So what? Fort Max has no heels either, or ankles for that matter, I was about to say that it was getting hard to resist Fort Max, but if going the way metro did of barely being able to hold a stable pose, guess I'm out >:oP

Those are metroplex'S legs. What did you expect? There's not really a way to give him ankle articulation with the amount of weight he has for any kind of stability.

I mean, I figured they were, but that doesn't mean that they couldn't have given him fold out heels - especially as he doesn't do anything with metros' leg transformation now...

Hard to make out given the angle, but can Fort actually connect with Blaster and co's base modes?

I don't like the gray that was used for PM Prime's trailer/guns and Blaster's legs. It looks too drab.

Though, anyone else seeing the conspicuous red cross symbol on the front of Prime's trailer?

Yes. there is a ramp in the front and on the sides.

I know we've observed this a lot, but it's sad that the individuals who set up these displays have no pride in their work. The G2 CW Combiners look awful.(how they are displayed, not the toys themselves) For a second I thought Powerglide was humping Superion's leg, until I realized they just left his arm down instead of trying to pose it in some dignified way.

And apparently they are sexist also, believing that just because Victorion is a female, she cant even lift up her own sword.

the red cross isnt intentional. Its the shae of the grey plastic against the red arms that is mirrored onto both sides, creating the cross.

All leader class figures can connect to one another as well as Fort Max :-D

So hyped for Titans return. Loving just about every mold. Blaster and Galvatron are must haves, with scourge and blurr right behind them. Can't wait!!

And can I just ask: What the he|| is up with the deluxe neck joints?!? Blurr's looking down and to the side! Are the heads ball jointed, or is the connector port on the body able to rock???? I seriously have to know the answers to this, like immediately [-(

Same trick the recent Voyager Brainstorm used - the Titanmaster partner's head is on a balljoint; since the lil' guy's head is the part that pegs into the main body, this balljoint can also be used for the headmode neck.

There were some reports that Voyager Brainstorm's head pegged in too snugly and the balljoint would pop off when you tried to removed the head; I'd imagine HasTak have had the chance to smooth that out for the Titanmasters.

I wanna believe you , but we haven't seen any indication of this, guess we need to wait for in-hand images. Don't get me wrong, I really wanna believe you, in fact I kinda do, but the renders at least don't show them as having that kind of clearance :-?

Looked over photos for evidence, and it might just be a rotational joint? The clearest show I've found of a Titanmaster's "neck" in action is the little Megatron/Nucleon guy being transformed in the Titanmaster's facebook video, worth a look.

Yeah, I've seen it, I think it may just have room to rock but not enough to be a full fledged ball joint; still, if this is true, it's enough to make me reconsider not getting a lot of the deluxe's...

Glad to see some more blurr and scourge love. I'm surprised no one's talked about sentinel primes color scheme. Unless I'm behind on this it looks like he has quite a few new colors that the initial render didn't have.

Not really, they're just different and kinda blend together, you know, in the worst possible way :HEADHURTS:

Does Fortress Maximus come with a gun/weapon like Metroplex did??

I see that in the box art it shoes a blue one, but haven't seen the one that comes with the figure itself.

I keep thinking Fort Max is mistransformed. His boots look like they should open out in some way, but they aren't here or on the box. Metroplex's opened.
