Nice! Will they make the booster a separate kit, like the BF unit?

It's based off of the DRZ-04 Green Horn from the Zoids Delusion War Record web comic. The DRZ-04 Green Horn was released on December 26, 2002 for 2,500 yen alongside the DRZ-03 Iron Kong Yeti which retailed for 3,980 yen. Both Green Horn and Iron Kong Yeti were exclusive to Happinet back in the day. Sadly, TOMY never made a Green Horn AB.

Nice! Will they make the booster a separate kit, like the BF unit? They didn't do so before with any of the Blade Liger releases but that would be nice. I feel that this has been a Zoid fans have wanted for a long time. This is a great announcment. |

Totally agree! I have always wanted to have one of these... I got the Green Horn limited when it came out and was bummed that it lacked the boosters! Of course every shot of the boosters I saw was a custom, but I still wanted the whole thing as a kit.

I didn't realize it was supposed to have boosters. Should look fantastic!

(I'm seeing images ok)
Yeah, the boosters will be released as a separate CP. Even more exciting, all of the new Koto CPs were said to be designed to use more universal attachments, so they can work with other Zoids. This'll be great for customs~ Also means the CP AB unit will be a bit different from the Bladey versions.

According to my manual, the Command Wolf Repackage comes with a "universal joint" for the main weapons (male to female). I think its intended to let more HMM kits mount those weapons? Excited to see more of that

"Universal joint" probably means some manner of unique-attachment-to-3mm-peg adapter; pretty much all of Kotobukiya's other model kit lines use a 3mm standard peg size. So do Takara's Diaclone and Bandai's pretty much everything for that matter, though the former uses plenty of 4mm pegs as well.

Aren't those the same Attack Boosters that were included with the Blade Liger?

Yeah, the universal joints are usually 3mm and as mentioned above are used in a ton of model kit series (including new and old Zoids). The Attack Boosters are the Bladey Design, but a newer version that'll include such universal attachments. This'll make them more compatible with other Zoids than the Blade Liger variants' boosters are.
It's too early to confirm but I'm guessing this kit will also be the normal Green Horn, if you want one. The sprues share pieces with other parts of the Zoid, and in those cases, they usually include the 'base kit' parts because it's cheaper than making a new mold.
