View Full Version : Perfect Effect DX-03 Warden aka not-Fort Max

With a bot mode that homages IDW's iteration of Fort Max save for his back treads, IDW's Warden is a Headmaster that transform into a head for G1/Encore Fort Max!
See the original post through TFormers: http://tformers.com/transformers-perfect-effect-dx-03-warden/21321/news.html
Since this is PE, my question is - price?

Looks good. As you've mentioned I'll have to look at price before starting an IDW shelf.

It is an awesome aesthetic look that has a lot of appeal to me...However the fact that he is primarily designed to transform into a G1 Fort Max head kind of ruins it a bit for a a couple of reasons:
- Smaller size due to having to scale with the G1 Fort Max toy head ('tallish' deluxe) - Not a good fit in a 'Classics' display unless it is with Legends and Scout sized toys
- No alt mode aside from the head which is a downer for those who would like a 'stand alone' Classics Fort Max. If there happens to be a '3rd' mode, I suspect it would be heavily compromised by the head mode.
- People who don't have a G1 Fort Max would be left out.
I really do like what I am seeing but the limitations above make me question if it's worth it.

I'm with you kup. While cool; scale wise he is too small. Price will be what will make me decide to get it or not.

I really like the design of this, It is a shame that it won't have an alt mode representing something to tie it into the IDW universe but at the same time the transformation looks inspired. The last photo also mentions 7 in 1 so there may be more to this than meets the eye... :p

Looks totally intense. I'm sure I've seen pictures of him with a set of treads hanging off his back though... I think they were removable.

The fact he transforms into a head for G1 Fort Max is disheartening. Doesn't sound nearly large enough as stand alone.

Looking at the pictures of him in head mode on a Fort Max, he doesn't seem big at all.

You're right, here it is (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/perfect-effect-cerebros-fort-max-t95220s20.php). I was trying to look for that post as well but couldn't find it, thinking that it was a distinctly different third party company that was offering it.
IDW-esque tank treads are there, but I didn't like the original head/shoulder proportions. The original head seemed bigger (now we know he was meant to be a Headmaster all along) and the way that it sunk into his chest/shoulders seems to reduce the level of bravado they were trying to achieve.
I agree with kup, that the head-mode excludes non-G1 Fort Max owners, but that didn't necessarily stop me from enjoying BW/BM/RID Megabolt Megatron ;)

The bot mode is freaking awesome (even though he doesn't have guns in his feet), great aesthetic as usual from PE.
Also liking their new heads for Hasbro ROTF Bludgeon and Botcon Overlord, though I wish they would make a whole new toy for each, because their face sculpts are great.

Apparently Warden is going to be "DVD case height" which after measuring one with my toys equals to exactly the same height as Hardbone and forehead level of City Commander.
I also measured the DVD case against Voyager Blitzwing and it's of identical height so we can expect Warden to be Voyager size.
To me this is a good scale for a Classics Fort Max. I would have preferred a little taller but this is good enough. It has certainly gone on the list of toys I am looking forward to get.

Interesting info indeed Kup, I'm keeping my eye on this bloke as well ;); his ability to combine with a G1 FortMax is rather "meh" :rolleyes:, but he'd go great with C.O.D.E. and the rest of FansProject's "Function-X" members. :)
(Baring in mind there's many "Modes" we've not seen yet :cool:)

I have a feeling that the 7 in 1 mentioned in the blurred picture needs to be able to be combined with other figures (perhaps existing / upcoming PE ones) in some way?

DVD cover height is consistent with pics taken at botcon which looks like the same prototype! Exciting!
Also, per the earlier preview shots looks like different modules snap on to him.

The back pack helps to add further width for a closer IDW look.
Hursticon
22nd September 2013, 01:23 PM
It's interesting to note the main mold differences seem to be his head (Obviously the earlier prototype was prior to the Headmaster figure being ready) and his pectoral sculpting. :)
I also really love the break away from tradition they've taken with his transformation; I'm really impressed that they've avoided the "Fold the legs over the body & flip up a plate" approach, which makes sense for Cerebros/FortMax, being that he's larger than the rest (Depending on your choice of continuity). :cool:

Looks great. Combining with G1 Fort Max is irrelevant to me as I'll never own one, but the thought of another 'giant head' is kinda fun. Maybe I'll get that Original Refine Unicron bust and start a giant floating head display with Grand Mal. :p
Awesome IDW looking bit mode, which hooks me since IDW is the continuity I prefer for figure styles. Scout tank mode isn't bad either, I just hope parts-forming is kept minimal.

It's a nice idea, especially the triple-changer deal, but I don't have or want a G1 Fort Max, and as Kup notes that gimmick kinda compromises the tank-y-thing mode.
Also, he hasn't got guns in his legs.:p

13th October 2013, 07:03 PM
One of the nicer third-party attempts, but the useless (to me--never had a G1 Fort Max, and have no interest in ever getting one) gimmick hurts the alt-mode.
And I echo the lack of leg guns!

I agree, but I would guess the die-cast in the legs is probably there specifically to counter the treads.
I initially thought the canon looked silly next to him but with it in his hands he looks bad ass. :)

I really like this concept, although i dont own fort max g1, its nice to know i could use it if i did. Also, whilst the tanky thing does look a bit off, ill put it down to him being more in tune with his "cybertronian" vehicle mode.

I personally find no appeal for the 'replacement' G1 head. If the robot mode didn't turn out as good (and that is with a questionable tank mode), I would have skipped this due to so much engineering going to the G1 head mode (and nearly did).
I guess it can work for the bound to be more numerous G1 Fort Max bodies without heads.

I'm in the same boat. I don't own and have no intention of owning a G1 Fort Max so the headmaster gimmick does nothing for me. The robot mode looks great but I think for the moment I'd rather wait for someone to do another MTMTE inspired figure with a less dubious alt mode. :)

Before the Encore release, the head mode and large gun would have been a much more lucrative prospect, since there were so many headless Fortress Maximuses and it was a pricey bitch to hunt down Cerebros, Spike and weapons. I still think this is an incredibly clever toy.

The head mode is the most impressive. The fact that Warden can fold down and compress into that small a box is a feat of engineering. And while it looks in the photos really weird and out of proportion, I can assure that in person, after comparing the 2, it is the Cerebros head that looks weird and out of proportion. And the really cool thing, The little headmaster sits inside the head in robot mode as a pilot. That is cool!!:eek:
Tank mode is nice. There is no denying that it is a compromise but it still looks like a Cybertronian artillery tank. There are some tricks to lining everything up but all the complaints I read about pegs being too big/not lining up are wrong. Its all there and fits, you just have to work out how.
The instructions are ok. Better than most 3rd Party companies but some bits still require a fair bit of thought. Transformarion isn't intuitive (at least for me) but is still not difficult. After one go I reckon I could get it again without the instructions.
Overall, I can say that this figure is great. It is leaps and bounds above any other CHUG figure. PE could upscale it to MP scale without changing a thing and it would still be impressive.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Nite nite :)

Absolutely stunning photos & superb review there Trent; I'm holding out hope that FansProject will be doing their own take on FortMax but if that doesn't end up eventuating I think I'd be extremely happy to go with Warden here. ;):cool:

I'm in the same boat haha. For time being, I have limited my spending and hope to keep it that way for a time enough to pay some of my debt off.

The robot mode looks absolutely stellar but the lackluster tankmode is holding me back. Still the final product appears to be extremely high quality.

Dude, isn't he just making us drool!!!
I don't have and never expected to want the G1 Fort Max, but now... I think I have to try and get this from RK before the $$$ change. Have it on the wish list now!
Awesome photos guys

It could just be the lighting but there's a strange greeniness to the grey on that which puts me off. However, the placement of the Autobot symbol is great.

Perhaps that greener shade is intentional to bring out the grimmer-look in the panels Fort Max has been in?

That's quite an expensive figure to paint over. :eek: Although I see he made his money back on the Ebay auction.

Hey guys...I have just decided to order this puppy from Robotkingdom yesterday as I had no luck finding him anywhere at a reasonable price other than R.K, the prices on evilbay are pure nasty now.
I know hes fairly tall but just wondering if someone can take a photo of Warden next to another transformer ie springer just for scale....I cant seem to find a photo anywhere of him next to a transformer I know the height of...thanks in advanced.

Cool thanks for that, I did see the first photo but it looked a little to photoshopped to me with all the background missing, but the second pic is way better....so cant wait to get him in hand now:D:D:D:D

Any bites (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=PFT10037&mode=retail)?
Would be cool to have guns on Warden's knees, but for $36?! First world problems!
