I like it :)
Toy Dojo has put Fortress Maximus up for pre-order -- expected release Q4 2016 and priced at US$149.99.
EDIT: Toy Dojo has said the listing was put up in error and has had it removed.

How long left till they get released I want them now!
I'm having second thoughts about Blaster. Just not sure if I can get over the whole, "But he's not a Headmaster" Gee-Wun hang up (I realise that this is completely just my own personal thing). I can accept PM Optimus Prime as a Headmaster since:
1/ Powermaster/Headmaster -- it's still binary bonding.
2/ The original G1 PM Optimus Prime was originally going to have a transformable head (transform into Roller), but the gimmick was abandoned. So it's a neat (if incidental) homage to what was intended for the G1 toy.
The lighter and dull looking grey on PM OP looks disappointing. Hopefully it'll look better than that IRL. Although it is G1 accurate, as the original PM OP had a similar shade of grey too (only Takara's Ginrai had that darker metallic grey; and Hasbro's 'reissue' was essentially just a repackaged Ginrai toy (with that ridiculous missile)).
The helmet that goes over the headmasters for Blaster looks like an actual whole head covering helmet, compared to the mask that sat in front of Galvatron's headmaster head. Prime's helmet may be similar.
If it doesn't have to compress before folding down (into a back cavity or something), you may be able to to just leave the headmaster in the helmet, and just say that's how his head folds out.
