It's a great figure in its own right, representing IDW's version of Fort Max, but it has a commander mode, which is him turning into a head that fits onto G1 Fort Max, giving him a more proportionate head.Mkdlmr wrote:Also, any upgrades and/or complementary figures for G1 Fortress Maximus?

If you want to do the scene from FFoD part 4 where he attacks and destroys the Ark, you should turn Trypticon around, or swap their places.

If it's an original, be careful. Age and use probably wore the ratchet joints down so be gentle. You might have to actually take the leg apart to see what the problem is.Mkdlmr wrote:Any advice on how to loosen G1 Fort Max's tight hips? Adjusting the screws seem to have minimal impact...

My vote goes to that, with emphasis on looking at the state of the spring and for particles that may be jamming the joint.

Are there any repair/disassembly instructions?

None that I know of, but you should be able to get by with a narrow Phillips screwdriver, a long one because from what I can tell they're deep in there. Also get some lids or saucers to put the screws in, preferably one for each moving section of the legs, and a LARGE workspace.
I hate it that you have to take the whole leg apart foot to hip just to gain access, but that's how the leg is constructed.

Something silicon based that is safe for plastics I guess?
Mkdlmr wrote:How safe are the plastics from third party companies? I know toys made in the '70s and '80s potentially contained all sorts of nasty stuff. I'm primarily curious about some upgrade kits from DNA design.
Mkdlmr wrote:Thanks for letting me know. That makes me a little sad...
Any idea what Takara's safety standards are compared to Hasbro? I imagine anything within the past decade is probably safe...
