THE ZABER FANG

Thinking about Her today

Strong, loyal, ruggedly handsome but with a soft side, stalwart against even the most impossible odds

I didn��t say her name but you thought of her anyway didn’t you?

I loved Zoids as a kid. The toys, the shows, the one english gba game. Then I found out that the english patch for fuzors and the ds game was finished so I played them. Then, I ended up rewatching Chaotic Century and New Century. Then I got inspired and just did some stuff for fun hahaha. They’re not part of any specific zoids universe, just the idea of here’s a lineup of people who pilot some zoids, playing zoids tropes, thoughts on talent, prodigies, and found family.

I imagined the indigo guy piloting a shield liger. The Blade Liger is my favourite zoid, but I wish there was a more defense oriented “evolution” of the shield liger to suit him, but I don’t know how to design mechs. So if there was a shield-ier shield liger, that would be his zoid, since he’s more of a tank. Maybe he can pilot an Elephander, but I just love the shield liger-blade liger zoids so much. Plus he’s one of the “main characters”, so he must have a liger! 😂

The little girl pilots a Zaber Fang, because she’s also a main character and the main character usually pilots a liger so I thought hmmm maybe let’s subvert that while also being a callback to Raven, a prodigy.

Also, tbh I don’t know why I made a health bar sketch because if there was to be a health bar of any kind, it would be for the zoid and not for the character. But the idea came to me and I had fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it 😊 Maybe I’ll post my Van and other zoids character sketches one of these days (if i get around to scanning them 🤷🏻‍♂️)

I just think its important to the ecosystem that Takara Tomy knows I am disappointed in them for releasing a new zoids line and headlining it with only blade liger, shield liger (and zaber fang if you're feeling spicy with those frames) at least once every two months or so because i will explode if i do not

So... there's a slight hole in my heart now that I've finished my Zoids: New Century Zero rewatch.

Man, it was so much fun! Overall, the pacing was excellent — but being the big tournament fan that I am, I definitely would've welcomed more episodes being dedicated to the Royal Cup. I was a bit baffled that it all got wrapped up in just three eps... it would have been a great opportunity to introduce another solid team rather than focusing purely on the four rivals we saw (the Lightning Team, the Champ Team, Naomi's team and the Fuzzy Pandas Zaber Fangs). However, to dedicate another ep to the Royal Cup, we would have had to drop a filler and the only real contender I can think of is the Sebastian-has-a-crush episode. I would be slightly reluctant to drop it since it gave us some sweet moments where Bit helped out Harry and the gang so it was sorta cute in its own way.

Still, some of the Backdraft's motivations were a bit whacky and needed more exploration. There doesn't seem to be much correlation between shooting down the judges' satellites and taking over the Zoid Battles Commission. And Altile being ready to kill a 10-year-old in order to undermine a colleague was definitely a theme that could've used some expansion! Nevertheless, the tension was effectively built up all the way through and seeing Bit win the final battle with the original Liger Zero was lovely.

Though the poor Panzer unit only got two outings!!

It was bizarre/incredible to hear so many people from the Gundam Wing dub! Picking up on Duo's voice was definitely a bit of a shock, lol. And man, all the DBZ voices... we always had a huge laugh in our household about Harry and the Great Saiyaman having a voice actor in common.

/looks up Scott McNeil

WHAT? He voiced Stoeller too?!? Oh wow oh wow —

I think the women in Zoids were all great: Leena was obnoxious, brash, loud and trigger happy (big heart emoji); Naomi was cool, calm and collected; Mary Champ was materialistic, refined and caring; the Tasker sisters had incredible battling skills (though very little development, sadly); Pierce was cool; Fuma was super cool and Sarah was ambitious and motherly. I loved that they all had very different roles and character motivations. And man, even the comic relief ladies were sweet — like the poor Royal Cup reporter and the woman in the parts shop who was rightfully terrified when Bit couldn't find the order form, lol. They all had autonomy and a part to play... and they all had a very deep appreciation for Zoids.

(Some sports anime could take note.)

And, once again, there's a tenuous link between a series I love and Sengoku BASARA. I came to know of Fuuma Kotarou through Basara — and, given that the Fuma team were super stealthy and could suddenly appear like ninja when Altile summoned them, I'm assuming the leader, Fuma, was based on the historical figure. So that was fun!

I'm wondering if what I watched was the HD version, after all? The episodes included scenes that hadn't made it to the dub — there were only about 4 or 5 in total, and with the exception of the scene where Laon was in a bar and then approached by the Backdraft Group, the cut scenes didn't really add anything.

It's a shame that Zoids: New Century Zero didn't get a second season because wow, I definitely could spend more time with these wonderful characters. At the same time, the whole series was incredibly satisfying to watch, so I'm not too torn up, I suppose.

But scenes I'd like to see!

- Bit taking a break, as promised, and returning in Episode 3 or 4 to save the day and join the series properly

- Top-notch warriors in S Class; the Blitz Team losing a few battles

- A new armour for the Liger Zero

- More exploration of Organoid systems

- Definitely some more stuff with Vega, Stoeller and the other cool folk from the series... I think the Lightning Team would make it to S Class, but I'm not sure about Naomi

- More battles being won by Leena, Brad or Jamie — one thing that disappointed me in Zoids a little was that Bit was the deciding factor for too many battles

- A short tournament for Brad and Naomi to participate in, since they made that promise?

- Absolutely no change to Steve Toros; I LOVE HIM

- Please... cool new Zoids...

- Something cool to replace the Backdraft Group... or maybe Toros goes on a wild hunt to find another Ultimate X (in which case, we'd need a new character to pilot it).

I think that's it for now!

Happy Year of the Tiger 2022 🐯

[blade-liger-4ever]

Awww, so sweet!

That poor Zaber Fang, though XD.

A collection of FOR-Specific doodles/drawings done over the last year or two.

- A red Dibison I often ended up in battles with!

- There was a Death Stinger event where, to destroy it before it reached the base, you had to run ahead to trigger its CPC spin so it would stop, so it would have more time to be damaged. Most Zoids didn’t bother to see if there was one of us CPG-users anchored in place before doing this, though. Many Breakers were a’sploded that week.

- The world will never know the horror of pachyderms trying to kamikaze your base for a full 10 minutes because their ridiculously OP defense let them walk right past you- Won with a tiny sliver of base HP left.

- The introduction of the Konig Wolf was topically paired with insane battle glitches, game crashes, etc. Including the Zoid being stuck in place throughout the battle. Overheating woes.

- ��� Purple Shadow Foxes are just pretty ok. Go-to scheme for all game foxes.

- Overpowered Zeek Dober was in for a very rude awakening when the newly introduced launching Breaker claws snared him mid-Hellblazer run and dragged him to a fiery death.

- Don’t play multiplayer games with reliant teammates during lightning storms, kids-

- Drawn during the very last day of Zoids FOR, with just a few hours remaining. I battled until the very moment I could battle no more.

Alright Zoids/Arknights crossover event let’s go

The story gets set off by Closure (this works better with a playable Closure but isn’t necessary) getting a message/letter from Eunectes, who’s been back home for a bit, that she needs her mentors help with something in Acahualla. Naturally Closure goes to assist

When she arrives Closure is greeted by crowds of Acahuallans and the newly above ground Durin cheering as two small scale zoids piloted by Durin duke it out in an arena/designated area of the jungle

She meets up with Eunectes, who explains that a combined group of Durin and Acahuallan’s stumbled onto an old massive machine shaped like a beast in a mine/old temple etc. Curiosity being what it is the groups work together looking into the machine, finding logs on it detailing other such machines and more importantly, logs about what they are for.

Gladiatoral combat.

Giant animal robot fighting is a massive hit with both groups, So everyone, lead by Deculture Silvermint goes all in on making smaller scale (due to lack of resources) Zoids that Durin can pilot in contests. Eunectes called Closure I’m not to put a stop to this, but for her mentors help in making her own Zoid.

Shenanigans ensue, as you might expect, all culminating in a final showdown against Silvermint either piloting or stuck inside the ancient zoid gone berserk, because I think it’s really funny if there’s a trend of the Durin characters being the bosses of their own events every time.

Character wise it’d have Silvermint as the welfare 5/6 star Artificer and if they have the FUN writers on staff the other 2 units would be a Durin pilot melee unit and a humanoid zoid that is the result of Eunectes achieving her dream of building a talking robot with the zoids tech and giving us a 6 star Robot operator.

There could also be 6 star Arts Defender Eunectes kitted out in some pilot gear and with an S3 that involves summoning her custom zoid akin to her bringing out The Big Ugly Thing in her base unit. This would be fun but I’m still jaded about not getting monhun monsters as operators so let me have my zoid operators, I need this.
