He never wielded them in The Headmasters cartoon. Japanese Fort Max was always strictly a sword-wielding bot.Seibertron wrote:Where are the damn guns?????????

But... it's Takara's Fort Max that has the most toy-accurate deco. About the only thing the Hasbro retail and SDCC Fort Maxes have over the Takara one in terms of toy-accuracy is the green shoulder window instead of Takara's blue shoulder window.william-james88 wrote:It seems like if someone wants to get the best hmage to the original toy, they should just get the SDCC version with the Hasbro asia sword.

Welcome to the Transformers fandom. You must be new around here.
The white paint on the shoulders of Takara's Fort Max is meant to emulate the silver stickers that were on the original Fort Max's shoulders, which were represented in the Japanese cartoon (when his animation model was colored properly) by white triangles:william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But... it's Takara's Fort Max that has the most toy-accurate deco.

The major factor behind me getting the Takara release over the SDCC one has always been the audio that is coming with it. From what I've heard the original voice actor for Fortress is recording lines, AND a clip of the theme song will be in there!!LE0KING wrote:Ha ha, but seriously though, do you guys only eat ramen noodles, or have I been chatting it up with millionaires this whole time.Kurona wrote:Welcome to the Transformers fandom.

I almost got the sdcc version from hts but after shipping and taxes it was alittle over 200 bucks. So I got the basic hasbro one instead.

Some people here are rich. I have read people stating (true or not) about buying all kids of large amounts of 3rd party combiners, and other expensive stuff, even though they've got a house, kids, a partner and other expenses.
I can;t even afford a car, have no kids and have a reasonably paid job, but I still can;t afford half the stuff people buy here.
However, as I do live in Japan, I can get Fort Max and most Japanese TFs cheaper than most people (usually via Amazon Japan pre-order and sometimes at the wholesale price, but alas not this time).
Living here also gives me access to cheap ramen, yakisoba, sushi and hot Japanese girls and women.
But that, as they say, is another lawsuit/moderator comment/perma-ban...

Same here. At times it isn't the matter of choice but availability. In my case, I have no choice but a willing choice to get the JP version as the pricing between the SDCC version or Hb and their availability is next to nil.
And Leoking, stereotyping tends to limit your view of the broader scope of things. You don't have to believe everything what some members here type about their purchasing habits. As they say, even in journalism, only about 50% reported is actually truth, the rest are a figment of their creative imaginations.
The proof is that some might rant against the price of import TFs yet will purchase all sorts of figure lines other than TFs. It's like what? Why not just focus on a single line and save on the cash for more import TFs etc etc etc
