Hopefully, it would not be a CPC Intake... yuk ! Hey, Gul Tiger had one on its back, and Gul Tiger's cool. Can't say I like that thing, though.

Hmm, think I found a little more evidence for that being Energy Zaber Check out the other Energy Zaber prototype pic, underneath the Power zoids perso.orange.fr/Ultrasaurus.Red/protohasbro.htmWhile its a bad picture, those tubes on the "Energy Zaber" appear to be the same ones from the Tomy picture. It also looks like its missing things that are supposed to go in those slots on the final, possibly wings based on the prototype. The tubes on the proto Energy Liger look to be the same ones as on the finished product, so maybe that is the fabled Energy Zaber once and for all

Can anyone give me some info on Energy Zaber? Haven't heard of such a Saber. ;D The name appeared on Hasbro's site once, and aside from a picture from a catalogue, that's about it, until this picture popped up Hasn't popped up like the Power Zoids or Battle Rex to anyone's knowledge

Can anyone give me some info on Energy Zaber? Haven't heard of such a Saber. ;D It was a planned release by Hasbro to follow Energy Liger, it was listed on their website and even shown as a mock-up (not a prototype, they're two different things) in Hasbro's investor relations catalogue, which is a special catalogue only shown to retailers so they can decide how much stock they want to order. Jryu was clever enough to find the catalogue in .pdf form on Hasbro's E-source website and then converted them to .jpg's and I posted the images here. Even though it's ugly as sin it's really cool to finally see an actual prototype of the kit. Strange that they just remolded the Saber Tiger mold instead of creating an entirely new kit like they did with Energy Liger. -Pheno

I see. Thanks. Heck if TakaraTomy would decide to release that, they should make the head smaller, like the regular Saber Tiger. Otherwise it'd be something like Hydrocephalus Saber Tiger.

It's almost as if this is between a prototype and a mock up. The body seems to be an adaption of the sabre tiger and the legs are definately from it but the head ,while similar , is very different. The details in its lines are not the same and the cockpit hatch is much higher.Perhaps new ,more proportionate legs were planned if the kit went to production but regular tiger legs were used to show the kit off .Any way its to bad. This would have been a nice addition to the tigers. By the way, is it just me or does there appear to be fluid in the energy tubes?

In all honesty I don't think they need anymore Murasames or anything from the Genesis line for that matter. There are enough variations. They should make a new Zoids; get their creative juices flowing.
Energy Zaber... meh. I like the blue and white color scheme though.

Same here. I like the colour scheme somewhat, but if that was a prototype of the Energy Zaber, I'm not surprised it did'nt get the go ahead for a general release. I'm sure the final release would've looked better, but that is far too bulky. BTW Lionel, bonafide kitty lover here
