This must be THE #1 Transformer for the Baron!

[Sundance]

Macross debuted in 1982.

I haven't seen it but have seen Robotech and Gundam Wing they were great series.

[Sundance]

Robotech was the Americanised version of Macross...

The real question is "how on earth do I get my hands on one of these bad boys!!" they're awesome! Only lead I have on one so far is one costing $200. and whilst I REALLY want one, I'm not sure I $200 want one!! That's twenty lots of "loving long time"!!

[The Baron]

Clearly the real issue is the definitive origin of the toyline itself, with no margin for error.

Steve, you missed the obvious option!

Result!!! Cheers Baron!!! Ebay is blocked at work these days, so I'd been scouring everywhere but. Thanks to the wonders of Mobile Ebay one Baron Transformer is now looking like finding it's way to me! Postage is likely to be twice what the figure has cost, but I dont care! Megatron has been put on warning - the Decepticons have a new leader! Baron IronPlane. No, that doesn't work.... suggestions???

"I may commandeer it as Stormatron!!!"

Fokker.

Fokker.

Yes, that is indeed another good version of this Baron - I agree.
