* Zoids Season 2 (Guardian Force) *
Storyline
The war between the Empire and Republicans has been over for a few years,
however, there is still those hostile individuals causing unrest on the
planet Zi. To ensure peace and stability, a joint task group called the
Guardian Force is developed. Van, Fiona, Zeke, and eventually Lt. Thomas
Richard Shubaltz make up this heroic force. Each dedicated to wiping out
those who use their Zoids for evil intentions, and thus maintaining
a peaceful existance for the inhabitants of Zi.
Zoids Guardian Force is technically the second season of Zoids brought to anime.

Characters
VAN (BAN) FREIHEIT
Voice Actor: Matthew Erickson
Zoid: Blade Liger
Organoid: Zeke
Age: 18
It's been a few years and Van has matured (really nicely)! He
has been in the military academy training under the guidance
of Colonel Krueger. Upon graduation, he joins up with Fiona
and becomes a Lieutenant in the Guardian Force. (I just
love his new uniform.)
It is
within this season we see a closer bond growing between
Van and Fiona.
FIONA
Voice Actor: Carol Anne Day
Age: Unknown
Fiona is as sweet and innocent as ever. It was determined
last season that Fiona is really an ancient Zoidian whose
real name is Alisi Lynnett (?sp). For the past few years
Fiona has been working with Dr. D in their quest to find
Zoid Eve.
It's not really any surprise, but eventually
we will see how deeply she loves Van giving her the ability
to feel his emotions.
LIEUTENANT THOMAS RICHARD SHUBALTZ
Voice Actor: Ryan Luhning
Zoid Season 2: Medium Artillery DiBison
Age: ? early 20's
Thomas is one character you may dislike at first but eventually
grow to admire. He is the younger brother of Major Karl Shubaltz
whom he was always trying to live up to. There are times when he
lets his rank go to his head, and he definitely is effected by the
green eyed monster (jealousy) when it comes to Van. He took one
look at Fiona, and it was love at first site...too bad it is
unrequited (-_-).
Thomas is incredibly intelligent and developed
an AI (Artificial Intelligence) to assist him in battle which he
calls Beak. For the most part, Beak is a man-made organoid. It is a computer
installed within the Zoid core of the DiBison that can make decisions
just like humans. The helmet worn by Thomas allows him to communicate
more directly with Beak.
IRVINE
Voice Actor: Mark Gatha
Zoid Season 2: Command Wolf/Lightning Saix
Age: early 20's
Irvine (drool)...yes, he is back and cocky as ever. For the
past few years he spent his time battling in Zoid tournaments
and taking on odd dangerous jobs to earn money. It so happens
he runs into Van on one of his side jobs. Eventually, they
team up again to battle the terrorizing Raven.
Have no fear,
what he is wearing in this picture is simply a disguise worn
during the episode he met up with Van.
MOONBAY
Voice Actor: Onalea Gilbertson (luv her singing!)
Zoid Season 1: Gustav
Age: Not sure (somewhere around Irvine's age)
Moonbay, too, is back...beautiful and fiesty as ever.
Of course, she spent the last few years doing what she
likes best....earning the almighty buck. Teams up with
the gang again quite by accident when she rescues
Thomas, and returns his DiBison to a base where Van
and the others are located. Moonbay loves her
independence.
RAVEN
Voice Actor: Scott Hendrickson
Zoid Season 2: Genosaurer/Genobreaker
Age: 18
Raven is truly bad to the bone, but it is due to his
tragic background. He has had an overwhelming hatred of
Zoids since childhood and sets out to destroy all of
them.
Tragically, his parents were killed by an
organoid when it emerged from its Zoid capsule.
He was briefly assisted by Van's father until
Prozen and his forces attacked. Prozen then trained
Raven as his own fighting machine...awarding him
Shadow and a red Zabre fang when it was time to go
and carry out Prozen's path of destruction.
This season Raven has a more powerful Zoid and is intent on defeating his rival...VAN.
