Another review for the D-Style Blade Liger Limited Red version has been added. This is the chrome kit. There are a lot of quality control issues but it's still a really nice color and a cute little figure.

    Today is a day of Blade Liger reviews. We've added a review for the Blade Liger BE from the Zoids Fuzors line. Both the Fuzors and the Academy version of this release are exactly the same. I'll try to get box scans later but at the time they don't have them.

    Zoids SS Chapter 8 has been added to the manga directory. This means that we've finally caught up, and that the Command Wolf RGC story has been concluded. The issue being released next month will begin the start of the Storm Sworder FSV manga, which if it continues as scheduled, will conclude shortly after the release of the model kit.

    A review for the HMM Great Sabre has been added. This is regarding the December 2013 reissue, and includes box scans, instructions, and a translated list of weapons. It includes a review for the customize parts that were relevant to it as well. We noticed that the Gold Saber Tiger was also missing the tail equipment in the weapons list. This has been fixed.

    While we're speaking about manga, I could have sworn that we posted the final pages of Zoids Chaotic Century EX ages ago. They had been uploaded, at least, but when I went to look at the page they were missing. So, the end of Chapter 7 is now posted on the page! We apologize for however long these were missing.

    A new chapter of Zoids SS has been added! In the next week or so we'll be fully caught up until the next issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine is released. This time, the Geno Ritter is finally facing the Command Wolf RGC, as well as Kai and his Mirage Fox! What has happened to Tys, and her Mirage Fox, we wonder? Translations courtesy of Emeryl!

    It's new years! Of course, everyone knows what by now. It has been a fantastic year for Zoids between the HMM kits, MSS, Original, and even some extras such as the Shield Liger girl. We are guaranteed to see all three lines continue forward into the new year, which is a wonderful sign for Zoids.

    Although this site was created three years ago it was actually almost completely unused for those two first years, making this the first year full of actual updates for The Iron Bible! I never expected to get much traffic and it has been pleasantly surprising to have so many people that stop by, and even a few that write into the site with inquiries and compliments. Thanks to everyone who visits! It certainly makes this site worth the while. We hope that everyone has a great new year full of fun and Zoids!

    The Iron Bible is alone in the Zoids fan world and we thought a great way to start the new year would be to link some of those other wonderful fan sites. We've added quite a few sites that can be recognized for the 'new' icon in the fan sites section. Most of them are even continuously updating sites!

    We mentioned earlier that Zoids SS would be going on hiatus until the new year. We didn't expect to start off right away, but we have! A new chapter (Chapter 6) of the Zoids SS comic can be found in the manga directory. Translations are courtesy of Falcarius! There are two more chapters to catch up on but we'll have both of those done by the end of January.

    Also in the Manga Directory we have begun work on the final Extra from Ueyama's Chaotic Century mangas. This is a crossover between Zoids Chaotic Century and Genesis, and has some compelling conversation between characters barring ethics that've never been recognized by official Zoids mangas before. Translations courtesy of Emeryl!

    Scans for both Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Hobby Japan magazine have been uploaded! Both are geared towards Gojulas, with some amazing customs in Hobby Japan especially.

    Kotobukiya will be re-releasing the Gun Sniper Leena Special in February. We've added a pre-order link to the list below.

    We've continued work on getting the Chaotic Century and Guardian Force files converted to Blu-Ray media. Five new episode summaries have been added, episodes 50 through 54. This includes deleted scenes (with the exception of Episode 50 which has none) and blu-ray quality screencaps for all of the episodes. As before, they are sized down from the full size.

    If you want to skip directly to deleted scenes they are all cross posted to the Chaotic Century/Guardian Force Media Box.

    The Zoids Original website has updated with the second half of Story 7 and with Story 8. You can see the japanese pages for these here and here

    The main Zoids Official Website has updated with a new video (Zoids World) seen here. They also added three new profiles for the Zoids in the Concept Art Books, seen here. Last but not least they've added a page for previous header images that they've used. You can see that page here!

    Kotobukiya has posted images of the limited Berserk Furher Holo Tech on their blog! This is an extremely limited item that is being given away (raffled?) in extremely limited numbers to those who order from the Kotobukiya Direct store by the end of the year. Kotobukiya is raffling a ton of items, but this is the only one relevant to Zoids. It is part of the Kotobukiya Direct Renewel Campaign to celebrate the new year.

    I normally wouldn't do updates for unofficial things, but I feel like this warrants it! Anomarokarintou published their in-progress Zoids GF/NC0 Crossover film on December 24th. It is a 28 minute long feature that includes a battle of the Blitz Team Vs. the Guardian Force team, and has some amazing effort and contributions. Many people collaborated on supplying Zoids for the opening sequence, and overall this is a very cool work of fan art. No doubt an incredible effort was needed for this.

    You can view it here! Or just view below-

    Make sure that you have closed captioning on for English subtitles. Otherwise you will only see the Japanese subtitles that are embedded into the video.

    For further viewing the artist has submitted a lot of their eye catch images to their blog, found here. They've also submitted photo galleries of the Zoid rigs used in the video to their Pixiv here, but pixiv does require an account for viewing.

    Soon after this video was published, Ueyama who provided concept references for its creation published some new Zoids artwork on their twitter. This is as close to concept references as we'll ever have for these unique, manga-specific Zoids! Check out their twitter here for more.

    The January 2014 issues have been updated for both Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Hobby Japan Magazine. You can find updated scans in the articles section!

    Zoids Original Story has been updated with Chapter 7 featuring the Command Wolf RGC. Translations courtesy of Falcarius! Starting sometime in January we'll be starting to work on updating SS again, and appreciate everyone's patience!

    A new Manga Directory has been added today! It includes the UK Comic "Zoids" by Marvel, which we've added Volume 1 of. The first couple volumes are in a story-book format, so to avoid the unnecessary data usage we've added the text as ... well, text- to the page, and only scanned the pictures. Don't worry though, the original text is riddled with typos anyway.
