Baro (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 character. For the Aligned character, see Baro (Prime).

Baro is an Decepticon C.O.M.B.A.T. Bot from the Earth Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Though he is slow to show up to the action, once Baro finally shifts to shield/shuriken weapon mode, he is seemingly everywhere at once, offering multiple offensive and defensive options.

Prime Baro G serves as the basis for Earth Wars Baro.

A gold-plastic redeco of the one packed with Skywarp. Baro transforms from a buffalo-like robot into a shuriken/shield. He also has a screamingly obvious drill mode which is not shown in his instructions, yet shown in official photography. Baro has multiple 5 mm posts and peg-holes in his construction, allowing him to combine with other Arms Microns to form much bigger, more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".

He was available as part of the first wave of "AMW" (Arms Micron Weapon) Arms Microns, individually-bagged kits still on their runners, like a model kit. His extra deco is provided by customer-applied foil stickers on a sheet.
