Appears so. Hasn't there been a rumor flying around about a new Fort Max release?

Indeed there is. It was mentioned a couple weeks back, actually. A spokesperson for TakaraTomy said they were looking into a possible reissue.

Good eye, bud. I like the display there. Also pretty happy to see Fort Max come back into the public eye. Hopefully the reissue rumors finally pan out.

or is it?

Because that's the name, Nagoya Prime. Can't make heads or tails of the kanji however, but he is indeed a Commander (Shireikan). After some wiki'ing (which you all should do more often), it seems he's the mascot of the city of Nogaya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

The Arms Micron version uses the Deluxe mold, not the Voyager one.

Those are interesting and seem to be mostly new characters. Tiger stripe Ratchet, whatever he is, looks pretty striking. Neat stuff. I wonder what the deal is with those. New manga maybe?

Like I said before, mascots of certain Japanese cities, according to TFWiki. The ones added are:
- Akiba Prime (for Akihabara, often shortened to Akiba)
- Kawasaki Prime (for Kawasaki, 3 different towns, most likely one being Kawasaki, Kanawaga Prefecture)
- Tachikawa (for Tachikawa)
- Umeda Prime (for Umeda)

That looks like a very angry yellow Ratchet with a tail.
Fort Max reissue=pure Win

That would be the Kabaya one, a down-sized build-it-yourself candy toy. Try again

I'm torn here, are these guys straight repaints or do they have new heads?

Actually, if in plastic form, they would be repaints AND remolds w/ a few having new heads.
Since it seems you haven't read, these are Characters designed to represent a specific city in Japan.

I was not asking about the cities, I was asking what caused these repaints, if they are toys and if they would be remolds instead of repaints. Seems no one knows for sure. Nice job on reading a post, though.

But im pretty sure they are just artwork and will not be made into actual figures.
also I've always been curious, who exactly is your avatar of RhA...

A series of Sengoku-Formers would be great.

It's Masamune Date xD. But I get your point. It would be awesome if Takara did some Sengoku-formers. Like turning Optimus to Tadakatsu or Megatron to Nobunaga Oda . That would be awesome-sauce.
