in Hong Kong. As such, to tide people over until proper subs become available, a new page has been added for "Dubtitles." These are subtitles timed to the Japanese youtube release, using the script from the English Hong Kong dub. We hope to do at least 2-3 episodes a week. For now we have episodes 8 ~ 11 available. Falcarius was also kind enough to provide his original Subtitle files, which are proper translations of the episodes. This is why we didn't start at episode 1. Subs are always better!

 

 The second chapter of Zoids Official Fan Book Volume 2 has been added! This chapter covers the first encounter between the Geno Saurer and the Blade Liger, and some insight into other Zoids that possess the Organoid System.

 

 Today we have finally started a translation of the Zoids Official Fan Book 2! You can read the introductory pages along with the first chapter. There's also a huge map of the Western Continent and a Liger Zero poster. We'll be actively working on the rest of the book and hope to have more soon. Please note that these pages use automatic translation, so may contain mistakes.

 

 Chapter 4 of Zoids Generations is now available! In this chapter we begin to hear some important questions, like why Bio Zoids are attacking and devouring other Zoids, and what Seki may know about the situation. We're also introduced to the gorgeous Empressa and her pilot, Sona, the princess of the country of Ya Han, who has arrived to investigate the sudden surge of Bio Zoids.

 As a general reminder, our Zoids Generations chapters use automatic translation, so contain a decent number of errors! They are provided as an easier way for readers to get the gist of what's happening in the story, until such a time that better translations become available. Thank you for your understanding!

 

 This isn't exactly new content, but after a few years we've decided to redo our existing webcomic material. The first redux is the Geno Breaker Jet comic, The Twin Witches! When we first posted this comic it was riddled with errors. The whole page has been revamped, and the video reposted with a new, updated version. This should fix all of the errors that were previously present on the page. The manga section has also been renamed from the Zoids Web Comic to the proper name, ZOIDS Delusional War Record. As usual, our translations were done by the amazing Falcarius!

 

 After a long wait we have readded Chaotic Century to the manga section! This down time was extended due to the sudden release of the digital books, but it has been quite some time since then. I appreciate everyone's patience while the manga was down. I know many people have a great deal of interest in this series, but are unable to read Japanese. If you are interested in owning physical copies of the books (in Japanese), please consider purchasing! It is available on AmazonJP and many other stories that handle printed media. If you can't find it, please use our contact page and I would be happy to help you locate a physical copy of the book!

 

 The June 2001 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine has been reuploaded. We had this issue earlier, though it was temporarily missing with the revamp. This is because it was being rescanned with much better colors. No more bleaching out effect on the pages! I'll be working on rescanning more of our old magazine scans. The August 2002 issue has also been uploaded, which contains some concept art. Both issues contain images of huge display Zoids, like the 1/6 scale Leoblaze and Unenlagia.

 

 The July 2000 issue of CoroCoro Comic has been uploaded! These scans are from purchased cutouts, so some pages weren't able to be repaired. This is also why some have cut off text, and we are missing a page. My apologies! On the plus side it contains a lot of cool Geno Breaker imagery, and a piece of concept art for it. It also includes the Death Stinger's concept art, the fan-submitted sketch it was based off of from the Idea Contest, and the prototype of the model kit.

 

 So, its been a long time since an update! But while I've been delaying updates, I've had some assistance from a good friend to revamp the news section. This site is almost a decade old, and has been archiving news posts going all the way back to 2013 (which, even still, is quite a while after the site began in 2010). Seven years worth of news posts squished into 6 extremely overcrowded pages. Which, of course, had to be manually updated every time there was a new news post, further augmenting the problem.

 News posts are now properly coded into a database, so that they can be sorted and browsed without killing your internet connection. All posts have at least 2-4 tags, which you can use to look up news for specific topics. This means that our links down below, to browse site-specific and official-specific news are both now properly updated every single time there's a news post! So if you only want to know what TakaraTomy is announcing in an official capacity, you can stay up to date. The links under our main news section will also include a tags page, so you can search more easily for specific topics.

 We've also implemented a comments section on a trial basis. I wanted people to be able to ask for clarification on certain topics, and thought this would be a convenient way to do so, without having a full blown forum (which isn't needed, with numerous active communities on facebook, discord, etc.) The current setup uses the Disqus comment system, and we'll be ensuring that it remains appropriate for all audiences. This means we ask that you be respectful to other posters, and avoid swearing. This system was created to help people better understand the franchise, and if it turns out to be used as a means to simply bash certain topics or people, with little civil discussion, it'll be removed.

 * The links at the bottom of the page are broken, but will be fixed soon!

 

 Falcarius dropped an amazing Christmas gift around December 24 ~ 25th -- A full translation of the Official Fan Book Vol. 1! He's given permission for the Fan Book Vol. 1 book to be updated with these translations, so they should now be free of all the errors that crop up from automatic translation~ The whole book is already done.

 

 Our sections for Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Hobby Japan Magazine (found under articles) have received some much needed care. Both have been divided into pages organized by year, to cut down on the mass thumbnail loading spam. The main page now, instead, contains tables for the magazines throughout the years. This is a simple checklist, mostly for my own reference, to include what magazines I currently own (and will eventually post- as scans are cleaned up), what ones are known to (or not to) contain Zoids content, and what ones are currently unknown.

 With this update, Dengeki Hobby Magazine has also received some updates. You can now find scans for April, November, and September 2002. This contains some neat stuff, like the old Wild Liger statue used in the box art, a Gojulas Mariner custom (well, lots of Giggles content), and some concept art from the Smack Zoids series.

- Zoids Wild EX-ZERO!

 On the topic of HJM, the January 2020 issue launched a new series known as "Zoids Wild EX-ZERO". This featured a battle story esque plotline, using custom models in diorama settings to deliver the story. Custom examples were included following the story, and it was heavily implied that it would continue in later issues. However, the February issue contained no Zoids content at all. Here's hoping that more will be added in later issues!

 In the mean time, an automatic translation of the new story, Zoids Wild EX-ZERO has been posted! You can find this both under the HJM 2020 page (in the header for that month), and in the books section. As this relies on automatic translation it is bound to have a lot of mistakes, and is provided only as a convenient way to better read those automatic translations. The page includes all content published during that month.

 

 Two articles have been added to the Zoids Index: Gojulas and Fangtiger! Fangtiger is also our first to include citations, which I'll slowly be working on adding to the earlier articles where necessary. This includes the basics, such as weapon lists and explanations, concept art, and a general overview.

 

 The Zoids Wild model kit section has been brought up to date, to include basic product details on all currently announced (standard-release) Wild kits. This includes build videos, weapon names, etc. We've got a lot of Wild kit news to cover in the official franchise announcements below!

 

 The names page has been updated. It now includes multiple categories at the bottom, such as series names, assorted products, some book names, etc. This should make our footnote sections easier to navigate. The issue of the YJ link directing to kit-specific categories has also been fixed. For AmazonJP this is intentionally set to toys so that it will only display kits sold through Amazon directly, not third party Amazon sellers.

 

 Zoids has seen the start of its first crowdfunding campaign! Measuring at a massive 50 x 44 cm, ZOIDSWILD The ART of BATTLEFIELDS is a book that showcases tons of the beautiful Zoids works seen in CoroCoro Comic and other outlets. It's wonderful to see these beautiful photos without all of the text that clutters them in the accompanying magazine.

 In addition, if the project is funded, everyone who pledged the required 11,000 yen (roughly $110) will receive the Fang Tiger "White Tiger Form" armor parts set, a set that was currently one of CoroCoro's 100 limiteds. They will also receive a special poster of the cast from the Chaotic Century manga. The poster is printed in the same size as the book, so there will be no creases in it.

 The cover of the book features a 1/1 scale Wild Liger cap, which is fitting for the recent series. The book also has a double fold to see the panorama style diorama images.



 So, what do we need to know? First off, the crowdfounding is available to residents of Japan only. If you try to support from another country, your pledge will be cancelled. However, services like From Japan, Celga, and White Rabbit Express will be able to help you relay your support. The project is currently 15% funded with 27 days to go, ending on January 31st.

 Breakdown:
  End Date: January 31st
  Crowdfunding Rewards: * Pledge costs 11,000 Yen
   x1 "ZOIDSWILD The ART of BATTLEFIELDS" book (50 x 44 cm)

    Chapter 3 of Zoids Generations is up! In this chapter Midori encounters a deadlier species of Bio Zoid, and is forced to reflect on the decisions shes made up until this point. I also went back and fixed the embarassing link issue of Chapter 2 linking to Chapter 1 instead, so if you missed out on that, you should be able to read it now!
