Yes the true factions come only from japan. Where they had a long running battle story that was printed on the actual boxes of the zoids.

So it starts off like this:
Zenebas empire Vs helic republic

Then when the zenebas empire is overthrown in a coo you get this:
Neo zenebas empire Vs helic republic.

Then when the helic republic destroys the dark continent of nyx the remnants of the zenebas empire become the guylos empire resulting in:

Guylos empire vs helic republic.

Who was good and who was bad? Also, how came no-one could beat the helic republic?

The first war ended with a stalemate and there was a truce declared. Then the zenebas empire was overthrown by military coop and became the neo zenebas empire. The war started again.

Well the neo zenebas empire was winning until the republic deployed the king gojulas. Then they were stuck by a meteor that destroyed one of the planets moons.

Then in the aftermath The newly formed guylos empire started a new war against the helic republic.

Niether faction was described as evil though.

Control of the central continent seems to have been the goal of both factions.

(not my image, but it's the same thing)

I'm going to post some pics of my current zoids collection in the "Other Collections" thread soon. Anybody getting any new zoids recently? They're coming out with a whole bunch of new ones, including reissues!

and CHECK OUT THIS GUY!!!

Ermm... if they just sloooowly walked away, they'd be fine. This guy IS awesome, but he makes Trypticon look like Usain Bolt.

Apparently, Empirical Tacticians can't master the concept of flanking.

If you haven't checked out Dez's YouTube Zoid vids, you need to. I think the first one was down last time I tried it, though.

Here's the second one. The first was removed for "violating terms of use". Was it the song you used, Dez?

I think it was the first one, in the 'outakes'. There was a snake Zoid (don't know the names) and man! that thing was fast. Zipped right off the table!

Oh and I found a pic of this guy [not my pic] the site called him a Crimson horn:-
Image

sure its a red horn with new parts but its still awesome[unfortunately now I want one.]. Takara Rebirth century reissues win once again. (I still have to track down a gil vader after HLJ couldn't fulfill the order I made. I have a King gojulas on the way though.)

dammit all of you. I am a huge fan of both Transformers and Godzilla, and ever since I was in toy shops hunting down japanese figures 15 years ago i kept thinking how zoids is a great amalgamation of both. I was collecting two separate toy lines however and thus could refrain from getting into a third.

Bah and the fact that King Gojulas is meant to indirectly refer to Gojira, King of the Monsters. No i cannot spend any more money on japanese toys.


How tall is that King Gojulas figure?

he's supposed to be the largest zoid of all but as of yet mine hasn't arrived for me to build and measure him.

this site gives a good size comparison and some measurements-

I've always loved zoids, I own the entire Chaotic Century series on dvd

And use to have a small collection of the kits, roughly 30 or so.
but last year I traded them with a lady in Kentucky for a large collection of various transformers figures from the movie and Cybertron lines.

Had some expensive ones too... Gojolas Giga, Ultrasaur, Iron Kong...

Just decided to focus on one collection, Transformers, still trying to get rid of some of my Starwars stuff.

My favorite zoid has always been the Shield Liger.
All that was needed is a catalyst... and the machines of war are set in motion.

If at first you don't succeed, Destroy all evidence that you tried.
