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

I'm not sure if you've ever ordered from AE before, but they are great. Shipping is fairly inexpensive, pre-order prices are great and I've never been hit by customs from them.

Canadian to Canadian, they are you're best bet for Takara product.

You and I are on the same page ;)^

I was recomending Anime Export to the europeans just a few posts back. They are by far my dealer of choice since they ensure that I dont get problems with customs. They are very accomodating and their prices are the best around. Thats who I am getting Computron, Blurr and MP Primal from, cant wait

I don't get it; did they just slap TT's extra effort in the sword onto their retail release, and decide to call it an excluisve?

I'm seeing no obvious deco difference's that make this stand out as being exclusive - he looks as underwhelmingly painted as the standard version, they may as well have just made the sword an exclusive and given it a $50 paint job >:oP

Lol, I wonder if TT will unveil their master sword during sdcc and show off how much better theirs is, like how they did with devs a year ago :-P

Hasbro needs to stop making these exclusives for the overcrowded SDCC and offer them to the collectors who attend HasbroCon (nee BotCon) instead.

But that's where they're most likely to break even on their exclusives... besides, we can't say what they should or shouldn't do about exclusives for a convention that hasn't even gotten off the ground yet >:oP

Posted by Kurona on June 17th, 2016 @ 1:00pm CDT

Quick comparison pic till Logan does a better one.

Not a whole load different. Some extra details here and there, upper chest is white with red detailing instead of gray, lower chest has the sides painted gray instead of blue to break up monotony, inner feet are red, leg cannons seem to have added gray detail, in general quite a bit of added detail across the figure (on the forehead, thing on his left leg, thighs and shoulders).

I saw that too, I am really wondering if this is a bad angle, but then again we are lookinga t it dead on so what the heck?!

The SDCC toys are for the masses though. You can even buy them on HTS after for al colelctors to get. And Botcon has its own exclusives so I dont see the issue here.

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.

Hasbro wrote: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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

Vangelus' Devastator review was March 29 this year.
As long as you've got something interesting to say it's never too late to do a review. Everyone has different views and opinions to offer on something.

That being said I prefer the cerebros head as opposed to the emissary head. And I want the cerebros head.
