- EZ-069 Seismosaurus
Seismosaurus is the longest Zoid kit ever made, with an impressive turret design featuring more guns than most. Unfortunately, reports from fans as of 2020 report that the kit suffers from brittle plastic syndrome, so it may be worth taking into account when buying and building.

- Fuselage Explanation
The Neo-Zenebas Empire, which had taken control of the Central Continent, had an urgent need to wipe out the remaining Helic Republican troops. However, the Republican Army had the Gojulasgiga, an invincible Zoid with great fighting ability and mobility. Therefore, the Empire established a method of negating all of the Giga's specialized abilities by attacking from outside of its range. This plan was to develope a "long-range anti-Gojulasgiga artillery type".
In order to shoot through the Giga's ancient titanium armor from a great distance away, they used the long body design as a barrel for the Charged Particle Cannon and Particle Accelerator. Then, in the summer of ZAC 22106, the Imperial Engineering Department finally built a giant Zoid, the Seismosaurus, equiped with a Super-Focused Charged Particle Cannon (commonly known as the Zenebas Cannon). Now, the greatest crisis is about to befall the Republican Army and the Gojulasgiga.
- Seismosaurus Wild Body
Wild Zoids are life forms like dinosaurs, beasts, insects, etc. that are covered in metal exoskeletons and inhabit Planet Zi. Combat Zoids are created by capturing these Wild Zoids, retaining the Zoid Core (a sphere that contains the brain, nervous system, heart, etc.) and replacing the metal body with a mecha. When Developing a Zoid to act as an anti-Giga, the Imperial Army's Engineering Department sought a large, robust wild body that could withstand the launch of a Super-Focused Charged Particle Cannon. The wild bodies used for the Death Saurer and Whale King were nominated, but it turned out that the sauropod wild body, which could support immense weight, had exceptionally strong endurance and energy transferability. It was decided that the Wild Seismosaurus would be selected as the base for the Anti-Giga Zoid.
- Manual Story Extra
The Gojulasgiga began the first issue of Official Fan Book EX, a series of small pamphlets/booklets released with the end of the NJR kits, detailing the battle story at that point. The issues contain some beautiful pencil artwork, model kit images, and more! Since they're rather long, we've put them on a separate page. Click the image to your left to read! While this issue isn't technically part of the Fan Book EX, the story segments do fit into the middle of the story.
This issue follows the battle for Cook Fortress, and the Empire's immediate counterattack against the Republican soldiers who captured it. As time wears on, the fortitude of the Republic's new location is called into question by long-distance gunfire from far outside their perceivable range.
