Well, they don't look even a little like zoids, so I'm going to say those are homemade models made with some plastic card and maybe some motors or something.. and zoid caps

The problem being we don't know how old those are. |

I already saw those type of model, at Zoids Exhibition. Those are prototypes used to test the mecanism. I saw the ones of Deathstinger, Diablo Tiger... Those are real futur models.

The frog and the creepy-crawlies are prototypes, but what's with the wiring around the fish-type? There seem to be some electronics involved - a remote control Zoid, maybe.

Ach; the pics are gone! I guess that's what happens when they were from Futaba/2chan...
...Lionel, did you save copies of those pics by any chance?

You may want to replace the links in your first post. I was kinda surprised when I clicked on them !
The Zoid pics don't mean much to me. They look to be very basic proto-types, more like a something a college student would knock up in their garage, very good technically but not at all slick.

XD it's never a good idea to direct-link to 2chan, man. *fixes first post*
On-topic, I'm waiting until I a) see scans where the text is readable and b) see more actually linked to these designs before I get excited, given how the line is and how easily things can be misinterpreted.
Frog looks cool, though. Froooog.

We need an actual, official frog, still. Let's hope these get somewhere!

I always wondered how they tested the mechanism! Thanks for edumacatin' me. (actually I thought it was all done on computers by this time)

the fish type with some wiring seems to be the tail of the dragon type on the sketch. look closely on the tail of that dragon very similar with the prototype. could this ne another biggie zoid  |

So they are test for the mechanism, thnak God, I really thought they were the ugliest zoids I've ever seen in my life.
Let's wait for the final design, and hope they have great movement.
