Motorized Defenders
Originally designed by MARK in Japan for their Action Robo line and sold as 'Battle Cruiser', MARK also released the model to the West via Select seeing it renamed, 'Argonaut' for Convertors.
An additional sticker sheet was included with the battleship models, however it's not yet confirmed whether one was included with the cruiser.
Both the MARK and Select releases are identical bar the manufacturing stamp. Early release MARK Action Robo figures show just the MARK stamp while Convertors figures mostly show both MARK and Select. Later MARK figures show both stamps as well suggesting distribution began in Japan prior to the Western releases. Then MARK updated the stamp and going forward used the same figures for both distributions. There is some crossover with the Convertors figures occasionally showing only the MARK stamp. Other examples in the Convertors line strongly indicates both Action Robo and Convertors figures were packaged in the same factory leading to various mix-ups.
See main Convertors index page for more details.
