A new teaser image has been posted over on the Zoids Official twitter. This is the third out of four teasers posted in the April issue of CoroCoro Comic. We can probably assume that the fourth will be posted online as well. The series will begin its serialization starting in the May issue of this year.

    In no particular order. We're very late on some of these updates, sorry about that! Here's the new information charts that were posted on the Zoids Official Twitter. We still have a few Zoids to hear information on, such as the names of those only clarified by types.

    Scorpear: A small Zoid that hides in sandy areas and specializes in surprise attacks.
    Nickname: Assassination Cactus
    Traits: Scissors, Poison Spear
    Stats: Speed: 5 / Attack: 5 / IQ: 6 / Stamina: 6 / Defense: 4 / Wild Burst: 6
    Wild Burst Technique: Hit and Death

    Gabrigator: It lives on the riverbanks of jungle areas and is good at ambushing.
    Nickname: Devil's Crocodile Jaw
    Traits: Crumble Jaw, Mist Discharger, Claws
    Stats: Speed: 7 / Attack: 9 / IQ: 5 / Stamina: 5 / Defense: 5 / Wild Burst: 8
    Wild Burst Technique: Hell's Jaw Bite

    Zoids Wild featured at Anime Japan 2018, along with the large Wild Liger that we saw at previous showcases. The Zoid featured bright glowing eyes, which certainly makes it look creepier than before! We got a little bit of info, but not a ton, so let's move into it.

    The event featured assorted goods that were given to participants, including: A clear file, Zoids Wild Beef Jerkey, Paper Advertisements, and a plastic baggy for your goods. Just silly little trinkets, mostly, but they're all over Yahoo Japan right now for those avid collectors out there.

    The first new piece of information to mention is that we finally have a broadcast schedule for the Zoids Wild anime. It's scheduled to air starting in July on MBS / TBS channels in Japan, at 6:30 pm every Saturday. This is between 5 and 8 AM for most people in the united states. There are some reliable streams for TBS online for international viewers that are interested in catching these early morning streams.

    A new preview (which we'll post below) has revealed a little scene from the anime, as well as some new characters. However, the display at the event also confirmed a new faction: Supreme, sporting a yellow sabertooth logo, which so far includes the Rhinoceros Beetle, the Brachiosaurus, and an unknown sabertooth looking type shown in the preview!


    Characters and their Voice Actors:
    Arashi: Zoid - Wild Liger / Team: Freedom / Voiced by Kensho Ono
    Bacon: Zoid - Unknown / Team: Supreme / Voiced by Takahiro Sakurai -- (New Character!)
    Gyoza: Zoid - Unknown / Team: Supreme / Voiced by Kimura Subaru -- (New Character!)
    Onigiri: Zoid - Cannontoise / Team: Freedom / Voiced by Kozakura Etsuko
    Penne: Zoid - Scorpear / Team: Freedom / Voiced by Mikako Komatsu

    Not only has CoroCoro Comic April 2018 released some teasers but the Zoids Official twitter has also posted the second of four teaser images shown in the book. We've already seen the first teaser page. The book also included a couple spreads of diaroma style images featuring the Wild Liger kit. We plan to post Corocoro scans 1-2 months after release, unless the Zoids Official twitter releases the last two teaser pages.

    First, let's go back to the build video post. Falcarius was able to give some insight into the map included in the Wild Liger instruction booklet, which shows off the Wild Continent. We've rigged up an image with English details using those translations. The text that was printed on screen (not in the booklet) below the map gives a vague teaser.

    "Humans have sighted Wild Liger bones buried in the ground, but it is said that nobody has seen one in the process of being reconstructed..."

    Second, in the past couple of days, the Zoids Official twitter has been posting images and stats of the upcoming Zoids! This includes the fact that the Rhinoceros Beetle is also scheduled for release in June, meaning there are 3 total kits confirmed for that month. We've yet to see a price tag, and we still don't know how many kits will be prepared for that month.

    Moving onto some stats:

    Rhinoceros Beetle Type:
    Nickname: Launching Head Horn
    Features: Head Horn, Crest Horn
    Stats: 5 Speed, 7 Attack, 3 IQ, 6 Stamina, 5 Defence, 5 Wild Blast
    Wild Blast Technique Name: Brass Knuckle Strike

    Cannontoise:
    Nickname: Hidden Shell
    Features: Front Shell, Back Shell, Side Shell
    Stats: 3 Speed, 5 Attack, 8 IQ, 8 Stamina, 10 Defence, 8 Wild Blast
    Wild Blast Technique Name: Tortoise Light Cannon

    Gilraptor:
    Nickname: Gale Dragon Claw
    Features: Head Radar, Talons
    Stats: 5 Speed, 7 Attack, 3 IQ, 6 Stamina, 5 Defence, 5 Wild Blast

    Most exciting for these updates is a Zoids Wild teaser image! The post says to look forward to the upcoming issue of CoroCoro Comic, which'll feature the upcoming manga. We'll have to see where it goes.



    Soon after posting the above, the Zoids Official Twitter posted a teaser page from the brief comic stuff in today's CoroCoro Comic issue! We'll probably see more of this throughout the day from various sources.

    There's a new battle style image, this time from the back of the Gilraptor box art. It looks like these two Zoids play off of each other, but both the Gilraptor and the Wild Liger taking a chunk out of each other.

    The Zoids Official twitter has also posted an unboxing and building video of the Wild Liger! This seems to feature a map in the booklet, which we'll have more information on later. It doesn't just feature the map though, it shows a Wild Liger skeleton still in the ground, ready to be restored. A nice aesthetic choice is also highlighted in the video, showing that the on/off switch, at least for the Wild Liger, is hidden beneath an armor piece. This means there'll be no unsightly lever sticking out of your Zoid's box, and that's fantastic.

    Zoids Wild is continuing its trend of posting images from the boxes of their upcoming Zoids. This time we have the battle style image from the back of the Wild Liger's box.

    Falcarius was also able to get some information from the box text that we haven't previously seen. Here's what we have so far:

    Also from the Zoids Official Twitter, a direct side view of the Gilraptor. Like before it has great detail. You can see through the head in spots, as a result of the moving mechanisms for the eyes.

    We've also taken a look at one of the blurbs that appears to be from the Wild Liger box, explaining a bit about the current affairs of Zoids.

    Again from the Zoids Official Twitter, a direct side view of the Wild Liger. You can see a lot of detail, including the new design choice to not have circular leg joints, and to have transparent caps.

    The Zoids Official Twitter has posted a great shot of the Gilraptor's boxart! With this clearer image we can see all of the beautiful design work that went into this kit. Interestingly, there are also 2 strange Zoids ontop of the cliff. It's not unlikely that these are just customs, but it's still great to see new "Zoid designs" introduced into the series in any way.

    Or, as Maethius keenly noticed, these are purple versions of the Gilraptor, though a new color scheme. Distinctly different from the purple one we saw on display. Many people, including myself were thrown off by the silhouette of the blades behind the Zoids, which at a glance make them appear to have a hooked beak.

    The Zoids Official Twitter has posted their first look at the Zoids Wild App! This mostly covers the ZFX feature; recording, editing, and uploading your videos, as well as the rating process of the videos. Those with high scores can earn special rewards, but this will likely only apply to residents of Japan, if it's physical goods.

    We also see that the game will include missions, such as "Subduing Stray Zoids" and "Discovering fossils sleeping in the mines." Each appears to have a time limit, a rank, and a total score. It's uncertain what this total score contributes to. Most of these are standard "Missions" with one "Battle" mission revealed in the trailer.

    We also get a good look at the Wild Liger, using the same anime style, and a generic man standing on a platform. Perhaps this man represents your character, or he could just be a random mechanic, who knows.

    Speaking of reading too much into things, one of the missions mentions the Empire. Up until this point we haven't heard any mention of the Empire or Republic in the actual story, so it's interesting that they're included in the app. The menu includes Missions, Zoids, Shop, Options, and another that I can't really make out. Rather simple so far.

    Minor details are starting to surface about Zoids Wild as more and more websites are publishing their articles. The first is that while we saw painted figures earlier, these are likely going to come with the clear pilots instead. It's still unclear if the painted figures will make an appearance in some way, shape, or form.

    We've also gotten our first look at the instruction booklet (or Reconstruction Document), which is in full color and places the parts list on the inside cover. This means that instead of switching back an forth between pages, you can keep a constant eye on the parts you need. It's a small but appreciated quality of life update to the building process. The parts themselves are in baggies, called "excavation packs." Yes, it's gimmicky.

    We saw a black and purple version of the Gilraptor in the diaroma display, but according to Robostart's new article this is likely a painted display. We'll see if it's painted to match an anime variant or not!

    Their article also shows us the back of the boxes! This is very exciting. The design looks to include diaroma images and even flavor text (an explanation of the Wild Burst), much like the NJR. No battle story, but still great designs. It seems that the kits will also use 3mm pegs. This means they'll be able to mount some weapons/etc. from older Zoid designs.

    Maidigitv has posted a complete look at the conference, which is split up into 3 different parts. Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3. A lot of it we've already covered but it's worth watching to see the animations, interactions with the toys, etc.

    In the presentation there were some higher res images of the comic drafts, which is expected to launch in the April issue of Corocoro. Click the images below to enlarge!

    The slide showed the conceptualized store, a Zoids dedicated store that'll be opening up to sell the merchandise. There are shelves lined with Zoids, already with a tiny thumbnail look at what we can expect for the box art of the Cannontoise, Gabrigator, etc. A three-dimensional Wild Liger is placed in the back right of the store, with steps up to it so that fans can go and take their picture petting a full scale Zoid! This is also just a great way to see how this Zoid would really look next to a person. It really is sized to carry kids around.

    There's a picture with tons of merchandise. Admittedly, it's hard to tell what the many square items are, but we can assume things like postcards or notebooks and similar items might surface. Things that are pretty standard for any series, really. What we can definitely see are pens, thermos, cups, bags, backpacks, shoes, keychains, hats, coasters, boots, shoes, etc. Most apparel can be expected to be in kids sizes, but things like hats will hopefully have a larger size available.

    Finally we saw some conceptualized pieces leading up to the series. The original skeletons shown earlier, a diaroma of a preserved Shield Liger, and concepts for the skeletons that are brought back from these fossilized Zoids. The archeology theme is a fun take on the toy line.
