Zoids is either one of 3
anime series, or a series of plastic
models that look like animal-shaped
robots.
Plot summary
The three anime series pertaining to Zoids are: Zoids Chaotic Century,
Zoids New Century/0 and Zoids Fuzors. All of these series take place on
the planet Zi, and in all series the Zoids are
metallic life-forms which are used by people as workers and
weapons.
Chaotic Century
Zoids Chaotic Century follows a boy named Van Flyheight who is being
chased by bandits and finds a girl named Fiona and a small silver zoid,
which he names Zeke, in old capsules in some old ruins. Zeke, who is later
found to be an Organoid, helps Van and Fiona escape the bandits by
reactivating a broken Shield Liger and helping Van pilot it out. As the
series progresses, Van meets various opponents, such as Raven, and
friends, like Moonbay and Irvine, and eventually ends up helping Fiona in
her quest to regain her memory and to find the Zoid Eve.
New Century
Zoids New Century/0 takes place several centuries after Chaotic
Century, where zoid battles have become a form of sport and battles are
sanctioned by the Zoid Battle Commission. The series starts with a junk
dealer named Bit Cloud, who gets caught up in one of the sanctioned zoid
battles and ends up almost ruining the Blitz team's chances of scoring
victory, and ends up getting the match rescheduled to the next day. Bit
decides to help them win the battle by piloting the unusual Liger Zero, a
zoid which no one seems to be able to pilot. The next day he pulls off an
amazing victory in the resumed battle with his new partner, the Liger
Zero. Later, as Leon goes off on his own to hone his skills, Bit ends up
joining the Blitz team and helping Brad, Lena, Jamie and Dr. Toros (father
of Leon and Lena and leader of the Blitz team) score victories in their
continuing adventures leading up to the Royal Cup match.
Fuzors
Zoids Fuzors takes place a while after Zero, and technology has
progressed quite a bit. Now, it has been discovered that Zoids can fuse
with other Zoids and create more powerful combinations. The story follows
the team Mach Storm as they fight against opponents on the ever changing
battlefield.
