The main figure is still looking awesome though.

Need money. Need money.

I'm not seeing much kibble other than the treads that will be on his back .

How much of a parts-former is he? Looks like his waist and either his arms or legs are in the tank mode in the bottom pictures (but it doesn't appear that his entire body is part of that tank).

Pre-Ordered! Look beyond amazing. Now hopefully someone will come along and make an Overlord that isn't insanely oversized, I'd be OK with him being around Hexatrons height, so I can have these two face off.

Looks like kapow has dropped the price again to £97.99 :APPLAUSE:

It would be nice if BBTS lowered their price.

OK. Bad wording on my part. All I meant is two thirds of this product seems to be accessories.

Note: All pre-order links from the major retailers are on the first post. I've been updating it as new info comes up.

Part's forming is kind of PE's thing.

So am I right in saying that this can either be a standalone Idw fort max, or the head for G1 fort max? I'm baffled to be honest. Whats wrong with G1 fort max's head? If Perfect Effect didnt have to shoehorn this on a G1 figure then they could have scaled this properly. As it is, it is too small. I accept that Fort max's size radically changes in various media but still. We have a Hardhead from Toyworld which will be somewhat taller. Hardhead should come up to fort max's chest as a maximum. Fort max should boss them all.

Such a shame because this is a great looking figure marred by muddy thinking and making compromises that didnt have to be made. Annoying.

I don't know, I think it'll scale quite nicely once we get a FP Hardhead.

Wardens the size of a dvd case and i just measured fp chromedome against one and warden should be about 1 1/2" taller .

Well, I suppose if it isn't too small for some it's too big for others.

It'll fit my needs just fine.

Sounds bloody perfect to me. I've always said (and I maintain) that ToyWorld's figures are too big anyway.

I get that by crafting this with both IDW and G1 in mind, Perfect Effect have expanded their number of potential customers, but I honestly can't fathom why anyone would want to put this on their G1 Fort. They clearly don't belong together.

Yeah, it's a little weird as a head on G1 Max. Not Megatron Megabolt weird but weird all the same.

Most versions of Fort Max that are sapient aren't ludicrously huge, so for me he'll be just fine as my Classics Fortress Maximus.

Don't forget that for some (i.e. me) this won't be Fort Max, but Cerebros and Spike. 8-}

I'm more than happy with new classics/generations/3rd party toys being more and more comic-accurate anyway, so I'll place it next to Skids, Swerve and Whirl for a nice MTMTE crew meeting

It is a little "busy" isn't it? I'm hoping some color can make it look better.

It's not like he'll be in tank mode too often though
