Technozoids (テクノゾイド, Tekunozoido), or simply Zoids (ゾイド, Zoido), is a Japanese science fiction media franchise created by Tomy that feature giant robots (or "mecha") called "Zoids". A Zoid is essentially a large mechanical animal, with designs being based on animals; including dinosaurs, insects, arachnids and mythological creatures.
The franchise started with a model-kit-based toy line and includes five main anime TV series (Chaotic Century, New Century, Fuzors, Genesis and Wild) as well as several video games and manga products.
From Zoids World to Zoids: Chaotic Century and New Century to the mystery of Zoids: Genesis, the comics, the video games and reboot after reboot.
Zoids is big.
But how could it be anything less than the most successful toy line and media franchise today?

I lived in England for a couple of years and Zoids were a much bigger thing there than they were in the U.S. Great toys, great comic.

I remember watching the show as a kid (I believe it was New Century). The High End Master Model kits are amazing. While Zoids is not as widely known as Gundam, it still has a charm to it.

Also, I should add that it's kind of annoying when people complain about the newest generation. The Zoids of the Zoids Wild series were based on actual wild Zoids from the lore that existed before humans came in and started messing with them. Zoids did not always have cockpits and weapons. They evolved naturally from their zoid cores. So, it makes sense why the humans are riding on their backs in that anime. Humans started modifying Zoids by taking out their cores and putting them in new bodies and building weapons and cockpits, etc. It's pretty sad that these creatures had to go through such torture.

As someone who's been along for the Zoids saga from the beginning, I appreciate the amount of exhaustive effort put into this episode. 👍

You gotta have a look at the Zoids HMM line of model kits. They started with those back in around 2005 and still come up with new designs. They are expensive as heck but the detail on them is absolutely stunning. Also Did you know that Zoids Wild: Zero has been written by the guys that made the first Zoids Anime, Chaotic century? Hench the less kiddie approach and more war and mysterious adventure plot of the series.

For so long I thought the Zoids show was a dream I had because I couldn't remember anything except the blue robot, which I wasn't sure was a wolf or a lion.

I discovered this show on Toonami during college when I would get home from class and there was nothing else on. I was hooked immediately by the visuals with the CG fight scenes

When I was a kid in the '80's, the small hardware store that my Dad frequented sold Zoids (and later Starriors) for some reason. That was the only place that I remember seeing them. As a kid who was all about the "lore", I found the lack of story to be confusing, but also strangely fun. I had a large HO scale train layout, and the tiny figures inside the Zoids seemed to be close in scale to my train set people. I quickly sat about using Zoid models to terrorize the good citizens of train town, and later added some 1/72 scale infantry figures as resistance. It was probably some of the most imaginative playing that I ever did.

i remember being a kid in 2001 and getting on AOL to search for information about zoids and being really disappointed that most results were just porn. What a time.

I feel like New Century would have caught on if they did just one more season. Seriously, it was a perfect mix of comedy, action and the story was just getting interesting.

Fuzors also refers to the eventual ability of the Zoids to combine with the Damn Trash Can. For example, your mom discovers that your Liger Zero can fuse with the Damn Trash Can to create a less messy Fuzor called Since You Can't Clean Up After Yourself I Threw Liger Zero in the Damn Trash Can

I had a Robo Strux Gordox as a kid, but had completely forgotten about it until this video. I never knew there was a related cartoon.

I really love Zoids. I wish it was more popular.

The only Zoids show I’ve ever watched is Zoids: New Century back when it aired on YTV in the early 2000s. I miss the days when cable tv was good.

Quite obviously, I love robot animals, and Zoids is an especially beloved one of mine, especially the New Century, the Chaotic Century, and Fuzors.

In before watching to drop my only item of Zoid knowledge: I believe Grant Morrison wrote the original Marvel Comic series for Zoids.

My first Zoid was a 'Tank' zoid and my brother got the 'Serpent' zoid. Got Zoidzilla and Gore the Lord Protector (Iron Kong) later. Loved these toys. RIght in my top 3 along with Transformers and Lego. Chaotic Century was a great cartoon too with a great storyline.
