I do seem to recall Shout! years ago having a preorder up for a Gobots DVD set that abruptly disappeared several months before Warner Archive listed theirs, so do WB have a unique stake in this too? Just how many ways does the Gobot tug-of-war pull?!? No wonder Gobotron was ripped in half...
Dude. I totally was asking about him too. It's Jeeg. Who, yes, was a Takara toy at one time. Don't know if Jeeg came first or Baron. That Bandai version looks like he's rockin the magnet gimmick too. Very confused about this.Desslok2201 wrote:I'm nosure if someone's mentioned it yet, but who is the yellow chested Baron Karza looking thing in the upper left corner of the pic?

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

We have to remember that these aren't being made based on the GoBots franchise, but on the Machine Robo franchise.

That thing looks pretty sweet. I wonder if it's got a horse. It's centaur mode would rock.
***I just looked him up- he has a centaur mode and a sweet ass lance. This guy rules.

Thanks ZWolf. I did a little research myself last night. Takara made Jeeg as a licensed Microman toy in like '72. They later made the magnetic toy. When Mego licensed Microman from Takara to make Micronauts, they took the magnetic Jeeg toy, made new heads, to avoid legal issues, and called him Baron Karza, Emperor, and Force Commander.ZeroWolf wrote:Desslok2201 wrote:Cobotron wrote:Dude.

Indeed he does, you should try and YouTube "Double Jeeg" and see two generations of kotesu Jeeg in action (okay the newer one is kotesushin jeeg but they're still connected) Fun fact Jeeg was another creation of Go Nagai famous for creating Mazinger Z, Grendizer, Getter Robo, Gaiking and more

According to the CYBERGEEKS Alliance Facebook, these Machine Robo figures are indeed coming from Action Toys and not Bandai (making them not be Soul of Chogokin figures), they each about the height of Classics Bumblebee and Masterpiece Bumble, just under 5 inches (so smaller than a typical Transformers Deluxe), they will be about 50 bucks each, and more info to be found through the link.
How prominent was Pathfinder's Machine Robo counterpart in the Revenge of Chronos series?RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Houston, we have more info (and pics)!

Thanks! God, I hope they do a Pathfinder.
