I've been daydreaming along those lines myself, actualy.
In one version, i'm director of G-force use, and our prime mecha is MechaKong!Lots of cordinated action with the armed forces, and , for the record,.....the army gets to put ablative armor on the tanks. One good shot, and the tank lives, but has to break off action to avoid Godzilla giveing them a second dose. Oh, and flying mecha along the lines of Super X-3.
And another, is the "Reign of fire" plot, only the use of mecha styled after the AV-98 Ingrams of "Patlabor" gives the Dragons a bloody nose.
Yeah....i have an active imagination...never said it was sane....

I have not ever seen a model of the shock trooper.  I think that the line had started to fall off when the Invid story finally came about.

Did find a picture of what appears to be a toy, probably the one you already know of:

I always wanted a MAC II model, that thing was so cool looking.

I'm surprised there's never been a garage kit of them.

Yup, that's the large toy, the little levers sticking out of the hands are a dead give away. I actually bought one of those when Playmates re-released all the toys, but I ended up returning it. It really wasn't very impressive looking when you see it in person. It's EXACTLY like the smaller Scout figure (which wasn't a true scout, it was just the trooper painted red and missing the cannons) just larger. The head opened up to accept a small figure. I even though about trying to modify one of the scout figures, but I could never figure out a way to make the cannons or attach them, and then all the figures disappeared from the stores.

>I always wanted a MAC II model, that thing was so cool looking.

A couple companies made kits of this. The trick to finding them is to look for its proper Macross name "Destroid Monster". There's a kit up for auction on eBay right now, but it's up to $49. Seeing as how these are older kits, you'll have to pay quite a bit for them. I also found reference to a company called Yellow Submarine making resin kits of some of the Macross mecha including the Monster.

One of my future projects will be that live-action BubbleGum Crisis movie.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
