Fortress Maximus Review Part 1

[blasterblaster21]

great review thanks

[jiidee]

I know that bench set!

[ermako20]

Yea I love him honestly I think he's amazing he Is probably my fav transformer I love them all but he's my fav really want him but all the prizes are like $1300 so now I have another question do yu think I should get the main body for like $500 with all pieces accept the small guys and don't feel like writing them out and without accessories plz answer thanks

[CobraCommanderTFW]

@ermako20 urgh its hard to say you could wait to see if a better deal comes around gues you must ask yourself again cna you live without the missing parts and see if you can grab them in the future for, granted alot of cash.

[ermako20]

Hey do yu think I should save up for G1 FORTRESS MAXIMUS? I already got $800 plz answer thanks

[CobraCommanderTFW]

@ermako20 guess it depends how bad you want it, i love the toy and think its worth it but really it boils down to do you think its worth it and will you be happy owning it

[TransformersFan5000]

my friend says that optimus prime and maximus are brothers but they are not.

[KungFuKing166]

I owned pretty much every single G1 Transformers toy (most are in my loft). Never got my hands on RC or Unicron, although Im not sure if they made an RC toy. Man I loved Transformers. Fortress Maximus isnt as good as Metroplex (Metroplex in robot form was coooooool!!). Anyway, thanks for the vid - takes me back to the 80s!

[insertclevernickname]

I owned the oringinal one, original optimus prime, trex dinobots, all gone to the dump. Thanks mom.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

@insertclevernickname urgh man sorry to hear that those if you didnt want them could have been sold for a fair amount on ebay

[leia072306]

Hello, I am the only one that sell's a boxed case for this gem... user i.d. leia072306 thanks A&A acrylic's!

[M2DaDC1985]

rotlol i Was kiding :D

[M2DaDC1985]

did any 1 notice his shirt sez F**** or it's just me??? :)

[CobraCommanderTFW]

@M2DaDC1985 its a company called French Connection UK, so they made it FCUK. I totally got it because its almost a swear word XD

[ultramegatrion]

I found him at the flea market for......... $7.00...... SEVEN dollars....missing the head and no box,but 7 bucks you can't beat that....

[SamND1967]

@ultramegatrion Are you kidding me?!

Damn, I once saw him at a feamarket for like 40 bucks.

Complete to... missing box though.

But other then that, he was complete and in good condition.

I should of bought it, I had 30 bucks, if my mom had given me an extra 10 bucks, I would of gotton him!

[329Cade]

would you willing to sell this for a trade of two figures and 240

[mgallipp]

you should do g1ultra magnus the transformer

[masteralaric]

How much quid goes into an american dallor? (or vice versa)

[CobraCommanderTFW]

@masteralaric no idea go onto a currency converter to check

[masteralaric]

@CobraCommanderTFW Damn...

I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Those things hate me for some odd reason. lol

[noneedtobeshoutful]

@masteralaric It's about $1.50 give or take.

[MindSplat]

This thing is rubbish.

[SirKobrias]

that toy looks soo fun. too bad its so dang expensive. i have scroponok somewere, does anyone know how much he is worth?

[CobraCommanderTFW]

@SirKobrias totally depends on its condition my friend, if its complete with box it can go for a couple hundred £, if its just complete i would say around £60 - £80 at a guess

[SirKobrias]

@CobraCommanderTFW umm no... come to think of it, i dont even have his head( bought him that way at a flea market) he dosnt have any weapons or any of the attachments. pretty much just the scorpion mode lol.

[Mastersecret100]

@CobraCommanderTFW So, that's around $78-$104.

[alexpenncy]

@Mastersecret100 Its over $1000.

[MrClassicor]

Ah, this video is a true piece of history... "sorry dude if I got your name wrong"? Andy saying that about Dave? Different world back then, very different world...

[CobraCommanderTFW]

@MrClassicor jesus i forgot all about that lol back in the day man, how things change

[Razlo5000]

his goon. not his gun, his goon.

[irishgaming1]

not sure if someone has said this or not, but the cockpit where you store spike, faces backwards becuase thats where spike pilots ft max when he's in battle cruiser mode.

[InternetRebellion]

OMG!!! I had no idea the original Ft.MAX was sooo large! I've been converting a TF;Cybertron "METROPLEX" into a Ft.MAX, and this video is a GOLDMIND of information!

[CobraCommanderTFW]

oh thanks man i wouldnt say it was a goldmine but im glad you enjoyed it

[optibottumus]

I am just waiting for one of thesse guys to come up on ebay. saw one for 25 bucks in box. the next day i checked the bid and it was at £750

[CobraCommanderTFW]

its one of those figures im afraid be nice if they reissued so people that missed out could have one

[cyblox2000]

you are suck a fu..ing toy nerd buying fortress maximus for that much i got mine for £50

[elibob02]

he is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[tranzillabot]

more than huge ginormous

[infinityjrh]

NNNNEEERRRDDDDSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[jossc]

"he is the daddy" mmmff saaaaaau. XD

[kprice07]

aww thats all good was only taking a guess and one day ill grab it, but who do you think is probally worth a grab to a collection ?

[CobraCommanderTFW]

geez man that really a tough question, personally i think its down to you, basically how much do you value a character. Like for me i grew up always wanting the headmasters and pretenders, since i grew up around the time they ended and were still advertised :(.

Go check out photo galleries of the figures you really wanted or think are kool. Personally i would always value the headmasters figures above most of the others avaliable.

[kprice07]

good review man, always wanted that since i was a kid, i had scorponok from a car bootsale but could never find him and by any chance am i hearing a bit of a welsh accent? or it might just be me

[CobraCommanderTFW]

sorry to say im not from wales my friend lol but if you can pick up fortmax hes a crazy good figure

[Ozaku88]

mega zarak and Fortress maximus are both fortres type giat transformesrs, but they are like bugs to unicron jan Primus.

what!? even a toy city mode maximus is that big?! now it can say to be even same size to unicron and primus... Ozaku88 out.

[glen58316]

no toy is worth your yearly wage asshole dont be direspectiful to those less fortunite than u. hasbro and takara shouldnt been so profitering like they r. we all have the right to own not just u rich assholes.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

never said you werent allowed to have one and its not really hasbro or takara that were making the money off me it was the ebay seller.

[sinnertwin7]

any other way,wish they could make Fort max a lil bit affordable for not-so-rich people like me.sigh.but of course,it's a case of scarcity

[Pokevision1]

nice shirt

[bballcardcollector09]

i need to get this the next time they reissue another one in japan. heard brave maximus sold for $150 before scalpers raised the price to $500 plus.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

be nice if they did reissue this but im not sure they will be able to make another one, hope they do though

[dragonlord2200]

yo i missed out on getting this guy for 35 us dollars

[CobraCommanderTFW]

ah man that sucks man sorry to hear that

[Gaostriker]

haha u looked cute in this vid lol

[CobraCommanderTFW]

im hoping thats a good thing XD

[shadow135810]

nice vid

[CobraCommanderTFW]

cheers man

[nujevad28]

It's funny hearing Andy talk about David before they got to know each other.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

ah yes memories good times

[SoldierNtheonly1]

wow, a frikking huge transformer that transforms into a playset sixed city-thing, hhm, makes unicron look like armada optimus prime,in size, how many mini-cons can you stuff in him?

[CobraCommanderTFW]

lol no way dude if your gonna do somthin like that gotta go old school with the micromasters. Not sure, if you just mean like stand on him in base mode id say alot

[LOCS20]

damn I had metroplex before but fortress looks way bigger then him

[CobraCommanderTFW]

yea he towers over him, looks like a child next to his parent

[digioverlord]

wow how could a kid transform this guy with out been squished or putting out his/her back lol

[CobraCommanderTFW]

guess thats why there not aloud to make them anymore, stupid well 2000's children. In the 80 and 90's we were strong lol

[uzitheklown]

i find it funny that the uss flagg is getting a reissue

[CobraCommanderTFW]

the big gi joe boat?

[uzitheklown]

yeps thats what im hereing

[LilShizammy]

my bro still has his entire g1 collection, man what memories watching this.

[GokuSSJ0679]

how big is Fortress Maximus compaird to metro plex?

[CobraCommanderTFW]

havent really stood them next to each other but i would guess if you put a tall deluxe figure on top of metro's head it would be about that

[jlward]

No comparison. FM is effing gigantic. Let's just put it this way: it's like comparing Dallas, TX to Portland, OR.

[skut9]

wtf could primus beat this guy

[Gothiczartan]

does spike can fit in the cockpit of the fortress maximuss when robot mode?

[CobraCommanderTFW]

he can do but i usally keep all of his peices on the larger green area on his shoulder so i dont loose anything

[Gothiczartan]

there's a kid with his toy you enjoy sharing with, that was nice of him for doing that for us.

[balthier1983]

thats a japanese model, it's not even he same cerebros, not to knoc but i bet thats the japanese cerebros from the japanese series headmasters and not gen 1, because the colour style and design are all wrong

[dfwarkid]

os hi bigger than metroplex?

[CobraCommanderTFW]

hes much bigger then metroplex

[docribby]

on mine it dosent have the tower problem

[PurexOvvnage]

how much does he weigh

[CobraCommanderTFW]

not sure never really weighed him and dont really have anythin to fo it with

[prfctcellrulz]

Do you accept human sols? I'll trade you mine for him. I've always wanted Maximus and I'm part of the 25% who don't have him and would do ANYTHING for him short of shelling out the cash!

[CobraCommanderTFW]

lol no man hes worth more then one lil soul

[prfctcellrulz]

Damn! Well, I commend you on your good luck of owning him! Hey, can't blame me for trying!

[lydelli2004]

i remember when i saw him when i was a kid, he was selling for $100 plus dollars and my parents never bought him for me :(. I think a used one i seen on ebay was $1000.

[tytr768]

i think by watching the rebirth cerbros or serbro how ever its spelled. transformers into a computer.may the bit at the end of this review is his computer mode. that cornects to fortress maximus?

[CobraCommanderTFW]

yea i can see where your coming from and it makes sense rather then it just being another part to the city mode

[Mechatron1101]

i saw one on ebay... it was over £600 =( T.T

[trisevo]

great review dude. might be worth turning off the TV in the background next time though :)

[supersmashking00]

yo this dude is a giant.

[transformersmoviesp]

wow hes bigger then I thought he would

[kurtosis]

T_T i want one jejeje naaaa i remember many funny times.

[Skull10]

I had it. Sold it in 1993.

[Aldersees75]

u suk

[KalelPrime]

It's actually spelled suck, and u is simply a letter. Now if you didnt such so hard at english it may one day dawn on you that perhaps its not him that sucks but rather you.

[Aldersees75]

Sorry for that. My friend did that when I was gettin somthing, my friend hates TF's so he usally does that, so sorry ill try for it to not happen again!

[mariusvanrhijn]

And then you proceed to spell it as "such". Hypocrit much?

[MikeSIN83]

I remember I got fotress maxius for christmas when I was 5 years old. It was 99.99 unluckly for me my sister was also born that christmas day and my family was poor so my father made me pay him back for the present.

[KillahWatts]

Dang, that bites. On the plus side, little sisters are good for doing your chores for candy:-)!

[sly42cooperbeast]

Fort Maximus THX for telling me bout him! Now, I must go to ebay.

[scythicprimus1981]

i wish hasbro would re-iusse him. i know they was thinking about it but he failed safety test but i think they should do it for a adult collectorble. That way they can maybe not do some of the test for him but they still porbably will. I think it would be a good choice for ppl that cant affored the G1 version or the others.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

its a good idea, maybe one day in the future we will get onewho knows

[powerofdeath123]

oh god mother of death...i want that so bad but i'll never get him..and i thought unicron was the bigest

[CobraCommanderTFW]

yea unicron looks like a deluxe figure next to him lol

[destructionsnakepit]

Do you think they'll ever release an Encore version of this guy? I cant afford anywhere near 700 quid for him

[CobraCommanderTFW]

theres always hope but i dont think they will, apparently its not save to have a toy that big lol

[fanguy99]

What if we request it from Takara?

[fanguy99]

To Reissue Fortress Maximus for the Encore line.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

im still pritty sure they wouldnt be able to do it, only time will tell

[sandrodjuran]

where did you get him and for how much

[CobraCommanderTFW]

off ebay i think i say in part 2 how much i paid for him

[santaconvoy]

fortress maximus is my fav...... :)

[thermaheat123]

did you know in a press meeting they said they will bring back the following toylines because there so populare and were realy sucsessful beastwars,univers,g1 transformers,classics but they said something about it coming out spring or summer maybe this year or 2009 cant remember but im pretty sure its 2009 it will come out oh and like march is when the animated toy line comes out

[thermaheat123]

theres this one base transformer that is only 2 in the world and my friend has one and some other person

[SUPREMEZAIN01234]

fort max is rare now, all the idiots on ebay are selling those fort max knock offs

[Madashell23]

I would want a Fortress Maximus but it's so expensive. The most expensive one I saw on Ebay was for $1875 or something.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

ohhhh but hes worth ever penny (or cent if your american :D )

[thermaheat123]

you must of put the arms on wrong so the sticker look backwards

[transformer5622]

i built mine and he is bigger i posted a video on him

[Kongu954]

Man the city mode is huge. I have not even seen him in person:(

[tommy2longview]

i am forever jealous...5 stars...

[KalelPrime]

I hate you, yes hate. that is so mint man. and yes u got the name right
