The G2 Rex (G2レックス, G2 Rekkusu) is a Tyrannosaurus-type of Zoid, a race of over 200 biomechanical lifeforms from the fictional Zoids universe.

Overview

Upon discovering remains of the legendary Zoid Gojulas, the Dinas Empire constructed the G2 Rex (Gojulas Gun Rex) to take advantage of its obvious power. Formed by integrating the Gojulas with the Raptojaguar and Stegoganzer, G2 Rex is an improvement on its predecessor, doubling the original Gojulas' complement of large-caliber cannons for long-range engagements and vastly increasing its footspeed and maneuverability for close combat. Upon deployment, it proved more than a match for the Bitegriffons that had halted the Imperial march into Beith Republic territory.

Battle Story Appearances

Geologist Dr M. Oates recovered the Zoid cores of ancient Gojulases, and the Dinas Empire seized upon the discovery to engineer an enhanced Neoblox-based Zoid based on the remains. The resulting G2 Rex formed the spearhead of the renewed invasion of the Beith Republic and shattered the defending forces, pushing a desperate Republic to manufacture the Valkyrie Caesar against their own rules regarding ancient Zoid technology.
