Many were intrigued when third party CrazyDevy announced their Master Commander Power Parts, however in an interesting turn of events, their product looks very, very similar to the TAW God Swords. Priced much higher than the original TAW God Swords, valued site sponsor BigBadToyStore has put the Sword up for pre-order. Check out the advertisement below!

not without some kind of awesome bonus.

Even then, it still needs the long pole for Omega Prime to wield before I buy it

Whoa, is that seriously $70?

I'm actually liking the jetpack vversion from early this year or last year much better, even though it didn't stay together well from what I've heard.

Crazy Devy...::knock knock:: are you listening?

Take your sword and your price and kindly shove them as far and as deep as possible.

I stil think it's funnny they named Fort Max's sword the Master Sword. :lol:

I also like the preview pic that has the sword stabbing Ravage. Unfortunately, I don't even own Fort Max, or any G1-compatible figures, so it's gonna have to be a pass for me, sadly. Well, I can't really order online now, can I? :sad:

Wow, that is pathetic. Crazydevy, you should be ashamed of yourselves!

by **Badassimus Prime** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:16 pm

Never really cared for the original designs (which greatly influences this one). They just look "meh" to me and I couldn't understand why people loved and bought those to begin with. Seeing the price tag on these, I just can't help but shake my head. Fansprojects got it right with Shadow Commander's pink sword. I know this is meant for some other character but I just thought I'd throw that out there. It's a shame that I missed the Shadow Commander set when it was out, as I can't find any decent swords for my Classics/Universe Nemesis.

Help me find another Shadow Commander(real not KO) for less than $150 & I'll send you the sword overnight for free! Like the other version of the sword better than this one.

by **Badassimus Prime** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 3:50 pm

Really?! That'd be awesome of you

Unfortunately, I've only spotted KOs as of late. I've been trying to get my hands on a set for a while myself as well. I may have to settle for KOs in the end if nothing else.

Sorry to stray off topic guys. :-(

Agree 100%.

And while they're at it, they can try to fit their overpriced Devastator upgrades in aswell...

Rather than echo the sentiment of "Yeah, this isn't great at all." that has been expressed already by a few in this thread, I have to ask:

What do they mean by "hilt to blade tip"?

A hilt is generally composed of the guard/grip/pommel of a sword. So is it 520mm from the guard to the blade tip or the pommel to the blade tip? Not that it matters since this isn't worth the price it's listed for as far as I'm concerned.

I don't have a Fort Max (or any of the repaints/derivatives) so I don't have a dog in this hunt. Still, I have to wonder if there isn't more to this set; there's no way they can justify $70 for a sword.

the average person refers to the handguard as being the hilt, and considering that the length of the handle is nominal, I would guess they are refering to the blade only.

Who knows, maybe this one is lined with silver, or it is all die cast with ionized paint.

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 9:10 pm

How much is this compared tot he other Fort Max swords?

News Credits: 198 · by **DevastaTTor** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 9:21 pm

I've actually grown to really like the TAW God Sword-I go back and forth between "modes". But I still paid too much for it.

As for this...

Hello CrazyDevy, it's the Fonze is calling.

He wants you to stick to combiner parts before it's too late.

I can only say wow to CrazyDevy! You guys are a price joker! :ic$:

Crazy Devy has CrAzY PrIcEs. It think he needs to take that sword and perform his own brain surgery and re-think his prices...

by **barricade2218** » Fri Sep 17, 2010 5:52 am

Much as I'd like to have it, at $70 I think it's a pass. After seeing the price for the Predaking wing extensions, I think these folks are becoming real gougers.

It's been a while since I watched, but I dont remember Fortress Maximus or any G1 character other than the Dinobots having a sword. What is up with all these damn swords anyways ??? Am I the only one who thinks they are stupid ??? I have never seen so many figures with swords and pop out blades as I have this year. I prefer my robots with big guns...
