OverView
The Sword Wolf is a Wolf type Zoid appearing in the Zoids: Genesis time line. Adorning the back of the Sword Wolf, these blades are known as "Hack Blades" and are produced from a very rare form of metal found on Planet Zi known as "Metal ZI".

The twin metal Zi blades are attached to a swiveling backpack span a good part of the Zoid back resulting in a minor loss of both speed and agility. But allowing it to fend off opponents that try to climb on its back. The right blade swings upwards 180 degrees whilst the left swings sideways 90 degrees. Although neither the largest or fastest Zoid, it is incredibly manueverable, and Ra-Kan's piloting skill is matched by few others.

The Sword Wolf also mounts a 3 nozzle Ion Booster which gives the unit massive acceleration while allowing the unit to jump long distances almost making the Zoid capable of "short flight". Sword Wolf is not heavily armored, instead relying on it's speed to evade most attacks.

The Sword Wolf appears in the Zoids Genesis seires and a select few of games

Anime
Sword Wolf makes it's appearance in the Genesis Zoids Anime, and is piloted by the leader of the Digald Suppress Army that goes by the name of "Ra Kan". The origin of the Sword Wolf is said to "pre-date" technology and does not have any known connection to the three tigers. In the Anime the Sword Wolf uses the Hack blades to penetrate the otherwise impenetrable "Hell Armor" of the Bio Zoids.

After being upgraded, Sword Wolf became the Sword Wolf Crusher. The right blade was replaced with a larger Metal Zi sword which could be swung on the ground to create a shockwave. This shockwave was shown to be able to slice through the Hell Armor used by Digald Bio Zoids

Model
Sword Wolf was released in early 2005 and was the seventh Zoid created from the Genesis line. Colored in red, black, and grey with blue caps, the Sword Wolf has a specific upgrade unit known as the "Bio Crusher". The Bio Crusher consists of a single blade along with a shield that took the place of either one of the normal Hack Blades. The Genesis Sword Wolf was the first, and last release and we did not see the planned limited version that would have been re-colored as well as come fully equipped with both the Bio Crusher and Ra Kan pilot figure.
