Bio Kentro is a Stegosaur (Kentrosaurus) type Zoid, one of over 200 species of biomechanical lifeforms depicted by TOMY's Zoids model, toy, and media franchise. The Bio Kentro is unique to the Zoids: Genesis anime and the related Genesis model line, and is one of the Bio Zoids used by the antagonists.
Overview
A commander type Bio-Zoid based on a Kentrosaurus, the Bio-Kentro shares a similar frame as the Bio-Tricera. Unlike most Bio-Zoids, the Bio-Kentro doesn't seem to have a flame cannon housed in its mouth.
Although most of its weapons are designed for close ranged combats, the Bio-Kentro does have weapons for long range attacks. The spikes on its back can be launched as missiles and have great homing ability; they can also be regenerated indefinitely. These projectiles can either explode on impact or merely stab enemies. A blade on Bio-Kentro's back, known as a backlance, allows it to attack via swinging its tail. However, its main weapon are the Beast Slayers, a pair of large blades mounted on its forelegs. The Beast Slayers are resistant to metal Zi weaponry and very long, making it difficult to penetrate the Zoid in close range combat.
Media Appearances
Anime
Like all bio Zoids, the Kentro only appears in the Zoids Genesis anime.
The Bio Kentro first appears in episode 24 where it defeats three Shadow Foxes with ease. The Zoid's specialty is close range combat and is seen for the most part fighting against the Hayate Liger's.
The first Bio-Kentro was piloted by Digald's prodigious pilot, Souta. Souta was a deadly enemy, and the Bio Kentro, with two large lances, was able to outmanoeuvre the Murasame Liger, and overpower the Hayate Liger. It was during these battles, that Ruuji realised the shortcomings of his Zoid. He needed the power of the Murasmae's large sword, without compromising the dual attacks of the Hayate Liger. This realisation, ultimately caused the Mugen Liger to appear, and with it the Bio Kentro was defeated. One of the Beast Slayers was later used by Souta, and served as a lance in a modified Lanstag. With Souta's experiences of the Bio-Kentro, the Zoid entered mass production and played a major role in the final battle. The mass produced Bio-Kentros left Deadly Kong immobilized with their spikes as it tried to shield Kotona's Rainbow Jark from imminent destruction.
