However big he is, his titan master partner would have to be the size of a legends or deluxe figure, or even larger, making it incompatible with the other Titan Masters figures, and the bot would have to transform into a dinosaur head instead of a human-ish robot head, another incompatibility with the rest of the line. At least Fort Max will probably have Spike the size of a normal Titan Master. Trypticon doesn't get that luxury unless they make HIM a double headmaster, which would still require the larger head unit to turn into a dino head and sacrifice some cool selling points like mouth articulation and shape and general form factor. I'm sure they'll make Trypticon's base mode compatible with the little Titan Master robots and able to link up with other basebots.

I think Fort Max is going to be a double Titan(Head)master, with Spike and Cerebros both. Perhaps Trypticon could do the same thing. They could use his minions, Wipe-Out, Full-Tilt, and Brunt.

I'm not saying I like it, just that it may be a possibility....

Cough cough Full tilt cough cough
He said Full-Tilt.

He didn't say it I even re-read it :/he only said headmaster partner

I would hope they leave Tryp alone and just make Scorponok the titan master when he comes out. Never hurts to get headmasters later on. they can show up again later

Yeah, it would unnecessarily rack up parts count and plastic (a precious commodity within titan class figures already) that could otherwise be used to make him more solid/satisfactory >:oP

I could see a headmaster full tilt though...

Any extra plastic on full tilt would take away from tryp. Is that really what you want?

Yeah, I could too, I was merely pointing out that it's unnecessary, even if he is being released under the tw banner, he doesn't have to have a headmaster. It would simply be a detriment to him, all he has to do is link up with the other bases.

If you want to respond to someone, quote their comment, not someone else quoting them, unless you want to respond to both statements and make it clear what part of your response is addressed to which quote. And please stop with the multi-posting.

Oh definitely. The lineart from Botcon showed this, as did the blurry slide that showed him off. He's getting Spike as a headmaster for Cerebros, who is himself Fort Max's headmaster.

Perhaps Trypticon could do the same thing. They could use his minions, Wipe-Out, Full-Tilt, and Brunt.

I'm not saying I like it, just that it may be a possibility....

i sincerely hope not. Titans Return doesn't have to be all Titan Masters.

Way to contribute to the conversation. >:oP

I wonder if the new Fort Max will be compatible with Perfect Effect's Warden like the original is.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 3:38 pm

That all depends on the neck connection and we could be waiting for a few months to see those kinds of pictures. Though I wouldn't worry too much as I'm sure someone will create a more idw design to transform into titan max head.

And the Encore release of G1 Fort Max has already fulfilled my need for a city-sized Fort Max (which The Headmasters cartoon spawned based on how awesome Fort Max was in that show), so this new Titan Fort Max will really have to blow me away if it wants my money.

And since her just a repaint/retool (same thing to me) of Metroplex, there is little chance of that.

A retool that changes everything but the forearms, including the transformation. It's basically a new toy with Plex's arms.

Sorry, but at that price point basically isn't anywhere near good enough.

You see re tools and repaints as the same? Isn't that a bit unfair to hasbro as they've done some very good work with retooling and fort max looks to be heavily retooled.

What does fair have to do with it?

This is my money. Hasbro has to earn it from scratch each and every purchase. There is no loyalty in economics.

You start with the retool argument, move on to the price point argument...

If you don't want it, don't buy it. It's that simple.

...So, having only the biceps in common with 'plex is tantamount to being identical to metroplex, and is therefore a worthless figure... #-o

I wonder how much fort max was to develop, compared to metroplex. If money wasn't a problem (and if space wasn't a problem) I would drop money on both as I feel fort is a lot different then metro especially being a double headmaster (and the included master sword is icing on the cake)
