Another much wanted image from the TFND Photostream: Max holding his leg cannons!   |

One last one: Another parts reuse we've not spotted before: the bottom of the detachable cannon on the side of the leg is the fold out cannon from the top of Metroplex's shoulder.  Still think thank unit looks like it can open. Fab photos from TFND, got a lot of things that haven't been caught on camera before. |

Good enough reason to go Takara right there I think. That version won't have the awkward looking red rimmed holes on his legs if the guns are detached. I'm not sure why Hasbro have done that like that anyway. Given they've been seeking a more G1 toy inspired colour scheme for this line, the original doesn't have big red sockets there.

I've went ahead and pre-ordered the Takara Fort Max.

In fairness, if you detached the cannon he would have had big grey sockets instead so it isn't a huge difference in my mind... (Allowing for the fact that the original Fortress Maximus knee-guns weren't intentionally detachable. I say "intentionally" because I have an amazing talent for detaching all sorts of things, regardless of whether or not they are _supposed_ to come off. Fortunately it is usually accompanied by the reciprocal ability to put them back in place as well!) Karl |

Yes, but the grey on grey you wouldn't notice so much. The red is very glaring and isn't right. It highlights what's already wrong when the guns are attached.

That's a ridiculous amount of posability in such a large figure A++/10

Liking the look of that unofficial city mode; that's definitely what I'll be using.
Now what are the chances of that bastard showing up in Singapore in the next five days? Low, I'd wager. Will probably hit on Saturday when I've left...

Probably a good thing. He'd need his own plane ticket to get home.

No wonder we have not seen the leg split photo - that does look bad.

All I said was about the white knee guard that has been removed & Fortmax's foot doesn't look good folded out.

Pretty much what I was expecting. Pretty much still buying. And it's gotta be Hasbro for me - after all these years with just a Brave Max (yeah, I know - I suffer, I suffer) I need a proper Cerebros. Because I do.

A toy at that price-point with that many *@~~2~3~@~~~*&^ stickers?  Fuck off! Combined with earlier stress mark reports and my interest has vanished entirely. I shall be content with my ye olde Brave Max. -Ralph |

Now that looks nice. But I've learned my lesson. I'm gonna be strong enough to resist paying that premium.
Right?
