The King Baron is a type of Zoid, a race of mechanical lifeforms from the fictional Zoids universe.
Overview
The King Baron is a Lion-type Zoid, though one could also call it a Liger, as it is an improved version of the Helic Republic's King Liger design. Much as Ice Blazer was a faster, better-armed, and more chrome-covered version of the Zeekdober, the King Baron adds to the King Liger in terms of firepower and maneuverability, compensating for added weight and weapons with energy acceleration devices. It still retains the King Liger's Electromagnetic Shield.
Battle Story Appearances
The King Baron mostly saw service in the polar regions of Nyx near the end of the Republic's invasion in the 2050s. Like its predecessor, the King Liger, it was a popular choice among platoon commanders, though none saw a starring role in the Battle story. As the kit was never reissued, it never appeared in-story outside of the late OJR.
Media Appearances
Games
The King Baron appears in Genobreaker Story, usually alongside either King Liger or (oddly) one of its rivals, like Zeekdober and Ice Blazer. The King Baron can be caught on their own, or upgraded from King Liger. Their electomagnetic shield is rather unique; like Mad Thunder and Gunbluster, they can learn a move that entirely negates charged particle attacks, making them useful against Death Saurer, Gungyarados, etc.

- Assembly required. (Snap-together, no glue needed. Scissors or X-acto knife recommended for trimming off excess plastic bits.)
- The model's colours are moulded into the plastic, and it does not need any paint.
