Nah, just one that's within easier reach.I'm praying e-Hobby will do either a Grand or Brave Maximus repaint, with all accessories including the sword.
I own Fortress Maximus, Grand Maximus and Brave Maximus. I can't wait for Encore Fortress Maximus. I also hope that they will do this smart and do the other two as well. It'll be nice to see so many people getting to enjoy the largest Transformers toy yet. Kudos to Takara for finally doing it after all of these years.

AutoBorst wrote:$60.00 for MP Rumble/Ravage??? I know BBTS likes to price gouge hot new items but that sounds pretty crazy to me. Just another reason to wait for Hasbro to release their version next year.
I'm still betting MP Soundwave will be a SDCC'13 exclusive and already include all the cassettes, and not cost me $300+.
I'm for sure not moving on this until it gets closer to release. I'll pay it, but 60 is crazy.

Maybe now would be an appropriate time to launch Grand Maximus' gallery. Hm ...

Not just that, but maybe sticky the Fortress Maximus gallery for a bit? Only fitting, especially considering the possibility of e-Hobby releasing Grand (once they find the mold for the Pretender shell that is)
The resident Rewind... well, half of one

Huge Transformers News....?
Hmmm large sum of money on an obselete giant brick or awesome 3rd party homage, now thats a difficult decision!

For that price they need to articulated him into some sort of super Transformer!
Regarding the Masterpiece Evil Cassettes, do we know their sizing yet? Could I be right in saying they will be around the same size as the KO Oversized Cassettes that turn up every now and then?
Keen to keep picking up more Generations figures when ever we finally get them over here in the United Kingdom, Foc and Prime too!

Even though the shipping costs (and eventual customs costs) to Europe are through the roof, Encore FM is pre-ordered!!! Still going to end up cheaper for me than Brave Maximus was
Considering MP Soundwave was shown at a show holding a regular G1 mini-casette, I'm guessing the MP-15 cassettes will actually be around that size, so... pretty small (but much more intricate!).

This is the one Transformer I would have never guessed they'd reissue! Great news. I have no regrets about buying the original 2 years back but I will def. buy this one too.
Here's hoping they also reissue Grand Max! I really hope this is not some fake April fools joke. I would be Max'd out!

Expect ebay to have a crash in the price for Fort Max
Anyway, this is a good thing for collectors who have been waiting all these years
Already own the USA version which, sadly lacks his "Master swords", so all I need are the reproduction swords to make him complete.
I hope to be able to score the MP cassettes, and no, the price justifies the intricate engineering that went into it.
To quote a line in a classic anime film " If there is a god, there must be a devil.........if there is a chojin........there must be an evil king/kyo....."
So, if Fortmax is coming, then SCORPONOK could be following next?

I'd donate mine if they want to reverse engineer it and can assure me that they would be able to get it back to me in one piece.

No. I've wanted this since I was three years old.
This. He's within reach, but doesn't make me want him any less.
Preordered him and the MP-15 set. Good LORD this is a glorious day!

Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Oooh I must have missed that one, but interesting to know. Would you happen to have a size comparison of Soundwave against someone we all know and own?
If the MP Cassettes are coming out at the same size as the original G1 Cassettes, they make for a very small Masterpiece again!
Maybe its just me, but I kinda liked Masterpiece when they where bigger and bolder than everything else, not just a highly detailed Voyager!

Already have him from my Childhood, but the option of keeping one MISB is too much to handle. Preordered. I too am eagerly awaiting a Scorponok, Black Zarak (with corrected plastic) and Grand Maximus coming out soon.

I guess nobody gonna talk about that Meg, I wonder how different it he from the original? Maybe with his Dark energon sword? I somehow wished that maybe he could be the same size as AM-21 but looking at the Voyager pricing, I don't think so.

Re: HUGE TRANSFORMERS NEWS: Encore Fort Max, MP-15, Generations, Prime
Unless something has changed since we last saw the prototype MP cassettes, they are the same size as the G1 cassettes since those too can also fit into MP Soundwave's.robotmel wrote:

Even with greater articulation and little features, I don't see that being worth $30.00 a pop for a figure that's still not going to be any taller than 3-4".

Can you explain what you mean? I have AM Vehicon and AM Jet Vehicon, and they're both black. Vehicon has a blue bot body and Jet Vehicon has a purple bot body, but the vehicles are the same color.

Im more of a moderist these days

Anything pre-Universe can bite my shiny metal ass!!

This release will obviously be welcomed for the hardcore G1 folk which is cool

He means the 'bot mode. the AM JV is a bright metallic pink as opposed to the purple of AM V, and why you're refering to said pink as purple is.....*facepalm*
He's basically wants the JVG to have a purple robot mode instead of a pink one. And the pink really is weird when the JV's are purple on screen.
