Fans Toys have shared images of the color prototype of ttheir FT-40A Hannibal (G1 Cerebros).
This is a nice-cartoon accurate rendition of the Autobot Headmaster. The figure features his Headmaster unit and a detailed Fortress Maximus head mode. He also includes some extra accessories inspired by his appearance in the G1 Japan Headmasters cartoon: the Master Sword, a base for the head which can also convert into a small control station which can hold the Master Sword, interchangeable faces and parts for a toy or cartoon-accurate Fortress Maximus face. This figure is part of the ambitious Fans Toys 50-inch Fortress Maximus figure.
We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

OK, now I'm interested. How close could you get it to the G1 base mode?
Subotnik
Not me. Creating a render is one thing, the realities of engineering, manufacturing, and shipping such a massive figure are another. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

It is, but some of the fan modes were great. As a fan of base modes i was considering buying it just to try those out.
Hobart Paving
If that's the high-water mark I think it proves the point!

Maketoys Pandinus would disagree, the G1 too, to be fair.
Hobart Paving
As is traditional with Transformers.

I've legitimately never had higher hopes for a figure.

In the meantime, the Titans Return reissue will be good enough for now. I've actually come around on the robot mode, but I still think the base mode is MEGA TRASH.

I think it will. And I’m more than happy for it to be on the “eventually” list. They’ve got to nail it.

2044 here we go!

Finally put in a deposit for the body at TerryTFSClub. Who here thinks this will actually be released?

Plus, it's only 200 weekly trips to make up the difference. 28 times a day seems doable.

Still planning on this. I’m renovating part of the house early next month and have recently started seeing a woman who doesn’t have an issue with my collection. My attentions have been focused elsewhere and I can’t really make a decent start until my place is back in one piece.

Girls only get one set of eggs. We're a near lifetime mass production factory.

I think they would stick to the 4 foot scale because it is something they can control and there is not a Primus or another bot there to compare it against. The Zeta version is just too good from an engineering perspective to give them a head start.

Im assuming Ron is a reference to Unicron.
Seeing as this is assuming that 4 foot is the size of MP scale city bots, wouldn't that make 6+ foot a good benchmark for a proper MP scale Unicron?
Ryuu
I think it's limited honestly lol

Guys can easily cum out on top. Once a day for a year and times that by an average lifetime. Guy win handily.

Oh thats right. I need to refill the kiki bottle. Thanks for the reminder.

Note to self… only buy figures from Dpuff MISB.
