Legends Fortes Maximus is honestly one of the best modern releases i've seen from takara, this side of UW Devastor. Though I wonder if it's possible to fudge a "city mode" rather than a base mode. That goes for the domestic version as well.

It's a heavy retool of Metroplex, right? So couldn't people try fudging around with Metroplex to see if they could get a city mode out of him that might be good groundwork for Fort Max?

Wish that was possible though but in order to do it, the new Fortmax should have a hollow "calf"

It finishes playing, my daughter says "Woooo! More Headmasta!" That was my selling point on getting the Takara version of Fortress Maximus to my wife this morning :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, or a double jointed knee. Metroplex could have used an extra swivel just below the knee for a more G1 transformation, but I don't know if that would have helped a Ft. Max city mode. Given his size, Metroplex does have a rather limited and simple transforming scheme...

The opening theme scene is great, baby girl is learning the names as she watches it!! And not the flashy seizure inducing opening variant :lol:

Mrs. Cramtastic hasn't fully agreed to it yet.. but baby Cramtastic has :lol:

Conversation with baby girl went like this:
Me: How cool is Fortress Maximus? Should I get him?
Baby girl: Yeah! It's cool! I want it! Its coming. Ok.
Me: so, yeah?
Baby girl: yeah! I want it! Thank you!
Me: You got it :-D

My question is, where can i order it to FULLY pay for it, like "lock in the price". Anime-Export had it for $165 USD before shipping, i figured he'd be 2.5kg when I calculated shipping which roughly comes to $205 shipped via EMS. Which is like to pay. Now. And then he shows up in a few months ;)^

You surprise me Cram with this trial to import from japan when buying from TFSource is only 20$ different. But I welcome you trying to branch out. The place that actually makes you pay everything up front (including shipping so no surprises) is Nippon Yassan: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/17 ... ximus.html

He's 143$ at this moment and with shipping he would probably end up less than 200$, so thats the best price out there and you pay all at once.
If you have any news, rumours, or hot new sightings to report which you feel should be front paged,

Conversion is 2% on paypal. All options come out to about 200$ Nippon Yassan lets you just pay it all.

Also, I see what Takara is doing with their rewing, but by having the eyes and mouthplate so big, the red ends up looking like outlines around his eyes rather than the actual colour of his face. They really shouldnt try to apply show colours on toys that arent the actual show models:

That's my problem in general with a lot of Takara's decos. They apply slavish toy-accurate decos to toys that are clearly not meant to be slavishly show-accurate so it just ends up looking... really off to me. Sometimes it can work out well through coincidence, but... ech. Rewind is a perfect example of this.

I'm holding back on any pre-orders on this until I see if the Tak/Tom version has retooled Cerebros into Fortress.

I already sorta know they're gonna, but you can never be sure!


I'm also going to have a serious think about if I even *want* to explain preordering this beastie to Mrs.Memph and paying for the release the same month little MiniMemph arrives. :oops:

Congrats on the upcoming kid. And I dont think Takara will have any retooling, just different deco. If there would have been cool new tooling, they would have been totally showing it off like they did with Devastator.

Well, Takara hasn't shown any pics of Fortress (Cerebros) or Cerebros (Spike/Emissary) yet, so whether or not Fortress has a new face like Hardhead, Skull, and Weirdwolf, we won't know until they finally show us Fortress and Cerebros.

I think Weej has a point. @TFYuki is well documented at waving his designer penis whenever there's retooling to be had and they need to steer people away from buying the Hasbro version.

We knew about Takara blast-off being in the pipeline before the US version had even hit the shelves and here we are now 5-6 months later and it's not even out yet.

AND CONGRATS ON DE BAYBAY!! :DANCE: MiniMemph SHOULD be smaller than Fortress Maximus length wise (or that's a LONG baby!) but will definitely outweigh him!!
Thanks guys! Well, they're reportedly going to be very tall actually! but I seriously doubt they'll dwarf fort max.

That they haven't shown Fortress or Cerebros still feels like they're holding something back, though. If they left Fortress and Cerebros unchanged, why hasn't Takara just shown them yet?

That was what I decided to do. When I realized that BBTS was selling both the new fort max and encore fort max at less than 20$ difference, it was an easy decision.

I'm getting G1 Fort Max.


That was what I decided to do. When I realized that BBTS was selling both the new fort max and encore fort max at less than 20$ difference, it was an easy decision.

Yeah...G1 has more play-ability, a better city mode, and I'm not sure if PE Warden will work with the new Fort Max...by the way, about what size figure works in Fort Max's elevator and stuff? Legion? Legends?

Legion. Beast Hunters Legion Prowl works well. Also, thw G1 probably has a more involved Transformation than the nw TR one. I just love forming that central tower.
