...one way or another, that sword is mine.

[shajaki]

I'm kinda tempted to get it and have a Voyager or something hold it, being so over-the-top FF7 Cloud would step over and say "C'mon man, that's just silly."

Everyone is still wondering if Legends Max will come with a sword, but PE's sword is so nice I don't even really care anymore.

[Agamemnon]

The sword is in my POL. Now if only the TR Deluxes would arrive...

[Rainmaker]

I want that sword.

Pretty much Warden's BFG with a new handle...awesome.

[Rainmaker]

If this means I can keep his legs covered then awesome!

[Agamemnon]

And it looks like it connects on the side of the tower...

And now it beings - the massive amounts of money poured into upgrading Fort Max to actually be Fort Max.

(wasn't quite counting the sword since it's an optional thing that's specific to one version of max)

Yeah, some of us did that with Metroplex too, getting Six Gun and Slammer replacements...

True, but Metroplex at least had most everything that was iconic about them aside from those little mini robo dudes - and when you spent the money on them, you at least got nice individual figures which are fun on their own and feel less a necessity for Metroplex but more something that increases what greatness there already is.
Fort Max feels like he's just gonna be an exercise in getting parts to make him actually have the things that make him iconic.

I really, really agree here.

Fort Max really feels cheap because he has so many things just moved around and sloppily left out. There's not even a remould to get rid of things like the gap left over from Metro's repair arm or the arm movement or the parts that used to attach to the large panels on the back of Max's legs. And why not do something, anything, for those hollow legs?

Building him up will be kinda fun, but I totally agree - we shouldn't have to do that to get a figure that's as good as Metroplex.

Well technically, there's nothing exactly wrong with Fort Max as a figure and as a toy - arguably he has a lot more options and play value than Metroplex. The problem is in terms of him as a character and representing the original figure - that he's missing a lot of what made him iconic like his hip cannons; Metroplex was only missing a few mini robots that most people forgot even existed.

Yeah, there's nothing technically wrong with him. He can stand on his own.

Buuuuuuuuuut, you know. He's just missing a lot. And there's a lot of neutered functionality. The hollow legs are glaring, as is the arm movement and the cut flip-out cannon (that's not there anymore). Not necessarily killing value, but it's also somewhat cheap.

...are they gonna make a second run of PC-13? Because they're running out.

[Sigma Magnus]

Any idea when the Titan's Cannon will go up for preorder? Fort Max and the not-Master not-Sword are already on the way.

...are they gonna make a second run of PC-13? Because they're running out.

This is a Perfect Effect product, so yes there will be more later.

Figured this is the best place to ask...does anyone know if Warden works with TR Fort Max?...I mean, yeah, I know it won't lock in or anything, but can it at least rest there without looking weird?

I saw a post (don't remember where) that he can sit in place, looks just slightly too big, and can't actually connect in any official capacity.

Alright. I wasn't going to display him like that anyway, I just figured I would do it for fun's sake.

Sorta on topic/off topic.
With these stand alone Headmasters in the TR line, does anyone think a 3P is going to make bodies for them? That would be the ultimate upgrade kit

Well, how many people do you think are waiting for a PE Fortress Maximus to use their Warden with?

That would be awesome. But at this point, I think they'll just make an adapter so he can connect to TR Fort Max.
