The Fire Phoenix is capable both as an individual unit and as a Fuzor. In flight, the Zoid is both swift and agile, capable of outmanoeuvring almost any other airborne Zoid. Additionally, it sports a large array of weapons; a half-dozen pulse cannons in the tips of each wing, as well as a pair of rear-firing beam cannons. Most notable, however, is its Charger Missile. The weapon can be fuelled with energy from the Zoid's core to enhance its destructive potential. At maximum charge, it can disable or destroy a Gojulas Giga with a single shot. The Gojulas Giga (often affectionately referred to as Giggles by western fans, or often erroneously as Giga Gojulas) is a type of Zoid, one of over 200 species of biomechanical life forms around which the Zoids model, anime, and game franchise is based. ...

When combined with the Liger Zero, the Phoenix serves to enhance the Zoid's capabilities. The Zero gains the ability to fly, as well as the Phoenix's considerable array of weapons.

Battle Story appearances

The success of the Blox-CAS technology developed for the Gairyuki by the Helic Republic and ZOITEC inspired the two factions to develop a CAS-capable Blox Zoid to work with the Liger Zero platform, replacing the three older CAS units previously in use. The Gairyuki is a Tyrannosaurus-type Zoid, one of over 200 species of biomechanical lifeforms depicted by TOMYs Zoids model, toy, and media franchise. ...

The Liger Zeroes of the Republic's Flash Division were equipped with Phoenix Blox-CAS Units prior to their renewed offensive against the Neo-Zenebas Empire in ZAC 2109. The Flash Division was successful until the first encounter of a Seismosaurus. During the engagement, the majority of the Liger Zero Phoenixes were destroyed while they tried to buy time for the supporting Gairyuki unit to complete the mission.

Media appearances

Anime

The Fire Phoenix appears in Zoids: Fuzors as a Fuzor partner for Liger Zero. Through combining with the Fire Phoenix to become Liger Zero Phoenix, the Liger Zero gains full flight capabilities while retaining its incredible agility. In addition, the Liger Zero gains the use of the Fire Phoenix's considerable arsenal. The Liger Zero is a Lion-type Zoid, one of over 200 species of biomechanical life forms that provide the basis for TOMY’s model kit, anime, and comic based Zoids franchise. ...

The American Fusion sequences were mostly incorrect, given that the Fire Phoenix has to be taken apart to become the Phoenix CAS of the Liger Zero. Also, the face armour of the Liger Zero is retained by the Liger Zero Phoenix, when on the model the face armour must be replaced. This same error occurs with the Liger Zero Falcon.

For the Phoenix itself, it is depicted as being able to flap its wings, when the model is unable perform such a gimmick.

The Fire Phoenix is destroyed by the Gairyuki in episode 14 of the series, after protecting RD and Liger Zero from Gairyuki's Charged Particle Cannon. It then sacrifices itself in a failed attempt to destroy Gairyuki. The Zoid is later replaced by the Jet Falcon. The Gairyuki is a Tyrannosaurus-type Zoid, one of over 200 species of biomechanical lifeforms depicted by TOMYs Zoids model, toy, and media franchise. ...

The Fire Phoenix was designed to serve as a new armour set for the Liger Zero, as well as an individual Zoid. Instructions for the 'fusion', along with additional components to allow the fusion to take place, were included with the Fire Phoenix.

In the initial release, Hasbro designated the Fire Phoenix 'RZ-101'. This was an error, as the Fire Phoenix is a Blox Zoid, and should have been designated 'BZ'. Later Hasbro releases were designated BZ-108, and displayed an altered set of Zoid statistics. The original values given by Hasbro had been deemed incorrect by TOMY when they released the Liger Zero Phoenix.

The NAR Fire Phoenix was also released as part of the New Pacific Release. There were no changes, and the released models used the corrected statistics and designation.

New Japanese Release

NJR Liger Zero Phoenix

Released shortly after the initial NAR release, the first Japanese version of the Fire Phoenix was simply named Phoenix. This Zoid was not released on its own; instead it was packaged as part of the Liger Zero Phoenix model kit. The Phoenix was coloured in grey and blue, to match the recoloured Liger Zero.

The NJR and Z-Builders versions disagree on some of the Fire Phoenix's statistics, namely the Zoid's height and maximum speed. As TOMY is considered to override Hasbro in matters of Zoids canon, the revised stats are accepted as correct, and are the ones used for this article.
