The new Liger-type Zoid thats been teased lately is finally up on the TakaraTomy Mall. Welcome the
Burning Liger, scheduled to release October 24th for 2,500 Yen! This brand new kit marks a change in the design scheme of Zoids Wild Zoids. Not only does it include a cockpit, but it also introduces a new gimmick: The Core Drive System. This weapon type draws power directly from the core, and in the model kit's case, will mean a fully motorized weapon set.
These weapons can be mixed and matched, and will function on any other Zoid that includes the CDS design scheme. The ZW45 Burning Liger will not come with the Impact Gatling, which will instead be sold separately or in a set.
Burning Liger was also shown off in
CoroCoro Comic, where additional Core Drive weapons were previewed (not shown on the online article). The whole kit, including box and instructions, was shown off on TakaraTomy's "3 Big Boys Toys Special Program" stream!
Takara Tomy also posted some fresh out of the box photos of the kit.

A medium-sized Zoid, and the first lion species of the Imperial Army. It was developed to compete with the Republic's new Zoids. It has a lightly armored frame, large claws, and is equipped with several small weapons. It's also equipped with the Z-O Visor, which allows the pilot to draw out the power of the Zoid at their own timing, and its strong limbs allows it to fight nimbly in combat. The Blow Claw has been significantly modified to give it a stronger impact against enemy Zoids. The Core Drive System (CDS) was developed to convert the energy of the core to use as a power source for the weapons, making the Burning Liger the first Zoid to use the CDS in the Imperial Army. It's possible to equip Core Drive Weapons (CDW), which are compatible with the CDS using the rail on the back.
