I wanna know how stable this mode is. After going through the effort to remold Metroplex, and with all the utter dedication to G1, there has to be some reason they didn't go through with the original Fort Max base mode.
>>
>>5699087
Lazyness.
>>
>>5699087
One theory I have is its to "modernize" fortmax, much like how generations metroplex differs alot from his old city mode.

There was an article one seibertron that had an old magazine image with him (g1 fort max) in the very city mode he is in now with the TR version, I can't fucking find it but it could also be a homage to that.

Hell maybe they thought might prefer the bigger "base" mode look since he's all sprawled out.

If anyone can find that image/see how g1 fortmax looks please post because my google skills are weak

It's the same obsession with hollow torsos and the robot mode being visible beneath the vehicle mode.

Just the idea that the inside of the robot is hollow or that the robot mode is visible when the car is upside down, triggers the fandom.

When I first saw the images of this guy I thought his proportions were really weird, but seeing the in-hand pictures make him look a lot better.

Plus the poster on TFW said they fixed the hands from the Magnus mold so that he can actually hold his guns better - that was one of the things I hated about Leader Ultra Magnus.

They can tab into the armor that hangs under his arms.
>>
>>5699098
I understand homaging the magazine image, but then they could easily have touted Max as a quad-changer.

Oh, that's clever. If there's gonna be kibble, might as well make use of it.

>>5699098
Sounds like excuses more than anything.

They're "homaging" that obviously mistransformed magazine picture because it's a easy cop out to actually trying to make the city mode.

It' obvious we'll get one from either Takara or Hasbro giving us it for SDCC.

Seriously if Hasbro does a SDCC Fort Max with the sword, Ideally I'd get it.

the fact they haven't announced it yet is what worries me.
>>
>>5699144
This is where I beg to differ, hasbro do toy homages, the master sword was an animation thing that happened in the japanese continuity.

Hasbro gave the deluxe masters toy accurate heads, takara gave us animation accurate heads whether we wanted them or not.

I'm guessing another chromed out paint job with a gun just for kicks, but I wouldn't mind being wrong, since those sdcc devastators ended up in clearances stores around the world for regular rrp of hasbro devastator, I just preferred takara's devvy to bother

>MFW Comic Con Fort Max has a rad sword but is covered in random patches of ugly-ass chrome
>>
>>5699146

The only reason I think the hypothetical SDCC version would have the Master Sword is due to that SDCC 3 pack of Sentinel Prime, Windblade and Brainstorm.

On the packaging of that set Fort Max is clearly in it and he's got the sword.

I really would hope it's true, I'd love to pick one up at TFCon Toronto but that's probably cutting it close.
>>
>>5699147
The only reason Metroplex had chrome was to be faithful to the original toy. SDCC Fortmax will likely have a proper Spike headmaster

>>5699149

For the record.

>>5699149
You people are forgetting that leaked picture from last year clearly says some shit like "exclusive sword"

>>5699151

SDCC versions of Devastator and the "G1" AOE Dinobots also had random shiny bits. They even did a shiny version of a Mighty Mugg one year. Enough of a precedent that it could definitely happen to Fort Max.
>>
>>5699155

Still sad that Sentinel is not in Zeta Prime colors. Would mesh with the overall colors of the set well and it's more interesting than random translucent orange.

If you're patient and find stuff being sold directly from Amazon, you're golden. Sometimes it can be a little more than retail, though (like 1 or 2 bucks), but if you have shit distribution in your area like I do, it's not much of a price to pay.

The gimmick doesn't bother me, its the look and so far its galvatron with his crown that bothers me the most, I can forgive the rest if that's hard to believe.

I'll admit, the alt-mode isn't much, especially without the crane staff (never, ever leave your TFs at your parents house before 'spring cleaning', I have no fucking clue what happened to it and neither do they), but I actually like the simple chunkitude of it, and the transformation is both simple and original, with touched like how the red part of the legs lines up when you fold the shins in half as well as those little blue tabs that join from the torso half to the leg half of the alt mode.

The arms might not do anything besides move around and bend, but they pull it off a lot better than the likes of generations plex, where they feel like kibble in the alt modes (I still feel that if the hands could just fold into the forearm that figure would be so much more satisfying)

Actually, no, it can't. The deluxe class always has more figures released than the larger, more expensive classes, and the no-name characters are useful for filling those numbers out. The higher you go in terms of price point, the more the figures put out need to be either major characters, or offer a lot of repaint/remold possibilities, and guys like Apeface and Snapdragon simply aren't and don't.

The personality is from Roberts fan fiction of Star Saber where he is a bloodthirsty warlord that was part of Jhiaxus's Decepticon Empire.

>>5699685
In his defence he didn't know what Star Sabers personality was at the time, he never saw Victory and thought of the design as a warlord type of character

Turning Star Saber's "hotblooded burning justice" into "insane religious zealotry" is like turning Bumblebee's "gets along with humans" into "has a sexual fetish for humans and fucks them at every opportunity"

It's hack writing, plain and simple. Besides, he came with Tyrest and Pharma in the same arc so his "w-well Star Saber is the only one who fits the narrative!" excuse is pure bullshit.
