Just saw this tweeted out by the official Zoids account. I don't have a way to translate it, but this guidebook had a page announcing the elephant/mammoth Zoid that leaked out a while back. Also looks like the other one is in the background. There's also what looks like it could be another evolution of the Liger, but I'm guessing it could also be a custom of some sort. Here is the tweet: And the guidebook: www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/zoidswild/book/07.html#book02/18 |

The elephant's name could be Zero Phantos. I suppose it will be a good guy zoid.

I don't see the Elephant Zoid in the picture (unless I am missing something).
The New Liger looks good! Im excited to see more of it (maybe I will finally get a Liger from this line)
What is with the Zoids on the bottom of the page? Are those customs?

I wonder what the skeleton form will look like.

 I wonder how those purple stripes are going to be done. Looks like stickers. |

Good point DE, I think you're right.
For some reason my brain interprets the image as a small Zoid, akin to Twin Horn. I know that's likely not the case, but something about the angle, or the smooth armor shapes, or something makes it read as a wind-up size to me.
Looks neat though! Curious about the screw at the top of the trunk. Guessing that's part of some Wild Blast gimmick connected to the giant lattice thing on the back.

Reminds me of the Elephander.

Honestly, even with good photos and seeing other people's recolor attempts, this guy's still just a total flop to me. There's not really any one positive to its design imo. It is, however, the start of a new type of Zoid, so we'll see how it goes with the rest.
When its name was originally leaked it was just the ZW43 Phantos. I wonder if all Zoids of this genre will include "Zero" in the naming syntax. Someone on twitter also pointed out that it and the Goji both have those bar things sticking out of the back of their head.
Stickers seem like a likely option. All of the purple stripes have raised edges, maybe as guides? Also curious if this is a completed example. There are some bare looking bars on the back, and the trunk looks like it's designed to rotate all the way back with a tip that looks like it's meant to grab something. Definitely curious to see how the Wild Blast pans out.

Looks like it could be inspired by Twin Horn or by the original Elephantus (WUZ-005) by the colors and tusks. I don't believe this is a windup; those caps are the same ones as on the Death Rex, so we are talking something between Red Horn and Elephander in size. Also, the head seems to have handlebars and a monitor on it for the rider. A cool design, though. I noticed that the legs appear solid, or at least it has inner and outer armor pieces to make it look solid... a feature I wouldn't expect in a windup at all (and seldom in a bat-op kit) Thanks for the post!

Is it me, or does the trunk look like it's on upside down?

It uses Cannon Bull's frame so it's a Medium-sized, battery operated Zoid. I get the feeling that the Machine Blast is going to be pretty flashy, so I'm looking forward to it.

Who can be ZW44?

Zero Greizis is 44. And yeah, it's not a windup. The windups don't have any motorized blast features, which this seems to, judging by the screw in the nose. For handlebars, if you mean the top of the trunk, I suspect the trunk can rotate all the way backwards over the head, possibly to grab and throw something from the back~

Is that the giant dinosaur guy? |
