what would you think if they made zoid transformers

I was going to say that it's kind of a moot point since they're made by different companies. Then I remembered that Zoids are a Tomy thing, so they're kinda related now.

I don't think it's a new idea (in that I'm sure it's been suggested before), but it's a good one. I have seen one or two Zoid-based kitbashes before, but I do like the idea of Zoids-style model kits that you build into transforming robots. Especially if they're motorised too...

I imagine it may be possible, but very difficult to engineer.

The only possibly way to fit zoids into Transformers is thru Beast Wars. But they had to undergo severe modifications to pass the audition.

imagin a Gojulas Giga megatron

Isn't Classics Grimlock Zoid-like?

Zoid has this compartment for pilots.

say what

I think he's trying to say that Zoids have little compartments where a human pilot could sit and control the Zoid.

Which when you think about it isn't really a stretch. I mean some of the Beast Wars TMII TFs had little pilot's seats (Megatron, Tigerhawk, OpOp I think) as well...

I think Zoid Transformers would be awesome, personally. And since Takara and Tomy merged, it could happen...

they could have the compartment be a spark chamber

Pardon my Zoids ignorance, but wasn't there a sorta transforming Zoid in Zoids:Fuzors, I only saw that one part of that one ep, but in this part a bird-type Zoid turned its wings into legs and feet, now I know thats not really a transformation, but still they had the classic warp-space background when he did this, and it was a bit more than it just folding its wings down, other bits moved round too, but I can't really remember

do you mean the Liger Zero Phoenix or the Liger Zero Falcon

Na is wasn't a fusion (as far as I could tell), this bird zoid was with a group of wild zoids, and all you saw was it in the air, then transform, then walking on the ground!

Again this is all I can remember, though i might not have remembered it quite right, it was a few years ago that I saw this, and I wasn't very familiar with Zoids (to be honest I'm still not).

That would either make me very happy, or I would go bonkers with it all! The best thing about the Zoids line was the making of the toy, very Lego-esque.

I'd say that Takara Tomy would look at the idea for a few minutes, then put it in the "too hard" box.
