Nice grab ED

@William7: That's equivalent of RMZ-02 Glidoler of OJR Line. Robostrux Zoids were released in two factions, the same as the OER, and likewise had no numbering system. The 1 posted by EDMAESTRO is under the Blue Guardian Faction.

Toys Dream Project re-issued RMZ-02 Glidoler in a box set called TDP Helic Memorial Set 1983.


Review: RMZ-02 Glidoler.

Originally released back in 1983 under the following line (Text extracted from Phenotype's Zoids Checklist):
- RMZ-02 Glidoler, Original Japan Release (OJR)
- “Unnamed”, Original American Release (OAR) or more commonly referred to as Robostrux. From Phenotypes Forum: The Glidoler was released as a promotional or giveaway item in a bag rather then a box. It had no name. The mould is actually a re-colour of the OER Terrared, as it has a “clam head” canopy.
- Terrazoid, Original European Release (OER)
- Glidoler, Pullback Zoids

Front Box


Back Box


Contents. Same with RMZ-01 Garius the instruction manual has a feel of “vintage”, color-wise. It is off-white and lil thick. It comes with aluminum foil sticker sheet and chrome gold pilot.


Built RMZ-02 Glidoler






The gimmick on this Zoids kit is remarkable for a 1983 design. The gear mechanism are all interconnected to the wind-up motor thus when you wound it the wing flaps & the wheel rotates. The 2 “large” feet makes a funny sound when it’s moving being hollow and big. Reminds me of Madthunder having this same sound as well.

As mentioned in RMZ-01 Garius review, plastic quality is good and the white head is not really white but off-white.

Looking at the Glidoler (1983), the Engineering concept can be seen on some of bird-type Zoids such as Raynos (1988) & Pteras (Puterasu 1986). But Glidoler beats both on “gear mechanism” department.


Cheers to everyone

so u notice the picture quality. I borrowed my dads SLR Cannon.

Williams saw my Mad Thunder in my house.

Thanks guys for the info + welcome. Morgenthau, your Command Wolf AC inpired me




Grats! Gotta wait a few years before he can actually play with Ed Jr.

Anyone seen any Bio Zoids around? Wanted to get 1 but not around anymore. Remember seeing a lot in Litt Takk for 50% off..but that time the racun was still dormant haha

And I got a Gundamer to become a Zoider mainly because of HMMs. He said it's comparable to Gundam's PG and cheaper.

Robo Strux comes in different colours?

(This topic really moves fast )

@Yiha9944:
Zoids Wikia states the resin kits were only manufactured in the hundreds. Wouldn't be surprised if an unbuilt kit costs more than "LYN-rumoured" HMM Mad Thunder!

@DeinanCF:
Great to hear mighty Zoids has acquired another soul. Domination is imminent. Resistance is futile!

Apologies if topics seem to run from one thing to another on this thread. With over 25 years of history and so many different production runs in Japan, USA, Singapore, Thailand, France, etc (Malaysia?), there are a lot of things to learn.
I'm still looking for new information myself. Specifically, about how to know which Zoids models are originals and which are bootlegs/fake?

If I'm not mistaken, Robo Strux came with many different model type. I'm not sure if each type had different colour-schemes, though.
Anyone has pictures of Red/Blue-guardian factions?
