I wasn't excited about Transformers Zoids at First but if they do Liger Zero Ultra Magnus, I might Buy One Maybe

(If they did do Liger Zero White Magnus, I hope they keep his Eyes Red like the White Liger Zoids)

I've waited so long for a non-liger moto omg it so beautiful afdkhlgvh 💸💸💸

ooh the making-of video is neat, too. Not *as* impressive as the 80's ver. probably was, but it goes hard.

@kittykittyhunter said in response to this post: Tbh, the Zoids Battlr Commission seems a bit flaky — they allow Vega to participate in the Royal Cup despite him being affiliated with the Backdraft Group. The ZBC also rely on the Blitz Team to deal with the Backdraft Group in the first place, so… you know? I think Stoller did receive some backlash when he left the Backdraft (Altile said something about him not getting away with it iirc — which is funny because Stoller absolutely got away with it), but yeah, being able to nab the Elephander? Withour any repurcussions? That's WILD.

Though I suppose my in-universe explanation would be something convoluted like: the Committee of 7 thought their clients would find it amusing to watch Stoller return to the battlefield as a warrior again, so they shrug emoji'd and let him go.

As for Piers and Sanders… maybe the Backdraft weren't toobupset by their departures due to their respective losses.

(Sorry for spamming; Zoids is SO GOOD and there is practically nothing on here about New Century Zero fhdjjd)

And in response to this post: OP I WILL ALSO CARE ABOUT YOUR STOLLER FIC. He's so damn cool??? Like, what the heck!

Aww thank you so much for your responses! They made me really happy.

My vague thoughts were that Stoller and Sanders left together, probably during some time that there was some sort of shakeup happening in Backdraft and resources were unavailable to chase two defectors down. It could be during a Blitz Team battle, or maybe a test run with the Berserk Fury or something. (It's been a while since I've watched all of the episodes, so I don't remember the exact sequence of events.)

They know that if Backdraft catches them they'll die get smeared across the floor, so they go to the Battle Commission and promise to spill a bunch of secrets and let them study Elephander or whatever in return for protection. Battle Commission says hell yes, and probably puts a tracking system in Elephander or something to keep an eye on these guys and make sure their defection is real.

In my head Backdraft would make multiple attempts to get the Elephander back and also like, punish Stoller and Sanders, but that all happens off-screen since Blitz Team isn't involved. It's during this period that Pierce nopes out after her talk with Bit. Since she's by herself and has a much smaller, faster, and more transportable zoid, she has an easier time slipping under the radar.

As far as I remember, she doesn't ever have a legal battle with Blitz Team, so she probably doesn't register with the Battle Commission and just remains on the down low. She and Stoller and Sanders probably have a lot of fraught discussions about selling out before they're able to smooth things between them. Ex-Backdrafts have to stick together!

Presumably Stoller really loves the Elephander to want to bring it with him so badly. XD

Anyway, thank you so much for commenting! I'm glad to find another Stoller fan out there in the world!
