- Official Fan Book 4 Update!



 Official Fan Book 4 has received its next and final update! This includes the BLOX segment at the end of the book which looks over BLOX lore, history, the various kits, and functionality that developed over time. There's also a final epilogue page featuring a touch more of the story.

- Avenge of Proitzen Added!



 Avenge of Proitzen, a sort of "3.5" book that came out with the Zoid Core Box before OFB4 was released has also been added to the Official Fan Books page! The story segment is more or less the same as OFB4 so has been excluded from the book's page. The additional images can be found at the start, and all remaining book content (the fact files for Helic, Guylos, and Zenebas Zoids) has already been posted. This includes basic stats and descriptions for kits that didn't get to get profiles in OFB4, such as some of the Yuji Kaida Zoids and some of the customized model kits.

 From here it's finally time to move on to the Zoids Battle Story books, which many of you will know better as the "OJR" Battle Story! Work on this is already underway, and there'll be another news post once a solid update / section is prepared for it.

- Zoids Official Fan Books



 Zoids Official Fan Book 4 has been updated! This includes profiles for the various Zoids that appeared throughout the book. We now also have a complete stats file for the combat ratings of each Zoid, so there's plenty to cross compare. Both Guylos and Zenebas get organization charts. After this, there's just one more short section of the book to go! Then we'll circle around and do some profiles for Revenge of Proitzen.

- Official Fan Book 4 Update!



 After a long pause, we're back! Official Fan Book 4 has updated once more! This update includes everything on the Republic side, from the overall Zoid profiles, to the organization chart, to the long-awaited stat tables which rate each Zoid's specific capabilities, such as how they operate in various terrain, and how their weapons rank in overall power. Next will be the Empire side!

- Official Fan Book 4 Update!



 After a period of silence during a cross country move, I'm ready to jump back into projects, starting with Official Fan Book 4! I know a lot of people have been reading up on this story lately and I wanted to thank everyone for waiting patiently while I get everything sorted out.

 Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of OFB 4 are now available, concluding the main story segment of the book. As the story nears its end, Wolff Muroa and the Eisen Dragoons invade Delpoi under the flag of the Neo Zenebas Empire. President Camford must face the stark realities of the war she has so been fighting so desperately, while the Republic makes a last-ditch effort to save their leadership.

- Official Fan Book Update!



 As we near the end of the story segment, Chapter 6 of Official Fan Book 4 has been added! The Dark Continent War is ending, but as Hermann stands on the battlefield, he has a startling realization of what this vicious fight was for. We have 3 more chapters of this book!


Books Official Fan Book Site2023-06-22 09:11:58

- Official Fan Book 4 Update!



 Zoids Official Fan Book Volume 4 Chapter 5 is now available! In this chapter, Death Saurer watches TV two emperors confront one another as the darker context of Prozen's ambitions come to light. What does this mean for the rise of the Neo Zenebas Empire?

 One chapter may seem like a short update, but don't worry, the next should be up within a week or so. I just wanted to push this one alongside these updates because it was already done.


Books Official Fan Book Site2023-06-18 08:43:55

- Official Fan Book 4 Update!



 Official Fan Book 4 has been updated with Chapters 3 and 4! In these chapters, Prozen's sinister plans really start to kick off, but it isn't over yet. The Republic has their own old war machine to fall back on.

 Starting with this chapter the OFBs will also use the large full-width images for the primary page images. In addition, each section of the page will no longer be split up based on their page number in the physical copy of the books. This forces images to appear out of sequence. Instead, the headers will be dispersed over major images in the story (the main page graphics), hopefully providing a more natural reading flow while keeping things less cluttered overall. This change has not yet been applied retroactively to earlier books.


Books Official Fan Book Site2023-02-19 22:26:12

- Official Fan Book 4 Begins!


 We've got the first block of Zoids Official Fan Book 4 now available! This includes the Prologue, Nyx Map, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2. Some familiar characters make a return in this volume, and this time around, the two armies must contend with an invisible enemy far more deadly than any Helcat.

 With this update there were also some minor changes to how the books are formatted. For starters, each complete book will now include a full navigation at the bottom of each page. The Fan Books contain a lot of information and this will hopefully help people skip between sections while looking for something without needing to go back to the index page and open tons of tabs.

 The next change is that all of the little thumbnail images throughout the story sections have been placed beside the text. This may still be subject to change. However, print media can be limited on where and how it can place images, often resulting in images that, when reading in web format, often result in spoilers for what happens next. These limitations don't exist in a pageless web format, so I wanted the images to be located closest to their relevant text, as was done for Zoids Generations (Not forgotten, updates coming soon!)



Books Official Fan Book Site2022-09-27 13:39:30

- Official Fan Book 3 Update!


 The final installment of Official Fan Book 3, the Zoids Remodeling Project 2 chapter has been added. This chapter gives a look at the various Zoid variations featured throughout the Battle Story or associated with its universe (including some of particular public interest, like Liger Zero Mariner, Death Stinger KFD, and more) as well as a few that aren't directly featured. It also shows off some of the Customize Parts that were being released at the time.

 This brings Book 3 to a close. There's going to be a considerable break between this and the start of Book 4 as I work on all the prep-work that goes into getting everything set up (scanning, organizing, patching together double page spreads, etc.) Thank you for your continued patience in the meantime!



Books Official Fan Book Site2022-08-16 17:33:00

- Official Fan Book 4 Update!


 The next segment of Official Fan Book 4 is now available! The AD2002 section takes a look at some upcoming products (from the time), some old products, and provides some the insights about how and why certain products game into existence, such as the SS (Super Small) and BLOX kits. It also includes mention of another theoretical, but ultimately unreleased product: Scaled down versions of the 1/72 motorized model kits! Imagine if we could've had a small, more affordable Mad Thunder?



Books Official Fan Book Site2022-08-15 17:33:45

- Official Fan Book 3 Update!


 First, as we get back into the swing of things, there's a new update for Official Fan Book 3! It now includes the Guylos Empire Battle Machine Beast Corps, a description of several newer Zoids of the Empire, the Imperial Army Ace Pilot Directory (with translations courtesy of Falcarius!), and the Imperial Army Organization Chart. That just leaves the upcoming & custom Zoids and the product info for this book!

(You may also notice that the book section has changed to include all book series on one page! We hope that this will make it easier to find what you're looking for.)

- Zoids Official Fan Book Volume 3 Update!


 Today we've got another update to Zoids Official Fan Book 3! It has been quite a while since the last update, but that's not for nothing. Over the past couple months I've been working on completing all of the image editing for the entirety of Fan Book 3. Cleaning up images, adjusting colors, and patching together double page spreads. This will make the rest of the process go much faster! In the mean time, Chapter 3 and 4 introduces the final forms of the Republic's Liger Zero CAS Units, pitted against the monstrous Death Stinger KFD!



Books Official Fan Book Site2021-06-19 12:38:05

- Official Fan Book Volume 3 Update!


 You can now read Chapter 1 of Zoids Official Fan Book 3 in the books section! This has been a highly anticipated chapter following Ray Gregg and his Shield Liger DCS-J, and was featured in a couple of the more recent HMM box arts. So give it a read if you want to see the origin of the HMM box art!

- Official Fan Book Volume 3 Update!


 We've officially begun work on Zoids Official Fan Book 3! With a tiny update to start with. Everything before the first chapter, which includes some rather cool images from the poster double-page spreads, the prologue, etc.



Books Official Fan Book Site2021-02-21 01:49:17

- Official Fan Book Volume 2 Update!


 Official Fan Book 2 has updated with the final 3 chapters! This includes the Zoids Remodeling Project, which features a huge number of custom Zoids, including some that didn't appear in the story itself, but may still be familiar, like Climber Wolf and Spark Liger! It also features a Strength Comparison Chart for a huge number of Zoids that've appeared in the story thus far. We've put this in image format and in text format, for the sake of viewing convenience. And with that, Fan Book 2 is all wrapped up! I'll be moving on to Fan Book 3 very soon, and thank you so much to everyone who has been reading along thus far!



Books Official Fan Book Site2021-02-07 05:11:19

- Official Fan Book Volume 2 Update!


 A new chapter has been added to Official Fan Book 2. This Chapter, Super Scoop!!, discusses the next generation Zoids, including the birth of CAS-focused units like the Liger Zero, as well as products leading up to it, like the Elephander, one of the first Zoids to introduce CAS-like gear. It also goes over some of the products released during that time, such as the large DX playsets.
