==Overview== |
|||
The Godkaiser is a [[Tyrannosaurus]]-type Zoid (although its actual genus is unclear and subject to debate), used by the [[Helic Republic]]. |
|||
One of the more unusual Zoid designs, the Godkaiser was designed for covert operations and [[urban combat]]. Its low profile makes it very hard to detect, especially in cluttered terrain such as cities. While not very fast, the Zoid is designed to take advantage of its terrain to evade combat as it closes on its target. |
|||
The Godkaiser is very well armed and armoured, especially for a Zoid of its size. Rather unusually, the majority of its fixed weapons are pointed backwards. In addition to its various cannons, the Godkaiser is equipped with a pair of extendable combat claws that are capable of slicing through most armour. The Zoid is also equipped with a Power Connection Port, allowing it to mount extra weapons systems. |
|||
Furthermore, the Zoid is also compatible with the [[Transfighter]] Zoids. It is typically partnered with the [[Thundercannon]] for extra firepower. |
|||
==Battle Story appearances== |
|||
The Godkaiser first appeared in ZAC 2055, appearing in the aftermath of the [[Gilvader]]'s defeat. The Helic Republic sent a force of new Zoids to invade the [[Guylos Empire]] by crossing over the polar region. Consisting of [[Battle Cougar]]s, Godkaisers and [[King Baron]]s and supported by the Transfighters, the force was initially successful. However, they encountered a [[Guylos Empire|Guylos]] force consisting of the [[Ice Blazer]] and [[Gungyarados]], and were repulsed. |
|||
The Godkaiser design was wiped out during the ZAC 2056 meteor disaster, and has not been recreated. |
|||
==Media appearances== |
|||
===Video games=== |
|||
The Godkaiser's sole media appearance is in the Game Boy Color game ''[[Jashin Fukkatsu! Geno Breaker Hen]] (Evil God Revived! Geno Breaker Story)'', where they appeared as "wandering monsters". |
|||
==Models== |
|||
===Original Japanese Release - Grade-Ups=== |
|||
*Assembly required. (Snap-together, no glue needed. Scissors or X-acto knife recommended for trimming off excess plastic bits.) |
|||
*The model's colours are moulded into the plastic, and it does not need any paint. |
|||
The Godkaiser kit comes on five frames, along with a battery-powered motor, four gears on three axles, two metal contacts, a battery switch, eight rubber caps, a small chromed gold pilot and label sheets. The Godkaiser is moulded in white, purple, black and chrome gold. |
|||
The Godkaiser is a part of the [[Zoids Grade-Ups|Grade-Up]] Series of Zoid kits. These models have spinning connectors that are powered by the Zoid’s motor. Optional weapons systems can be mounted on these connectors that have action features powered by the Zoid’s motor |
|||
The Godkaiser’s construction isn’t overly complex or difficult, putting it roughly in the middle of the range for Zoid complexity. Like many of the other "Grade-Up" Zoids, the Godkaiser's motor does not come as an assembled unit like other Zoids, and needs to be built. The Zoid uses a single "AA" battery for power. Once activated, the Zoid walks forwards, raising and lowering its arms, while the power connection on its back spins and its jaws chomp. |
|||
No specific extra weapons were made for the Godkaiser, beyond the Grade-Up units that were used by all grade-up Zoids. Unlike other Grade-Ups, the '''GU-03 Eye Flasher''' mounts on the Godkaiser's back rather than its belly, and thus cannot be used with other grade-up weapons. |
|||
The Godkaiser was first released in 1989 with production continuing until 1990. |
|||
===Technozoids=== |
|||
While never promoted as such, there is some speculation that the Godkaiser was planned to be a part of the ''Technozoids'' line. A single photo of the prototype [[Zeekdober|Doberman]] on an [[eBay]] auction included a Godkaiser part, apparently from the same source. |
|||
===New American Release=== |
|||
The Godkaiser was also intended to be released as a part of the ''New American Release'' line, under the name '''Cannon Caesar'''. However, the line was discontinued before the Zoid reached production. A catalogue picture depicted the Zoid as recoloured in light green, dull green, flat grey and beige. |
|||
It is speculated that the Zoid's mould had been repaired or recreated by Hasbro, like those of the [[Battle Cougar]] and [[Houndsoldier]] were. The Zoid would have likely been designated as '''RZ-112''' or '''RZ-113''', to fit Hasbro's numbering scheme. |
