So kawaii!

Doesn't look cute to me.

It was an anime joke.

In head mode if you move his arms out you can kinda give him his antennas.

I'm certainly into him. Then again, I'm into all but Brawn and Clobber...

I'd be very tempted to pick this up... but (in all seriousiness) if i do... anyone want to swap (fortress?) heads?

I prefer the general retail titanmaster, but will gladly take more paint apps on Fort Max himself.

Are there more paint apps? I didnt see any more, just extra stickers.

Will the SRP be by a wide margin (aside from the availability) between the SDCC and retail? To entice Spikey and others to get this version.

Paint apps? Not necessarily more but the one on his chest seems to be new.

Does that mean Clobber is supposed to be Grimlock?

General Retail. SDCC has the Cerebros head and Master Sword from The Headmasters.

I'm sure we'll get bodies for the heads at some point whether their released in the main line, as exclusives, or through third party companies. Or like you said during May Mayhem or something similar. Hasbro might also have the chance to release UW Blast Off next year during May mayhem

Hopefully Hasbro won't do blast off.

But they did it for Groove.

Felt the exact same about that it was disgraceful to release that.

General Retail. SDCC has the Cerebros head and Master Sword from The Headmasters.

Yeah that's true. Does the paint on the retail fortress maximus body match the American toon?

But there's definitely other reasons to get the Takara sets as well - especially in Bruticus' case, who Brawl and Swindle aside has completely different colours. Defensor also had a different colour scheme reflecting his flatter cartoon colours more.
It's not really invalidating the Takara sets at all, and it seems a bit entitled to say "Well I waited for it so only I should get it".

Early stock photos and colored samples on display at events had them, but looking at in hand photos of the final released product, apparently the red on the feet didn't make the cut.

No it's not. Takara from the get go have said they were producing groove and blast off. Perhaps you weren't looking when the entitlement and whining of Hasbro should do them started. Ever since takara announced groove there was an entitlement and now too it's starting with blast off. I believe the takara decoes are always going to be better but promoting stuff as an exclusive then somewhere else releasing it isn't an exclusive. If something in America is an exclusive the wider world don't get it. What irritates me is people going Hasbro bashing takara then looking for scraps off takaras table by getting their exclusives.

Whoever did the display model didn't transform the right leg properly & 2nd, ALL versions of Fortress Maximus come w/the guns. The leg guns detach & have pop-out handles that fit perfectly in-hand. The only difference seems to be the Master sword. Overall nice figure. I will be picking up the Takara version.

Those aren't the guns people want, though. The guns people want are guns like the two big guns that the G1 toy had that were separate from the leg cannons, which did not detach from the legs on the G1 figure. People want this Fort Max to be as armed, both handheld and body-wise, as the original.

I thought people wanted the hip cannons the most.

From what I've seen, people want every gun and cannon that the original had.
