Ok, so I played a bit (but not that much) wht Fort Max and have some feedback.
He's cool in robot mode and I appreciate the articulation on such a big figure as well as how good the robot mode looks.
And thats it for the positives, its all downhill from there. To me, a good Transformer toy means that the most important part must be the conversion and the metamorphosis that takes place. Because if all I wanted was a cool looking giant robot, I could get that from other outlets. And for a Transformer toy, this is very underwhelming. I knew the base mode would be ass in looks, but I wasnt ready for how limited the play value was. I never really looked at a review not to spoil the fun and it turns out there wasnt much fun to be had. The only feature you get in the base mode is the obvious compartment that opens which is used also as the "jail". Unless I missed something, the ramp doesnt do anything and doesnt connect anywhere. There is no projection of vehicles or secret passages, no parking in the feet, no elevator. And I really dont like the look of that base mode. I dont like how obvious the legs are with that skinnier white thigh section showing. It really looks like the robot lying down, there is nothing much to the conversion. And that central tower doesnt look right. It doesnt look like anything, with the robot arms exposed front and centre, it just looks like a mishmash and doesnt serve much purpose to the overall look. It doesnt add to it.
But I think the part I like least are those blue pieces that go on the back of the legs. I greatly dislike that cheap plastic. Its the same one used for Maximus Optimus, that cheap legion playset from the Prime line. I had to remove them to apply the stickers and removing them alone caused the tabs to get big white stress marks. And now they dont fit back in as well, and wobble when I touch them. Plus, the fact that he has that junk behind his legs means that the legs and feet are not flush against the ground, so it looks less like a fortress erected from the earth and more like a robot who fell. Another reason I dislike those blue pieces is because they exist to further add difference between this toy and Metroplex, but that just makes the seams so much more obvious. They feel like some cheap makeup applied to make it look different. They feel so apart, so tacked on, its a cheap illusion, that I simply couldnt fall for.
I am not very fond of this toy and I feel far more satisfied with the $200 I spent on the G1 version this year than the $100 I spent on this guy. I do look forward to seeing how I can integrate the base mode though, so I will get further enjoyment from this toy.
