Anime

The Ankyrox appears in Zoids: Wild under the name Knockz is the Zoid of Scrapes.

While Knockz features in episode 1, it doesn't have a prominent role in the series until episode 31, where Scrapes and Pach meet up with some members of Team Freedom while treasure hunting. This episode features the first time the Wild Blast of Knockz is used.

The most significant involvement with the story beings in episode 37. Team Supreme arrives to assist Freedom in fighting the Four Dark Warriors. Pach, Scrapes, and Tremor fend off the Dark Metal warriors, and as such force Haxile to use his trump card. He fights using the Dimepulsar infused with Demise DNA and amplified by Dilofos.

The blast causes all three of Supreme's Zoids to go rogue and join Dark Metal.

In episode 44, Malware appears before Arashi and the three members of Supreme. It proves impossible to save Knockz from Dark Metal's influence. At the request of Scrapes, Arashi dispatches Knockz, slicing it in two using his King Claw Ultra attack.

A flower is planted near a Zoid Grave for Knockz.
