Indeed. Rolls off the tongue well enough as well.

but i am also very, very, very, very much hoping this head master line is leading up to a fortmax. i mean really very, very hopeful. Fansproject seems to be going full-tilt into this headmaster thing so why not!!??

and then a brave and grand maximus repaint tee hee. please please PLEASE!!!!!!

Scorponok too, please? (Though I do like the Energon version...)

*sigh*

There's just too much. If there weren't so many great things coming out I'd probably get this (even if I'm not crazy about the chaarcter), but there's a lot of other things coming out / are out now that I want over this guy.

yeah wasnt headrobots coming out with a black zarak upgrade kit for the cybertron repaint of energon scorponok at some point? What happened with that? That was shaping up to be BA with a base mode and everything!

FP are closer to the affordable end of the 3rd Party spectrum, but still I think my wallet would run and hide and cry if FP did Scorpy and Max. Unless they made them at Voyager/Ultra size maybe.

Anyway, I'm pretty much down for all the FP Headmasters (at least from the original series, not sure on the Jrs.) and still have a tiny little hope they might find room to put Arcee in this lot. Kinda be nice if they did the Horrorcons and Targetmasters as well.

well there's no question it would be expensive but, when you think about it, considering the price that large 3rd party figs are going for i.e. genesis, complete combiners, and even mmc cyclops, and then compare that to what a reissue of fortmax costs I'll bet you could have an equally scaled 3rd party fort max for a not too outrageous price.

what i mean is people seem to want to pay what a fortmax costs and i think we could have a comparably sized 3rd party fortmax for an equally comparable price.

i said in another post about the new 3rd party not overlord that when you do the math large 3rd party figs, though few in example, seem to go for about $20 per inch. So even if a fortmax was only 18" we're talking around $400. For a fully articulated, dare i say, even l.e.d. lit (ala genesis) fortmax, hell YES id be in on that!!!!!

and that's the worst case scenario. These fp headmasters aren't too expensive even as compared to other similarly sized 3rd party figs such as grindrod, or hell, even Perfect effect's little tiny guys are like the same price!

just sayin for shits and giggles, what if.... http://www.fortressmaximus.com/catalog/Fortress+Maximus

I've always said that it's not the amount of plastic used to make a figure, but rather the number of parts needed for the figure that justifies the cost.

Etching molds be expensive yo.

fo sho muh bruthuh fo sho

This figure is awesome! I think it's my favourite of the three shown so far.

I love the alt mode and the transformation.

give me a $400 G1-sized, but fully articulated Fort Max, and I'll be all over it. Chromedome is good fun, UUUU looks great and Smart Robin (can't we just call him Tim?) has me excited too.

I dont get the meaning behind the name "quadruple U". Somebody please enlighten me...

Nah, Quadruple U is a great "homage" to the original character, just like the toy

Thank you sir!

Thanks! And makes sense. Their Stunticons are almost done. Now onto their Headmasters.

I love the body. But Im not digging the black face with the stupid white chin strap. WTF is going on with the Function X heads ?

Code - faceplate not G1 orange

Smart Robin - No faceplate at all

Quadruple U - black face with a white chin strap


If FP is going to make all the heads crappy miss-colored renditions of the Headmasters cartoon which sucked, can they at least sell an alternate set of heads based on the Rebirth later on ? Ill buy them and I wont even complain. Just make them available.

The headmasters is a different team. They were making these independent of the Stunticons, as far as I remember.

Quad-U looks almost ready! Can't wait!
