Seriously man? Why are you treating this as some new thing? It's the third release in the f&%king titan class line. Obviously they're doing well enough to release a third figure and schedule/budget 3 more after it. You keep claiming econ 101, isn't the real first step in that whole process companies putting out product that meet consumer standards? This release doesn't for a lot of fans, get over it

Nailed it!
Doesn't do a lot for fans? Or just a very few fans. I don't think it is fair to say you speak for ALL fans.

Metroplex had electronics too.Hellscream9999 wrote:Autobot N wrote:Retail is $150, SDCC is $180.
Well, alright then, maybe the electronics over-compensated, but I still feel that they could've dropped the electronics to produce a better figure

Yes, as my Fort Max will be displayed in bot mode, so the lack of base mode towers doesn't bother me in the slightest.Sigma Magnus wrote:Okay then, quick poll. Who here has the opinion that the new Fort Max meets their personal standards, and who doesn't? I, personally, feel it doesn't.

But doesnt buying a Transformer figure only for one mode defeat the purpose of it being a Transformer?

Yeah, but maybe squishing them into the deluxe guy complicated things, don't know, don't care, disappointed in the figure either way
I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but I'll give my 2 cents regardless:william-james88 wrote:Autobot N wrote:Yes, as my Fort Max will be displayed in bot mode, so the lack of base mode towers doesn't bother me in the slightest.Sigma Magnus wrote:Okay then, quick poll.

I tend to display a figure in one mode (usually robot mode or combined mode), but will often take them off of the shelf to just fiddle around with them for a while, like the Rook currently at my side.

As in the ship/boat/thing? Looking at Fort max, you could probably pull it off (but it wouldn't look as good).Hellscream9999 wrote:I was always a fan of the 'rolling shelf' mode on Metroplex, just looked formidable, I'd almost be able to give Fort Max a pass, if he could pull that mode off, oh well, another strike against him

I always enjoy reading people's 2 cents !

Well, the long ramps are now attached to his arms instead of his legs, and he has no wheels on his legs (as far as I can see) not to mention that he may not even be able to bend that way due to being engineered backwards now
