You read that title right folks, Fortress Maximus has made his way to Ross, and he is only $54.99! This sighting was reported by our own Megatronus, though the actual source of the pictures is still anonymous. With all the combiner wars box sets making their way to Ross, guess it was only a short time before the big titan on the block made his way over there. Check out the images below, and head on out to your local Ross to hunt down a Fortress of Maximus!

That's a pretty incredible find, now I'm wishing I had stopped at TJ Maxx when I had the chance today since that's the closest thing to Ross we have around here.
Shame Ross has no sense of humor, under size it should say Titan.

I'm just thinking of someone who set aside $150 just for Fort Max, they see this deal and suddenly they now have three Fort Maxes for the ultimate base experience.

I already own this retail version from when I picked him up on BBTS when it was first released. I also picked up his SDCC exclusive this year, but at $54.99 he's worth picking up again. I predict an epic Fort Max diorama in the near future

Via the Transformers Collector Club, in their final days of licence, we have some Titans Return news in the form of the artwork for the upcoming deluxe class Kup figure in the line! Showing off the same gimmick, double guns, and a fairly accurate deco so far, you can check out the image below, and sound off in the Energon Pub.

Kup's looking pretty fine there so far! Honestly my biggest hope is that his truck mode will have a solid(-ish) bed - I don't know why that annoyed me so much on Prime Kup and I don't imagine it'd be too hard to "fix" this time around, but I suppose we can only hope!
Although, he does look like he's got a bit of angry-baby-face going on there; I can only hope that's an artwork thing that won't carry over to the final toy. It's hard to be a grizzled veteran when you look like a two-year-old who doesn't wanna eat his mashed peas.

i just got TR hot rod and am enjoying him much more than I thought I would... kup would be a cool addition to the line up, but I wonder about a TR rodimus..
I'm being swayed by the new moulds of figures released in the generations line... there's more of an anime vibe and some of the recent tranformation engineering has made them more fun and less fiddly than the generations figure, Kup being a good example of a solid toy but slightly fiddly...

Agreed this seems like another new mold. Hell probably get remolded into someone else but so far TR has done some great work with remolding. Only one that sticks out Is getaway and I picked him up last week and said "it's getaway, it's fine" obviously we'll be getting octane and blitzwing hut we're expecting that and there's not many problems with that.

Kup looks pretty cool in that art, but I can't wait to see the toy!
I found my dog (a beagle) in it one day. A box was buried at the bottom of a large Christmas bag filled with clothes and such. She dug her way to the bottom, got the box out, and ate all but 1 piece.
Dang girl didn't have any ill effects either, despite how chocolate is supposed to be really bad for dogs.
Good to know in that regard. Maybe some people can get some really awesome scores!

If his alt mode looks closer to the movie than the Generations version, I'm sold. It will be nice to complete the Hot Rod, Kup, & Blurr trio.

Ooh cool. So unless this is Wave 5, we now know three of the Wave 4 deluxes.
This has been confusing me for a bit because the original rumour said Kup, Topspin and two previous-wave Redecoes (w/ new heads), with a deluxe Perceptor also being a general rumour. But now where do those two redecoes go? Split between waves or both part of Wave 5? And if the latter's the case, who's the last of Wave 4?

$150 would get more than two deluxes I'm thinking...
TRU will give you store credit without a receipt for the "lowest sale price in the last 90 days" to my knowledge Fort Max was never on sale at TRU.

I'm going with new mold until proven otherwise.
But, if it were a retool of Blurr, his alt mode would have to face backwards. Otherwise I can't see how they'd get a truck bed out of that design.

I can... kind of see him possibly being a retool? But it's not something that's obvious to me looking at this and you'd have to tell me it is because this looks like a new mold to me. Rumours said it was a new mold too. If it's a retool... probably Scourge/Highbrow level. But nothing here indicates to me he's anything but an awesome new mold.
I guess my only question is how we're going to get the rest of the Targetmasters? We can probably discount Cyclonus since he just got a toy (and he just wouldn't work as a Headmaster), but that leaves us with 5 Targetmasters currently undone - Misfire, Slugslinger, Sureshot, Crosshairs and Pointblank. Are they just gonna make up most of Wave 5 and 6? I'd be really sad to not see them done.

I so agree to that. Even tho it's not totally out of the question, the chances of being a retool are significantly less than in CW.
Just to be fair, I've done some comparing between Blurr and Sergeant Kup (to be even more fair, Blurr has already been paired with Chromedome, and already retooled into Brainstorm. So he's not a candidate in my book) and they don't really match up.
Using the guns as an indicator is a no-no, as several non-related figures share that particular style, like Highbrow, Triggerhappy, and Twinferno. The only accessory that indicates part-sharing is the Titan Master: if he matches another release, it's a retool or part-sharer.

I have no crystal ball, but it would seem to make sense that we would get the rest of the Targetmasters as deluxes throughout waves 4-6. I was thinking possibly also Snapdragon, but since Apeface was a Titanmaster, Snapdragon will probably also. Would Hasbro use the Dino TM a 4th time?? I was thinking perhaps even a couple of the 1988 TM's, but I don't know how many empty slots there are. We are getting a few 1988 toy homages in Titans Return, but its really a mixed bag.

I guess my only question is how we're going to get the rest of the Targetmasters? We can probably discount Cyclonus since he just got a toy (and he just wouldn't work as a Headmaster), but that leaves us with 5 Targetmasters currently undone - Misfire, Slugslinger, Sureshot, Crosshairs and Pointblank. Are they just gonna make up most of Wave 5 and 6? I'd be really sad to not see them done.

I think we could totally see Snapdragon and Apeface as late-wave Voyagers. Sure, Apeface was a Titan Master, but... so was Brawn and rumours say Optimus is gonna get a Titan Master. As well as Nightbeat getting a deluxe. I don't know why they're doing it this way, but... hey, just nice to know it doesn't cross out the possibility.
And, uh, rumours say that Voyager Apeface/Snapdragon will be a thing too. So yeah.
What I think would be really cool is if they both got Voyager and Titan Master releases. The individual Titan Master would be the face and the Voyager's Headmaster would be the beast head - since in the original toys the Headmaster turned into both robot head and beast head.
But yeah I mean, even if rumours weren't saying they're gonna happen, it'd seem a bit odd to me that in the headmaster-centric line where every Voyager is a triple-changer, the two original Voyager headmaster Triple-changers don't get to have a toy.

I cant see it either.But the reaso I think we all think Blurr off the bat is because kup and blurr have the same chest design in fiction (where in both cases, their chest is the cybertronian cockpit).

But, if it were a retool of Blurr, his alt mode would have to face backwards. Otherwise I can't see how they'd get a truck bed out of that design.

Apeface - "me tired of being pushed around all the time"
but hey, as Voyagers, that would be kind of cool. But an Optimus TM? I was just joking with my son that I guess they were going to do an Optimus in every size class...I guess we're not far off. We just need a Deluxe and a Titan LOL!

Through the past three lines we've got an Optimus at every non-Titan size class. Thrilling 30 gave us Orion Pax and Legends Optimus, CW gave us Voyager Optimus, TR has given us Leader Powermaster Optimus and apparently a Titan Master... it'll be like lining up a matryoshka doll

I'd say that's probably gonna be an exclusive. He isn't in any of the rumor lists, and neither was Brainstorm.
