I've really grown to like IDW Fort Max and this is a really solid looking sculpt. I'll give them my money.

I'll probably get this as my Fort Max, too. Him and Scorponok were, IIRC, usually not as big as Metroplex or trypticon.

I thought Fort Max was supposed to be bigger than Metroplex. I only remember seeing them together early in the Headmasters cartoon, tough I don't remember if they were on screen at the same time.

Grand Maximus seemed to shrink considerably for the Masterforce series...

In the Marvel comics he was about the size of most other Transformers for most of the time he was on-panel. There's one shot of him next to Galvatron and they're about the same height. Scorponok, barring the cartoon has almost always been big, but not even as big as Omega Supreme.

He's too short to be IDW Fort Max. Right now he's the height of Ultra Magnus, and should be about an inch or two taller.

Yeah but he's close. If i recall correctly, Fort Max has grown a little since his appearance in LSotW anyway.

Ahhhh I meant this PE figure is the size of a IDW Ultra Magnus. FM should be a few inches taller than a Voyager figure. I guess this thing is limited in scale due to the fact that they want to accommodate it to fit as Cerebros.

So is this going to be the Russian doll of the Transformers universe?

Come on Perfect Effect, lay it all out for us already. :BANG_HEAD:

Looks a fantastic figure its on the must have list. As for the deco am gonna wait see what repaints happen.

News Credits: 10 · by **Arctorro** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 8:12 am

He is looking fantastic! No way in hell I'm forking out for Fort Max to go with him, so there would have to be an updated city-former body before I could justify buying him.

I'll buy him regardless of a body in headmasters cartoon he was a head most the time any way but he will never be in alt mode on the shelf so its not really a bother. If they do eventially do a body hopfully it knocks the price down.

Will get! He looks almost too big on the Fort Max body...

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:32 am

That is the freakiest base/ weapon mode ever! o_O

Looks like he's going to be part of a series of toys, take a look at that instruction manual (?), you can make out blue + symbols connecting the four rows.

This looks super fantastic

I'm really mixed up about this. On one hand, it's an amazing figure and that alone cannot be stressed enough, imo. However, I'm conflicted... will there be a Fortress Maximus body eventually? If not, will they work on a Scorpinok to go toe to toe with him? I don't want to have to shell out for a second Fort Max by a different 3rd who went the extra mile to give us a true city-former whose body doesn't connect with PE Fort Max. However, I could be content with this offering if they release a Scorpinok of similar height.

ARGH!! The utter bastards! The answers are so close, but they have to go and blur everything. The utter, utter bastards. :BANG_HEAD:

It does look pretty good though. I simply can't afford the official Fotress Maximus anytime soon, so thank god IDW came along and made it acceptable for him to be smaller.

I would love a city-bot though.
