The Zoids Wild Zero anime section has been updated with content from Episodes 11 ~ 15, introducing both the completed Genospino and the best smiling cat out there. This update includes Zoid Profiles, Character Profiles, and the start of the ZW0-specific Encyclopedia. To keep things a bit more consistent with pilot variations, they have been moved to their own page if they continue to be upgraded. This only applies to a couple Zoids such as the Raptoria Jo Aysel Spec. but will hopefully keep following their upgrades more manageable.

New Zoid Profiles: Drei Panther, Genospino

Updated Zoid Profiles: Bazootle, Beast Liger, Catalga, Gilraptor, Proto Beast Liger, Raptoria, Triceradogos

 Medabots S, a mobile game for the Medabots series, is collaborating with Takara Tomy to bring two Zoids Wild Zero inspired medabot skins to the game, Beast Liger, Genospino, Rising Liger, Fangtiger (themed after the Aldridge version), Fire Genospino, and Sniptera. The collab also includes character artwork of Medabots characters wearing Zoids Wild ZERO inspired outfits.

 In a rather unexpected turn of events, korean gaming company ACT Games will be launching an NFT-based Zoids Wild project. Western fans are quite adverse to anything block chain adjascent, and with the game relying heavily on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, obviously, reviews have been less than positive. For now, we'll just cover what we know about the game itself.

 Twitter account ZoidsWild (Wait, this name was never claimed before now?) serves as the game's official account, and they have a gorgeous promo video as their top post. This is the same style of video used for the Zoids Wild Infinity Blast opening, and it's well worth a watch, even if you're not into the game concept.

 Fans were apprehensive about the game's website in its earlier iteration, which featured mostly reused assets, such as loading screens from Infinity Blast falsely rebranded as "Concept Art" (it is not concept art for this game at all) as well as reused models and assets from the switch games. This shady opening didn't do the developers any favors, but it seems things are now moving along in full swing. The site also featured profiles for some of the associated cards, with animated Zoid images and basic stats. The nice part about this is that, while it's still reused data (mostly the existing profiles), it's nice to see them in English.

 The game was shown off at Licensing Japan, a large game licensing event, where various promotions were exhibited. The Teaser Clip confirmed that further asset reuse extended to the variations from Battle Card Hunter, such as the Spideath Dusk. While this is also somewhat controversial, it'll be interesting to see some of those BCH variants without lighting effects obscuring their true colors.

 Since then, the Twitter account has been introducing various Zoids that'll star in the game, including Rising Liger, Blade Liger, Beast Liger, and Wild Liger, with an additional concept video of the Wild Liger.

 Summaries have been added for Episode 7 through 10 of Zoids Wild ZERO! This includes a ton of screencaps, automatic translations of the text in the Zoid profiles at the end, notable facts from the episodes, and best-guess translations of screen glyphs that appeared during them.

 In addition, the Zoids section for this series has been expanded. The icon gallery now properly links to the Zoids' profile pages, which covers their website profiles (where applicable), all variations, weapons info, history within the anime series, and screenshot examples for almost everything up until Episode 10. Organizing the many variations can be a little tricky, so my apologies if the pages are cluttered!

 So, due to my undying love of modern VFX, I've gone ahead and started detailing episodes for Zoids Wild ZERO! The ZERO anime section now includes summaries for the first 6 episodes, including screencaps, character and Zoid lists, notable facts, translations of the Zoids Profile text at the end of the episodes (translations of the spoken profile overview coming soon), and translations of some of the glyphs that appear in each episode! A huge thanks to the Zoids Discord Community, which helped piece together the glyph alphabet used in the show, and Falcarius, who already did a lot of the ground work for translating the earlier episode glyphs!

 So, since it has been so long since we've posted news, we have some catching up to do here. Most of these Biographies kits are no longer on sale, but I'll be covering the details nonetheless.

 While we've already shown the announcements for the Clive Dias liger, some interesting updates have been posted since then. First is an image of the box which shows that they'll have brown cardboard boxes with black printed details. This is also the first time we'll be seeing more solid English spellings for some of the Wild ZERO characters. Another post from Zoids Official shows what looks to be an out-of-the-box photo set. The kit and all of its painted details really do look great! Last but not least, you can now view the official product page and TT Mall page. Its pre-order period is already over, but it was sold for 4,500 yen (+ tax) and is scheduled to release in July.

 Our second reveal for Biographies was the Fangtiger Douglas Aldridge Version! This kit held its pre-order period during April, and is scheduled to release in September for 4,500 Yen. Zoids Official posted the following Teasers for it: Teaser 1, Teaser 2, Teaser 3, and Teaser 4.

 This kit includes newly molded features, including the option to have the Z-O Visor or not, and has additional equipment in the form of the A-Z Rocket Launcher, All-Weather High-Powered Boosters, and A-Z Laser Guns. New attachment parts have been added to the Panthera Armor on its back to allow the weapons to be attached, and the Twinned Fangs on the back are painted with metallic red. You can view its official product page here and its TT Mall page here.

 The next kit announced was Proto Beast Liger! This little Liger from the beginning of Wild ZERO is immensely popular. There've been a huge number of customs people have made for it, and it's no surprise that it received so many added posts. Both the official product page and TT Mall page are already up. The kit had its pre-order period in May, and is scheduled to release in October for 4,500 Yen. With this particular kit, Zoids Official also posted a Video teaser! Here are the initial images: Teaser 1, Teaser 2, Teaser 3, and Teaser 4.

 Let's get to the many twitter posts. This post shows a close-up of the boosters attacked to its back, using new joint parts. In the show, Leo used these to try to jump Aegis Valley. The kit includes all of the parts necessary to make a full Beast Liger, armor complete, in the Proto colors! Either with boosters, or without. You can see a comparison between Proto and normal Beast Liger here. It's the first kit in the Wild series to feature painted cylinders. The armor around the jaw has been customized to mirror how it looked in the anime. This is a nice touch, since they could've just left it an open gap where the armor attaches. The final molded parts difference is the leg armor which removes all of the white fins from the normal kit.

 The fourth, and currently-available pre-order for Zoids Wild Biographies is the Hunter Wolf Victor Spiegel Version! My personal favorite, this kit is once again based on the pilot version from Zoids Wild ZERO. You can view its official product page here and its TT Mall page here. The kit is scheduled to release in November for 5,390 Yen (Tax Included).

 Like Aldridge's Fangtiger, this kit includes the option to have the Z-O Visor or not. It's equipped with the A-Z Super Electromagnetic Blade, All-Weather High-Powered Boosters, and the Sniptera's Force Barrel Gatlings. New molded attachment points have been added to its back to accomodate the additional weapons. The A-Z Super Electromagnetic Blades are painted in red metallics. It includes the head parts to make the original Hunter Wolf (without the ZO Visor).
 * Spelling is still out on this one. The video uses Spieger, but the Fangtiger video also uses both Aldridge and Aldrich, so we'll wait to see what spelling the box uses.

- Introduction Video

 The Zoids Wild Zero section has been updated with concept arts posted in various areas over the last few months. Newly added images are marked by a green border around the image, so you can tell at a glance if it's something new or old.

 The ZWZ anime twitter posted concepts for the Imperial Army Immigration Ship, which includes the full ship view, the gardens, the city, etc. There's so much detail that went into this thing!

 Zoids Wild Zero has posted some more concepts, including an Electra Comparison, the jungle and Zero Grizis' Giant Cocoon, Joshua Conrad's Metallized State, and Dr. Land's New State.

- Anime Website Update!

 The official anime website has also updated to include many more characters as well as many more Zoids. It also gives names to some of the Zoids that previously didn't have unique names, like the Fang Tiger Aldridge Spec.

- Zoids Wild Zero Ending Video!

 The ending them for Zoids Wild Zero has been posted to youtube, in the form of a short-size video.

 We only have a few of these this week. First is a concept art for Kai's Z-Arm from Zoids Wild 2 (along with some teaser pages), posted over on Moritya's Twitter. Then a beautiful high-quality Gilraptor render, and finally concept art of Joshua Conrad's notebook.

 We have some new Zoids Wild Zero Concepts! There's Joshua Conrad, Volkoff, Dennis Nielson, the Republican / Imperial Winter Clothes, and Dennis Nielson (Straitjacket). There's also a short version of the new ending posted to Youtube.

 Starting this Friday, Zoids Wild Zero's Episode 38 will be aired with a new ending theme! Nameless Journey, by Hazuki Senda, the voice actor who plays Sally Land. It's always exciting to see new openings and endings, so let's look forward to it!

 Recently we saw a tweet with concept art of Electra Gate, a rebel mentioned in Zoids Wild Zero, which confirmed some plot details that were being discussed. We also got concept art for the Flying Continent in Episode 36. Just today, we got to see a cool look into the development of the Blue Blood Corps logo from Zoids Wild EX-ZERO on Revolver's Blog.

 We also have a couple of concepts from Zoids Wild Zero this week. The True Empire Base seen in episode 35, and Part 2 of the B-Resistant Suit, which shows off the safety / parachute gear.

 Speaking of rare things, Mizuho Takayama, a manga artist and animation concept artist recently posted a twitter thread showing off some of the work he did for Zoids Genesis. Mainly, the early concepts of the Bamburian, including the rough concepts for its original pilot. This matches a slide of Zoids Genesis concepts we saw very early into its development, with quite a few other slides in this style. It's amazing to see concepts like this surfacing so many years after the project. It's a whole new look at these Zoids.

 We also have a couple of concepts from Zoids Wild Zero! A concept showing the B-Suit doubling as a parachute, and Leo's Father's Notebook.

 Zoids Wild Zero has been added to the anime section. Most of these pages are placeholders for now. Although I don't plan to flesh out most of the pages until the Blu-rays come out (to avoid having to take all the images twice), the character and Zoid pages consist of the official website profiles for now. There's also an episode list (translated by Falcarius!) and a concept art page, which gathers all of the concept art from various media sources into a single location!

 After May 29th, which will likely be a clip show, Zoids Wild Zero will be going on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. This is following many recent delays as a result of the pandemic. Hopefully the series will be back before too long, and in the mean time, we wish everyone at the studio well!

Zoids Wild Zero Concepts

 Even so, there's plenty of concept art for us to take a look at! So let's get started. We have... Christa (Sally's Mother), Hannah Melville (age 5, 14, and Adult - B-Suit), Hannah Melville (Age 14) and Fiona's Everyday Wear, Frank Land (Rejuvinated) and Expressions, Omega Rex's Generator Part, Spiegel, Republic Pilot Helmet, Empire Pilot Helmet, and some assorted Republic and Empire scientists.
