- RZ-039 Raynos



 A popular, but yet underloved kit. The Raynos' green in the NJR era matches its colors in New Century /ZERO, and it's a cool kit to add to your collection. This guy is a bit of a parts shedder, though, so watch out for missing pieces when buying built!

- Zoids Battle Story

ZAC 2101...  The Western Continent War ended with the victory for the Republican forces. However, the Imperial regent, Gunther Prozen, who had succeeded in withdrawing the main forces, rejected the ceasefire offered by the Republic. He was in a hurry to reorganize his troops. Knowing that the only way to completely end the war between the two countries was to defeat Prozen, the Republican Army decided to land their forces on the enemy's homeland, the Dark Continent of Nyx.

 They started to strengthen their Navy and Air Force. However, the Air Force was a particular problem. Mass producing the Storm Sworders, which were equipped with an Organoid System, was difficult. Eventually, the Republican Army passed a new order on to the technical team. "Resurrect the main flight Zoid of the Old War, the Raynos."

- Fuselage Explanation

 A supersonic battle machine beast that competed with the Redler for air supremacy during the Old War. The Raynos. The Raynos was developed for fighting battles, using its excellent turning radius against the Redler, which excelled at hit-and-run tactics. The results of the battles were more or less equal. It was driven to the brink of extinction 40 years ago by the catastrophe, but thanks to the Republic's long-standing protection policy, as of ZAC 2101, the population has increased enough that it can be sent out to the battlefield as a combat Zoid.
