I'm sure we'll get bodies for the heads at some point whether their released in the main line, as exclusives, or through third party companies. Or like you said during May Mayhem or something similar. Hasbro might also have the chance to release UW Blast Off next year during May mayhem

Hopefully Hasbro won't do blast off.

But they did it for Groove.

Felt the exact same about that it was disgraceful to release that.
Takara's Fort Max is the only one with colors that actually look like Fort Max colors. Neither the Hasbro retail version nor the Hasbro SDCC version has colors that match any known Fort Max color scheme. The Hasbro retail version has a Cerebros head that is based on the one Cerebros had in The Rebirth and the Marvel Comics, but that's it. The rest of the set looks nothing like the color scheme Fort Max in the cartoon.Prowl4 wrote:=P~Kurona wrote:Prowl4 wrote:So is the sdcc or general retail version of fortress maximus closer to the g1 American toon?
General Retail. SDCC has the Cerebros head and Master Sword from The Headmasters.
Yeah that's true. Does the paint on the retail fortress maximus body match the American toon?

But there's definitely other reasons to get the Takara sets as well - especially in Bruticus' case, who Brawl and Swindle aside has completely different colours. Defensor also had a different colour scheme reflecting his flatter cartoon colours more.
It's not really invalidating the Takara sets at all, and it seems a bit entitled to say "Well I waited for it so only I should get it".
Early stock photos and colored samples on display at events had them, but looking at in hand photos of the final released product, apparently the red on the feet didn't make the cut.Agamemnon wrote:I thought Hasbro Retail was supposed to have red on the top of the feet....

At the very least, Hasbro waited several months before doing their own release of Deluxe Groove, and initially only made it available in Taiwan as a Toys 'R' Us promotional exclusive. So anyone who wanted Groove badly enough got it from Takara long before Hasbro put theirs out, so anyone who got Takara's when it came out not only got first dibs on the figure but also got four other specially-painted figures and a very nice display box in which they were all packaged. Whereas Hasbro's release of Groove was bare bones and got no such bells and whistles.Prowl4 wrote:Kurona wrote:Prowl4 wrote:william-james88 wrote:Prowl4 wrote:I don't think Hasbro should be allowed to make takara exclusives as single card figures when fans of the takara version have waited.

No it's not. Takara from the get go have said they were producing groove and blast off. Perhaps you weren't looking when the entitlement and whining of Hasbro should do them started. Ever since takara announced groove there was an entitlement and now too it's starting with blast off. I believe the takara decoes are always going to be better but promoting stuff as an exclusive then somewhere else releasing it isn't an exclusive. If something in America is an exclusive the wider world don't get it. What irritates me is people going Hasbro bashing takara then looking for scraps off takaras table by getting their exclusives.

Those aren't the guns people want, though. The guns people want are guns like the two big guns that the G1 toy had that were separate from the leg cannons, which did not detach from the legs on the G1 figure. People want this Fort Max to be as armed, both handheld and body-wise, as the original.@tr_414 wrote:2 things guys...
Whoever did the display model didn't transform the right leg properly & 2nd, ALL versions of Fortress Maximus come w/the guns. The leg guns detach & have pop-out handles that fit perfectly in-hand. The only difference seems to be the Master sword. Overall nice figure. I will be picking up the Takara version.

From what I've seen, people want every gun and cannon that the original had.Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Those aren't the guns people want, though.

I thought people wanted the hip cannons the most.
