Also getting some life is the Encyclopedia page. An article has been added for the 2nd Independent High-Speed Combat Battalion, Mount Olympus, and the Western Continent War (up to OFB1) to cover an overview of Fan Book events and details. In an effort to reduce the amount of inaccurate information floating around about certain topics, articles have also been added for the Leomasters, Organoid System, and Ultimate X. These articles include some details shared by Falcarius, but the rest is based off of our work on the Fan Books so far. So if you notice anything incorrect, please let us know!

 To clear up confusion about the Organoid System, this page only includes information based on the Official Fan Books. The anime version of the Organoid System is filed under the Ultimate X page, which discusses fan theories, details mentioned in the anime, and instances where the UX Zoids acted independently.

 A huge update has been rolled out for the NJR Model Kit section! All of the standard Zoids, 1 ~ 76 now contain their own pages, similar to our Zoids Wild and HMM sections. These pages included images (if available), stats, battle story, and fuselage explanations from the boxes. They use automatic translations, so may contain errors.

 Episodes 8 ~ 10 have been added to the Zoids Fuzors section. As usual, the pages include character and Zoid lists, a short summary, notable facts, and a video illustrating the difference between the English and Japanese versions of the show. Oh, and copious amount of screenshots, of course.

 With the episode update, the Fuzors section has also had a revamp to its Concept Art page, bringing it in line with our newer series pages. Characters, Zoids, Locations, and Assorted concepts all get their own pages, though we don't have any in the last 2 categories (yet). A good number of new concepts have been added, including earlier concepts of Amy (with a different design), Blade, color concepts of RD and Sweet, Arosaurer, Boldguard, Brachio Rex, Dark Spiner, as well as some animation concepts for how the Zoids should move.

 Partial scans have been added for the September and December 2002 issues of CoroCoro, as well as the January, February, and May 2005 issues. These were scanned from a lot of pre-cut pages obtained a while ago, so are missing some advertisements and the manga pages. These include some awesome Liger Zero Falcon, Energy Liger, Gairyuki, and Genesis dioramas. It really shines these Zoids in a whole new light! And I'm not just saying that because there's a Gairyuki below.

 Two NJR model kit instructions have been added to the Instructions page (linked at the top of the Model Kits page), Dark Spiner and Liger Zero. The instruction manuals for these were generously donated by Rhasputin, along with a large number of others. We'll be slowly scanning them over time and trying to expand this section.

 A new video has been released for the Wild Liger Clive Diaz Spec., the first Zoid of the Zoids Wild Biographies line. This Liger is based on Diaz's Liger from Zoids Wild Zero, and the video shows off all the custom work done for it. The video also mentions expanding upon lore that wasn't able to be covered during the course of the show, such as how Diaz came to pilot this Liger. The kit is available on the TakaraTomy Mall for 4,950, and while it is scheduled to be released in late July, you only have until March 31st to order!

 The Xeno Evolution Arms "Buster Unit" (Scheduled for March 27th for 1,000 Yen) and the ZW58 Xenorex Buster XA (Scheduled for March 27th for 3,500 Yen) are now available on the TakaraTomy Mall! Along with box art and product photos. Buster XA will contain a new color scheme exclusive to this set.

 With the Buster Unit update we also saw the ZW56 CDW Twin Pile Bunker added to the TT mall! Looks like this weapon fits both of the current Senki Zoids, and has a rather nice design. It is scheduled for March 27th, for 1,000 yen.

 Kotobukiya has posted a LABO article detailing the upcoming HMM Fangtiger! Like Wild Liger, they are starting off with some CG renders mostly, but it still gives us a decent look at the Zoid. Fangtiger comes with Wild Blast effect parts for both Bacon and Fangtiger, just like Wild Liger did. The Kotobukiya Direct exclusive bonus is Z-Cap Supreme Yellow Version. The kit is up for pre-order on most of your typical websites. Be advised that on Amazon, it is not able to be cancelled after April 4th! It's scheduled for an August release for 9,000 Yen.

 Official Fan Book 2 has updated with the final 3 chapters! This includes the Zoids Remodeling Project, which features a huge number of custom Zoids, including some that didn't appear in the story itself, but may still be familiar, like Climber Wolf and Spark Liger! It also features a Strength Comparison Chart for a huge number of Zoids that've appeared in the story thus far. We've put this in image format and in text format, for the sake of viewing convenience. And with that, Fan Book 2 is all wrapped up! I'll be moving on to Fan Book 3 very soon, and thank you so much to everyone who has been reading along thus far!

 Chapter 5 of Zoids Wild EX-ZERO has been added, along with scans for HJM's October 2020 issue! This is the second to last chapter, but don't worry, there's plenty more planned. In this chapter, Shishio finally awakens, but his Liger does not. Will they be able to awaken the newly remodeled Armd Liger before it can be destroyed by the enemy sniper's Gun Jaguar?

 The Dengeki Hobby Magazine section has been updated with scans for the October 2004 and June 2006 issues. This includes some Zoids Generations content, BLOX customs, BLOX Geno Saurer and Shield Liger introduction, Mercy Rabbit art, Rebirth Century customs, artwork, and story, as well as the concept art for Brastle Tiger! I know a lot of people have been wanting to see larger scans of this fierce tiger, so check it out in the 2004 issue! I've also replaced the April 2009 scans with new ones. Many of our magazines were scanned on an old scanner that bleached out almost all colors, and I'm slowly working on replacing them with better ones (save for the HMM Geno Breaker scans, because those stark white claws and teeth just can't be saved.)

 A review has been added to the NJR Model Kits section for the Zoids Collection DX "Dragoon Nest" playset! I'm really glad to be able to review this kit, and hope to someday pick up the other playsets. It has a surprising amount of articulation and gimmicks.

 Zoids Official started teasing their next new Zoid! It was apparent from the first picture that this would be Lieutenant Colonel Clive Diaz's personal Wild Liger, as seen in the Zoids Wild Zero anime. This kit has been the first kit announced for the upcoming line, Zoids Wild Biographies! This has really interesting implications. A ton of people have made customs of this specific Liger. The question is, how many kits will we see from this line? Will they all be based on the anime customs? There are so many amazing possibilities. I'll also be looking forward to seeing how it looks out of the box, and how many painted details are included. For now, you can check out the official product photos on the TakaraTomy Mall and a brief video on Twitter that shows off the movements.

 With the exciting announcement of this kit I decided to put together a series of clips showing off some of its features in the show. This video contains spoilers. You have been warned!

 We'd already heard about the ZW54 Xeno Evolution Arms "Scissor Unit", which is now available on the TakaraTomy Mall, and is scheduled for a February 20th release for 1,000 yen. Now, they've announced a second version: The ZW55 Xenorex Scissors XA, which features the unit in swapped colors, installed onto a white Xenorex. This kit is scheduled for release on February 20th, for 3,500 yen.

 Zoids Infinity Coliseum gave us a sneak peak at the color alternate for the upcoming Xeno Evolution Arms "Buster Unit". The Xenorex "Buster XA" will be printed in black, with a slightly off-black tone used for the Xeno Evolution Arms.

 A new video has been posted to show off the ZW53 Ignition Booster. In this video they try it out on different Zoids, and really show off how good it can look with different setups. Especially with all those motorized parts.

 Kotobukiya made a rather exciting announcement this week, the Death Stinger ZS! Also known as the Zarka Spec., this is a new addition to the ever increasing Yuji Kaida lineup. The kit will feature slightly pink-tinted pearl armor, Zenebas red, clear green eye parts, and metallic green rings. The rings are an interesting addition. Some love it, some hate it, but it certainly makes the kit look unique on the shelf. It'll also include clear colorless parts similar to the MPVs, and a brand new set of decals for both the ZS and original. Since the original Death Stinger didn't have decals, this is a nice bonus. It's scheduled to be released in July, for 14,800 yen.

HMM Rereleases!

 We've got a good bunch of kit rerelease announcements! Scheduled for May, we have the Liger Zero Marking Plus Ver. for 6,300 yen and the Molga & Molga Cannory Unit and Molga AA & Molga Carrier for 4,200 (for each set). For July, we have the Cannon Tortoise for 3,200 yen and the Geno Saurer Repackage Ver. for 8,200 yen.

 Zoids Wild Senki Episode 4 has been posted! You can view it below. In this episode we get our first look at the Xeno Evolution Arms! It has a clear size difference from the original little Xenorex.
