That looks awesome! Do we know what he used to cut it with? What kind of glue? I really want to do that to when I get Galvatron.

We dont know, but I left the facebook link in the post so you can click it and reach out to the guy.

They probably used superglue, but hot glue probably would work too.

Anyone in the states have a Fry's Electronics near them? They apaprently received the Titans Return deluxes. If you find them, please send us a pic.

Fry's is mostly in California, but here's the one closest to Seibertron's house.

Oh I know, but I was wondering if I could get a confirmation from a fellow seibertronian Plus I would rather it be from an actual customer and not an employee to hae a better idea of the retail price.

For some people this will be a stupid question.
But is this new Fort Max truly that impressive??

I like Takara's deco better. It's the only one of the three that actually looks like Fort Max.

Not a stupid question in the least, thats why this forum exists, amongst other reasons. I personally am unimpressed. I dont like his base mode, but thats because I had the expectations of the G1 toy with better articulation (this is not it). Looking at it from a toy perspective, it is very unimpressive since it is a retool of Metroplex that keeps vestigial components that dont serve as anything anymore. Like the opening legs and the big arm moving mechanism on his right breast that can no longer move his arm.

I may still get him, but once the prices become more reasonable (dont know if its common in the US, but in Canada, there are price adjustments, especially at walmart).

I am also unimpressed at the moment. I will still be getting him, albeit waiting until closer to Christmas for a sale, but he is not the big bang I had hoped for.

Being a retool, and a huge one at that, it's a bit disappointing considering there is only 1 of this size made per year, and being a retool makes it feel a bit less of an event, especially when parts from the original are removed and left hollow. Now he is much more bulked up than Metroplex was torso wise, but the arms now look a little wimpy with the lack of huge shoulders.

I like the colors and the details, but the fact that he is a retool lets me down a good bit.

I think it's a pathetic attempt to cash in on our nostalgia by painting up metroplex like fort max, and plunking a new head onto it. It has nothing that made the original fort max stand apart form the other city-formers, and doesn't even have the iconic city mode; it's nowhere near worth retail price, and there's really nothing special about it; but if it scratches that itch for you, then, go for it - this is just how I feel about it and view this figure.

I say that they tried. But, in my opinion...I don't think they tried hard enough. As a toy, it's great. Good playability with the Titanmasters and a good centerpiece for the line. Perfect for kids and such. But as Fortress Maximus...no. A new mold would've been so much better. It's not bad, it's actually pretty good...it's just not good enough.

[william-james88]

Are you looking forward to the Titans Return Deluxes? Hopefully you have a Fry's Electronics close to you because that is where they are being found first. SpikeyTigertron has contacted us to give us some photo proof of Hardhead, Blurr, Scourge and Skullsmasher for $17.99 USD at Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale. Happy Hunting everyone!



Update: A fellow TF fan West reached out to us to let us know that he found Titans Return Galvatron at Toysrus in California state. He sent us a picture of the receipt which shows the toy at $ 19.99.




So consider Titans Return out in the US, happy hunting to you all!

[SeventhSage]

Hopefully, it'll hit targets and try's soon

[Sigma Magnus]

And, the nearest one is several states away.

[william-james88]

But if it was close, would you buy these at 17.99$? At least now we know that they arent 18.99$ which is what BBTS is selling them at.

Well, since I want them now, and I only want Hardhead from this wave...yeah, I'd pay that. But I'm not taking a slaggin' plane to get there!

No Skullsmasher?

[Sigma Magnus]

I'm really on the fence about him. Any other thing from this line has been 'want' or 'don't want'. Him though, I just can't decide...

[SpikeyTigertron]

Skullsmasher is there, should have been in the picture.

Having played around with them. I'm really enjoying the line so far. The plastic quality feels a little.... soft(?) similiar to how the plastic on the later combinerwar's figures (G2 sets and Victorion). while it should keep things from snapping... stress marks/scratching (gouging?) could be an issue.

As far as the individual figures. Scourge's transformation was a bit more complex than i was expecting (I imgaine it's due to the rumored heavy retool into.... highbrow(?).)

Blurr's colors are straight up teal in person, which was a bit of a bummer. But since all the Takara pre-orders are sold out... I'll just have to deal.

Skullcruncher is surprisingly large in Beast mode. I was a big disapointed the cockpit cover (flap?) was that really soft bendy plastic.

I think my favorite has to go to Hardhead though... he just oozes badass. Plus the transforming cannon (to allow a titan master to use it) is pretty cool. I also think his "pegs" for the titanmasters is the most practical.

I am super excited to see Blaster and the rest of the gang now.

[SpikeyTigertron]

I also have a feeling Blurr will be seen as a "base" for a large ammount of retools. We know we're already getting Brainstorm from him. I can easily see Arcee as well. There have been some folks saying we may see a Nautica, which I think would be really neat.

[Bumblebee21]

What do you think of you the Headmasters

[william-james88]

[color=#0080FF]

Skullsmasher is there, should have been in the picture.

He is, I was just asking why our fellow friend didnt want him.

Highbrow was confirmed by Hasbro to be a totally new mold.

In any case, thanks for your quick review!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Pity those are far away from me too, but I'm not paying $18 for a deluxe, so it works

[Sigma Magnus]

...would any of you recommend Skullwhatever? If so, why?
