Chapters 5 and 6 of Official Fan Book 5 are now available! This marks a major shift from the old Fan Book EX. From here, the story starts a rewrite of its conclusion. Not only will you notice some key differences in how the battles in general play out, but you'll also see a fair amount of new personalized scenes for Battle Story characters, which was a fun change!

 We've got some new index entries, including more obscure variants. New entries include battle-story specific variants Canory Molga and Gun Sniper W2, Gunz Raser from Zoids Generations, and magazine Zoids/variants Jagd Wolf, Octoloud, and Wolf Death Spark.

 There's also a few new pages for obscure Zoids characters that've already been covered in media around the site, including Veauregard from Zoids Generations, Bobby Maxwell and Emu Rinon from Zi Report, and Barrett Gutter from the Zoids Battle Card Game / Note Map.

 Chapters 7 and 8 have been added to the Zoids Battle Story! Witness some of the earliest conflicts between our two earliest cat rivals, the Saber Tiger and the Shield Liger, and follow the ever-evolving story of a new threat from the Empire!

 The HMM section has been updated with the story and fuselage explanations for the Pteras Bomber, Red Horn, and Saber Tiger. The fuselage explanation has been added for the Gun Sniper Leena Special. The Pteras Bomber page also now has the freely-distributed wallpaper from the old Kotobukiya blog, which they distributed to give fans a backdrop to use for photographing their flying Zoids~

 The next couple chapters of the Zoids Battle Story have been added! With just three chapters left to go in this book, this section focuses on the Republic's massive Ultrasaurus, and the Empire's determination to overthrow the giant mech.

 Hey, who here remembers the Geno Maxi? That's right, get a small taste of extra Eisen Dragoon lore and learn about some of your favorite early 2000s concept rexes in the most recent Smack Zoids update! For this section I opted to include some of the model stuff because it provided a couple details I found interesting. I'm not sure yet if this'll be included for other updates or not, as it's usually just customization notes like this one.

 The first volume of the OJR Zoids Graphics (under Books) has been added! With this volume, I've elected to switch from the reader format to an in-page format like our other books. Originally I'd started with translated images. As novel as this idea is, the Graphics are going to continue to add in story content and materials that I'd like to be able to reference directly without having to include the entire page (such as location images, character images, etc.)

 We already provide the pamphlets in both English and Japanese as a courtesy because of how rare-expensive it is to collect them all, but having to provide it in three different formats is a bit much, especially when one of those formats dramatically increases the work time required to make an update happen. That aside, this volume delves into the beginnings of Zoids Lore, with lots of interesting art, so take a look!

 The Zoids Wild model kit section has been updated to include the last of the standard release model kits, covering Senki. Pages have also been added for almost all limited editions, giving basic details of how they were distributed, what events they related to, etc. There's still a few limiteds I need to dig up.
