Looks good but I think that the photo was resized without constraining the proportions. If he is that chunky I may have to buy my 1st titan class tf

Aaaaah, now I see it. :D It's still a pretty significant retool of Metroplex, and I suppose retooling the Metroplex mould helps Hasbro to save money, and also make more money back on what they spent to develop Metroplex in the first place (since he's yet to have a mass-retail redeco).
If you want to see what the dimensions may be, stretched to look like the line art, I saw this on twitter:

Definitely looks like a retool of Metroplex, and it seems his legs are bent a little too in that pic, looks like his upper legs are at a slightly forward angle
The unstretched version looks much better. Better then Metroplex, IMO
I don't think it's a retool in the sense of how it used to be used (same figure, couple of different parts eg: Generations Arcee & Legends Nightbird), but rather is more like the example of Prime Arcee and Generations Chromia - an almost new figure, with shared engineering and some shared pieces.
This can be seen in the way that Metro and Maximus shared the same forearms/fists, but for the rest of the body (shoulders, chest, waist, legs, etc) it looks like new pieces were made, BUT some of the engineering principles were maintained. This is most apparent in the legs, which look new, but appear to transform similarly to Metroplex's.
The question remains... Is Fortress Maximus going to take back the title of largest Transformer from Metroplex? :p
