OFB4 The World of BLOX - The Iron Bible

- The World of Zoids BLOX

Zoids BLOX is another Zoids series that makes use of common blox and joints to allow them to be easily rearranged and modified. The official setting will be revealed here for the first time! How were BLOX born, and how did they evolve? And what are their hidden future possibilities?

- The Birth of the New Artificial Battle Machine Beasts, Zoids BLOX!!

There are magnesser systems built into each part. BLOX can be rearranged much more quickly than normal Zoid armaments

The BLOX system was developed by the private company ZOITEC. Their base, the Eastern Continent, suffered catastrophic damage to the wild Zoid ecosystem as a result of the Grand Catastrophe of Planet Zi. It was no longer possible to convert wild forms into machine beasts. After much research, ZOITEC engineers succeeded in creating an artificial Zoid core. Furthermore, by standardizing the parts, they were able to create "BLOX", artificial Zoids that could be mass-produced and also rearranged.

Armed Parts

Cockpit

System Block: Basic parts that form the body of BLOX. They can be used to attach armaments.

Zoid Core Block: The artificial Zoid core. It generates power approximately equivalent to one small wild Zoid.

The Conflict Between Republican Zoids BLOX and Imperial Chimera BLOX!!

BLOX Vs. Chimera. Artificial Zoids created by ZOITEC attracted a lot of attention as weapons.

The first thing that caught BLOX's attention was the Neo Zenebas Empire. BLOX, which could be mass-produced at a low cost, was an ideal weapon for emerging nations with weaker foundations. Furthermore, Neo Zenebas had intimidated ZOITEC and forced them to develop unmanned chimeras with a more militaristic flare.

ZOITEC, who'd hoped for BLOX to be used for peaceful purposes had objected to this. They secretly approached the Republican army, an anti-Zenebas force, and supported the Republic from behind the scenes in the form of providing them a free supply of BLOX.

Chimeras with multiple functions in a single device. Since they're unmanned machines, there's no soldier to grow exhausted.

- BLOX Evolve From Experimental Machines

To Actual Combat Models!

- Reinforced and Transformed by the Changemize System!

The power of an individual BLOX can't be compared to normal Zoids of the same class. In terms of power and vitality, they're definitely inferior to their wild counterparts. However, BLOX have a unique system that compensates for this shortcoming. The Changemize System. BLOX can freely change their form and armaments to suit the terrain and battle conditions. Even on the front lines where maintenance facilities are lacking.

A test machine for Imperial Changemize Chimeras. A Chimera Dragon is connected to the Lord Gale's lower body.

Both armies have intensely researched more powerful laws of changemizing.

A BLOX that can changemize into a flying form. This practical advantage hasn't gone unnoticed, and the day when BLOX will be invited to the battlefield is drawing near.

- The Search For Manned Chimeras To Command Unmanned Chimeras!

Commanding Chimeras were developed, such as the Lord Gale and Deantler, with the ability to command others.

The Chimeras adopted by Neo Zenebas were unmanned machines that fought with their own eyes, making their own judgements in battle. They were a revolutionary weapon that would instantly multiply their military power. However, a problem arose during the testing phase. Although they could handle individual battles, they were unable to take strategic action in large-scale battles. There was only one way to solve this problem. That was to organize manned Chimera units to command the unmanned units.

Command Chimeras are manned machines, each controlling the actions of 10 ~ 30 other machines.

The most powerful Changemize machine, Leostriker, and the command chimera, Lord Gale were both completed. Both armies decided to put BLOX into action.

- A Fusion of Regular Zoids and BLOX!

- BLOX and regular Zoids can be combined with the Changemize System!

A Storch equipped with Deantler's antennas. It's used as a command machine for unmanned flying Chimeras.

Soon after BLOX were introduced to the battlefield, front-line soldiers realized that the weapons of destroyed BLOX could be reused on regular Zoids. This was because the BLOX parts, which were designed to be reassembled were thus designed to work even when they were detached from the main body.

BLOX could thus serve as 'walking weapons' able to strengthen normal Zoids.

Dimetro Lancer
In preparation for unexpected encounters, the Dimetrodon, with its low melee capabilities, was armed with the spears from Demonshead.

Giga Buster
Four Buster Eagle cannons enhances its firepower. When engaged in melee, these parts can be forcibly removed to make itself lighter.

Gorsniper
It's equipped with Boldguard's weapons. They work in conjunction with Gorheck's electronic systems for ultra-precise shooting.

Arolauncher
A modified Arosaurer with no mid-range armaments, but has an attached Cannondiver turret.

- The Future of BLOX Has Unlimited Possibilities!

- Completion of "B-CAS", dedicated BLOX Equipped To Regular Zoids As Standard Equipment.

The fusion of normal Zoids and BLOX has further evolved into B-CAS, which was first realized with the Gairyuki and Liger Zero Phoenix. This is a BLOX that's designed to be equipped to regular Zoids from the start, and can be freely combined and separated. When combined, they greatly enhance the basic capabilities of regular Zoids.

When combined, Gairyuki's B-CAS Hien and Gekkou become
Condenser Panels that absorb enemy beam attacks.

8-Section transforming BLOX expand variations of fusion and transformation

Variable Core Block TB8.

A new type of artificial Zoid Core was also developed to make the transformation function of BLOX smoother. It's the TB8 mounted on Leogator and Dimetroptera. This enables them to transform into completely different forms, such as a lion or crocodile.

A bomber and electronic warfare mcahine. The TB8 can transform it into two completely different forms.

Dimetroptera: Dimetrodon Mode <-- Mode Change --> Pteranodon Mode

- The Strongest and Final Form

- Liger Zero Falcon

The latest BLOX Jet Falcon is a B-CAS that transforms Liger Zero into its ultimate form.
