I think fuzing is pointless. It's just another gimmic to get little kids to buy zoids and go around "fuzing" zoids thinking it's special or somthing, when zoids were originaly made to do stuff like that, be customized.

I acknowledge that the impetus for the Z-Builders/Blox line of Zoids is for the toy companies to make more money and to add a new gimmick to the Zoids brand. That said, I don't think fusing is in and of itself a bad thing. Fuzing, to me, seems to be taking the CPs a step further. Take a large, powerful zoid and combine it with a smaller zoid with a unique ability, and you get a new zoid with interesting abilities and potential. For example (and really the only true fuzing example), Liger Zero Phoenix combines the power of a durable liger type zoid with the flight capabilities of a bird type zoid.
That having been said, I think the execution of the fuzing has been pretty bad in the anime. A lot of the fuzing they've showed has just been the Blox turning into glorified CPs. For example, see the Berserk Fury and Buster Eagle, the Command Wolf and LeoStriker, the Brachizilla and Missile Tortoise, and the Dark Spiner and Killer Dome. In these combinations, the two Zoids don't really merge into each like the Liger Zero and Fire Phoenix. And the new combinations don't really seem to add anything excitingly new to the main zoids. Plus, the potential of them seems to be bordering on the ridiculous. They are shown to be able to generate way much more power than either one is capable of on their own. And yet, for all the power they can supposedly generate together they sure do run out of power very quickly.
So, yeah, fuzing isn't a bad idea, I think. I just don't think the anime has been able to pull it off without giving it the stench of being just a gimmick. A large part of the blame I chalk up to the anime being targeted to a much younger audience than me.

I don't think fuzing itself is a bad idea if the Zoids are actually designed to fuze like LZ0+FP. It's the Anime that drives me nuts with its forced and impossible combinations. -Phenotype

I personally think that fuzing itself is a good idea, think of the possibilities, some fuzes could increse a zoids power incredidbly. Then again you've got Brachio-tortoise and comon that is just sick and wrong, its like fuzing a hamster with a chicken what do you get a chicster, well in fuzors you do lol

I think Fuzing is stupid...they got it from DBZ/DBGT. Plus, Zoids are living things, have you ever seen a living bird fly apart and attach to a lion? Exactly!! Its too, well, dumb...

Quick question when 2 zoids have fused which one of the pilots actually controls it?

Do they both control it? (buster eagle's pilot controls cannons etc, Fury's pilot controls the fury/claws/cpc etc). If one person takes control, I'd hate to be a passenger if someone like RD was at the controls...

Heh, yeah. Heck, hate to be the poor guy on Matrix Dragon who gets stuck upside down on the tail....
I don't know if it ever mentioned who controls it. Like Andy said, I imagine that each pilot controls a certain amount, but someone would need to be the main pilot. Who that is, probably the stronger Zoid, or the one that has another Zoid combine to it.

From what we've seen in Fuzors, it looks like each pilot controls the functions that came from his/her own Zoid. Caveat: I haven't seen the latest episode which featured the Matrix Dragon.
With the Killer Dome and Dark Spiner, the Dark Spiner pilot appeared to control the movement of the Zoids. The Killer Dome pilot appeared to control the claws and the energy shield. With the Buster Eagle and Berserk Fury, Blake appears to control movement, the Fury's weapons, the Fury's jets, and the Fury's CPC. Luke appears to just control the Eagle's weapons. I can't recall who controlled flight with the Eagle's wings. The same division of control appears, to me at least, in the Brachio Zilla and Missile Tortoise combination and the LeoStriker and Command Wolf combination.

Fuzing does have good potentials but they're not beng taken. The zoid should create a cp or armor or something like that on another zoid and not just pigggy back the zoid.
