Story Information
Pilots: Introduction:
  • Martin
  • Ogre Barook
 Originally developed as a means to counter the invincible Death Saurer, the Dibison sports incredible firepower and bravery. It's one of the strongest bombardment Zoids in the Republic, with some of the greatest destructive power.  [1]

- Details of Design

Heavy Armor and Temperament

 The Dibison is a heavily armored Zoid with high firepower. To suit the Zoid's combat style, its cockpit has been replaced with an armored canopy style, closer matching Zoids of the Empire.

 In terms of temperament, the Dibison is said to be quite gentle in nature, and easy to use. In spite of this, it's a courageous unit that will charge any threat, no matter how great, and never retreat from battle. Their heroic look when charging around the corner makes them popular among pilots.

- Military History


ZAC 2046, Rollout

The Dibison was rolled out as one of the few Republican Zoids who could challenge the Death Saurer to battle. It remained a consistent presence on the Republic's frontlines.


ZAC 2100, June, Deldaros Ocean

The Helic Republic launched a massive fleet containing the Republic's strongest mainland defense forces (approximately 400,000 troops and 20,000 combat Zoids) with the goal of putting a swift end to the war on Europa. If the battle could be ended quickly, far fewer citizens, of both countries, would fall to war. Over the Deldaros Ocean, a new battle broke out. The Neo Turtle Ships were attacked by Sinkers, but just as the battle seemed won, the Republic revealed their counterattack. Numerous heavily-armed Zoids including the Gojulas the Ogre division emerged from the hatches of the ships, and destroyed almost every Sinker in the sky. Dibisons were among the heavily-armed units that defended their fleet.


ZAC 2100, July, Pursuit of Retreating Imperial Units

After the failed attempt on Rob Base, the Empire had exhausted its supplies and were forced to retreat. They chose two different routes through which to escape, a northern and a southern route. Dibisons were deployed to pursue these escaping forces, but were ultimately unsuccesful. The southern pursuit was interrupted by Ritz Runstedt, piloting the Guylos Empire's new Geno Breaker. Once the bridge over Hesperides Lake was destroyed, the Republic was unable to follow the Imperial troops. Though few tried, they were intercepted by the Empire's Black Rhimos.



- Equipment Information

- 105mm 17-Barrelled Assault Gun

105mm 17-Barrelled Assault Gun: 105mm17連突撃砲

 The Dibison's incredible arsenal is almost entirely compiled into this massive back unit. Each row of barrels moves independently, providing a wide barrage or a focused firestorm of shots. Few Zoids within its weight class can survive this bombardment.

- 35mm Anti-Air Gun x2

35mm Anti-Air Gun x2: 35mm対空砲×2

 Two guns installed to the lower back / rear of the Dibison. They're able to rotate up and down, firing at pursuing Zoids in the sky.

- 8-Shot Missile Pod x2

8-Shot Missile Pod x2: 8連ミサイルポッド×2

 Two missile pods installed to the cheeks. Together, the two boxes provide a grand total of 16 missiles per round. Their attachment also allows the pods to rotate up and down.

- Anti-Zoid 3-Barrelled Shock Gun

Anti-Zoid 3-Barrelled Shock Gun: 対ゾイド3連衝撃砲

 A heavy artillery weapon attached to the chest of the Dibison. It fires three rounds focused on targets directly in front of it.

- Crusher Metal Spike x4

Crusher Metal Spike x4: クラッシャーメタルスパイク×4

 The Dibison's hooves are a weapon all their own, able to stomp and crush enemy Zoids who stand in its way.

- GPS 3D Radar Antenna

GPS 3D Radar Antenna: GPS3Dレーダーアンテナ

 The GPS 3D Radar Antenna is stored in the back of the 17-Barrelled Assault Gun pack. The back panel flips open to reveal the GPS radar, which, while normally laying flat, can lift up and deploy. The location also functions as a secondary cockpit, with a second pilot stationed beside the radar antenna. When deployed, the GPS 3D Radar captures accurate information on enemies both on the ground and in the skies, relaying that information to the cockpit while also working in conjunction with the Pulse Beam Gun on the tail.

- Pulse Beam Gun

Pulse Beam Gun: パルスビームガン

 A gun equipped to the tail. This energy-based weapon can fire at an angle depending on the position of the Dibison's tail, and works in conjunction with the secondary cockpit located in the back.

- Twin Crusher Horns

Twin Crusher Horns: ツインクラッシャーホーン×2

 The Crusher Horns are composed of a super copper titanium alloy, and are powerful enough to penetrate even the super heavy armor of the Death Saurer. With the Dibison's natural courage, this makes it incredibly deadly.
