First glimpse of Titan Wars Fort Max?

[ILikeSoundwave]

Looks like a retool of Metroplex.

That February release date seems really close... I thought Titan Wars wasn't going to kick off until later in 2016...

They're getting it out of the way early to give more time to the Beast Wars anniversary

I'm gonna be waiting for more details.
And with people saying its a retool of Metroplex, again I'm gonna be waiting to see the actual product.
It could be fake, it could be real. I mean that leaked picture of Blaster was proven to be real, so who says this isn't?
And it most likely will have a city mode, because well if Metroplex has one, why shouldn't Fortress Maximus have one?


And while I'm at it
"This needs a Robots In Disguise Redeco"
"Where are the Decepticon City Bots we need those"
"I bet its gonna cost $500"

"We need an exclusive with a Pretender Shell for Grand Maximus!"

If legit, he's very beefy in robot mode, something that might have been worrying, considering he came from Metroplex. I don't mind the city mode. The flats bits are nice.

I'm wondering if it's some sort of exclusive. It does say exclusive on there twice.

[Raider]

I'm guessing they will issue a standard version and an exclusive version. Might even follow along the lines of what they did with metroplex and have a tonne of variants released.

I get the feeling they sometimes think "oh hey let's paint the arms a lighter shade, slap the exclusive tag on it, and charge and extra 50. Collectors will still buy it!"

I don't see how this Fort Max is at all a redeco/retool of Metroplex. As far as I can tell, it appears to be an entirely new mould.


Yes, it is very bulky and blocky, as it should be! Fortress Maximus has always been one chunky son-of-a-gun.

And I suspect that he still has a battleship mode, it's just not shown here. Let's face it, the difference between Fort Max's city and battleship modes isn't all that great. Much like the difference between Metroplex's city and mobile fortress modes which are just variants of the base alt mode. These city-formers aren't exactly proper Triple Changers by any stretch of the imagination (there are Legends Class figures with more complex transformations).

The lower arms look almost identical to Metroplex.
