Cartoon Network shows two
anime series pertaining to Zoids:
Zoids Chaotic Century and
Zoids New Century/0. Both
series take place on the planet
Zi, and in both the Zoids are
metallic lifeforms which are used by people as
workers and
weapons.
Zoids
Chaotic Century follows a boy named
Van Fleiheit who is being chased by
bandits and finds a girl named Fiona and a small silver zoid, which he names Zeke, in old capsules in some old ruins. Zeke, who is later found to be an
Organoid, helps Van and Fiona escape the
bandits by reactivating a broken
Shield Leiger and
helping Van pilot it out. As the series progresses, Van meets various
opponents, such as Raven, and friends, like Moonbay and Irvine, and eventually ends up helping Fiona in her quest to regain her
memory and to find the
Zoid Eve.
Zoids New Century/0 takes place several
centuries after Chaotic Century, where
zoid battles have become a form of sport and battles are sanctioned by the
Zoid Battle Commission. The series starts with a junk dealer named
Bit Cloud, who gets caught up in one of the sanctioned zoid battles and ends up almost ruining the
Blitz team's chances of scoring
victory, and ends up getting the match rescheduled to the next day. Bit decides to help them win the battle by piloting the unusual
Leiger Zero, a zoid which noone seems to be able to
pilot. The next day he pulls off an amazing
victory in the resumed
battle with his new partner, the
Leiger Zero. Later, as Leon goes off on his own to hone his skills, Bit ends up joining the
Blitz team and helping Brad, Lena, Jamie and Dr. Toros (father of Leon and Lena and leader of the Blitz team) score
victories in their continuing
adventures leading up to the
Royal Cup match.

P.S. I wonder why no one posted this earlier... These have been on Cartoon Network for at least 2 years now.
P.P.S. Zoids Fuzors is a new series in this same universe that takes place after both the previous series.
