HISTORY
The repercussions of the performance of Zenevas’ flagship Zoid, Fusillade, had rocked both the Kingdom and the Dynasty, and the emergence of new platforms such as the Eradicator shook all the nations of Zi to their foundations. The world was changing quickly, and each nation who was to survive needed to develop its own units that could stand against the threats of new threats. The king of Helic met in secret with the empress of Guylos to discuss the matter of survival, and of the co-development of the technology required to halt the Empire’s advance. Each nation developed a new flagship Zoids of its own. Each was built to stand in battle with a Fusillade fighting force, but together they could unleash a terrifying destructive power designed to stop any opposition. Guylos’ answer was the deadly DBOZ-017-X Gil Kaiserin; its Helic counterpart is the terrifying RBOZ-024-X Supreme King Gojulas.

Supreme King Gojulas

[Leon35]

This is the secret project you have been working on all this time?!

The "MKII" style colors are some of my favoites and I wish I had a whole Zoid army in that scheme with this bad boy leading the charge

Everything about the design is innovative and extrodinary.

Whomever you made this for is going to be one happy customer.

[Enbahan]

It's incredible! Well done! I've been wondering what this monster was gunna look like when you posted that motor shot ages back. As always I love the in depth build section.

[CISsuperdroid]

Really love the colors- very Gil Dragon-esque. As usual, this is another amazing work if yours, and I was excited for it ever since I read the hints in the Gil Kaiserin's description! The proportions are great; much more western Godzilla-esque than the rather bottom-heavy King Gojulas, and the articulation looks fantastic! I could never adequately criticize a custom, but I thought Helic was a republic, and therefore had no king? Or am I wrong because of some development in the battle story or your (Maethius's) own Age of War?

[Maethius]

Thanks for the praise, folks! Building this monster was an ordeal... Gil Kaiserin didn't possess nearly the challenge that SKG did. I think Eradicator and Fusillade are the closest in difficulty.

-CISsuperdroid
Yes, the portion about the king is a part of my Age of War storyline. Yes, we were looking for a less bottom-heavy custom; ironically. The only thing I wish I could have done was add actual knee joints, but the sheer weight of the custom and my time limitation made me nix that feature. Maybe next time!

[CISsuperdroid]

Is it too intrusive to ask the price range your client may have suffered for this? Lol!

[Vig]

Absolutely incredible! The amount of work too. Oh my god, Just beautiful, I felt speechless reading through the pages. It's like a Gojulas who has become military special forces fit.

And it so huge I couldn't believe it! it's towering over the Deathsaurer. I had to laugh at the Lidier snack, just holding it in one hand like it's nothing. And the bat wing material feet, I have a few zoids who could do with some of that!

[Gojulas Omega]

Oh wow! This is amazing!!

All the details, all the lights and all the joints....I can't imagine how long to take me if I going to customize something like this....

The color scheme look very nice too, also remind me the Great Z-knights too.

[RaVeMaSter_VaN]

Nice, haven seen a new custom from you for quite a while. This looks like straight out of a assembly kit. HMM kit?

[aceoftherebellion]

Maybe I'm just overlooking it, or maybe I'm just lazy but I'm having a hard time finding the link to your project page for this one. That aside, what I can see here in this thread is fantastic! Gojulas types will always be some of my favorites, so this is just pure awesome to me. I always love trying to squint to see what parts were "borrowed" from other zoids, lol

Solid work, as always!

[Snowflake]

I'm speechless... One of my favorite zoids in my favorite colors
handheld weapons. blue LEDs. and it's posable? those hands. those cables.
I love the way that you did something kind of necessary for rejointing a zoid and lengthened it, but in a way that actually improves it instead of leaving huge gaps. Not sure why the official stat has the length so much higher but ... this is just.. I can't even

[Maethius]

Vig-
Thank you so much! Seeing it dwarfing the Deathsaurer made me shiver a bit... looks like a DS custom has to be in my future, eh?


Gojulas Omega-
Thank you for the kind words! A good portion of my time with this build was spent looking at parts and thinking, "how the heck am I going to do something with THAT?!"


RaVeMaSter_VaN-
It's been a while in the building, that's for sure! It's actually not an HMM... this is built from a stock re-released King Gojulas and Gojulas Giga, primarily.

Thanks, Ace! I've wanted to do a KG for a long, long time. I just couldn't bring myself to acquire and cut one up!

I've noticed the links don't show up very well in the threads... it is the last printed line under the pics. But let me make a link here for you:

LINKY!


Snowflake-
I only took the one shot of it holding the swords, but should have done more! I thought of making a pair of rifles for it, as well. I did have it balanced on one foot briefly, but I didn't trust the weight load on the hip and ankle, so I decided to set the raised foot atop a Missile Tortoise instead.

[aceoftherebellion]

Ah, there you go! Yeah, I don't blame you one bit there, even if the Rebirth Century line made it a lot less rare. Looks amazing though, it's awesome that you were able to obtain one to chop up.

[xiled878]

Seriously... How are you even human. This is beyond my vocabulary for praises. You are definitely a zoids god in human form..

[Maethius]

Thanks, xiled878! My temple looks kinda like a rubbish heap right now! Well, until it's time to start my next custom... right about... NOW!
