Agreed ! Battroid is way cooler than Gundams. That's a fact for us, Macross fans and to some others. But, if you display a gundam next to the battroid in a store, which one would people buy most? I believe with Gundam's soaring popularity based on the recent anime show popularity rankings...which mostly were dominated by Gundams series (there's a thread on this, I believe, not too long ago), its not rocket science to predict that Gundams will sell more. At least, if they (Yamato) display it in fighter mode, with some pictures of battroid modes on the box/packaging, people would then start wonder about the transformation sequence & whatnot and they'll eventually remember watching a small anime serie called Macross Zero not too long ago....and then,
