Ah, Amaterasu Origin of all that is good and mother to us all ☀️

Zoids Wild Hunter Wolf custom

Another Ammy themed custom Zoid, I thought it'd be fun to revisit the idea with the more organic shapes of the Hunter Wolf! The original Command Wolf Amaterasu was done ~12 years ago

Development History of the Command Wolf

And the zoids that came from it, which the internet at large seem to have forgot.

I'll note here that the following took place on the continent of Delpoi according to the Zoids Bible lore book, making this zoids a separate species than the later Konig Wolf, which originate on the continent of Europa.

This role will later be filled by the Shadow Fox after the Liger Zero becomes the primary infantry zoids of the Helic Republic. (Source: https://theironbible.com/ZoidBooks/OfficialFanBook/1-9.php)

I adore the HMM boxes because that have the most complete breakdown of technical details I have ever seen. Source & further lore: https://theironbible.com/ZoidsModelKits/HMM/CommandWolf.php

From the base models we get several variants, from the very well-known Irvine custom and the Command Wolf AC:

And Of course Town Wolf:

Blitzer and Climber Wolf:

The Blitzer Wolf was actually the creation of one Yusuke Chiba has an entry in the 2nd CoroCoro Zoids Remodeling Grand Prix which was held in 11/2000 and won the wind-up category. The Blitzer Wolf, like the motorized winner, Death Stinger KFD, were featured in the Zoids Official Fan Book 3 and the wolf was also added to the card game.

Now moving onto the unused concepts, firstly comes:

This fuselage was apparently intended to compete with the Imperial Lightning Saix, but the power demands on the core were too high and it was scrapped after several unsuccessful prototypes were tested. (Source: https://theironbible.com/IndexZoids/CommandWolfMKIIConcept.php)

Now for my absolute favorite, that I really wish had been a kit or action figure at some point:

The bigger, more complex looking armored legs, the claws, the overall more advanced armor and segments that make up the neck and torso, the close combat focus

unfortunately this wolf never featured in a story or merchandise, and it's only official appearance was in the pages of Dengeki Hobby Magazine, January 2002's Smack Zoids! B-Part. In universe it was apparently declared impractical due to its close combat focus and never saw mass production. Boo!mo

And now for my absolute least enjoyed entry in the Command Wolf development chronicles:

I have no damnable clue how two additional heads were meant to either fold-up and deploy from inside this thing, or be attached via the hangar/transport/whatever. don't like the heads gimmick, don't like the weapons pack, glad it got canned.
