The Mosasledge is a Mosasaurus type of Zoid from the fictional Zoids universe. One of over 200 species of biomechanical life forms that provide the basis for TOMY’s model kit, anime, and comic based Zoids franchise.

Overview

The Mosasledge is a Mosasaurus-type Zoid used by the Helic Republic.

The third Blox Zoid, the Mosasledge is capable of rearranging its structure to combine with other Blox or Zoids, primarily Leoblaze, Unenlagia and Nightwise, and together they can form the Matrix Dragon.

Battle Story appearances

Media Appearances

Anime

Fuzors

The Savage Hammer team formed a squad consisting of a Unenlagia, Mosasledge and Nightwise. They intended to create the Matrix Dragon Fuzor, but required the Leoblaze owned by Mach Storm to complete the Zoid. Matt's Leoblaze was stolen and re-registered to Team Savage Hammer, and efforts by the characters to have it returned resulted in an unofficial battle between the two teams. During the battle, the pilots of the Matrix Dragon turned on Savage Hammer, using the Fuzor to fight both R.D.'s Liger Zero Phoenix and Blake's Buster Fury.

The Matrix Dragon was destroyed by the Energy Liger, with all four of its component Zoids being written off.

Video Games

The Mosasledge was featured in Zoids Legacyasaseparate Zoid, capable of both limited flight and swimming. Its main purpose was to fuze into Matrix Dragon with Unenlagia, Nightwise, and Leoblaze. Mosasledge was also featured as part of the Matrix Dragon in the Zoids VS series, but was not a separate Zoid. It's wings and missiles were available as a weapon for some other Zoids, called the 'Mosa Missile'.

Trading Cards

The Mosasledge was featured as part of the Zoids Scramble release of Zoids Trading Cards. Matrix Dragon was also featured in Zoids Scramble.

Models

The Mosasledge is a component Zoid of the Matrix Dragon Fuzor. See the Matrix Dragon article for appearances of the Mosasledge as a component of the larger model

Blox

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 Mosasledge comes on three frames, along with a frame of connector pegs (that is shared with several other Blox Zoids), three black Blox, one silver Core Blox, a canopy cover, a grey pilot and label sheets. The Mosasledge is molded in aqua green with clear orange eyes and canopy.

The Mosasledge's construction is relatively simple and straightforward, like most Blox. The Zoid is not motorized, but it is very flexible, and can be manually posed.

The Mosasledge was released in 2001, with production continuing until 2004.

Z-Builders

The Mosasledge was released as a part of the Z-Builders line by Hasbro. This version was identical to the Blox version, save for packaging.

The Mosasledge was also released in very limited numbers as a part of the New Pacific Release.

Fuzors

The Mosasledge was released as part of the Fuzors line. There were no physical changes to the model. The Zoid also included a custom sticker sheet to reflect its Team Mach Storm allegiance.
