Hmm...yeah, are there any differences between this and the retail version? I'd love to see a comparison shot. (also: I appreciate the new banner, guys )

[Hellscream9999]

Wow, I don't know if it is the big head, paint apps, or pose, but SDCC Ft. Max looks like an anorexic Titan...

It's probably because the ab 'cannons' blend in with the background, making it hard to tell that he has a full abdomen

Courtesy of Hasbro, we just received additional images of the San Diego Comic-Con 2016 version of the upcoming Titans Return Fortress Maximus, which was officially unveiled earlier this morning. The SDCC version comes with the Master Sword and has some addition deco differences. The Convention Edition of Fort Max will be available at SDCC (July 21-24) and it will also be available at the Fan Expo Canada this fall (Sept. 1-4). Check out the new pictures below.

TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS: TITANS RETURN TITAN CLASS FORTRESS MAXIMUS Convention Edition

Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $179.99/Available at Booth #3329 at Comic-Con International in San Diego

Harness the power! The TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS TITANS RETURN TITAN CLASS FORTRESS MAXIMUS Convention Edition brings the TRANSFORMERS battle into uncharted territory when the Titans Return. Fans can up their battle power by combining two additional pieces to the special FORTRESS MAXIMUS figure – the TITAN MASTER EMISSARY and CEREBROS figures. The Triple Changer FORTRESS MAXIMUS figure features robot, battle station and Autobot city modes which allows the figure to unite with TITANS RETURN LEADER CLASS figures (sold separately) to form a Cybertron City. The Convention Edition figure features collectible packaging and comes with a special edition poster, three accessories and a mighty sword for players to use in playtime battle. The TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS: TITANS RETURN TITAN CLASS FORTRESS MAXIMUS Convention Edition will be for sale at San Diego Comic-Con 2016. Following the convention, a limited number will be available on HasbroToyShop.com.

Nevermind, no Cerebros head, retail version for me

[william-james88]

I may be super dense, so please forgive me, but is it just me or does the main difference in the deco from he retail version appear to be taht this guy has different stickers? Pretty weak.

[Kurona]

This is... pretty much the Takara guy with inferior apps then, huh?

Nevermind, no Cerebros head, retail version for me

Description says it comes with Emmisary. Isn't that the head of Cerebros here?

[Sigma Magnus]

Seems like it. And since Takara will likely be cheaper, if I get a Fort Max I'll import it from there.

They mean that Cerebros' head here is based on the one from The Headmasters rather than The Rebirth. Difference being he actually had a face in Japan while in America it was a faceplate and visor.

Great pics Ryan! Awesome that they sent you one so we can see it. Thanks for posting!

While it will be cheaper, it might cost you more when you include shipping. Takara will cost 50$ to ship. Here is the link to the best price for the takara one and it will come out to 230 shipped: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail ... agecnt%3D1

And that is exactly the same price as buying it from TF Source http://tfsource.com/legends-series/lg31 ... s-maximus/

This guy instead will be 200$ or below. So the cheaper one for an American will be the SDCC version, which will probably be available from HTS.

Ah, got it!

[galvatron00]

Woo hoo!! We see the sword and the face for the Takara version via this press release!!

And at $180 USD plus free shipping from HTS probably, not bad at all!

I also like the fact that he is all put together in the box , like the last two SDCC Titans (you don't have to attach the arm).

If you look, the face is different

[Randomhero]

I like the look. The sword means nothing to me(yes I've seen Heasmasters, don't care, it still means nothing to me) but I'm still just planing on finding him when he's out in a store.

Has the Takara head for cerebros been revealed yet or is the fist time seeing the alternate head? I've looks but have yet to come across Takara revealing was fortress(the head) was going to look like

Oh. The background looked a lot like your galleries, so I assumed you had taken them.

Yeah, Kurona set me straight. I didn't get that from the original message. Tis all good.

Takara has yet to reveal fortress or the swords.

Its really odd how they are witholding that when you compare to how they couldnt stop bombarding us with awesome images of all the new stuff their Devastator had. Something tells me they arent as proud of this release.

Tokyo Toy Show happened a week earlier this year, SDCC is happening later in July this year, I have a feeling that it has more to do with timing. Unite Warriors Devastator was unveiled June 19th, 2015: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... led/33260/

Give Takara's Fort Max some time before jumping to conclusions.

[ZeroWolf]

Nice, I like this better than the retail version, it's the fortress head. It's leagues better than the normal head.

@d-max you rather have the g1 toon head?

[dragons]

Do any of the 3 known versions actually come with his gun(s)?

All versions of fortress Maximus come with guns saw video review last month by optibotimis maybe it was Peaghua his guns detach from his legs and can be put in his hands to hold

Alright, but they did start flaunting the new features that differed it from Hasbro before that: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... uns/33182/

@d-max you rather have the g1 toon head?

Yes. I have no attachment to the Headmasters series and I liked Cerebros' head in the Rebirth (which is among my favorite G1 episodes). Plus, mouthplates are awesome to me
