Zoids Battle Story

ZAC 2101 It was the beginning of this year. Both the Helic Republic and the Guylos Empire were preparing for the upcoming Dark Continent (the Continent of Nyx) Landing War. However, the balance of power between the two countries had completely reversed since two years ago. The Imperial Regent, Prozen, had sent two Death Stinger units to the Western Continent. The Death Stinger had attacked the Republican troops. However, at that time, the white beast king "Liger Zero" stood up in front of the evil warrior. Around that time, the 416 units, which had received special orders, headed for the battlefield, with the goal of eradicating the remaining Imperial units.

Fuselage Explanation

These are Zoids that are equipped and used differently depending on the operation goals of each unit. There are 416 units. It's a military unit composed of Command Wolves, known as the "Blue Army" because of its coloring. The unit uses a type commonly known as the AC (Attack Custom), which is slightly customized for each individual.

- Review

    The Command Wolf AC is one of the most original in the NJR line. At least as far as colors are concerned. This unique Zoid uses a metallic fleck paint that is far more vibrant than its later reimagined Kotobukiya version. It almost looks like glitter melded into the plastic. Definitely different, for this one midnight blue Zoid, certainly refreshing.

    As you can see from the photos, Command Wolf AC comes with the CP-04 Attack unit molded in a lighter black color. While this goes for all Command Wolves I would say that the AC is a very sturdy Zoid, and as one that has remained fairly inexpensive over the years it's definitely one I'd recommend to everyone. This is, without a doubt, my favorite Command Wolf variation.

    For motorized features the Command Wolf AC only walks forward, but it has two different speeds. If the head is lowered the Zoid will slink, and when the head is raised it will move much faster.

- Gimmicks

- Cockpit

Command Wolf AC is one of several Zoids who's cockpit not only flips open, but also has a control panel that can rotate upwards. This is to mimick the one seen in the show, and does not obscure the pilot.

- Jaws

The jaws also open but because of the panel under his face it cannot open very far.

- Head

Command Wolf AC has two points of articulation in the neck. One is where the head attaches, allowing it to rotate upwards, even when the neck is positioned down. The neck also has three additional weapon pegs. Two on the sides of the throat and one on the top of the neck. The side panel of the neck obscures the throat pegs too much to use the normal Command Wolf gun that comes with it, but you can use a smaller weapon here, such as he Zaber Fang's single barrel guns.

- Neck

The second point of articulation is the neck, which is again an upwards rotation. This also directly affects the Command Wolf's speed. If the head is lowered the Zoid will move slower. If the head is up the Zoid will speed along.

- Tail

Another hinge joint. The tail can rotate up and down, but it also has two other weapon pegs for repositioning the guns.

- Attack Unit

The CP-04 is a pretty articulate weapon for its time. Because it sets on a peg it has a 360 degree range of motion, but that's not all. The weapon also has a hunge joint (seen in photo 3) that allows it to rate up and down (limited by the sides of the Zoid, of course).

- Stabilizers

The CP-04 side panels can rotate upwards and downwards. They have a much better range of motion than the hinge joint of the gun.

- Attack Unit (Antenna?)

This piece on top of the Attack Unit flips up, or folds down. To be honest I'm not sure what it is, but if you happen to know please let us know!
