The only shame for the Robot mode that I see on Fortress Maximus in this review seems to be that I would have liked to have seen another set of guns on the other leg, but that is a minor complaint at best. Great vid for a great toy.
I love Brave Max. Bought him new (similar) Korean version few years ago. I custom painted a few small bits and then sold him with my entire "Large bot" collection.
As for Universe 1. If you have the Ratchet for it I would love to see that, or the Inferno, just for Inferno's bizarre backstory and the way he fits in between Beast Wars and Universe 1. Would LOVE to see you cover him. If you don't have him, well, I can understand but that bio and backstory is hilarious.
I really wanted Fortress Maximus when I was a kid, but never got him. I'm not sorry. When I saw Brave Maximus online, I was in awe. I'm glad they stripped him of accessories. Though I missed the extra robots and the sword that would've been carried over from Grand Maximus, it didn't matter. Brave was awesome, from being a re-release of the largest transformer ever made to the skyscraper look of the towers and overall cool recolor.
Thanks for reviewing this toy! It was well worth the time.
I think I'm the only person that loved the Universe 1.0 line. And you know who goes great with Brave Maximus? The Micromaster combiners that were released in the Universe line. If you don't think of them as Micromasters, but the G1 gestalts they're supposed to homage, they are perfectly to scale with him in both their individual modes and combined mode.
But I guess that violates the 1 figure only rules, so...King Atlas. Or Nemesis Prime. Or Frostbite. Or...
Huh guess I'm jumping on the Nemesis Prime(Big Convoy) band wagon. Hahaha!!!! It has a big gun!!!! Big guns are awesome like diamonds in my brain! 0.0 sorry bout that. Uhh... (starts running away)

well like me universe one is not great line . having all figures that are just repaints of g1 , beast wars , beast machines , armada and rid toys it s just weird but ya some toys are repaints of takara transformers
The review can't be over! There is one last crucial element to Brave Max that was left out: Megabolt Megatron can become a new head for him! I know the reviews already went long, but another few minutes for this and TJ, ya could have made this into a three-parter!
That actually is a phenomenal feature for the toy: after all the two figures are what, a decade apart but can combine?
Actually they dont combine all that well, you have to yank the legs off of Megabolt and he just kinda sets up there, they don't physically lock together. Besides, if Megabolt's ever picked I gotta save it for then, after all it's his feature, not Brave's.
I don't have that much of a problem with mine. The legs are the worst of it. It doesn't lock in as well as Brave, but I must risk offending you by asking the obvious: you are sliding Megabolts hands into the slots, right? >.>
Damn, 1000 US dollars worth?! These are really awesome figures but they are only worth that much to "elite" collectors, in my opinion. For common mortals like me I really have to search the most awesome/per dollar. The most expensive tf I bought are G1 prime (40dollars) and bw tripredacus (45 dollars). XD
Yeah I'm definatly going to have to vote for Razorclaw as he's the only Transformer I saw in your orphnich who really sparked any interest. (Well there's Depthcharge but I have that one.)
Tigerhawk I've noticed in toy form had some type of birdlike covering for his head that was never used in the show and didn't look verry well anyway and I'm kinda currious to see the Razorclaw version.
OMG, TJ... Puh-LEASE do Devastator if you have him. (I know it's a combiner and not 1 figure, but I want you to do it so badly, I'm ok with seeing vehicles then a completed Devastator with no individual-limb reveiws.)
Um... there is no repaint of the Vehicle Thrust which is actully a shame because I really like that mold. Skywarp was repainted from Jetstorm. Beast Machines Thrust was a Motorcycle not a Jet like all the other Thrust toys. He's kind of an oddity that way.
...it has a boner...
