Yes, motor: adoru0083.egloos.com/3226553'Tis smaller-size electric (closer in size to the large windup motors) with a connector thingy, and is codenamed what I think is "High Spec Z". The text on the linked pic seems to imply new designs in the works to go with this, or at least is teasing readers about the idea, marketing-style. There's apparently more pics at Zoidspoison, I can't seem to log in to look for them personally. |

...Oooh. Tiny battery-op zoids.
Connector? For external batteries? o-o;

External battery packs are kitty. I haven't had a saix or a fuhrer complain yet about their slim, lightweight bodies and cool clip-on backpacks

This looks extremely promising. I hope this means they're going to refocus on the motorized kits that made the brand what it is.

Well, technically, WINDUPS made the brand what it is.  BRING ON THE WINDUPS! |

Well, technically, WINDUPS made the brand what it is. BRING ON THE WINDUPS! , a wind-up motor is still a motor. |

But when we think motorized, we don't think clockwork.

There are pros and cons to both wind-up and battery motors, which is totally up to the designers to decide and we as fans choose to accept it or not.
I posted on Zoids Poison about this being a positive sign that TT is trying something new, as it stopped on Neo-Blox. What I am hoping for is something like the TF: Classics line: popular Zoids in update/refreshen designs. And I am hoping movements will improve for the Zoids

But when we think motorized, we don't think clockwork. Maybe you don't but when I think 'motor' I think of a machine that converts some form of stored energy (via spring, battery, or fuel) into mechanical motion. I posted on Zoids Poison about this being a positive sign that TT is trying something new, as it stopped on Neo-Blox. What I am hoping for is something like the TF: Classics line: popular Zoids in update/refreshen designs. And I am hoping movements will improve for the Zoids Same here. There was definitely enough concept art of 'updated' classics coming out of Tomy. If they're going back to basics and ditching the BLOX and large articulated bio-type zoids I hope they make use of some of it. |

Here is an answer I have from a contact in Japan :
"Information that I know is as follows.
It's a new power unit of moterized zoids .
The size is considerably small. (It's near the size of the high-power wind-up unit)
It's a parts of code name "High spec Z" series
High spec Z" is new zoids series in 2007.
A concrete zoids name has not been announced yet."
So it is a new line.

Don't worry, there is 99 % chance that this is the motor of a new Liger.
