This is Death Saurer is my entry in the ZP contest this year. It is an abandoned Death Saurer that was discovered in a hidden Guylos storehouse in the Stratford Republic. The Stratford Republic is located on Stratford Island, which is located between the Western and Eastern Continents. It is currently involved in one cold war with the Neo-Zenebas Empire and another with the Duchy of Avon, an ally of the Helic Republic. President Stephano Craven and Prime Minister Cordelia Formos are the leaders of Stratford. To deter annexation by the Empire and a war with the Republic, they form a deception to make both believe that they possess the material and knowledge to produce dark zoids. The deception backfires and the Empire and the Republic together with the Duchy all invade. The Sham Dark Death Saurer is never used for battle, Craven becomes insane and overthrows Formosa before dying when the capital's triumphal arch collapses on his death saurer. The Stratford Republic is devastated and collapses, and the island is abandoned after the Neo-Zenebas Empire find that it possesses no valuable resources.

I've altered it to include the CP-02, CP-07, CP-11, Styluarmor joints in the shoulders and hips, and bionicle joints in the neck and jaw. The CP-07 it attached to an Unenlagia block in the right should. Additional weapons from two Demantis and one Red Horn are also included. It was fun. I'v also formed a story around the three sided conflict that involves most of my zoids.

I really loved the back story to this one, and, some day, I would love to make my own Dark Deathsaurer custom! Ah, to have money and time again.....

Great job on this one, sir!

Thank you. I had the money last year, but I didn't have the time until this year. Now I have time but no money.

I have altered the backstory to fit in the anime between Guardian Force and New Century Zero. The Neo-Zenebas Empire is replaced by the Zenebas Empire, which was formed after Prozen's grandchildren overthrew the Guylos Empire start a cold war between them, the Guardian Force, and the allies of the Guardian Force, including the Helic Republic, Duchy of Avon, and Zoid Battle Commission.

Also, I have included dark zoids by explaining that the Dark Horns featured in the anime are only recolored Red Horns as an homage to myths of the ancient zoidians and the dark zoids they used. The ability to produce them was lost with the devastation caused by the destruction of one of the moons, caused by the Death Saurer within this canon.

You're right on the DH front; the real DH's were super-powered and killed the world around them just by existing. They were also shielded with Dark Armor, which was virtually indestructible. By contrast these would have to be repaints.
