Do you have a link to the larger picture? I imagine the lowset body is because it's just not a liger. Not everything has to be. My bet is still on a wolverine type since it'd explain the dentition and the stature.
It could indeed just be something for the magazine, but next issue magazine stuff is rarely, if ever at all advertised on hobby sites.

Countdown to "Z"I don't know if this is actually related. It might not be. However, it was just posted on the TakaraTomy website. Not sure it's related though since the time is only half a month after this current issue of Corocoro, I think?

Last year's "Field of Rebellion" promotional material and hype has given me some severe PTSD.
I was half expecting to see the words "mobile game"

I think that is a very, very warranted fear. Thankfully, with Field of Rebellion still running, we can at least cross mobile games off the list. I suppose the next worse thing is for the countdown to be entirely unrelated, or for it all to build up to a simple magazine spot? I'm holding out hope that it's more than that, though. Especially if it's getting a hold on TTs front page.

Nawww but I LOVE Zoids Field of rebellion. It's one of the Greatest things to happen to the zoids Fandom. + I'm pretty sure it's winning new zoid fans whom were too young for the anime. I like to think maybe they were testing the waters with the game and given it's popularity have continued to do something else with the zoids franchise by introducing this new whatever it is. There are rumours it could be a new series, That would be best case scenario but as like last time best not get everyone's hopes up too much.
Me however am very very very excited about this and am convinced it's zoids related.
Just saw post on Takara Tomy's twitter page, People were thinking it could be a "乙" (otsu) Kanji symbol so Takara Tomy made a specific post stressing it is not this Kanji Symbol but indeed a "Z".

I'm curious and slightly concerned about the last pic Maethius posted, considering that it looks like a lump of crumpled-up foil possibly pretending to be a head, but we'll see.

Hopefully if it is another line it doesn’t fail like the last few

OK so I put a picture onto the hello talk app to ask for some help from Japanese, mind you it's 5am (3am Japan time) and literally within a minute two people gave me all the correct kanji for it. Such very very helpful people.
獲物を狙うするどい眼、黄金に光る牙、すベてを切リ裂くツメ、そして...野生の王者たる"風格"!! メカか野獣か? 次号、ヤバイ相棒がキミの日常にやってくる
Translating to something along the lines of:
A sharp eye aiming at prey, a golden glowing fang, a hook that clears all its bones, and ... a wild king 's style "style"! Mechanical beast? Next issue, Yabai (extreme,awesome) partner comes to your everyday life.
The countdown picture uptop Says "True instinct awakens". Bottom Just says Takara Tomy Official site
And the bottom picture from what I can read seems to be about Beyblade. That had better not be the Z on the countdown!! Though that beyblade Z has a strike through it

The bottom pic could easily be a Beyblade. Perhaps a Zoid/Beyblade crossover product?

Thanks for the complete text! Hook should be claw (Tsume), but otherwise I imagine it's not far off at all~
The bottom pic is beyblade, not zoids. It says beyblade on the page, with a new announcement coming next issue, and some keyword (no idea what the kanji is supposed to be.) This may sadly mean the countdown isn't related to Zoids at all, as feared, and could be a new series of Beyblade with the starting letter Z. Of course, the countdown was posted with no indication of what series it was about in the first place. Takaratomy does also handle Beyblade products, so. At least for now it has no baring on the actual teaser image, far as we know.

Aha. Well, I still think it looks like crumpled-up foil, but at least it's not trying to be a zoid. A Zoids-Beyblade crossover would be... peculiar, to say the least. Considering the timings (thirteen days vs. next month) I think Han is right to suspect the countdown may be for something else, but hopefully whatever comes next month will still be cool.

Just to be clear, both the Beyblade teaser and the Zoids teaser are advertising for 'next issue.' So there's a small chance it could still be Zoids, I just think Beyblade is probably more likely.
