Thank you Pheno, nobody reMembers that when I tell them. Isn't there already a brachiosaur, or is that brachios? NP, yeah it's Brachios, that threw me off at first too. -Pheno

it was brachios.... and the comment about rainbow jerk was a joke.. come on guys... you're too serious...*wink*(especially considering the comment on the toy itself at hlj)... hearing Ruuji say the name in the series though.. it sounds more like rainbow jerku... *note to self, try to change speaker settings...*
Tomy, blox pterosaur please..... or any new pterosaur design....
Also, about the new blox... is the genesis bio kentro the only stegosaur that can use the tail as a weapon... I can see that the new one only has rods similar to gorhecks.... they're just electromagnetic jammers if I remember correctly... no blades for these guys huh?

So yeah the spelling is Rainbow Jaaku or "Rainbow Jark" but since its in katakana, and depending on how you pronounce it, the intention could also be either "Rainbow Jerk" or "Rainbow Jarc" as well. All of them are valid.
A Jerk is a colorful bird so that works although it makes the "Rainbow" part rather repetitive. I don't remember what "Jarc" was...

Bio Kentro is a kentrosaurus, not a stegosaur.. and yes, it's tail is used for offensive purposes, unlike Gorhecks, who uses it's tail spikes for it's All-weather 3D Radar Antenna.. But Gordos has Titan Spike on it's tail, which are used for offence too.

But Gordos has Titan Spike on it's tail, which are used for offence too. I think she was referring to the group classification, of which kentrosaurus is a Member (the family Stegosauridae). So while it's not a Stegosaur us, with a capital S, it is a stegosaur. Or something like that. It's been forever since I took a bio course.

Kentrosaurus and Stegosaurus are part of the same genus so the comparison works. But the claim isn't true since like it has been said, Gordos can strike with its tail too. We just only see the Bio Kentro do it because its main focus is melee.

Yeah.. Technically, any Zoid can use any part of their body to attack.. Just some parts of their body will be more effective than others.

awfully frightening....<--- refers to cow belly flop attack... *note to self.. do not use biological terms... causes confusion.. thanks to those who understood.. I was referring to kentrosaurus as a stegosaur in general...* and yes, I agree... any part of a zoid's body (or almost.. someone might take me literally again)... can be used as a weapon... considering the design though, I'd doubt that the gordos' tail would be as effective... but then again, I just based it on the anime.. never saw it used as a weapon.. forgot to look at the toy specks *mental note to self.. look at all specs*

Kentrosaurus and Stegosaurus are part of the same genus so the comparison works. On a quibbling note, Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus are members of the same order, being Stegosauria. Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus are individual genus with their own species. Both are members of the same family (Stegosauride), however. So the relationship betwen them would be more akin to that of, say, a housecat and a lion then differnt members of the same genus like a lion and a tiger. Rick R.

I like most of the new blox. Just to avoid disappointment, I've pre-ordered every one of them and IF in the event a photo pops up when its released and its not what I want then it'll be axed.
Can any confirm what is exactly inside the "Starter" boxes?
