Hi there, long time Zoids fan (since day 1), Always read the forum, but never joined. So decided to join in  I was wondering what you think about this:
As of now most Zoids in the HMM line have been released at some time when they were in the background. So I was hoping and or thought that if what I believe is true, that all the background Zoids are previews for the new ones somewhere in the future. (like Gojulas in the back on the Iguan and so forth, and that was actually number 40. BF Sturm on BL AB renewal (and it did indeed come out), little Storm Sworders in the back on BL Bang etc etc
The ones that are currently not released yet but are visible are:
Elephander on BL Mirage (oh come one Koto do it..) HammerRock lurking in the back on the Molga 008 Rev Raptor on the Blade Liger 003 (did not like the April fools thing, just like the D-style Gil or Bloody DS, as I think April fools is stupid and childish, teasing people with something that won't come out.., because if it did people would def buy it.. Hellcat on Empire CW (and again on Shadow Fox) Battlerover on CW AC (not likely though) Dead Border on Dark Horn Death Saurer!!! aah...! on Iron Kong PK Redler on Storm Sworder Too late I guess, but yellow Saber on LZ
What do you think about this? I mean for the rest of the line it was all true so far. So here's hoping my theory has any merit..

Thanks empirewolf13, yeah I noticed it quite some years ago and the line is doing that so far (Dibison in the back on 018 Gun Sniper Naomi, came out as 036 Pteras on Molga 012, came out as 025, even a Gojulas fossil on the BL AB Bang etc etc)

I hope Kotobukiya does some Blox/Z-Builders Zoids.

While not exactly news, it is a fun theory, but a little unrealistic. Adding background Zoids is a great way to liven up a scene, and it's not a commitment or a tease in most cases, I don't think. Almost all of these examples are simple, rough versions of the Zoids and not the HMM ones that came out later. Relevant to the Zoid that's being featured, which is... probably why they were added (though that's not a Sturm in the Leon Version, it's Naomi's Red Gun Sniper.) The Gojulas ruin, for example, is an iconic scene featured again and again and again in battle story/CC/GF related media. I think it's just the go to backdrop here. I think the Iguan is a different case. The Gojulas was not only a major player for the current line, but it was also the very next Zoid being released before their hiatus. That's not nearly as much of a stretch as thinking years in advance (or at least giving your box artist years notice), especially when Kotobukiya holds yearly surveys to ask what people want to see next. Overall I think it's a fun theory, but probably just coincidence. These are all Zoids we'd expect to see in these scenes, and thereby also Zoids we'd expect to see released. Now if they released a Deadborder I'd be pretty amazed, but releasing a Pteras or Storm Sworder is kind of just a natural progression of the line. |

Blideligerzero94, sure I would buy them in the end (but def my least favorite series, so would not mind if they skipped that one or did last. There are so many way cooler Zoids to do before even thinking about Blox. Hanyoutai Oh yeah, I knew that was Naomi instead of Sturm haha, it was late yesterday and did not pay attention, saw something red haha (but also that Naomi has been done though, so I just still hope that my theory holds any merit. Cause for the rest it was all done though, so I think I still have a chance of it being some sort of a coming in the near future kind of thing and who wouldn't want an Elephander or Death Saurer right? It's Zoids, I'd buy it |

It was released before the Renewal, and featured in Episode 16 with the Red Bladey, so I'm not sure it's the best candidate for evidence~
Though perhaps this could be moved to the model kits board? It might be a bit of a shame if someone came along thinking there was news for the series when... there's actually no hints of the series continuing at all right now. Not saying it's dead, I sincerely hope it can keep going, just it's a bit of a worry time for a lot of avid HMM collectors. Maybe we'll see more at Wonderfest, but we've not had any teasers or anything for a future beyond the Sturm, so people might see the title and get confused.

I moved this thread because it wasn't newsworthy. Please try to post in the appropriate section of the forum.

In the background of the Sturm Tyrann box, you can see the Raven Raptor.
I'd say that there's a good chance that Rev Raptor and Raven Raptor will eventually come out as HMMs.

They'd better not make anything exclusive.. Just release everything as a normal release and in higher quantities.... It's hard enough to get them anyway over here in the Netherlands..
