Zoids Battle Story has been updated, with the dawn of volume 2! Four sections have been added to start things off, including some character insights and fun story. Hope you like Sabretigers! Or wait. Maybe not. Anyway!

 There are some additional liberties taken with this book because it includes moments throughout where English-translated paragraphs in the book with zero naming consistency love to spoil the upcoming scenes, so some things have been intentionally cut. This is only if I feel that they contribute nothing to the story, and basically paraphrase things that get written alter. So don't worry, you aren't missing any info with these cuts!

 Chapter 4 of Zoids Official Fan Book 5 has been added! This features the Dimetrodon story, which is personally my favorite. This chapter is more or less the same as the OFB EX volume.

 There's now a Zoids Size Comparison Tool linked from the Zoids Index! There's a ton of disclaimers that go along with this (listed at the bottom of the page for it), but basically, this is just a fun tool to get a rough idea of how different Zoids might size up against each other. This is provided purely for the sake of amusement, and for a variety of reasons, some measurements or sizes will be imperfect, or just look off. There's still a lot of Zoids to add to this over time, but for now it includes a bunch of the basics.

 The Chaotic Century anime section has been under some heavy renovations. ALL episodes of Chaotic Century (1 ~ 34) have now had their images replaced with Blu-ray screenshots, and no longer use the old DVD ones. They include updated character lists, notable facts, and page formatting updates. Episodes 35 ~ 40 of Guardian Force have been updated to now include notable facts, updated character lists, and have had more screenshots added in. I didn't completely redo the screencaps for the Guardian Force episodes since they already had BR screenies, so the new screenshots may not be in exact order, but they should include more good reference images now.

 One of the main purposes for this was to be able to revamp the reference pages (Zoids, characters, encyclopedia). The Zoids section is almost all broken links right now, but I'm working on getting things updated. The goal is to start completely wrapping up the individual anime sections and get anime-specific content properly ported over to the Index and Encyclopedia, but it's a lot of work, so please excuse things being broken along the way.

 Another update was posted to the Zoids CC/GF Anime section, Volume 8 of the Japanese DVDs. This includes 50+ pieces of concept art from episodes 35 ~ 39 (the start of Guardian Force), with images provided courtesy of Falcarius!

 The Zoids Deform Figure Strap page over in Assorted has been updated with a few more of the figures! The page now includes Gordos, Iron Kong, Saber Tiger, and Shield Liger. I plan to add scans for their pamphlets later, but for now they're excluded.

 A few new issues have been added to the Dengeki Hobby Magazine section! This includes February 2005 (Gairyuki concept art, Helcat Grappler custom, some old Mercy Rabbit art, etc.), December 2005 (Murasame Liger Shinobi Custom, Zoids Generations, Zoids Genesis customize part concept art (including their potential combination into a kangaroo Zoid), etc.), and November 2006 (Zoids Generations + customs). In addition, the January 2010 issue, which focused around the HMM Buster Tortoise was reuploaded with new scans that are much less bleached out than the old ones.

 We've officially cleared our first hurdle in the Zoids Battle Story journey, with the completion of Book 1! You can now find 3 additional chapters available to read, which covers the Republic's determined march to stop the Imperial invasion at its roots. Battle Story 2 is already well underway, and will be starting shortly.

 The Zoids FOR Manga Chapter 5 has received an update, with new translations courtesy of the incredibly generous Falcarius! This fixed the mistakes made by the previous machine translations, and is just such a wonderful note to end this series on. The FOR Manga is now a completed series, but that game section is certainly due for some updates in the near future~

 There's a flood of new entries added to the Zoids Index! This time around there was a focus on adding some of those peculiar variations that've crept in through magazine customs and the like, with a couple standard Zoids along the way. You might even find a couple Zoids you weren't familiar with!

 New Entries: Bear Fighter, Black Redler, Black Redler (Normal), Black Redler (Royal Guard Spec.), Climber Wolf, Diloforce, Hammer Rock, Moby Dick, Parasauros, Redler BC, Rev Raptor PB, Salamander SS, Sprat.

 The Japanese Volume 7 DVD info has been added to the Zoids Chaotic Century section! As a reminder, DVDSs are hidden on the 'series info' link in each anime's description. Though this volume included only 25 pieces of concept art, it also included a bunch of commercials. Of particular interest is the Geno Breaker commercial, which was remade recently for the Advanced Zi Geno Breaker model kit!

 A new page has been added to the Assorted category for calendars! We didn't just start with any, but are opening this section with a particularly rare calendar featuring poster-sized Zoids New Century Zero anime art. These images are a serious kick in the nostalgia for anyone browsing the web for Zoids in the early 2000s, and I highly recommend checking it out!

 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!

 Two new pages have been added to the Hobby Japan article, one for 1988 and one for 1990. These pages contain some of the Hobby Japan EX volumes that delve into some interesting customs from back in the day, including original artwork!

 The Zoids Index has received a pretty big drop of new profiles, offering a lot of information from Zoids Generations! First and foremost, the index entries for Liger Blue "Souga" and Liger Red "Hiou" have been updated with their full story content now fleshed out. New Index entries have been added for the Hound Soldier KS, Rez Wolf, Rez Tiger, Hebby Rhimos, Bio Raptor, Bio Megaraptor, Bio Tricera, and Iron Kong MKS. These all contain story spoilers, obviously, so be aware if reading!

 The Bio Zoids included at this time were included because I consider Generations to be a fairly large media source, and currently do not have any of their Zoids Genesis content (since I haven't begun to cover Genesis yet.) Generations media mentions have also been added to the Brastle Tiger and Wardick entries.

 The Character Index is following along with the Zoids Generations update! Profiles have been added for Jin, Ken, Masakuni, Midori, and Raetelme. These profiles contain heavy spoilers for Zoids Generations, of course.

 A page has been added for Volume 6 (Japanese version) of the Chaotic Century anime. The DVD info is typically found under the 'Series Information' link. This volume contains 71 unique concept arts for the episodes featured on the disc!

 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.
