This is probably the first time in years Zoids have been mentioned on a mainstream media outlet of any kind. The actual images you see went viral on reddit, facebook, and other forms of social media a couple of weeks ago. It has gotten a LOT of people reminiscing about Zoids. "Pokémon Look Really Cool As Giant Mechs"Here is Saber Tiger, as Raikuo.  Fun fact: The last time Zoids were mentioned on Kotaku was during the announcement for the new Super Robot Wars Game, as well as back in 2011, when they covered the RC Molga. |

That's an HMM Zaber Fang~ It's awesome to see fan artists getting attention, but also a shame that these have been ripped, stolen, and outright spammed to the extreme on all said social media. I hope the artist gets a lot of recognition in spite of this, with how huge they have become, because their rights as an artist have certainly been disregarded by dozens of people. The artwork is definitely top notch with wonderful proportions and concepts and I'm glad to see that the article linked here is actually courteous enough to properly source the work. I look forward to seeing more and hope that they take this as a vast encouragement.
(Though this isn't franchise news of any kind? May be better suited for general.)

I assumed it was Soul Tiger, because of the backpack and head design. Those legs and chest are definitely Saber Tiger though.

I used to think about drawing stuff like that! Buuut I doubted myself. This is better than I could have done anyway!

Yellow parts are Saber, chest and some of the head are LZ, tail is a cool design change (though less flexy). It has a gat feed belt but no visible weapon to use the feature (I know that some weapons just use the "tank tracks" as massive power cables, but meh).
Pretty cool.

It's based entirely on the HMM Zaber from what I can tell, the face nor the chest are from Liger Zero. The black part of the head is all Raikou unless you count the slightly modified angle of the nose. So far as I can tell none of the Zoids are mixed with other Zoids. |

Everything is of a saber tiger except for tail, the cockpit head piece is a lightning saix, the side pieces on the head I don't know, but there's also a entei and sucine drawing too by the same guy

Was very hesitant to click that link...I sometimes forget that pixiv actually has SFW art... The new designs are amazing. This artist is fantastic. |
