The Whitz Tiger is a type of Zoid, one of over 200 species of biomechanical lifeforms depicted by TOMY's Zoids model, toy, and media franchise from the fictional Zoids universe.
Overview
The Whitz Tiger is a Zoid created by the ZOITEC corporation by fusing together the Whitz Wolf and Savinga. Because ZOITEC previously lacked the technology needed to resurrect an ancient Tiger core in a single body, the Whitz Tiger's core lies in the Savinga, while the bulk of the body is made up by the Whitz Wolf.
Whitz Tiger Imitate
The Whitz Tiger Imitate is a copy of the true Whitz Tiger with the Whitz Wolf and Savinga permanently combined into Whitz Tiger mode, created by ZOITEC after creating the Whitz Wolf and Savinga. This Zoid does not use the true "Ancient Tiger" core, instead using an "imitation" core. This affects the power of the Zoid, placing it between the Whitz Wolf and the true Whitz Tiger.
Rez Tiger
The Rez Tiger is a variant specific to the Zoids: Generations limited edition model line, which inhabits a parallel (but separate) continuity to Genesis. In addition to the normal Whitz Tiger weapons, the Rez Tiger carries a large blade which can be mounted on the Zoid's back or carried in its mouth.
The Rez Tiger is already combined with Savinga, but is capable of separating into its component Zoids. When separated, either the Whitz Wolf or the Savinga can carry the sword.
Battle Story Appearances
Of the three legendary Tiger Zoid cores discovered by ZOITEC and Zi-Arms, the Whitz Wolf was the first Zoid to enter service in ZAC 2230. Unable to completely reconstruct the legendary Whitz Tiger in a single body, ZOITEC used its experience in Blox Zoid manufacture to create the Savinga, which carried the remaining components, while being a formidable Zoid itself.
When combined, the Whitz Tiger proved to be a formidable adversary. To compete with it, rival corporation Zi-Arms created the Death Raser and Parablade, which combined to form the Decalto Dragon. As the war between the two companies escalated, the Whitz Tiger was frequently used to attack Zi-Arms installations. Eventually, the Zoid was instrumental in the defeat of the rampaging Mega Death Saurer, but was destroyed in the process.
Media Appearances
The Whitz Tiger made an appearance in Zoids VS III.
