As both english releases were under the name Giant ZRK, I feel this page should be renamed to that in lieu of a citation to the contrary. Slax01 08:25, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
Concerning Bigasauru, if we change the name, the entire overview would be about the wrong varient. And the game section and the whole Battle Story part (citation the Bigasaru page). Now, I own a Giant ZRK made here in the US (citation, English name, the Printed in California on back of instructions and slight box difference from UK), it's a lovely model, awesome movement but, aside from a worn out box saying "it will lumber along" and "send chills up your spine" there isn't much info about it. The UK Giant ZRK has some backstory, yes but are the weapon names, weight, height, depth and Max speed cited from Giant ZRK or Bigasauru? No. Is the faction (Helic republic, not Blue Zoid) cited from Bigasauru or ZRK? Aside from it's minor character appearnces in the UK comic is there is not much we can say about Giant ZRK, going off the basis that we refer to a specific varient by it's proper name. Now, which has more priority around here, minor/secondary roles (ZRK in Comics) or detailed Zoids used for a specified time and type of combat (Bigasauru in Battle Story) with appearances in other media like video games?
Of coarse, if you re-do the page to better fit the OAR and OER varient and put the OJR Bigasuaru as just the Japenese version with some interesting story I would have no arguement. Good luck finding citations on those stats. tildetildetildesquiggle
I want the Title changed, not the content. Slax01 21:36, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
So you want to call the page Giant ZRK but leave the page all about the Bigasauru except a paragraph or two? I think I have to agree with squiggle about this, it's confusing for newcomers and doesn't make much sense. Actually, I quite like his (or her) idea that ZRK is a variant and belongs under Bigasauru.

But the Title leads to Zoid in question. Putting Giant ZRK served under the helic repubic is wrong. Having the overview , stats and media appearance about Bigasaru on a page title Giant ZRK is unfitting. Even the List of Zoids has Bigasauru's number, ZRK has no number. The page is mainly about Bigasauru so why title it ZRK?
Aw, beat me to it. Tildetildetildesquiggle
At first I agreed with Slax, but now I realize it is a bad idea. As said above, all of this pages info revolves around the OJR Bigasaur (which isn't much) so naming it Giant Zrk would be pointless. The page will remain as" Bigasaur"
Also, do we have any citations for" Bigasauru"? If not then all mentions of it will be deleted.

And this is what happens..... Bigasaur is the popular but wrong name. Bigasauru is what is on the OJR box.
See this is what happens when people get so caught up in trying to prove a point that they loose sight of what is being said: I want a citation for the name, because currently, I do not have any reliable information about the Zoid's release, aside from "Giant ZRK" was in english and "BIGASAURU" was in japanese. But then I get comments like "it will lumber along" and "send chills up your spine" referring to Giant ZRK, when images on the net have this under the "Bigasauru" name. And then there's images like this which has different boxart, despit apparently the article claiming it to have only one release under that name. For all I know, both of these could be fan-made photoshops. That's why I'm asking for a citation. People can freak out however they want, but it'd really help if they made informed comments first.

...um, since when are photos of the box art not a citation? OAR and OER boxes say "Giant Zrk", NJR box (by the way, those are the front and back of the same box) says "Bigasauru". The katakana spelling given for Bigasauru is ビガザウロ, which is also used in catalogs, Battle Story material and video games (without an English spelling next to it). Giant Zrk is used in the UK comics. Notice that the Bigasauru gets stats, plus Battle Story and video game appearances, but the Giant Zrk doesn't. Cheironyx 02:10, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
