[edit] Overview
The Buster Eagle is the first aerial Blox of the Republic other than the Nightwise, and is a major improvement, being a more capable unit on its own than its predecessor. Its primary weapon is its Buster Cannons, which can also be equipped to the Gojulas Giga.

[edit] Media appearances
[edit] Anime
The Buster Eagle is shown as a fuzor with the Berserk Fury of Blake from the Savage Hammer team. As the Berserk Fury serves as the rival of R.D.'s Liger Zero (something carried over from the previous series Zoids: New Century Zero), the Buster Eagle may be that of the Fire Phoenix. Unlike the Phoenix, however, the Eagle is manned, piloted by Luke. Almost immediately after its introduction, it combines with the Fury to form the Buster Fury, adding extra firepower and flight capabilities to the Fury. It would not be seen again until the Matrix Dragon mini-arc, which it would fight against its "teammate" the Matrix Dragon while going after the Liger Zero Phoenix at the same time. Both the Fury and Zero Phoenix, were soon shot down by the Matrix Dragon, but before it could deal its coup de grace, the Energy Liger ambushed and fired on the Buster Fury and Matrix Dragon, damaging both Zoids beyond repair and even rendered unsalvagable for parts. However, this would not be the Buster Eagle's last appearance as it appears in a flashback revealing that Blake had given Luke the Eagle as a gift as his first Zoid. A joyful Luke promises to treasure the Zoid.

- The model's colours are moulded into the plastic, and it does not need any paint.
The model is fully posable, since it is a Blox Zoid. The wings, legs, etc. can be manually posed. The guns are very long compared to the model's body. The figure
[edit] Fuzors
The model remains relatively unchanged, save for the dark brown parts recolored metallic red, is bundled with Berserk Fury and includes a red pilot figure. Like the Fire Phoenix, it has extra parts to fuse with its partner Zoid, the Berserk Fury and extra sticker sheets.
