Instructions are step-by-step with accompanying images. They are in a .pdf file. I am currently hosting the files with MediaFire.com, as it provides free file hosting and does not delete inactive files. If anyone can suggest a better host, please do so, although so far MediaFire seems adequate. To get the file, you need to click the link to go to the site for the download.

Update #002

Yay, I've taken lots of photos of all 17 of my Zoids, and added them to all of the Zoid model posts. I have used low-quality thumbnails so they shouldn't take long to load, and you can click on the ones you want to see the full image of, and in higher quality. I even took a photo of Leosune, my custom repainted Leoblaze, he's in the Leoblaze model review post.

I plan to start fusing my Zoids and attaching step-by-step instructions, probably in .jpg or .pdf format depending on if I include text or not. Before I create some custom Zoid designs (I already have one in mind I have previously created, Leo Guardian, who is made from Leoblaze and Mosasledge), I will be posting instructions for the Double Arms Lizard, an official Zoid that can be made with Leoblaze and Unenlagia. Once I have a few different fusions up, you can easily find the ones you want according to which Zoids you have by using the keywords to the right in the Posts About... section. So far they only link to the model reviews of course.

Model: Unenlagia

Official:
Designation: BZ-002
Type: Unenlagia Dinosaur
Alignment: Republican
Movement: None
Colour: Blue and Grey
Special: Can fuse with 3 others to form the Matrix Dragon
Approximate Size: About 16cm long and 7cm high when posed horizontally, and about 12cm long and 10cm high when standing more upright.

Review:
Unenlagia is a lovely blue raptor-like Zoid with great articulation. He can stand reasonably upright or more horizontal in a stalking pose, and being a Blox/Z-Builder, his limbs all move well. He can be a little unstable and the weight at the front can pull him down, but he is easy to pose if you balance him right. The blue works well with the orange canopies and eyes. Unenlagia is very useful for fusing, with nice parts including his nice face, the gun tail and his clawed arms and feet, as well as the guns attached to his arms. Unenlagia can be fused easily with other Zoids, and is easy to reassemble. Unenlagia is definitely one of my favourite small Zoids, although his name is not the easiest to say.

Stalking

Model: Redler

Official:
Designation: EZ-005
Type: Dragon
Alignment: Imperial
Movement: Wind-up
Colour: Purple, Silver and Black with Semi-Transparent Wings
Special: It's wings flap when it walks
Approximate Size: About 23cm long, 7cm high and 17cm long with wings extended, 9cm with wings contracted.

Review:
One of my favourite Zoids, Redler is an awesome vibrant purple dragon that moves extremely well for a wind-up. Wind him up and watch him walk, flapping his wings as he does! You can also pull his wings up, and when you let go they will return to where they were locked, depending on what stage of walking he is at (just wind him up a little further if they don't fall as flat as you'd like). In Redler's tail has a silver sword hiding in it, and you can pull it up further than 90 degrees from the tail. Redler's wings are semi-transparent, and appear to be a dark purply-reddish berry colour. The part on his back that his wings are attached to can be lifted up a bit, and his head can tilt or open to reveal the pilot. Redler is easy to assemble, although make sure you take care when assembling him, make sure everything is nice and secure and he will work fine. Although he isn't as posable as other figures, his mobilisation, his lovely design, and the way the colours are spread out nicely are earning him a 5 star rating from me, although it should be noted I love dragons so no surprises. This guy doesn't have many faults, although I don't think his parts would be useful for fuzing with other Zoids.

Wings down, tail sword partly out

Model: Rainbow Jerk

Official:
Designation: GZ-011
Type: Peafowl
Genesis Model Line
Movement: None
Colour: Purple, Silver, White, Gold with Green Caps
Special: Wings can be folded back or extended, and tail can be pulled up like a Peacock
Approximate Size: Wings and Tail folded back - 25cm long, 15cm high, 10cm wide. Wings and Tail extended - 12cm long, 22cm high, 31cm wide.

Review:
Rainbow Jerk is a lovely mixture of colours, with a purple and silver body, gold beak, crest, feet, top of the wings and middle of the tail, white on the face and wings (feathers), and to complete it green caps and orange cockpit and eyes. This Zoid is truly beautiful, and the way its tail can spread out like a peacock and its wings can be extended or folded back is great - the Zoid can look beautiful and majestic, and it helps a lot when sitting it on a Zoid-crowded shelf with not much room. Rainbow Jerk is the only Genesis Zoid I have right now. Apart from extending the tail and wings, Rainbow Jerk's head and neck can move up and down (moving the head down extends the wings if built correctly), and its feet and legs can move back for flight or forwards for standing, and the bottom part of the beak can move down for squawking. Of course the cockpit canopy can be opened to let out the pilot. Now this wonderful model isn't perfect. When the tail is retracted the stickers (the tail stickers are the only decals I've applied right now) occasionally get caught and you have to be careful. Also, when you look at the tail pieces, they probably slightly scratched even if they have only been extended and retracted two or three times. The tail is easy to extend though, you just need to life up the main piece. Another down point is that the Rainbow Jerk's eyes are small orange pieces that could easily get lost of they fell off. One of mine is secure, but the other falls off frequently and I plan to superglue it or something. Another thing that falls off frequently is the top part of the beak, but it is easy to reattach unlike Fire Phoenix's. Despite these drawbacks, this Zoid has a lot to offer so I shall still give it a high rating.
