Saturday 13th is the big night for Toy Fair news but we might get to see Max in some pre Toyfair press release before then.

Look forward to the inevitable 80,000 third party tread add-ons! Surely the third party companies are already rushing to put out their own Fortress Maximuses? You know, on account of them being perceptive of the gaps in the markets, and all. |

It's only people who steal from the folk who actually worked hard on them who do that.

Could he have 3 modes? I expect the thing on his leg is a cockpit for the Titanmaster to sit in. It does have a Cybertron Metroplex feel to it. It looks like something slides on the rightside lower torso (left side of picture where that red bit is)

He very much looks like there's a battle station mode too from this pic, just fold the legs together! tmukhub.proboards.com/post/215688/threadCould he have 3 modes? I expect the thing on his leg is a cockpit for the Titanmaster to sit in. Have you ever handled and original Max pete? That's a cannon for the base mode www.tfu.info/1987/Autobot/FortressMaximus/fortressmaximus.htmIt does have a Cybertron Metroplex feel to it. Did you mean Generations Metroplex? See above for minor parts reuse in the lower arms and feet. www.tfu.info/2006/Autobot/Metroplex/metroplex.htmNot really sure I can see the Cybertron version in him It looks like something slides on the rightside lower torso (left side of picture where that red bit is) I think that might be attached to the panel the shoulder is on and that folds across his chest maybe? |

Great Scott! What a lovely looking 'Former! Frak me sideways. I'm seriously impressed. Isn't that more of a Brave Max paint scheme? And it looks like a totally new mold! Heavily retooled anyway.

Hands, forearms, elbows, knees and some of the feet. Everything else seems to be new. I really didnt expect quite that much remoulding.

Pants are most definitely filled. That thing is beautiful.
Now how am I going to justify the purchase of that to my fiancee? Oh, wait, I don't have to - we've broken up. Hurrah!
Hmmm.
Yeah... Actually this does make everything better. :-D

Sorry to hear that, Llama, but yes toy buying will be much easier for you.

There's a little bit of extra red round the leg cannons but apart from that.
The most obvious things missing are the forearm cannons. There's a hint at the waist cannons there, so they might still slide out.

I thought Fort Max had more grey... Anyway, matters not, it's a very impressive figure. What a brute.

And the midriff too. The grey is darker. And I love what he's done with his hair!

Now that's what I call chunky!
Look at that waist compared to Metroplex. This is going to be one beefy bugger. Suddenly Titan Trypticon doesn't seem so improbable.
More! Show us the city!

So all they have done is just put the legs on the wrong way round & then done his back for Fort Max's front. But does look good - unless FortMax's back is a mess? I think the TM could be small enough to fit in that foot gun port. with that circle on top being a gun port. Could we take Fort's arm ramps off & fit them on Metroplex? We need hold of the toy & someone to take it apart to check that. toys.tfw2005.com/metroplex-with-drill-bit-1612It's the blue arm & white upper legs that make me think of TFC Metroplex. |
