Coming to us Via TFW2005 member chen, from Toyspie of Weibo, we have our first look at the upcoming Fortress Maximus toy! As you can see here, this puppy looks to be a heavy remold of Titan Metroplex, if not an entirely new figure all together, and has a base mode. Included with him is an exclusive sword(God Sword maybe?), an exclusive Titanmaster Figure(Cog perhaps?), and Deluxe Titan Master Cerebros! Also revealed on the picture is the MSRP for the figure which appears to be $179.99, which makes this one pricey pony. But it also features a “Premium G1 Deco” which looks pretty good thus far. Take a look at the picture and discuss after the jump!

Ah, yes. Adapters for Max and Metroplex hands to 5mm pegs and holes and max's original guns would be useful.
This tweet shows the Metroplex hand handle on the Max leg cannons:

Right, I meant a grip extension for the PE gun – it's just got a little stub and I can't easily secure it in Titan Metroplex's hand.
payres
It'll be exactly the same as Metroplex, it's the same hands.
Bob Schoonover
I'm hoping for a simple "grip" piece so the big gun with PE Warden can be held by TR Fort Max.
payres
It's his big gun for me. I know you can take the leg cannons off and use them as hand held dual cannons but even so….
3P manufacturers: You know what Metroplex's hand is like, you know what Fort Max's gun is like. Put the two together please!

The absence of Fort Max's waist cannons still bothers me to no end.
Sigh…
I dunno if TakaTom's version will include those but if it doesn't, I hope some 3rd party guys come along & fix that.

So far one each side, from a ramp folded out the shoulder, and one at the front.
He's grey in the US Toyfair 2016 Photos then blue in the later Australian Toyfair and Botcon pictures (although the base mode at Botcon appears to be an older grey version) and will be blue on release.

LOL! If I drank coffee, I would've sprayed it all over my computer this morning!

Oooh, It looks like there are multiple connection points between the abse modes and Fort Max himself.
Also I can't help but notice some show floor models have light grey hands, while others have hands the same blue as the arms.

All these galleries have Max joined to other toys. I'm not sure we've seen Op's base mode combined with anything else yet.

As you can see the links from the side ramps are almost vertical!
3P companies: Longer extension ramps with a Titans Return ramp connector at each end to make those slopes more friendly for rolling stuff down. And while you're at it can we have some adapter ramps with Titans Returns connectors at one end and Micromaster connectors at the other?
Max also desperately needed those runways on the back arms remoulded to include a longer ramp that folded down at the end to go to floor level and hide the hands and to connect to something if you wanted.

I want to see pix of the Leader Class Titan Wars (Prime & Blaster) in their base modes attached to Fort Maxx. I want to see what the "whole city" can look like.

So the Hasbro version still set for $180? I'm guessing what's on that page is all takara and more expensive.
I wanna see some more alt mode pics

That's Jay Leno as a robot. Except the toy probably has better jokes

Doesn't look too big to me. Pretty much the same proportions as the original. And don't forget that head has to unfold into a Deluxe.
mikequillm
Really hoping there's an alternative for that head. Way too big.
Brazilians, always goin for the crotch!
