Lanstag is a Moose-type Zoid, one of over 200 species of biomechanical lifeforms depicted by TOMY's Zoids model, toy, and media franchise. The Lanstag is unique to the Zoids: Genesis anime and the related Genesis model line, and is one of the seven protagonist Zoids.

Overview

The Lanstag has a Metal Zi lance and large antlers which can crush Zoids caught in its grasp. It also has a spiked shield over its left shoulder that can extend outwards to block attacks. Fast and mobile, it can also use its lance to pole-vault over walls.

Battle story appearances

The Lanstag is an ancient Zoid from the Era of Technology primarily used as cavalry by Ra-Kan's soldiers.

Media appearances

Genesis

Numerous Lanstag appeared in the show. Lanstags were present in Kida-Han's army while Zuuri managed to salvage numerous Lanstag. Zuuri's Lanstag are all under the command of Ra Kan.

The Lanstag Break was the upgraded form of Mii's Lanstag. Its front antlers were replaced with tougher and larger versions. These improved antlers could easily grab and crush a Bio Raptor, and they could take a blow from the Bio Volcano and survive intact.

Piloted by Re Mii. Souta, the ex-pilot of the Bio Kentro, will later pilot a Lanstag with the yellow parts replaced by silvery green and the lance substituted by one of the beast slayer blades of Bio Kentro.

• 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 Lanstag kit comes in five plastic sprues, accesories, one blue pilot, a sticker sheet and an instruction manual.

The kit does not need batteries and is powered by an internal flywheel similar to that in the Gravity Zoids. When built the model's head and horns can be manually positioned. The kit can be upgraded by the Twinkle Breaker custom part found in the Power Up Parts Set B.

The Lanstag Break was the first limited edition release of the Zoid, first made available on January 26 2006.

Lanstag Mass Production Type

The Lanstag Mass Production Type was the second limited edition release of the Zoid, appearing on 29 April 2006.
