To be 100% honest, even if it was true, I think I'd still prefer a remold or a re-imagining. Max is a staple in the toy collectors' ticklist, sure, but his transformation and altmodes just aren't complex and different enough for me.

Not to mention - can you imagine what could be done with Cog, Cerebros, and Spike using current toy tech? Not just balljoint articulation, but better modes and transformations all up.

Redo Max with current tech. Have his fists fold up and conceal. Likewise his feet. Do something about his visible thighs in battle station mode. Make the battlestation itself be less obviously just Max sunbathing. Make Cog interact with the main toy more - there's really nothing that links him to Max at the moment. Give Cerebros an autonomous altmode - something flight-capable would be good for transporting Spike.

If the battlestation is going to be a flight-capable ship, make that obvious. Turn the robot arms into a thruster bank. Split the conning tower to the sides and pull wings out of it, to further distinguish it from city mode. Merge the legs into a more comprehensive single bow. Give Gasket and Grommet weapons emplacement modes and somewhere to plug in. There are so many things which could be improved with just minor tweaks!
