- Introduction
The Blitz Team is all together!
HMM's first flight-type Zoid, the Pteras!!
The vivid blue color is reproduced in the molding color, and various armaments representative of the Jamie Spec. are also recreated. The most characteristic feature of the flying Zoid, the wing, is also flexible and movable. Not only can it be greatly expanded, but HMM's interpretation of the "standby state", where the wings are folded in front of the chest, has also been recreated.
In addition, ZOIDS specifications familiar to fans are recreated in the HMM version, such as the reproduction of the gimmick where the head can act as a stand-alone flying unit, and the polycap-shaped parts are new molds that correspond with the Takara Tomy Version
A painted Jamie Hemeros pilot figure is included. By replacing certain parts you can also recreate a normal Pteras (though the molding color complies with the Jamie spec.) You can use the Mechanical Flying Base 3 (sold separately) to display it in flight. You can recreate the powerful flight scenes during play.

History of the Pteras Bomber
Eve of a Zoid Battle
"You sure are diligent."
The Liger Zero's Zoid pilot Bit Cloud called out to Jamie Hemeros, who was doing maintenance on his beloved Pteras Bomber in preparation for a Zoid Battle the next day.
"You too, Bit - you've only just got back from a walk and you're coming to see the Liger again."
As Jamie said, Bit clearly spent a lot of time with the Liger. Sometimes he even slept in its cockpit or at its feet.
"Well yeah, he's my partner. Right, Liger?"
The Liger Zero gave a "grarr" in response.
"Must be nice being partners with the Liger. It answers you."
The Liger Zero was a unique case among combat Zoids, showing responses that could be called expressions of emotion. But Bit didn't think that was anything special.
"Zoids are alive. The Pteras will answer you too!"
But Jamie's reply clearly showed he didn't understand the true meaning of Bit's words.
"The Pteras doesn't have a vocal unit, so it can't. Its only ability is flying."
A difficult character entered the maintenance area, hearing only his last sentence.
"We've put together the next battle because of that flying Pteras!"
It was Steve Toros, the owner of Team Blitz. Without anyone asking, he started on one of his specialty Zoid-description lectures.
"Besides, Jamie! The Pteras may be an air combat Zoid, but its legs use the same tough frame as the Godos, and have been adjusted for more flexible movement..."
The pair listened with sour faces. However...
"Everybody~ Rinon's hand-made dinner is ready~"
Rinon's voice sounded from the speakers, interrupting the Doc's explanation, and it seemed like they had been released from their torment... but it was out of the frying pan, into the fire. The two of them left with gloomy expressions, not looking forward to the dinner's flavour.
The heated-up Doctor Toros continued to talk about the Pteras in the deserted maintenance area, fully self-absorbed.
"Oh, wait a minute..." A troublesome urge was born in his mind.
Menace of the Sky
The Zoid Battle Commission had invited a guest team from a different continent as a test, looking at new developments in the next season. They had set up a special match against Team Blitz, who were showing remarkable performance. The format was set as "Battle Mode 0978", a four-on-four Zoid Battle held in three dimensions by including one flying Zoid. Furthermore, following the opposing side's rules, it was being held in a "blind battle" format where the Zoid types were not announced and scanning functions such as radar were not allowed. In the lead, Jamie's Pteras Bomber picked up the enemy Zoids visually."Found them! Two Helcats. I'll attack them!"
The Helcats launched anti-air attacks with their beam guns, but seeing that they were at a disadvantage, they concealed themselves with their characteristic ability, the "optical camouflage feature". However, the "radar-guided anti-surface missile unit" equipped on the Pteras Bomber picked up the invisible enemies and accurately launched a volley of air-to-surface missiles. A hit! The two Zoids were incapacitated.
"Not bad, Jamie!"
Honest praise from Rinon was uncommon.
"Can you take care of the Saber Tiger? I'll get the flying Zoid!"
Jamie's spirits were high after his first scores in some time. But that didn't last long...
"Found it! The flying Zoid. It's a Pter..."
The silhouette looked the same shape. But as he got closer, it rapidly grew larger, and he could confirm that its wingspan reached almost twice that of the Pteras Bomber. The enemy before him was a "Salamander", the Republic Army's large-scale flying Zoid that was extolled as the "king of the sky" during the war. On this continent, it was a valuable, high-rarity Zoid.
"No way! I can't fight a Salamander!"
It was no surprise that Jamie had turned timid. While this Zoid was focused on bombing, it was an all-purpose Zoid that could handle everything from air-to-air combat to close-range melee fights with large-scale land Zoids.
Jamie hastily fired his air-to-air missiles at its huge approaching body. But they didn't land a hit, and he immediately turned around and tried to pull away using his boosters so that he could gather himself. However, the Salamander approached calmly with its superior speed. Rather than use its missiles, it bathed him in flamethrower flashes from its mouth. They didn't hit directly. But they caused a fault in his Magnesser System, so the Pteras Bomber could no longer remain at high altitude.
"Don't admire it, Jamie!"
Rinon's Gun Sniper lay waiting in the Salamander's path.
"I've been waiting for you~. I'll turn you into crispy fried chicken in one hit! Weasel Unit, Full Burst!"
A barrage one wouldn't expect from a single small-scale Zoid scattered into the air. But the Salamander released chaff (electromagnetic wave reflectors) and flares (infrared camouflage) and evacuated to a high altitude in an instant using its tremendous power, leaving only a smoke cloud behind.
"Huh, did I get it?"
The answer to Rinon's question rushed down from the sky at once. Although the power of its ammunition had been reduced, the Salamander's carpet bombing easily incapacitated the Gun Sniper.
With the help of support attacks from Ballad's Command Wolf, Bit's Liger Zero finally succeeded in finishing off the remaining Zoid, a Saber Tiger AT, in melee combat. The Salamander, which had been planning to support the Saber Tiger, swept down on these two Zoids. They split up, and the Liger Zero ran around as a decoy to give the Command Wolf time to fire. However, in contrast to their expectations, the Salamander set its sights on the Command Wolf, which had anti-air features.
"Dammit, were we too obvious!?"
The Liger Zero headed to support it. Bit was in a panic.
"Biiit~."
Jamie's Pteras Bomber approached him, flying just above the ground.
"Jamie, you haven't been taken out yet?"
In their usual Zoid Battle pattern, he'd have been incapacitated long ago.
"Nope! But I got attacked and can't use my weapons, or fly very high!"
Now the Pteras Bomber was no different to a ground Zoid.
"Hmm, what do we do?"
Bit worried.
Just then, the Doc's Zoid-description lecture replayed in Jamie's mind.
"Its legs use the same tough frame as the Godos, and have been adjusted for more flexible movement..."
The Counterattacking Bomber Dragon
"Bit, I'll try drawing it down somehow. Please do as I say!"It would be impossible to even reach the airborne Salamander with the Liger Zero's jump. Even malfunctioning, the Pteras Bomber had a higher chance of reaching it.
"I don't really get it, but let's try it, Jamie!"
Jamie mutually linked the two Zoids' combat computers to synchronise their actions. Waiting for the work to be done, the Liger Zero began its charge at the Salamander. The Pteras Bomber was lined up perfectly behind it. The Salamander responded to the approaching enemies with its flamethrower, but the Liger Zero's manoeuvrability and Bit's piloting skill let him and the tailing Pteras Bomber evade it. The Salamander approached rapidly, determined to finish them off.
"Bit, jump!"
The Liger Zero used its boosters for a maximum-size jump. The Pteras Bomber also ignited its boosters, passing over the top of the Liger Zero, and used its legs to jump, using the Liger's back as a pedestal. The Salamander switched to a climb as the Pteras Bomber sprang towards it.
"It's no use. I won't make it."
The moment Jamie made this judgement, Bit shouted.
"Jamie, trust the Pteras!"
Hearing those words, Jamie shouted too.
"You can do it, Pteras!"
Its Zoid Core gave a groan. The Pteras's wings shone gold.
"Resonance between human and Zoid" sometimes produced wondrous power. On the verge of stalling, the Pteras Bomber climbed even higher at high speed, pulling close to the Salamander. And a dropkick from both its rigid legs slammed into the huge Zoid's belly.
Unable to withstand it, the Salamander lost its balance and approached the ground, entering point-blank range for the Liger Zero.
"Strike Laser Claw!"
Along with Bit's shout, the Liger Zero's finishing move blasted into it. The injured Salamander was slammed into the ground and fell silent.
"Game set! Winner: Team Blitz!"
The Judgeman's voice echoed across the battlefield.
Jamie snuggled up to the crash-landed Pteras Bomber.
"My Pteraaas~"
Instead of his usual wail of grief, this was an elated voice. As Bit had said, the Pteras Bomber had responded to Jamie's feelings. And so Jamie's affection for his Pteras grew even deeper. But he didn't know that misfortune would be coming a few days later, when his beloved Pteras Bomber would be sold on Doctor Leon's impulse...
