Its been a while since we posted, and there is
so much content to cover, that we'll have very little site updates for now! Sorry about that. I do hope to cover most of what has happened in the Zoids franchise over the last 2-3 months, though. Buckle up, this is gonna be a long update!
November Model Kit Summaries
November saw the release of 3 new Zoids. The Stegosage, Gusok, and Awakened Wild Liger.
Gusock: The Gusock is a small windup Zoid, and skitters along at a decent pace, as seen in
this video. It can also be curled into a ball and rolled across the table, seen
here and
here.
This Tweet by Zoids Official shows off how the Gusock can equip the blades of the Stegosage, which is possibly the best looking parts swap we've seen from this series.
Awakened Wild Liger: Zoids Official showed off how nice the Awakened Wild Liger can look with some
simple panel lining. This kit also came with a special booklet, the
Zoids Wild World Guide! Which seems to include profiles, comics, etc. SakuraIbuki over on twitter posted a
speed comparison showing off the difference that the 1.2x motor makes. The basic walking and Wild Blast were shown off by
Zoids Official.
Stegosage: The third and most notable Zoid from November was the Stegosage. You can see a size comparison between this large Zoid, and the medium and small kits of the month
here. You can also see its walking animations and wild blast
here. It's a great looking kit!
- December Model Kit Summaries
December saw the release of the Death Rex on the 8th, and at the end of the month, both Hunter Wolf and Catalga! Although Death Rex was heavily covered leading up to its release, TT still posted an image of
feeding time.
Hunter Wolf: The second new Zoid was the
Hunter Wolf. While this uses the Wild Liger base, it takes quite a few liberties to create a newly designed wolf-type Zoid, including longer legs. Something that inadvertantly makes it appear much larger than the Liger. You can view its basic walk cycle
here and its Wild Blast walk cycle
here. The Hunter Wolf has two Wild Blast modes. One with the equipment facing backwards, to act as a Sonic Booster, and one with it facing forward to be used as an actual weapon. Finally, an introductory video was posted
here.
Catalga: The third kit is the
Catalga! This Molga redesign has been significantly sized up to become Zoid Wild's primary transport Zoid. The kit comes with a trailer and even some rubber 'ropes' to
tie down the cargo.
