Overview

The Power Mammoth is the first in a new line of Blox Zoids created for the Guylos Empire. Though its entirely new designation scheme hints at some revolutionary new aspect to the Power Mammoth and its sister Zoid the Power Mantis, so little is known about these Zoids that it is impossible to speculate as to what that might be.

Like all Blox, it can merge with other Zoids to form more powerful combinations.

Models

Z-Builders

  • 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 Power Mammoth comes on seven sprues in various kinds of grey, tan and blue, including a sprue of pins designed to look like standard medium-sized rubber caps. It does not include any actual caps. It also comes with two Blox (silver Core and black "land", both original-style Imperial), a standard blue Imperial pilot and several rubber bands.

Although sold as a Z-Builders kit, most of the Power Mammoth is a single, non-modular assembly, with the Blox seemingly included solely to allow interaction with other Blox kits. Construction is quite complex, especially for its size. The final Zoid is non-motorized and somewhat articulated, but its main play feature is a gimmick driven by its rubber bands: when the Power Mammoth's tail is pushed down, its ears tilt back and its trunk thrusts forward.

Power Mammoth's box identifies it as BZ-101, a number shared with Missile Tortoise; the stickers on the actual kit itself identify it as PZ-001.

Power Mammoth and Power Mantis are often referred to by fans as "Power Zoids" due to their names and PZ-00x designation numbers, although this terminology does not seem to have been explicitly used by Hasbro anywhere. (Hasbro referred to them in sales literature as "Deluxe Z-Builders".) Neither model made an actual appearance in the US, instead appearing almost exclusively through liquidation in the UK more than a year after their planned release. A third solicited "Power Zoid", Power Kong, was never released, and probably never proceeded beyond the prototype stage.

Power Mammoth has never received a Japanese release.
