The Energon Pub

so does he usually go for 600-700? and am i right or wrong about him being just about the biggest G1?

The price is right.

He's the biggest Transformer (unless that Beast Machines Cheetor was...).

Realize too, there's different versions in Japan, with either more or extremely less accessories.

Here's his inventory, though the Japanese one also had a big freaking sword:

The recolored one was "Grand Maximus":

He's the most expensive and comes with the most stuff.

(The Robots in Disguise version was actually called "Brave Maximus"):

He was a cool color, but REALLY stripped of his parts. There was a "lucky draw" contest for an updated blue version of his sword though.

thanks man. what out of all of them is the cheapest and not so rare?

Probably Brave Maximus.
He was the last one, made in 2000.
He too was Japan-only, but did get a quick release from a comics distributor, still in japanese packaging.
(He failed newer US toy safety tests... shatters into unsafe shards when dropped from a few feet).

But ALL he has is 2 heads, a small gun, radar dish, and... yeah lol.
If you go on eBay trying to Frankenstein weapons from the other Maximus' people stripped down themselves, you'll find the parts go for ALOT of money.

at the 2006 Botcon.. I found some KO guns for Fort Max. they were like $15. I had just gotten a Brave Max from a friend so it was nice to have some guns for him. I have no idea who the seller was or who made the KO guns. I didn't see them at botcon this year(guns or seller)
