Baron (Bikeverse)

Baron is a Toro-brand 5-speed manual transmission riding lawn mower from the late 1990s. He features briefly in one scene in When Bikes Argue 2.

In reality
Baron was purchased in late 1998, when it became clear to the family upon moving in to the house in Grand Ledge that a simple push mower wouldn't be adequate to cut the grass on its 2-1/2-acre lot. He was eventually traded in for a green mower that was larger than the one that played Clove. Baron's fate in real life remains unknown after that, but the mower that replaced him was inherited by the family that took over the house after the Dozerfleet founder's family moved out in 2021.

In universe
Baron is probably one of the most bored-with-life vehicles in the pole barn. Still, he is intimidated by Bludger's fanaticism, and feels betrayed by Clove's. He attends "Meetings on Ending Muhammy al-Dracula," just to keep the other two happy (and because he has nowhere else to go.)  His relative inaction proves to be of no comfort to Ackro, who concludes Baron to be just as useless as Barry.

Personality
Baron just wants to tow the line to keep the others happy, though he is generally apathetic about the War on Terror.

Trivia

 * A lawn mower accident that put a member of the family in the hospital occurred due to a stone that flew out of Baron, in July of 1999.
 * His name is a reference to Manfred von Richthofen, better known to WWI pilots as the "Red Baron," on account of his red paint job.
