So if that batter and SDF-1

So if that battery and SDF-1 are anything to go off of, this thing is kinda big. I think that adds to its appeal as a huge whacky robot though.

Ur doin it rong

The shoulders on the Macross are backwards in Cruiser Mode as well as not properly rotating the boom tips, and the legs weren't extended in Attacker Mode so you lost an inch there as well.

20 years ago, I might have gotten a kick out of this toy. Now I don't.

Nice review regardless.

I LOVE IT. Damn, why didn't

I LOVE IT. Damn, why didn't I get any of this awesome stuff when I was little? All I got was confusing crap Transformers, like Ironhide. I hated Ironhide! He didn't even have a head! This one is clean cut: aircraft carrier and big 'ol goofy robot. It's GOLDEN.

I had this :D

Awesome. I used to have this toy way back, complete with its missle launchers and missles until a couple of years ago when I gave a load of my old toys to my younger cousins.
Great review.

ooh

Do you know what went on his arms and head in boat mode? I also theorized that an airplane could be launched with the mechanism on the deck. Did yours have any airplanes included? Any other details you can remember?

thx

Planes

I have one, and I'm not sure if your question was ever answered. There was a little missile that shot out of the hole on the deck. No planes came with it that I can recall.

Seeing the top of the head makes me wonder if I lost another piece that could slide on the head.
