Every TF collector should have this mold in their collection. I keep mine in head mode. I bought it mostly for that mode. Bot mode secondly. Tank mode doesn't even exist in my mind.
I have zero interest in tankformers whatsoever. But that head mode is such a refreshing change for TF alt modes. I think it's brilliant and executed perfectly.
I'd love to own this repaint but it's a real pricey figure (completely worth every penny) and having a second one just seems excessive.

Yea... his head mode is the only alt mode I consider official.

The fan modes, of heavenly conception, are way nicer than that afterthought of a "tank" mode.

I wonder if anyone would use that head mode as Zordon from power rangers.

You could, technically just place him on a desk and get his passive mode (aka lazy-ass mode) easily :lol:

Still don't know if I'm getting this. Maybe on sale. Warden is awesome, but I'm not sure I need a repaint just yet. First I'll try and get the other (FP) Headmasters in line.

Holy hell, Japanese Fort Max/Cerebros has a badass voice.

I'm not sure I'd get this color version, as cool as it is, for the simple reason that Brave Maximus is much harder to get hold of than Fortress Maximus. Even without Fort Max though... he's just awesome. The tank mode kinda reminds me of a mars rover actually.

If someone ever makes a 3rd party Fort Max with proper articulation and detailing that's compatible with this I'll spring for both. Shame it will probably cost a fortune...

Prob not, but I would say we won't see another run with this guy like we did with Warden.

yeah i can see this guy only getting one run. ill probably have to get him while hes still readily available instead of waiting till im ready (ie: ready to get a brave max).

has anyone watched the latest retro robot radio? they say that the original run of Guardian was about 800 pieces, and was a "preview" run or something. apparently the "official" run of him has now been cancelled, so whatever is out there is all there is.

ive checked all the major retailers, and he's still in stock. i doubt he's going anywhere, but im going to make him one of my next priorities.

Interesting. I'll have to consider picking him up.
