Not too big a toy - even by 1986 standards. I remember the first time I saw that toy and thought, "Oh..."It's a nice toy, don't get me wrong... but it's actually about the same height as Ultra Magnus (I think UM might be a wee bit taller). Obviously it's meant to be a city for the smaller carded Autobots, and in that regard it works well. Fortress Maximus came the year after and was the city for the larger boxed Autobots (re: Headmasters and Targetmasters).

Heck, Maximus looked great with the minibots too. You could put guys like Hound in him too, as well.

I remember one year my grand parents got my brother and i a sack of toys each. Nothing big, smaller things lik an action figure, a matchbox car, a transformers etc.
When you're a kid its quantity over quality.
I got Dragstrip that year. I've still got it and i will never sell it.

Absolutely. Stuff like the central lift with launching ramp was clearly designed for the smaller carded Autobots that were relased in '87 too, and in Car Robot Brave Maximus works with both the larger Autobots (e.g. Car Robo Bros.) and the Spychangers (who are actually designed to be launched; the G2 GoBots were intended to be compatible with Hot Wheels launchers/playsets). Btw Hound was a boxed Transformer (although he is quite small
Fortress Maximus, like Hasbro Overlord, was extremely rare in Australia (if indeed he was ever released here at all).D'oh. i read Metroplex, but was thinking Fort Max. Odd, because I was thinking, "Fort Max hadn't been released then had he?"
