Enigma Zoids

[Daft Punksworth]

Okay so when trying to poke my zoids, I began to wonder about three "vintages" I got (and my term of Vintage is Any zoid from beginning to 1987, probably not the proper term XD; But they're only barely younger, the same age as, or older than me!). They had been painted by their previous owner, so I'm not really sure what they are. I think the Godos style is Spartax and the Molga style is Kreep, but I have no idea, and the Guysack style? I have NO clue about that one. Ghostie doesn't recall any guysacks that have a black head or black legs, and that's what Enigma has.

I've taken pictures of shaved pegs (because I kinda like the customizing, it makes them special, and unique), to find out what they are... Anyone have a clue?

Guysack type:


The frame around the motor


Back six legs.


I ended up taking the back leg and gouging the peg to make sure it wasn't a coat of paint. That gouge is maybe a millimetre deep. I am positive it isn't paint.


Front two legs


Tail


Cockpit. Shaved and no colour change. Inside is painted.


The little ... uh... units on the side of the motor frame

I-think-Spartax:

I-think-Kreep:

Yay for Google XD And Ghostie, for correcting my spelling! Kreep is Kreep and Spartax is SpartaK! Now we just need to identify the guysack.

I took the pictures out because they kill the page length.

Help me out, and I'll post a picture of the Enigma Trio!

EDIT:
hahaha, this thread is number 404! "Zoid identification not found" XDD

I'm actually more confident that's a Scorpiozoid now

The second one I'm not certain, but I think it's likely

And yus, that definitely looks like Kreep

Nice! Makes me want to strip the paint off though.

Awesome set there Celtic! ;D

I would want Spart to have better paint, I'm okay with Kreeps and I like Ebil's. XD My camera doesn't do it justice.

Thanks, SB.

I like Kreep's original colour... I can't believe I passed on that one on eBay TT_TT

[Daft Punksworth]

Yea. XD I was thinking that when I found an original picture of Kreep, that's why I'm like "I'm okay with it." XD I love the cockpit. I should take a macro shot of the cockpit... and Ebil. I love the misty effect the former owner did with them. XD

A new enigma... I have only one of these caps, so I have no idea where it's from. You Menaces will love this cap. I usually put it on the side of the zoid I can't see. XD;

But now I'm curious. Ghostie can't remember and I only have one, a lone one. It's actually a bit more pink than in the photo (the pic bleaches it some), but it's still baby-shower-pink.



I had to hold it because my camera kept trying to focus beyond it.

Random question....

While I know kits like LZX Hailstorm and Berserk Fury have different types of plastic, I'm wondering if plastic of the seemingly same plstic models is different? Just wondering...

I decided to get the paint off Spartak (he's not in great condition, but damnit he looks a lot better than I thought), and the hatch responded differently than the tan responded differently than the neck responded differently than the foot...

The hatch made little ripples. The tan cockpit seemed more stubborn and held onto stains. The neck seemed soft (I ended up carving a lot of the paint off the tan and neck, so that the neck wouldn't dissolve). And the foot is ideal, the paint falls right off.

[GhostLiger]

It certainly wouldn't surprise me.
