Section 1: Overview
--------------------

    Ah, Zoids Saga.  A great game, even if you don't speak or read Japanese 
(before anyone asks, no, I don't read or speak the language, but I know a 
little.  Enough to do some rough translations and put this guide out.)  Of 
course, one of things that makes it so fun to play and enhances the 
replayability is the quest to collect Zoid data.  What's that, you ask?  
Well, if you go to a Zoid construction/repair shop, and if you have the Zoid 
data for a given Zoid model as well as the required construction components 
and money, you can build the Zoid in question.  There are 143 different Zoids 
in the game, and you can build each one of them, from Ban's Shield Liger BS 
to Bit's Liger Zero Panzer, and all the boss Zoids.  This doesn't include a 
few dummy Zoids used in cinematic sequences, but you can actually build a few 
of them, should you choose to cheat ...

    I'm not sure whether or not a translation will be released (we can hope), 
but until then, this guide serves as a reference for fans out there who are 
playing the game.  Again, these are my translations, and therefore possibly 
inaccurate (ask me how I got from Keenitsuhi Urufu to Konig Wolf ...).

Section 2: Version History
---------------------------

    0.8 (3/11/2002): Preliminary draft.  I still haven't finished the game, 
but there's a lot of data here already.  From the message boards on Gamefaqs, 
people really want the info, so ...  Also, only the Republic Build 
Requirements are up.

    0.9 (3/13/2002): Finished the game ... I think.  Added 49 new Zoids: 
Berserk Furher Z, Berserk Furher, Blade Liger AB, Blade Liger BS, 
Buratsudeidoomon, Cannon Tortoise OS, Dark Horn HS, Death Saurer, Death 
Stinger OS, Death Stinger, Dibison TS, Elephander AG, Gator Radome S, Geno 
Haidora KA, Geno Haidora, Geno Shizaasu, Geno Trooper, Genobreaker GS, 
Genobreaker RS, Genobreaker, Genosaurer BS, Gojulas AS, Gojulas G Ooka, 
Gojulas GS, Gun Sniper NS, Gun Sniper W2, Guysack Stinger, Hammerhead VL, 
Hammerhead, Iron Kong SS, Kurobekotsu, Liger Zero X, Lightning Saix A, Mad 
Thunder, Protobreaker, Psycho Genosaurer, Redler FS, Saber Tiger GS, Saber 
Tiger RS, Salamander F2, Salamander FS, Salamander, Shield Liger BS, Spark 
Liger, Storm Furher, Super Genosaurer, Ultrasaurus, and Wardick.

Added Imperial Build Requirements, Royal Build Requirements, and Emperor's 
Troop Build Requirements sections.  Added Emperor's Troop section, hidden 
Zoids section.  Corrected the position of the Maccurtis, and the translation 
for Geno Types, Leon Service Type, Leena Service Type, Subarutsu Service 
Type, Trinity Liger BA (Burning Armor) and Command Wolf Urban Service Type.  
Added one authorization (www.cheats.de).

    1.0 (3/15/2002): Added one authorization (www.neoseeker.com).  Corrected 
Silver Liger Zero.  Added Berserk Furher Y, Brachios, Dark Spiner, Dark 
Spiner DCS, Zaber Tiger.  Corrected the Saber Tiger/Zaber Tiger distinction 
(see Miscellaneous), Subaru.  That should be every one of them (check the 
Miscellaneous section for details)!  Therefore, this is the final version of 
this list unless new information pops up ... how nice that it's version 1.0, 
ne?

    1.1 (5/14/2002): Corrected the Zaber Tiger AT, Zaber Tiger FT, and 
Lightning Saix build requirements.  Added Liger Zero conversion, Berserk 
Furher conversion, Elephander conversion.  Corrected Schubaltz, Gojulas AS, 
Redler IC, Implant Data, Kogata, Bloody Demon, Keroberos, Gojulas G Ogre, 
Gordos Long Range Attack Variant, Specular OS, Geno Hydra, Geno Scissors 
translation (the last thanks to bpcarty@unity.ncsu.edu).  Added Maximum Zoid 
count (78).  Corrected Heavenly King names.  Oh well, guess I couldn't stop 
right on version 1.0.

Section 3: Brief Zoid List

Legend:
After each type, the number in (parenthesis) indicates the total number of 
known variants.  Information in [brackets] indicates translation related 
information.  Any information in (parenthesis) after a specific Zoid data 
entry is additional information.

The Zoids are listed in the order that they appear if you enter the game menu 
(press Start), select the first option (Status), then the last option, then 
the first of the two options (Zoids).  Coincidentally, the second option

Section 4: Build Requirements / Extra Info
-------------------------------------------

    The requirements to build any Zoid you have the data for can be found 
either by entering a Zoid shop, choosing the second option (which opens the 
construction menu), and browsing, or entering the Status menu and selecting 
the fourth option (Zoid data).  Underneath that is Zoid Data Use Items, which 
are all the parts you will need to construct the various Zoids.  For some 
Zoids, you must have a previous Zoid (e.g., to construct a Command Wolf NEW, 
you merely need a Command Wolf and no additional items).  This Zoid loses all 
growth bonuses.  Also, the Battle Dress items equipped on that Zoid will be 
returned to your main stockpile, with any exceeding 9 being lost.

    You can have a maximum of 78 different Zoids at any one time.  Beyond 
that, you will not be able to build another Zoid without first selling a 
Zoid.

Section 5: Credits
-------------------

    There are several people without whose publicly available resources this 
document could have never been complied:

    crazieaznkid, for the Zoids Saga walkthrough (available at Gamefaqs, of 
course), which I used as a reference for getting through the game;

    Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com), for being the comprehensive game information 
site;

    Channel Zi (www.artvilla.com/zoids), for having a ton of Zoid 
information, which helped me identify the Zoids and properly translate the 
names;

    Jeffrey's J<->E Dictionary Server (linear.mv.com/), an excellent on-line 
dictionary;

    Tomy, for making another anime-based RPG that's so appealing;

    bpcarty@unity.ncsu.edu, for suggesting that Geno Shizaasu was Geno 
Scissors (makes a lot of sense to me);

    Ryuuhou, on the GameFAQs Zoids Saga board, for the Geno Hydra and Gojulas 
G Ogre romanization, other interesting tidbits of Zoid information, and 
generally being a well informed Zoids fan ^^;

    Everyone who has sent positive comments, encouragement, and feedback.

Section 7: Miscellaneous
-------------------------

General Notes:
Looks like this list is complete, unless I've missed something or some kind 
person wants to do a better translation (please, do!).  After exhaustive 
playing, there was a round of equally exhaustive checking and use of cheats 
to directly check the list.

Ban Service Type?:
The 'service types' represent a customized variant built for a particular 
character (or in one case, the Imperial Service Type).  Just think of them as 
'person X's custom Zoid'.  Thus, it makes sense that to build Ban's Shield 
Liger BS, you need a Shield Liger plus the Jeeku OS (that is, you need the 
organoid Jeeku).

Saber/Zaber ?? Tiger:
Okay, here's the deal on this one.  The 'base' Tiger type, the first one you 
see in the large full screen pics, is the "Saaberu Taigaa" (literal kana 
translation with long syllables doubled).  This requires one Zoid Core ZN to 
build.  Now, all the others are "Seibaa Taigaa" (again, literally 
translated).  I've chosen to call the first Saber Tiger, and the latter Zaber 
Tiger, and all the following Zoids have been renamed to fit this pattern.  
For some reason, I didn't have the Zaber Tiger, but I could build the 
Lightning Saix ... I'm not sure how that happened.  Then again, I do know 
there are some errors in the Armaments range data, so, it might be my copy of 
the game ...

(1.1): Ah, now I see.  You can use either a Saber or Zaber Tiger to construct 
the Lightning Saix, AT, or FT variants.  That's why.

Liger Zero Conversion (aka Conversion Armor System or CAS):
As in the anime, you can convert a Liger Zero variant (SC, JA, or PA) into 
any other variant.  Zoid Growth does not carry over from one form to another 
- it is reset.

Berserk Furher Conversion:
Not to be outdone, the Berserk Furher family of Zoids (Berserk Furher Y, Z, 
and the Storm Furher) are also magically interchangeable.  This is due to the 
research Blue Gem and the Emperor (not together, but separately) undertake on 
the Berserk Furher core.

Elephander Conversion:
Oh, yes, one last group - the Elephander family is ALSO interchangeable.  
(Sheesh!)  Go from SC, to AG, to CM, and back.

About the Hidden Zoids:
I call them hidden because they can be built and do have a Zoid Data entry, 
but they do not have the large status picture nor do they have a section in 
the Republic/Imperial/Royal/Emperor Zoid sections.  Since you can get a Zoid 
Core SP in the ruins, and you can build these, this does not seem to be an 
error/cheat only feature.  That Dark Spiner is fast; tied for second fastest 
land Zoid, I believe (with the Berserk Furher series).

About the Dummy Zoids:
After finding the last Zoids I was looking for, I spend some time trying to 
figure out where the game stores the Zoid Data.  It took some time, but I 
eventually found it - and proceeded to check the completeness of my list.  I 
was missing that second Imperial Tiger variant, and I can't quite figure out 
how that happened.  Anyway, there are five addresses which create non-normal 
Zoids.  Two are used during the Ban/Deathsaurer combat (Cannon Liger, 
Deathsaurer), one looks like it was removed (Double Tortoise SC).  The last 
two do not generate actual Zoids (neither does the Double Tortoise SC), but 
the Cannon Liger/Deathsaurer do have 1 HP, so they can be built/piloted.  
I've included these for the sake of completeness.
