The Deadborder is one of the “Dark” Zoids that use a special power source. The Zoids cores are bonded to a material found only on the Dark Continent of Nyx. This allows them to absorb light and heat into their bodies and convert it into power for their weapons systems. As a result, while the Deadborder is only a mid-sized Zoid, it is devastatingly powerful. The Dark Zoids give off a distinctive green glow from their power plant and other components. Its most powerful weapons are its dual Gravity Cannons, which use gravity to destroy opponents by crushing them. The Deadborder’s cannons are seen to lift and crush a Deathsaurer and are used to throw an Ultrasaurus. The Deadborder boasts numerous other weapons, giving it a considerable arsenal. Backing these up are its fearsome claws and teeth. Because the Zoidans native to the Dark Continent are very sensitive to bright light, the Deadborder’s cockpit is covered by a specialised shield that protects the pilot. == Battle Story appearances == The Deadborder first appeared in approx ZAC 2051 when forces from the Guylos Empire attacked the Central continent. The Dark Zoid’s power sources had a detrimental effect on the environment around them, causing plants to wilt, animals to die, rivers to dry up and the very ground itself to crack. The Deadborder spearheaded the assaults, being used to attack both the Zenebas Empire and Hellic Republic’s forces. A Deadborder was responsible for killing Emperor Zenebas, as well as the capture of Stroemer. Deadborders were also used to defend the Dark Continent against the Hellic invasion of Nyx. While the Hellic forces were able to eventually push past the Guylos defenders, thy suffered heavy casualties in the process. The Guylos army, however, were able to force the Helic forces into an eighteen month stalemate in the Devil’s Maze. All existing Deadborders were destroyed when a meteor struck Zi in ZAC 2056. The destruction of much of the Dark Continent and the changes to Zi destroyed the sources of the ores needed for the Zoid’s power sources. As a result, no new Deadborders can be created, and the type is effectively extinct. == Anime/Manga appearances == The Deadborder’s sole anime appearance was in Episode 20 of Zoids Fuzors. A Deadborder (specifically, in the ‘Battle Rex’ colours) appeared briefly at the start of the episode, probably for less then 30 seconds. Interestingly enough, the Zoid had a 3D computer model, despite never appearing before or again. Deadborders also appeared in the Gameboy colour game Jashin Fukkatsu! Geno Breaker Hen. == Models and toys == === 1/72 scale model kit === *Assembly required. (Snap-together, no glue needed. Scissors or X-acto knife recommended for trimming off excess plastic bits.) *The model's colours are moulded into the plastic, and it does not need any paint. The Deadborder kit comes on four frames, along with a battery-powered motor, a semi-transparent frame, sixteen rubber caps (two different sizes), a frame of rubber tubes, a small chromed pilot and label sheets. The Deadborder is moulded in flat black, dark grey and neon green. The neon green frames, the motor and the stickers all glow in the dark. The Deadborder’s construction is not overly complicated or simple, putting it roughly in the middle of the range for Zoid complexity. The Deadborder uses a single “AA” sized battery for motion. Once activated, the Zoid walks forwards, its arms waving and jaws chomping. The Deadborder’s back cannons can be manually positioned. No specific extra weapons were made for the Deadborder. The Deadborder model was first released in 1989 with production continuing until about 1990. A limited run of the model was released in 1998 prior to the re-launch of the Zoids line. This version is identical to the original, save for the colour of the tubes, and comes in near-identical packaging. Hasbro planned to release their own version of the Deadborder, renamed the Battle Rex, in North America as a part of their Zoids line in 2004. The Battle Rex was substantially recoloured, being primarily metallic green with black highlights and an orange canopy. However, due to the cancellation of the Zoids line, the Battle Rex was never released and probably never entered production. A sole prototype found its way into the hands of a private collector. Theis prototype had several moulding flaws, indicating that the original Deadborder mould may have been damaged or lost, and the mould had been recreated by Hasbro. AnimeZoids
