Zoids: Chaotic Century
Comic Adaption: Michiro Ueyama
Summary: Shannon

Sixty-thousand light years from our earth, there is a planet called Zi. On Planet Zi, countless vareties of giant life forms with metal-based bodies--Zoids--inhabit the world. Mankind took those lifeforms and altered them into beastly fighting machines and wars spread throughout the world. About forty years ago, the worst of natural disasters hit--a gigantic meteroite collided with the planet. It completely obliterated an entire portion of a pupulated continent and threw the rest of Zi's surviors, both human and Zoid, back to an earlier age.
The story starts off in a remote region of the Elemia Desert where a young boy named Van desires to follow in his forthers footsteps and become a Zoid Pilot to protect the village. Van's skills, however, are not as developed as his fathers and his Zoid Zeke, a small dinosaur type Zoid, doesn't seem to have the power Van's father's Command Wolf. To the village comes Raven, a humorless young man with an interest in Van and Zeka. As much as Van loves Zoids, Raven hates them, and Raven causes a Zaber Fang to ruthlessly attack the village, destroying Zoids, buildings, and lives. Van stops the Zaber Fang, but Raven meld with a Zoid named Shadow that is almost identical to Zeke, enters the immobile Zaber Fang and attacks the village all over again.
