Overview[]

Geno Hydra's concept art

The Geno Hydra first appeared in the Zoids Saga and Zoids VS games, and was never featured as a model. It is piloted by Blood Keel, who fought against Athle in Zoids Saga.

In Zoids Saga, it featured a "Diffused Charged Particle Cannon", capable of hitting every enemy on the screen. This version of the charged particle cannon is also used by the Berserk Fury (and its variants), the Geno Flame, and the Death Saurer (and its variants).

The most unusual feature of the Geno Hydra is its arms, which are actually different heads. Each of the three heads can be cycled and locked into the neck, where each serves a different purpose. The base head has teeth and the Charged Particle Cannon, one arm has a circular sawblade, and the other has a Gatling gun. The Gatling Head, is usable, whether or not it is cycled onto the neck. The Zoids Saga series depicts the left arm as having the Gatling gun and the right with the saw, while the trading card in Zoids Scramble depicts this the other way around.

Upgrades[]

  • Geno Hydra KA

Geno Hydra Kill Armor

Blood Keel's personal upgrades to the Geno Hydra as featured in Zoids Legacy. It features two plasma cannons on its back, much more durable armor, and a significant increase in speed to 350 km/h. It also features an energy shield. Unfortunately, the alternate heads that were the Hydra's signature weapons seem to have been removed. The Geno Hydra KA's tail claw is sometimes referred to as a Strike Laser Claw.

Video Games[]

The Geno Hydra's media appearances are all but confined to a few video games, namely the Zoids Saga series and Zoids VS series. It plays a minor role in Zoids Legacy, where it is piloted by Blood against Zeru and Athle. Blood later upgrades to the Geno Hydra KA.

Geno Hydra also plays a minor role in Zoids VS II (Zoids Battle Legends), where the player fights it in the 8th battle of the game's battle mode, along with a Geno Breaker piloted by Flam. A variety of weapons can be put on the open spot on the Geno Hydra's back, including a Geno Saurer Long Range Pulse Laser Rifle, or a CP-07 Cannonry Unit.

An appearance is made by Geno Hydra in Zoids VS III.

Trading Cards[]

The Geno Hydra was featured as a card in the Zoids Scramble series.

Gachapon[]

The Geno Hydra makes its appearance in Wave 9 of the Gachapon Zoids series. This marked the only time where the Zoid is made as a toy.

HMM Conversion Kit[]

The Geno Hydra was released in 2018 as a third-party conversion kit for the HMM Berserk Fury at the Winter Wonder Festival.[7]
