ZW26 Cannon Bull

[Hanyoutai]

This is part of a group of Zoids that were revealed in this leak. The Cannon Bull follows the same formula as similar Zoids in the past, and is one of the few to have cockpit style eyes, instead of the eyes with pupils known to Zoids. Other examples being the Catalga and to an extent, the Gusock.

It's the first Zoid to use "Machine Blast", which evidently is another attack unlock limited to long range Zoids. In the case of Cannon Bull, the armor flips back to reveal a few guns hidden inside of its back. It'll be a medium sized battery operated kit.

Reminds me of the cannonfort

[Leon35]

Oh how I wish those Horns didn't look so toy-ish.

I do like the design overall, for a lot of the same reasons I like the GanonTortoise.

[Maethius]

For some reason it doesn't seem to follow the bio-Zoid + armor the other kits do. It doesn't look bad, really... a Cannon Fort on a Dibison frame.

[Snowflake]

See if I was Tomy I wouldn't be repeating animals and themes, I'd let them branch out, so you could have one cannoncow and one stabbycow, one stabbyraptor and one cannonraptor, yknow? But they seem to like doubling up and sticking with themes

[Hanyoutai]

Cannon Bull does still use the skeletal body (had to double check to make sure it wasn't Wild Liger/Hunter Wolf legs), but it's hard to see under its heavy armor~

[Maethius]

I don't see the bio-eyes on this model that every other kit seems to have. It looks like an old style head.

[dchan]

Between this Cannon Bull, the Dibison, and Cannonfort, it's almost as if there's an unsaid rule that all bison or similar-type Zoids must be more mechanical and blocky even compared to their contemporary counterparts. Though I guess it'd be harder to design a "sleek" bovine in the vein of Saber Tiger or Blade Liger, etc.

[Leon35]

I didn't notice that before!

That is a very interesting detail. I wonder if the build for the canopy will be similar to older kits, or to the Wild kits.

Walking mode and pic. It appears it has a crank for Machine Blast?

[Maethius]

That cam and mounting peg near it almost looks like they would be made for a specific expansion... the wild blas appars to be little more than the armored gun battery cover flipping back. I actually really like this model; very solid looking.

[Darth Escargot]

It mostly looks good because it borrows so many design cues from the Dibison (look at the leg armor), but heck, I'll take it.

The pegs can be used for extra weapons (yes weapons because it seems there will be more weapons coming as opposed to the initial weaponless ZW kits. They are probably trying to ease the kids into weaponized Zoids, so older fans like us have stuff resembling our old Zoids a bit more)
And the guns in the cannon move too.

And the gimmick is called Machine Blast now for models like this, Bazootle and Sniptera. The caps are also different for those kits.

I didn't realize the machine blast pegs also move. Looks really good.

Man, that looks pretty good. Are these newer kits looking more like the traditional Zoids, then? That piques my interest, for sure!
