Kabaya Gum Transformers DX Fortress Maximus Metalic Version Revealed

That's pretty awesome they're making him. I like a smaller scale fort max. Only thing I've had close is a KO I found at a store once. Surprisingly for a KO it still holds up and it's a broken mess.

Are these coming in three packs sold in cases of 5? I still have two extras from the original.

looks like its a case of 6.

As tall as a G1 original Headmaster



What you will love though are the smaller TFs it comes with. There is an actual Powerglide that is in scale within the legion class. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q= ... 5911105594

Kabaya kits are awesome fun. Sure they can be time consuming to put together, and sure, you have to partially disassemble them to transform them, and sure, putting the stickers on, especially the face ones, can be fucking annoying ... fuck it. I don't know why I like them after all that but I do.

Actually, Fort Max here doesn't look like he needs to be taken apart really to transform him. Personally, I think he looks better than Titans Return FM, even though the TR one is probably the one I'd get.

They don't have to be taken apart completely, only certain bits taken off and placed elsewhere.

For example, G1 Optimus Prime - In robot mode you remove his lower forearms, fold the upper arms/shoulders back around (same as the original G1 figure) then reattach the lower forearms, though they're on a different peg at the elbow. Everything else transforms the same, just the lower forearms.

These figures arent articulated much so oftentimes you have to take them apart to place the parts back in the proper place even if its just a different angle.

Yeah I just wish that these alt modes were integrated well into the new Titans Return one. Oh well...

If this one proves to be a good set, I just maybe will pick it up. It depends though. I am kinda in a g1 mood right now anyhow.

I have the original and it is fantastic, but I wish they had done grand maximus.

Seibertron's Japanese correspondant Matt has just found Kabaya's Metallic Fortress Maximus for ¥560 at a local candy store.

Comes with a mini Charger and a mini Power Glide

He sent some images to give us an idea of what the metallic finish looks like. Enjoy and let us know if it looks different enough from the original to want to double dip.

Because he is based on a better toy

I mean I remember my kabaya fort max has only stickers for details, but it does look like powerglide has blue eyes and Max has a painted face!

I wanna see more!

Don't get too excited. By nature model kits come completely bare, no paint, no stickers. Any paint is added on by the buyer and is no part of the set itself.
