shadow fox EP, what is that zoid?

[Raysetiger]

OK, really didn't want to start a thread for this question, but i was to- to curious.
ON the ep when brad gets the shadow fox, at the point where he escapes and runs to the shadow fox in the hanger, while running thier was this brown tan like zoid that looked something like a konig wolf, what was that zoid?

u know, i'm sure most of u all seem the ep already and Brad passed cross a brown wolf like zoid with it's hands or feet whatever pointing in front of him.

SO? anyone?

Nothing like a König or anything else canine:



What is it? Nobody knows. Could be bored animators, could be a prototype design that never went further.

[Moshii]

Hmmm...believe it or not, I like it. Now we need a petition to convince TOMY to produce it for members of Pheno's site only...or make one. That might be easier.

I asked the same thing in the zoids rant topic a little while ago and was replied with this

They aren't anything that we can figure out, they're just...background weirdness. Scrapped early design for something the animators chucked in? The Japanese intro has a prototype Panzer in, after all..

[Raysetiger]

maybe a wild bore i think thats how u spell it, u know with that large teeth stick ing out, no , well worth a try.
but know that i see a clear veiw of how it looks, their is about three of em, one looks like a prototype konig wolf, one is that wild hog thingy and one is just-well it has no head and the colors are pretty interesting.

[Tilly]

The only fully shown Zoids are the pigthings, unless you count another view of the Fox in hand-drawn style. No Wolf . I'll make a clip if need be...

[fuzzypanda]

I used to think that the black thing could have been a brachios wanna be or something but looking at that pic it looks like 2 zoids instead of one

[D00mLiger]

Yeah, the two fully visible ones are Wild Boar/ Warthog types. The one beyond, the cut-off black thing? Looks like a Brachios (the red things look awfully like a Brachios' crystal panel dealies...)

[adamassc]

they're too compact for Brachios. They look more to be bipedal, like a chicken or something similar.

[Crushader]

Hmm interesting, but it sure looks like a konig wolf though I dont have one myself so i dont know how exactly a konig wolf would looks like.

[Tilly]

It's got a boar's head, complete with tusks and blunt nose. It's the wrong color (Mk.II came far later) and the ears face the wrong way. I really, really don't see how it looks like this:

[D00mLiger]

*sigh.* The conclusion is obvious; the Zoids animators are our to eat our brains.
They put it there on -purpose-, knowing that years later, we'd all be squinting and puzzling and stuff. Eeevil, I say!

On a side note, by looking at Tilly's picture, I'm reminded of how my NJR Konig has no front tooth-piece. I lost it.... heegahergerkk! Wakk!

[Xehn]

How did I miss this thread?



Um. I'm more curious about the things in the background. The things with little 'guns'. And the silver thing in front of them...

[Snowflake]

Since when does könig have a separate front tooth piece?
I'm more curious about whatever's between the pig and the 'brachios' .. it looks like a zero X

[Tilly]

I'm really not seeing a Liger, just random not-connected-to-any-Zoid bits .
