Zoids: New Century Zero
ZOIDS NEW CENTURY ZERO!
There is a significant gap between the events of Zoids: Chaotic Century
and Zoids New Century Zero (between 400 and 4000 years, but 1000 years
is the usually accepted figure). Zoids are no longer used for warfare;
instead the combative natures of both Zoids and humans are focused and
contained by a series of battle-competitions and tournaments, run by
the Zoid Battle Commission.

the Zoid Battle Commission.The Zoids Battle Commission seems to be a significant power on Zi, fielding a considerable arsenal of armed Zoids, orbital platforms serviced by their own launch facilities as well as orbital based weapons systems. It is not made clear in the series if the Helic Republic and Guylos Empire still exist or if the series is simply set in a future Helic Republic or Guylos Empire.The series focuses on the Blitz Team, in particular the actions of the Liger Zero and Bit Cloud. The series charts the rise of the Blitz Team through the various competitions of the Zoid Battle Commission, and the team's efforts to avoid conflict with the criminal organization known as the Backdraft Group.
Characters
BIT CLOUD
LEENA TOROS
Leena Toros is the daughter of the Blitz Team's manager, and is
portrayed as a stereotypically loud and bubbly sixteen year-old girl.
She pilots two different Zoids over the course of the series, the Dibison and Gunsniper, and is regarded as notoriously trigger-happy in combat, bordering on psychotic.
The Wild Eagle alter-ego
appears to be shared by members of the Hemeros family, as Jamie's
father, Oscar, exhibited the same abilities and personality changes
when flying certain Zoids. Unfortunately, this eventually led to a
high-speed, uncontrolled landing of Oscar's Raynos. Oscar was both
injured and seriously unnerved by the accident, as he "never flew a
Raynos again" (in Doctor Toros's words). He was not, despite what the
rest of the characters were led to believe, killed. In fact, he often
pops by to check up on his son, though he unintentionally seems to make
Jamie somewhat miserable (such as good-humouredly patting Jamie on the
back when the latter was injured

OSCAR HEREMOS:
Oscar Hemeros is a good friend of Dr. Toros. The
two of them had grown up together with the joint ambition of entering
the Zoid leagues.He has the misfortune of being the cause of the bitter
feud between Dr. Toros and Dr. Layon.Oscar was supposed to write a love
letter to a woman whom Dr. Toros and Dr. Layon were courting, but he
didn't know that the note was supposed to be from Dr. Layon, not Steve
Toros. Oscar was one of the greatest aerial Zoid pilots in his day,
earning his moniker "Wild Eagle" for his sheer mastery of aerial stunts
and maneuvers. However, one day, he lost control of his Raynos and
crashed. The accident forced him into early retirement from the
leagues, though he still pilots aerial Zoids in more casual settings.He
sent his son, Jamie, to join Dr. Toros' Blitz Team, figuring between
him and the Doc, they could bring out some of that Wild Eagle blood he
knows is in there.

has also piloted an Iron Kong, and a Cannon Tortoise. Many more Zoids
are seen in his hangar, among them a Red Horn, a Shield Liger, and a

Formerly a junk dealer, Bit Cloud is forced to join the Blitz
Team after he is responsible for damage to one of the team's Zoids
during a match. Taken to the Blitz Team's base, Bit discovers that he
is the only person capable of piloting the rare Liger Zero owned by the team's manager. Over the course of the series, it is learned that the Liger Zero is one of a series of unique Ultimate X
zoids, equipped with an Integrated Organoid system (also called Black
Box) and possessed with basic intelligence. Some fans believe that the
Integrated Organoid system of the Liger Zero resulted in a fusion of
the Blade Liger and the Organoid Zeke, but this theory has not been confirmed on any official source, and is most likely false.
- Bit Cloud's first name is believed to be derived of the Japanese term "Bitto Shiyo-ze" or "Cheer up", representing his happy-go-lucky personality. Bit has a strong relationship with the Liger Zero, treating the Zoid as a friend instead of just a machine. He is often seen in friendly conflict with Leena Toros, arguing over trivial matters like cookies, doughnuts, and the shower schedule.

- Leena is the target of the continual advances of Harry Champ, although fan speculation is that she secretly harbours a love for Bit Cloud (with whom she constantly gets into arguments). In the original Japanese version, the character is named Rinon Toros.

Brad Hunter was a pilot who began his career as a mercenary, and was hired by the Blitz Team at a point before the series to boost their pilot numbers. He pilots a modified Command Wolf, but is later forced to steal a prototype Shadow Fox from Dr. Layon and the Backdraft Group.
- Because of his mercenary nature, Brad will rarely enter a fight without a promise of financial compensation, even if the other team members are in trouble. Fans speculate that Brad has Irvine from Chaotic Century as an ancestor, and that he has feelings for Naomi Fluegel. In the original Japanese version, the character is name Ballad. Brad's surname is never given in either the Japanese or English versions, but supporting materials give it as "Hunter".

Jamie Hemeros is the Blitz Team's strategist, combat controller
and occasional backup pilot. He is believed by the characters to be an
orphan, and at fourteen years of age he is the youngest member of the
team. He initially owns a Pteras, but this is traded in by Dr. Toros for a supersonic Raynos, the same kind of Zoid piloted by his father.
- Jamie is caring towards his fellow teammates, who often annoy him by ignoring his advice and battle plans. It is believed that his surname is derived from Hermes, the winged messenger god. His skills as a pilot are marginal; he crashes his Zoid in almost every engagement he participates in.
- In Atari's English-language ports of the Zoids video games, his name is given as Jimmy; several Japanese fansites romanize his name Jemmy (the katakana for his name read ji e mii).
- The supersonic capabilities of the Raynos allow for the exposure of Jamie's alter-ego, the Wild Eagle. Wild Eagle is portrayed as the polar opposite of Jamie's personality, and can generally be considered a skilled pilot. However, his skill is often counterbalanced by his cocky overconfidence, which usually results in serious damage to the Raynos, and a period of unconsciousness for Jamie.
The Wild Eagle alter-ego
appears to be shared by members of the Hemeros family, as Jamie's
father, Oscar, exhibited the same abilities and personality changes

DR. STEVEN TOROS
Steve Toros is your typical happy-go-lucky guy. He is also the
Blitz team's manager (but also serves as an inventor and occasionally a
combat controller in Jamie's place), whose children are Leena and Leon
Toros. He was formerly friends with Dr. Layon until he accepted
marriage to the woman (Mrs. Toros is unnamed) eventually bearing both
of his children; out of envy, Layon incinerated the place where the
trio used to gather, completely ending the camaraderie between both of
them (Oscar seems to be neutral in the situation.).
- Dr.Toros is 38 years-old, he seems to be impulsive (notorious purchasing weaponry on the basis of being "shiny" and "big"), overdramatic and immature at times, but in all is a knowledgeable man. He built the CAS interchangeable armour system solely for the Liger Zero (see the Liger Zero article for details). He purchased the Liger Zero because white Ligers were rare, although the Zoid later appeared to be defective. Or so he thought...
- In many episodes he is seen playing with model Zoids.
