My only regret about it being Fire Convoy is that I can't afford to buy 3 like I did the original. =P~

=P~

Definitely getting this, it looks amazing! Super excited! Now just give us a Brave Maximus already, you're including his sword (almost definitely) as it is so you just have to do a straight Fort Max repaint.

As someone who was not around to get the original, I think is is a purchase for me. I think the similarities to the original are a positive in this case, as the design is fantastic to begin with. And if I were going to get a version of these characters, I might as well go for the one with the improvements and streamlining, as subtle as they may seem. Plus, I reckon the Haslab isn't too much more expensive than trying to acquire the original MINT anyway. This is a great opportunity to acquire an excellent realisation of an awesome design with the rare guarantee that it's fully complete and functional. We're three for three for Transformers Haslabs, I hope we continue the streak!

I got R.I.D of my original after all.

The whole set looks really impressive, especially the fact that Blue Bolts was turned into a full-blown Weaponizer like Cog, Sixgun, Slammer, and Fasttrack were. That's awesome. And the Matrix Blade being an all-new mold when they could have easily retooled TR Fortress Maximus's Master Sword with a new handle, but didn't, is even better.

I'm still content with the original. The TR Fort Max figure is, from the neck down, really baaaaaaad.

I have the Legends Grand Max version and got the DNA Design upgrade kits for it, and even with those kits giving him much better hands, a good gun, better hip ratchets, and superfluous helipad boots, the base figure itself is still one of the most worst Titan class toys I've ever had.

He can't even hold his sword, even with the upgraded hands, because the sword's handle is too thin to fit securely into the gripping slots of his hands (both the official and upgraded ones). It takes wrapping the fully articulated fingers of the upgraded hands around the sword to keep it from just falling out of his grip, and even then the sword is just barely holding on.

The only good thing about the TR Fort Max is the new head figure, which is a pretty good large Deluxe/small Voyager toy. But it isn't enough to salvage the rest of the set.

Even though I have the original, I love seeing RID01 getting love like JG1 and Unicorn.

Not really enough of an improvement over the original to get my money, but I would certainly consider it if I didn't have one.

Comment by Grahf_ Jan 30, 2024

I have the original set and will still get this. I love this choice for Haslab and never would've backed a Primus.

I just want the ability to get more Bluebolts. Like have an option as an add-on item. I want at least three due to it being a Weaponizer and I get them all in threes.

I'm actually concerned this may be the first HasLab TF to NOT get funded. The general response is very lukewarm at best.

Comment by blackeyedprime Jan 30, 2024

Well it ticks some boxes...

3x more expensive then the originals...
removal of features...
removal of quality (though the rubber wheels of the original might be debatable with them mostly not surviving time)

Not sure i'm keen on the front of Optimuses truck mode but looks pretty good otherwise, the addition of another figure is neat though it kinda feels like Optimus needs a 'roller' now if magnus gets ikkle guy.

Could these have been done at retail? With the £90 Commnder classes, yeagh thye probably could have.Plus then we might have got the yellow Optimus repaint.

Not really convinced on this over the originals but it's nice enough for those that want it and it's not superfluous like starsaber was so bonus points for that. Though if the reissues were with out any issues then maybe.

Another haslab skip for me which is always a good thing.

I didnt see until now that it's just haslab

It's already about a third of the way funded on only the first day, I'm not worried.

That's what the original announcement of this stream said it would be.

I know right? The vocal minority is going hard trying to convince others that nobody wants this but the numbers that matter are saying otherwise currently.

It's human nature to be more vocal about something negative than they are to be vocal about something positive.

Obviously it's fine if you don't like or want it. But to say that it's the worst thing ever just because it's not what you wanted or were expecting it to be and that EVERYONE agrees like most are trying to have other believe is going on are just inane. It's mainly just the Facebook post I'm seeing this on so far though. I'm at work and haven't exactly checked around many forums yet.

Not really getting some of the carping about this figure.
It's cheaper than the overpriced encore from 6 years ago that had to be recalled.

The originals, while amazing, still have a lot of issues that seem to be fixed in this version. I get why Evan was very emphatic about not having rubber tires because I've owned a couple of these.

Let's face it, these were never coming out at retail, even at the commander price point with some slimmed down packaging and the loss of blue bolt. Optimus, yes, absolutely could have been done at commander, probably the loss of moveable missiles and some other things in favor of blast effects. Ultra Magnus, no way in hell was any retailer signing off on a commander who mostly is designed to be armor for another commander that wouldn't be on store shelves at the same time. This would have been released over at least two years and retailers wouldn't have bitten.

There's honestly not many TF haslabs that would have gotten a large chunk of the fandom with disposable income to cheer at the moment. Somethings Hasbro would rather be able to reuse the molds, some are too expensive, some are too niche.

PLease see my post above that I did back this. I am considering rescinding it though because I already have the original and it honestly doesn't look that much better.

Comment by Rodimus Prime Jan 30, 2024

I'm happy to see this and will most likely pick it up. I will have to wait until close to the deadline, if Hasbro is charging full price right off the bat.

I didn't watch the video so I'm wondering, is Ultra Magnus more posable this time around? And will the price increase if the other tiers are unlocked? I don't care about the sword but a space bridge display would be neat.
