For people watching in 2021, there is a much better fanmode that does not involve unscrewing the legs. What you have to do is tuck the legs under the official city mode, bend the arms at the elbow so that there touching the ground and slide put the big red guns infront/onto the hands. Now the fortress mode sits much higher up like the original and it won't lead to stripping screws.

It’s ingenious

I have a tip to kinda hide those hands in the two modes. Turn them around until the palms are facing up. Then, bring the hand up and like wrap those fingers around that back part of the arm. Bring up the runway for clearance. The thumbs may still be there, but I like to think of them as chimneys.

I'm pretty sure hasbro looked at metroplex and said. Hasbro employee #1: Hmmm how can we screw this up. Hasbro Employee #2: We down grade him, decapitate him, paint him blue, and resell him as fort max. Hasbro Employee #1: What about lights and sounds. Hasbro Employee #2: We'll retool mostly sound effects from R2-D2. People like R2 still, right? Hasbro Employee #1: But what about the voice. Hasbro Employee #2: The Janitor is still here right?

Imagine The Lazy Eyebrow reviewed the Planet X or Fans Hobby figures

Yeah, the city extensions alt modes Blaster, Optimus, and Soundwave become are how FortMax becomes an ACTUAL City.

The battle station/battleship mode looks better when seen from the front lol. You were facing it the wrong way. Of course, having the rifle and double laser would also help it but that's beyong the stock figure.

I bought this guy, mainly because Generations Metroplex is double the cost now ( I can't justify spending almost 400 bucks or more). I don't like the two other modes, so he's never left bot mode since I pulled it out of the box. The novelty of having something so huge pretty much wore off after I realized that the best place to have him is the floor. I've pre ordered the Perfect Effect gun upgrade, so I hope it will start growing on me.

to be honest I beg to differ. his robot mode of all of them have gone great! the base sure but articulation and detail show they updated it. all it needs is an upgrade kit. maybe for his legs, as it is the flaw maker in base mode

@benvoliothefirst

Agreed. G1 Fort Max is great, in that G1 "I turned him into a robot and now his elbows go up and down and nothing else" sense. Having one that can ballet dance is miles ahead, base mode is good enough, any nobody uses that stupid spaceship mode anyway, which is exactly what HasTak knew going in.

Man I wish they would do a decent cost re-release of this guy. It's sucks that when you iss out on a Titan it'll cost you an arm and a leg to buy them on the 2nd hand market.

In the G1 cartoons 4th season of the American release, wasn't Cerebros' headmaster Spike Wittwicky himself?

If it was given to someone in Kamloops

ok so when you open his legs u remove the screws. then when transformed him to robot mode did you put the 2 screws back onto his leg? if you dont doesnt that put to much weight on the plastic knee joint? how is yours holding out?

I am assuming emessary was named off of the body for RID cerebros, but since titans return uses the american interpritation of headmasters and not the japanese, they flipped the names, don't know why they didn't call him spike and save that for the RID repaint

7:04 yeah parts warming never bothers me but I can safely say that if it did I would be more than happy to overlook it if the end result would look this good.

the reason the base is bad is because u have to buy the leader class to add base modes. they made it a cash grab

The chad Metroplex vs the virgin Fort Max????

So does no one combine the other leader class figures with him? I haven't seen a single person do that.

Also the exclusive comes with a different Spike Head Sculpt

Super professional love it

Which Titans return will you review next?

I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR ADD ONS TO BRUTICUS: Vortex: 2 of the Grey MG Nail guns Vortex gets, Paint them Blue. Brawl: If you have it, Take a Cybertron Scattershot gun, paint it Black, and put it on the top of Brawl to get a rotating MG turret on the Top Swindle: Take a DOTM Optimus Mechtech Gun, Paint Black and Purple streaks, Shorten Peg, attach to Left Arm Blast Off: Paint Rear thruster parts Blue or Orange Onslaught: Take a DOTM leader Ironhide, take his gun, paint it Onslaught Est, and give it to onslaught. Vehicle Storage, you put in the Screw Hole next to the 2nd tire, give Onslaught a Missle Launcher this is just a suggestion to make your bruticus look better, because I did the same things you did to my bruticus. THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS BTW!!!! :)

Haha interesting idea, and you're welcome

Lol, I like the way you describe the toy, very funny......

DNA design has made upgrade kits with more articulation tor the hands, better hip ratchets, ankle tilts, and some abdominal cannons...

I hope at some point we get an official IDW for max. I still really the figure though

in RiD 01 cerebros is the smaller headmaster and the larger one is called 'the emissary'

just giving 2 solutions for fortress/city mode first one you can spread one leg out and rotate an arm upwards next to the tower for a better but less accurate city/fortress or basically re-arrange metroplex and have fort max just ly on top which looks not that bad

Fortress Maximus is unable to ENLARGE, becuz he has used up his puhwurs to operate on Spock.

Can't wait to pick this guy up, sorry if you mentioned it in your review and I just can't remember but are his joints tighter than metroplex's? As in does he flop around on the legs as much lol

You totally lost the reason for that flap at the front. You know the red one. It's used to connect leader class figures onto it like Optimus and Blaster.

Great review! I think I have the same dissapointment with the city mode and him not having a big gun like metro. (He comes with the two smaller guns but it ruins the look for me) I mean at this point for $150 (or what ever the price he's going for) I would probably pick up the encore as well since he has more features and looks better to me then this guy in all of his modes. Also sad he didn't get a gasket and grommet to make cog. (I think that would have been done great had they made him.) btw loved the Super smash bros reference and saw the fine print and can't wait for the Hexatron review! :)

You could make the hands into fists for the alt modes.

$130 more than Metroplex? When? He was the same retail price. Unless you paid more for him than that, but I know I saw him in all the Toy R Us stores around me and didn't seem to sell well.

I'm really torn on getting this one or the original vintage one. I'm cool with the battleship mode and the fan mode for the city mode, but what really has me torn is that it comes with no freaking assessories! I know you can get a gun and a master sword for him from third-party companies on eBay but what really ticks me off is that he doesn't come for radar dish and those two big red hip-mounted cannons! Time will only tell which one and I will end up purchasing. Such is life. Till all are one.....

I agree they got lazy when it comes to the modes differentiation. But I do like this figure because like Metroplex, he's a giant canvass for customization.

All the advancements in toy technology since the 80's and they can't even figure out a city mode. What a failure.

I called this thing on day one as a brickformer. And still hold strong to seeing their lazy engineering on this retooling. It has been pointed out that the arm that hinges for no reason, the cavity hole could be used as a jail. I really should pass on this, but holding out for the Takara version, just for that paint scheme, sword, and headmaster. I just can't buy the Hasbro version and have him next to the G1 version.

@TheLazyEyebrow

8 жыл бұрын

it really is a bit of a disappointment

The reason the fortress mode is so lackluster and bare-bones is more to do with another gimmick in the line, than anything else... You’re supposed to connect other Leader Class figures that have their own base modes to the fortress mode, and they’re supposed to form some kind of Autobot city. Examples of figures that can be used are Blaster, Powermaster Prime, Soundwave, Overlord, Six Shot, and Sky Shadow. The same gimmick is also found in the fortress mode of Titans Return Trypticon.

I'm sure someone's mentioned this already, but damn do those shins look like Zoidberg.

a split and a facedown, you're a fortress. Okay.

Fortress Maximus' rolling/hovering battle more IS his fortress mode. Same with Metroplex. The mode you called his "fortress" mode is no such thing, that is his CITY mode. Same for Metroplex. That's why they are called "cityformers" because they form a so-called city mode. You could call it base mode if you like (since they aren't really large enough to be cities).
