A Stegosaurus-type Zoid of the Helic Republic Army developed during the Central Continent War era.
Although far smaller and lighter than Gordos, its armor is thick.
In the realm of electronic warfare, it is a machine that achieved results surpassing even Gordos.

In ZAC 2056, the planetary catastrophe on Zi caused the loss of the crystal-radar technology, which was Gorhecks’ greatest weapon, but the Republic Development Division restored it through research.
Furthermore, in order to neutralize the Dark Spiner’s jamming wave, the output of the crystal radar was increased, and in ZAC 2106, mass production and redeployment were carried out.

===== Armament & Equipment =====
(“Old” refers to equipment naming during the Central Continent War era,
“New” refers to naming during the Second Intercontinental War era.)

==== Twin Beam Gun (old) / AZ 250 mm Twin Beam Gun (new) ====
Mounted on top of the neck.

==== Twin Missiles (old) / Ground-to-Ground Twin Missile Pods (new) ====
Mounted on the hardpoints on the sides of the tail.

==== Missile Pods (old) / All-Weather 3D Antennas (new) ====
The four protrusions at the tip of the tail.
During the Central Continent War era they were missile pods, but in the Second Intercontinental War era they were changed to all-weather 3D antennas.

==== Omni-Directional Cockpit (old) ====
The cockpit of the Gorhecks.
When boarding or disembarking, a seat deploys beneath the head.

==== Crystal Radar Unit (old) / Crystal Radar Fins (new) ====
The dorsal fin of the Gorhecks.
It has the performance to instantly search across all frequencies [108], and through linkage with a high-performance computer, it is used broadly from jamming to reconnaissance [16].
In the Second Intercontinental War era, a method existed in which radio waves of differing phases but identical frequencies were used to counter the Dark Spiner’s jamming wave [106].
It is also possible to sever communication between Chimera Blocks and their parent machine via jamming [109].

==== Delta Box Frame (old) ====
The body frame of the Gorhecks.
This allowed it to successfully mount a larger number of electronic devices [105].

==== Ultrasonic Drive Engine (old) ====
Mounted in the duct-like parts on the legs.

==== AZ Twin Missile Launcher (new) ====
Mounted underneath the abdomen.

===== Kit =====

The kit uses the large wind-up motor “Hi-Power Unit” as its power source, and walks using a simple four-legged walking gimmick with one-piece-molded legs.
The distinctive crystal radar is reproduced with clear parts.
As linked gimmicks, it has left–right rotation of the head and the twin beam gun directly above it, as well as the opening and closing of the crystal radar unit on the back (only the four central pairs).
Manual gimmicks include opening and closing the lower jaw (the boarding hatch beneath the cockpit) and rotating the weapons.

Toshiyuki Horii of Sphius LAB, who participated in production for Zoids Battle Story, commented on his own Twitter that he designed the Gorhecks.

===== Appearances in the Work =====

==== Battle Story ====

In the severe winter of ZAC 2106, machines equipped with crystal-radar amplification boosters were active.
Working together with Liger Zero Panzer, they confronted the Dark Spiner; when the Zero Panzer was driven into a corner, a Gorhecks rammed and self-destructed, destroying the Dark Spiner in a mutual kill.
In the recapture battle of Cook Fortress in early spring the same year, it also participated, successfully blocking the Dark Spiner’s jamming wave.

==== Anime ====

In Zoids Fuzors, it is deployed to the Blue City Security Bureau alongside Gojulas Giga and Allosaurer.
The Gorhecks BPS equipped with a patrol light (kit name: “FZ-010 Gorhecks”) appears from Episode 1.
Machines in the RZ color scheme can also be seen in various locations.
Its main pilot is Did.

In the anime Zoids Genesis, it does not appear in the story proper, but its silhouette can be seen in the opening prologue.

A “Changemize” machine that strengthens the FZ-010 Gorhecks using parts from the BZ-010 Boldguard.
Linkage with the Gorhecks' electronic systems enables ultra-precise firing.

Originally, the 3 mm shaft on the tail—where the Ground-to-Ground Twin Missile Pods would normally be mounted—connects, via joint part J7, to an anti-air gun emplacement composed of the Boldguard’s cockpit, artillery, block, and other parts.

In the battle story included in the same booklet, a booster-equipped type also takes part, but in the illustration, a normal Gorhecks is depicted.

==== Gorganer ====

^Affiliation| Helic Republic|
^Classification| Stegosaurus-type|

A modified machine that appeared in Shogakukan’s Zoids Battle Story 3.
It mounts a large cannon on its back and the machine is repainted in camouflage colors.

In the story, during the battle of December ZAC 2044, it carried out an attack on Cook Base, operating as the main gun of a disguised iceberg and playing an active role in annihilating the Imperial Northern Fleet while they were anchored.

The machine name is taken from the bonus card included with the January 1988 issue of the grade-school magazine Shogaku Sannensei (3rd Graders), December 1988 issue.
However, its first appearance in the January 1988 issue of the same magazine and in Battle Story 3 do not give it a specific name (it is listed simply as “Modified Gorhecks”).

It also appears in the manga Zoids Battle Comic in the April 1988 issue of Shogaku Sannensei.
As in the Battle Story, it is loaded onto a mobile fortress disguised as an iceberg and launches an attack on Cook Base, but is destroyed by Franz Hartmann’s hand missile.
