- Notable Facts


  • At the beginning of the episode, communications cut out, thought to be because of the sand storm. Fine thinks there's something else at work, implying the Gordos GPS may be able to jam communications as well.

  • Thoma uses an electromagnetic net to capture Sieg after mistaking him for Ambient. This happened after Sieg saved a couple of children from a speeding cart, getting doused in red paint in the process. Fine, unable to get the paint off, decided to even it out across the entire body instead.

  • The bandits in the episode were demanding that all villagers leave by the end of the week.

  • After an arms agreement between the Republic and the Empire, Thoma received his Dibison as part of the mutual weapons exchange program.

  • The Schwarz family has put their own lives on the line to protect the Empire for generations.

  • The Dibison has the firepower of three Zoids.

  • Thoma utilizes an artificial intelligence known as BEEK, which he compares to a man-made Organoid, superior to the original. This system was developed to help him in battle, and handles a wide variety of tasks. The gun that Thoma carries with him is a part of this system, and connects to the central processor. Once Thoma is ready to mobilize, a helmet connected to cables comes down on his head. He can tip the glass visor up to prompt it to withdraw back into the back rest section..

  • The poles utilized by the Godos GPS Spec. are magnetic induction weapons developed by the Empire, but evidently still in development at the time of the episode. They create a magnetic field that bends projectiles back around towards the enemy.
