Takara’s official Transformers Twitter page brings excellent news for fans of giant robots or the late G1 era, confirming that the 2000 pre-order requirement has been met to produce Grand Maximus! The endeavor does not stop there however, as another 1000 is required for the Pretender shell to be produced as well.
Takarahas also posted some box art of Grand Maximus and Greatshot in the retro style many collectors have come to love, which you can check out after the jump!
Grand Maximus is slated for release in March of next year and is available for pre-order for roughly $260 USD via our sponsors.

D@mn…
Seeing that the thread got bumped, I thought we're getting another chance at LG-EX Grand Maximus.
Treadshot 2.0
I got a Greatshot still MISB and I'm contemplating whether to open and keep it or move it on.

Part of me wants to get him, while the other part is hoping for a better Sixshot mold to be made in the next couple of years for a new Greatshot.
Crossbonesss
damn, for a good price too

Yep

TakaraTomy Transformers Legends LG-EX GREATSHOT
this legit?
Fenrys
hell im currently looking to offload a clonedroid greatshot to get the takara one, so i'd lean towards takara
Bob Schoonover
I'd lean TT but it depends on a number of things. MMC's is far too large for a WFC-based collection, but works well w/other MMC and Planet X figures. It depends a bit on what you're looking for
IceConvoy
They’re both good figures. I do prefer the Takara-Tomy figure though. It’s anime accurate and has a much cleaner design. It also has better proportions in robot mode and is a lot more fun to transform.

For those who have both figures which would you recommend Takara/Tomy LG-EX Greatshot or MMC Grandus Hexatron?

quickswitch, was in one of the hasbro box sets

Hello who is the second guy from the left in the attached picture?
DoubleClouder
Mine does the same thing
Mr H
Just got him delivered today from TFSource, really don't know why I waited so long to get a citybot. Question about the main head, is his forehead supposed to click above the face after transformation from bot mode or does it just stay in place. Mine is a little loose and moves down with the slightest touch.

£119.99 on kapow toys’ Black Friday sale today. I didnt intend to buy Grand Maximus when he was announced but seeing him for that price, I just had to cave in. I don’t have Fortress Maximus or Metroplex so he will be a new mold for me.
Fenrys
Agreed, think I’ll be sticking with my clonedroid great shot
Stepper
This MMC Greatshot looks good and the size is huge compare to LG Greatshot
Fenrys
Robot mode is just fine I’ve got the clonedroid so I was mainly curious about how they sized to each other
IceConvoy
Here’s a simple side by side comparison for now. I need to mess with the MMC figure to remember how to transform him if you want any alt mode pics.
