Whitz Wolf

This article is about the Zoid found in the "Three Tigers" story. For the similarly modelled, but otherwise separate, Genesis-line Zoid, see Sword Wolf

The Whitz Wolf (also known as the Rez Tiger) is a Wolf-type Zoid, one of over 200 mechanical lifeforms depicted by TOMY's Zoids model, toy, and media franchise. The versions of the Zoid inhabit their own, separate continuities; Whitz Wolf in the Three Tigers Battle Story and Rez Wolf (in-story) or Rez Tiger (model) in the Zoids: Generations limited edition model line.

Overview

The Whitz Wolf is a Wolf-type Zoid, created by the ZOITEC Corporation. It is a Fuzor, designed to merge with Savinga and form the Whitz Tiger.

A formidable Zoid in its own right, the Whitz Wolf is very fast and agile, comparable to the Liger Zero. Its triple ion boosters give it tremendous acceleration, as well as the ability to leap long distances and fly short distances. The Zoid also carries a pair of long-range beam cannons which give it a reasonable offensive punch. The Whitz Wolf is not heavily armored, it has no need for armor since it is a artillary unit.

Battle Story appearances

Of the three legendary Tiger Zoid cores discovered by ZOITEC and Zi-Arms, the Whitz Wolf was the first Zoid to enter service in ZAC 2230. Unable to fully reconstruct the Whitz Tiger in a single Zoid, they developed the Whitz Wolf and Savinga separately, later combing them with BLOX technology.

Media appearances

Video Games

Whitz Wolf was noticeably absent from the Zoids VS III game which featured Rayse Tiger and Decalt Dragon. However, it was seen later in Zoids Saga DS and Zoids Saga Online.

Trading Cards

The Whitz Wolf was released as part of the Zoids Scramble set of Zoids Trading Cards. The Sword wolf was also released as part of the Zoids Scramble line.

Models

This section only briefly describes the releases of Whitz Wolf. For more details on its releases, especially those packaged with the Savinga, see the Savinga and Whitz Tiger articles.

New Japanese Release

• 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 Whitz Wolf kit comes on five frames, along with a battery-powered motor, a canopy, eight rubber caps, a small grey pilot, a display stand, and label sheets. The Whitz Wolf is moulded in white, grey and metallic blue, with a translucent orange canopy and purple caps.

The Whitz Wolf’s construction isn’t overly complex or difficult, putting it roughly in the middle of the range for Zoid complexity. Unlike other new-release battery-operated Zoids, the Whitz Wolf has only single-piece legs, similar to Grade Ups Zoids like the Houndsoldier. The Zoid uses a single "AA" sized battery for motion. Once activated, the Zoid walks forwards while the cannons on the back reciprocate. The "back pack" used for Whitz Wolf's pair of guns can be exchanged for Deathraser's and fully function. Rayse Tiger can also be equipped with this pack and the guns will move as well.

This Zoid can combine with Savinga to make Whitz Tiger. It also can be combined with Transhawk. It can also be used as an upgrade for Rayse Tiger.

The Whitz Wolf was the first motorised Zoid released in 2004, and the second last Republic Zoid released for the New Japanese Release.
