Zoids 2 Ultrassaurus - TOMY Model

One the biggest Zoids (designed after one of the biggest dinosaurs), the Ultrasaurus is much more than a robotic attack vehicle. It´s a playset! The most recent Zoid (according to ZOIDS2 history in 1996). Watch as it walks towards battle. It´s head and neck bends and contracts, jaws open as its scary side weapons explore the sky, ready for any attack while that massive tail sweeps the ground.

Based on the Brachiosaurus sauropod dinosaur, this robot monster is yet another of TOMY´s finest creations.

Distributed in Western Europe by Giochi Preziosi, it´s one of 8 Zoids from the ZOIDS2 line and the only actual wave to reach that part of Europe in the late 90s.

A beautiful toy, if you like either robots or dinosaurs. Even if you don´t, this "animal" is still very impressive.

Chest opens to reveal a compartment with a slide to launch a small ground attack vehicle. Neck houses the radar station and operative´s cabin.

"Mind Rider" Pilot cabin. Pilot seats on a small vehicle connected to the Zoid´s head.

Rapid fire super cannons are controlled by gunners!

Launch platform with hangar (includes one fighter ship but has capacity for two).

AA battery compartment switch turns lights on, LR14 switch makes this Zoid walk forward, move the cannons up and down and tail from side to side while neck bends and contracts.

Tail and tailgunner cockpit. 2 cannons and 2 missile launchers.

The Ultrasaurus (RZ-037 ウルトラザウルス Ultra Saurus) is an Ultrasaurus-type of Zoid (also Dinosaur-Type), and one of over 200 species of bio-mechanical lifeforms depicted in TOMY's Zoids franchise.

The Ultrasaurus was created by the Helic Republic, and used during the various wars on Zi. Of the five largest Zoid models made, the Ultrasaurus mold saw the most releases.

Bigger than anything that had been previously released, the Ultrasaurus mounts a staggering array of weapons capable of leveling almost any target.

In most versions, the Zoid's main weapons are a quartet of 360mm Supercannons, similar to those used by the Gojulas. These long-ranged weapons are capable of raining down incredible destruction on targets from a great distance.

The Zoid is incredibly heavily-armored, constructed with some of the thickest armor ever mounted on any Zoid. This is a necessity, as the Ultrasaurus is ponderously slow and incredibly clumsy, unable to evade attacks. However, the Zoid's massive arsenal makes attacking it a dubious prospect at best.

The Ultrasaurus is equipped with a trio of smaller hover vehicles that can be used for reconnaissance and exploration independently of the main Zoid. Additionally, the Zoid is equipped with a sophisticated communications array, allowing it to act as a mobile command centre. The Zoid is amphibious, capable of operating both on land and in water, and can be completely submerged if required.

Battle Story Appearances

This section is about the events in Battle Story, which is primarily in Japanese. Information in this section may require additional citations.

The Ultrasaurus was first deployed in ZAC 2039 and was used by the Republic to devastating effect. The Zoid's massive firepower allowed it to smash through the Zenebas Empire's forces, routing their armies and allowing the Republic to take the Zenebas capital. In the process of a few months, the Ultrasaurus was able to end a war that had lasted for over fifty years.

When the Zenebas Empire returned in ZAC 2042, they were prepared for the Zoid. The Empire had developed the massive Deathsaurer, a Zoid created specifically to destroy the Ultrasaurus. With its thick armor, the Deathsaurer was able to wade through the Ultrasaurus' fire, then destroy the Zoid with a single blast from its Charged Particle Cannon. Much of the Ultrasaurus force was wiped out; the rest fell back to the Eastern end of the continent.

Following the deployment of the Madthunder, the Ultrasaurus was largely relegated to support duties. However, with the invasion of the Dark Continent of Nyx, the Zoids were used to transport troops to the continent. Many were lost to the Heldigunners and Deadborders that protected the Guylos Empire's coasts. Most of the surviving Zoids were destroyed during the meteor disaster of ZAC 2056.

Only a single Ultrasaurus (belonging to President Helic) survived, and it was kept in reserve by the Helic Republic. After the revival of the Deathsaurer in ZAC 2099, the remaining Ultrasaurus was reactivated and pressed into action. Given immense long-range cannons to bombard the enemy, the Ultrasaurus (in the form of Ultrasaurus The Destroyer) was essential in forcing back the Guylos Forces on the Western Continent.

The Ultrasaurus was then converted into a transporter ("Ultrasaurus The Carrier") and used during the Republic's invasion of the Dark Continent. En route to the continent, the Zoid and its accompanying Hover Cargos were attacked by a force of Sinkers and fled into Triangle Daras. They managed to reach the Dark Continent safely with the help of mysterious new Zoids, only to be faced by the Eisen Dragoon.

Media Appearances

The first appearance of the Ultrasaurus is in the later episodes of Zoids: Guardian Force. The Ultrasaurus was part of a combined military project between the Republic and the Guylos Empire, instigated at the same time as the Guardian Force itself, although the Zoid's existence was known to the Republic for roughly ten years prior. In the event of a devastating attack against one of the two nations by a mutual enemy, the Ultrasaurus would lead the Republican branch of the retaliatory offensive. When the Death Stinger, under the control of the Ancient Zoidian named Hiltz, destroyed the Republic's capital, New Helic City, this plan was put into action. All available and surviving Republican forces were withdrawn to the Republic base at Wyndine Lake. Upon arrival, the survivors were loaded into the Ultrasaurus, which then departed for a secret weapons research base in the Empire.

The Zoid was only armed with anti-air and anti-torpedo defense weapons upon its activation, requiring the visit to the Imperial base to receive its primary armament. Rather than receiving the standard quad Supercannons, the Zoid was armed with a single, massive Gravity Cannon. This weapon had a caliber of sixteen meters, and fired shells that create an intense localized gravitational field on impact.

The Ultrasaurus's Gravity Cannon succeeded in fatally damaging the Death Stinger, but was ineffective against the revived Death Saurer, which crippled the Ultrasaurus with its Charged Particle Cannon. As a last-ditch measure, the heavily damaged Zoid fired Van's Blade Liger out of the Gravity Cannon, which succeeded in destroying the Death Saurer.

New Century

An Ultrasaurus wreck was the finish line of the Royal Cup. This specific Zoid was apparently equipped with the same Gravity Cannon used against the Death Stinger and Death Saurer in the final episodes of Zoids: Guardian Force.

Other Ultrasauruses were used by the Zoid Battle Commission in Zoids: New Century as mobile command centers to monitor and control battles. These Ultrasauruses mounted four smaller cannons - the weapons configuration seen on the Ultrasaurus model, but scaled up in size (see Size Discrepancy below). The only time when an Ultrasaurus did any fighting was when one of Harry's Whale King is stolen and ended up facing an Ultrasaurus, which easily defeats the Whale King. The ZBC Ultrasaurus was also seen utilizing a shield to protect itself from a Charged Particle Cannon blast.

The Ultrasaurus portrayed in the anime series' is orders of magnitude larger than that of the Battle Story. Though the animation is inconsistent. No actual measurement for the Zoid itself is given in the series. Different sections of the anime show it being depicted at different sizes. Several references to the general size of the Zoid are given:

The Gravity Cannon barrel is described as being some 50 meters in length in episode 61.

Fifty large Zoids could feasibly fit into the hangar shown in the series. The Western dub implies that there are several more such hangars.

The two aircraft catapults on the flight deck are capable of launching a pair of Storm Sworders in very close succession.

This discrepancy has led to a misconception that the Ultrasaurus model kit is equally large, with the stated size of the model being at least equal to a large car.

The Ultrasaurus appears in the various Zoids video games, including the Zoids Saga games as well as in the Zoids Versus series. The most significant of these appearances is when an Ultrasaurus is used by Terra Geist as the final Empire-campaign boss in Zoids Battle Legends.
