Personally I think the concept of Zoids: Fuzors is a bad idea. It seems too much like a gimmick, especially with forced combinations that won't even work (i.e. Berserk Fury+Buster Eagle, Brachio Zilla+Missile Tortoise). The only Zoids that are actually meant to "fuze" in real life are Killer Dome+Dark Spiner and Liger Zero+Fire Phoenix. I suppose you could count Seismosaurus+Laser Storm*Scissor Storm but that seems more like a weapons upgrade than actual fuzing. Thoughts? Opinions?

I agree with you. It should have stopped at Liger. Dark Spiner+Killer dome I think was a good idea, but now I dont like them because they beat the Konig Wolf... don't ask. But honestly, Fuzing = BAD

I have to agree about the fusing gimmick. It's not really the greatest idea. The show seems more like a way to market Hasbro's "unique" designs more than anything else.

Actually, I think that the idea of Fuzing is actually a good idea. The only problem with it is that they are forcing the Fuzors like you said earlier.
LOL! Brachio-Tortoise! What were they thinking?
And my god! What is up with the Buster Fury. That was so messed up. You might as well just glue the stupid Buster Eagle on top of the Berserk Fury. Where's the "FUZING"!?!?!?
I think the only decent Fuzor so far is Liger Zero Pheonix since it actually "Fuzes" and isn't just some Zoid put on top of another.
I guess Killer Spiner is alright too, but I haven't seen it in action except for when it was attacked by the Zaber Fang Holotech. I missed some episodes.

Don't worry, you didn't miss anything. No need to watch Konig Wolf gets its assets kicked.

My least favorite type of Digimon evolutions were the jogress ones...not counting things like Omegamon that were only used as a oh-crud-it's-going-to-drop-a-nuke-on-Japan last resorts.
That says something about it, I think :p.
I don't mind some of them, like the Matrix/Chimera Drgons, or the Liger Zero Phoenix...ones that make sense and were designed that way. Ones like the Command Wolf and Leo Striker seem forced. And what's with it turning white? I bet they try and sell the white Command Wolf now...or a lavender one.
If it's lavender, the sad thing is, I'd buy it. But only because I like Command Wolf variants. Yep...er...

well, i don't think fusions are totally a bad idea, but they definitely need to get better in the execution, they look like little kids are designing them they're so simple. but i do like the blox fusing and i think if they work on it a little more they could make some much needed improvements. and i'm in favor of the whole dark spiner+killer dome fusion, but that brings up a new question. which is more powerful, the dark spiner+killer dome, or the berser fuhrer?

Who's Idea was fusing anyway? Hasbro's or ShoPro's or whoever the heck thought of the original, probably It-Kicks Ass-In-Japan-Only-Because-Marketing-Says-so. Nice ending theme, though, but it's the only good part.

the problem with the Fuzing is that its too many of these Blox/Z Builder hybrids that don't always look right and not enough of the Killer Dome/Dark Spiner sort of combinations with Actual zoids that actually work.

One of the reasons I don't like Blox/Fuzors is because, well, it removes the whole uniqueness of a type of Zoid.
An example is that you could probably end up making a Gun Sniper perform Blade Liger attacks due to it being fused with Blox/Fuzors. Which to me, is a total waste. Personally, I beleive that they brough Fuzors/Blox in to make some extra cash really, instead of pleasing the fans.

While Buster Fury looks a bit forced, I actually liked Command Striker, with Leostriker as a multiple weapon turret. Brachio Tortoise, I haven't seen, but that sounds like the weirdest combination ever.
Hey, wasn't Stylu Armor meant to fuze with Seismosaurus too?

Hey, wasn't Stylu Armor meant to fuze with Seismosaurus too? Not exactly. It depends on your definition of "fuzing". IMO fuzing is when two Zoids actually combine in a seamless fusion of parts, like Liger Zero Phoenix. To me it isn't a fusion if only a few parts get used from one Zoid. Stylu Armor's weapons can be used on Seismosaurus but only as a CP, it's not the same thing. -Phenotype |

All pf the fusions in the show are possible with the right amount of cutting a gluing..
I think the reason they made Fusions in the show was to incorporate the BLox zoids and to be more like other popular animes (Transformers,Digimon,Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc)
