Someday I hope we'll get a large batt-op spider whose legs have multiple joints and actually attempt to walk realistically. Of course I don't expect it to actually pull itself along on its feet without being super lightweight, but if it can just pretend while wheels carry it... The Death Stinger walked on 8 legs without cheating. The Zoids Wild kits just don't have particularly good engineering when it comes to their walking movement, I guess because the R&D's going into the Wild Blast modes. Anyway, I just came here to post that Dimepulsar is up for preorder. |

The Death Stinger walked on 8 legs without cheating. Did it really? I thought it rolled. I need to get that sucker out again |

Deathpion walks clear of the ground... my custom of it was even lifted more than another full inch, so a Zoids Wild giant spider could certainly be made.
The Dimepulsar looks pretty good, but I don't know how I would go about restructuring the whole head... it doesn't look remotely like a dimetrodon.

That's what I thought I remembered - there are wheels on it, but it's really not clear why. I just couldn't be bothered trying to find batteries to test mine yesterday, plus like 90% of my b-op Zoids are dead and it depresses me. |

Dimepulsar's head is better than Dimetrodon's in terms of looking like a dimetrodon, but it doesnt have the right body posture at all. needs bigger shoulders and a more robust neck, more like HelDigunner
I worry a lot about my zoids in storage, they haven't been in a climate-controlled place so I fully expect damage on the rubber belts and caps, but I'll be sadder still if the motors have stopped working due to oils drying up or whatever. It's bad enough I lost a few to leaving their batteries in too long

Any news on if the Ankylosaurus is legit? I'm very curious about that one, since the only other examples of the species are Gunbluster (vaguely resembles one) and Boldguard (which is the size of VW Bug).

Yeah, it's legit~ We saw this leak a few pages back, and so far, every single Zoid in these teasers have come to fruition. It has also appeared in the anime, and just recently, the manga. Dimepulsar is being released next month and was just posted about this last week, so I suspect we'll see the Ankylox (scheduled for March) posted on TakaraTomy's twitter around mid February. The Dilophos also appeared in Dimepulsar's box art. |

Thanks! I knew I had seen that pic somewhere, but after doing a search and reading back through the entire thread I couldn't find it!

If you're willing to pay for it, you can pay $30/month for fujitv (forjoytv). Then you catch watch it live in 1080p whenever it airs~ And can go back and watch episodes up to 2 weeks old.
Otherwise you'll be waiting around for youtube or for someone to upload it.

Hey everyone, let's start creating a new thread for every new Zoid that is announced. This thread is going on 58 pages and it's just way too much to try and wade through to find info about new releases. I've asked people to do this before and for some reason it never happens so let's really try to do it this time.  Thanks. |

Thanks.
