erm – it’s a robot – it might be quite imposing, but ultimately if you pull the plug it’s just another heap of metal….

First off, there is no Japanese Robotech. It’s called Macross in Japan. So that would mean it’s basted off The Macross Zentradi Tactical Battlepod. And yes,, just because a bunch of no talent hacks at Harmony Gold (American) renamed Robotech, doesn’t stop it from being the work of the people at Big West (Japanese). All hail lord Shoji Kawamori! Long live Macross! Death to Harmony Gold! Robotech fans should kill themselves for the love of lord Shoji Kawamori!

Being a bit pedantic here, but its not strictly a robot as it has a pilot inside it , it would be better to class it as a ‘ mech ‘.
The Battletech Marauder is heavily based on the Zentraedi Officer’s Battle Pod from the Japanese ‘ Robotech ‘ cartoons of the 80s.
