    I actually don't want a new Fort Max to be jumbo sized. Big sized toys are relatively simpler, and really act more as a transformable play set than an action figure, which is essentially what toys like G1 Fort Max and Generations Metroplex are. I'd rather see a smaller figure that focuses more on being a better action figure, like say a Voyager or Leader Class figure.

    Also, while Fort Max was portrayed as a massive titan in the US cartoon and JP anime series, the Marvel and IDW comics actually portray him as a relatively regular sized TF. About the size of Powermaster Optimus Prime, Galvatron or Ultra Magnus (bearing in mind that G1 was never great at size/scale consistency ).
    Fort Max vs Galvatron
    Fort Max vs Megatron
    Fort Max vs Optimus Prime
    Fort Max w/ Jetfire <---note that it's Voyager Classics Jetfire too
    Fort Max and Rung
    Fort Max vs Overlord
    I'd also like to see a Classicsverse Fort Max toy being based on/influenced by the IDW character.

    The 3p version of Fort Max did a pretty good job capturing the bot mode, could even become the head of the original too, but the alt-mode was just rubbish, and the whole thing too expensive. Could conceivably get a retool out of the leader Megatron mould though...

    I still quite like the idea of Fort Max being a fortress. I realise I am probably dreaming off in laa laa land, but I'd love to see a massive body (for spaceship/fort mode) and a much nicer (say deluxe, or whatever the sizes are now)Cerebros, one, which, perhaps, might just so happen to look like the recent Fort Max sized robots.

    I like that Idea.
    Maybe a Deluxe Class Cerebros with a Spike Headmaster gimmick which connects to a larger Titan Class Fort Max body, which on its own just forms city/space ship mode or body, and Cerebros then transforms into a head. Not too much bigger then Metroplex

    I wrote this in another thread but I'll put my 2 cents here as well:

    Pipes & Outback
    WANTED BOTS: G1: Horri-bull, Snarler, Mainframe, Chop Shop, Ransack CHUG: Spin Out, Cordon, Brotropolis Rescue MASTERPIECE: Acid Storm
    ENERGON: Six Shot

    Damn straight! Pipes was one of my first ever TF's (and the first I got a double given to me of) and Outback was the first TF I ever heard with an Aussie accent

    Only thing possibly standing in the toys way are that they are both dead in IDW. But then so was Doubledealer and a bunch of others that have since gotten figures

    Don't forget half the Technobots, Slingshot, Reflector (at least one of the trio is confirmed, the others implied? I can't remember), Rhinox (probably, unless he shows up again on another planet), Scrapper, Thunderwing & Straxus are also all dead, but we got toys of them in the Generations line.

    And I'm pretty sure Outback is the ONLY TF with the "stereotypical" Aussie accent

    What about Cybertron Jetfire, who in a weird twist of irony, was the only Jetfire in the Unicron Trilogy not to be played by Scott McNeil, who is an Australian.
    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

    Scott McNeil is a Canadian. Yes, he was born in Australia, but he moved to Canada when was still an infant and grew up there his whole life. He's really Canadian, and I suspect that he carries a Canadian passport, and AFAIK he identifies himself as being Canadian. There are plenty of Australians who were born overseas but identify themselves as being Australian (as does the public), but just sticking with those who worked on Transformers, Hugo Weaving is identified as an Australian but he was born in Nigeria.
