For people watching in 2021, there is a much better fanmode that does not involve unscrewing the legs. What you have to do is tuck the legs under the official city mode, bend the arms at the elbow so that there touching the ground and slide put the big red guns infront/onto the hands. Now the fortress mode sits much higher up like the original and it won't lead to stripping screws.
Do you happen to have a photo of this?
Or you could poke DNA design to do what they should have done ages ago and make replacement lower legs
Now I wonder where I'm going to put this guy if I get him...
Hahaha
Well you be going to the Perfect Effect Titan Gun?
i answered that question in the video
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer
Oops, my question was at the start of your vid...lolz Sorry.
I like to call him the plastic giant :1 he's HUGE 2 when I saw him at the store I told him :you stay I go no following...
hahahahahahahaha. Superman coloured he is too = P
I’m proud of you lazy, you gave this figure to a kid who would actually play with it and not some dude who will fiddle with it for 20 minutes and then put it on a shelf for the rest of its life.
A head that turns into a robot that has a head that turns into a robot that has a head.... HEAD-ROBOT-CEPTION
nothing like Iron Gianting yourself together eh?
It’s ingenious
Sad to see you haven't reviewed Titans Return Trypticon :/ probably the best reimagining of an old titans figure.
I'm pretty sure hasbro looked at metroplex and said.
Hasbro employee #1: Hmmm how can we screw this up.
Hasbro Employee #2: We down grade him, decapitate him, paint him blue, and resell him as fort max.
Hasbro Employee #1: What about lights and sounds.
Hasbro Employee #2: We'll retool mostly sound effects from R2-D2. People like R2 still, right?
Hasbro Employee #1: But what about the voice.
Hasbro Employee #2: The Janitor is still here right?
it's not a opinion, he doesn't know how to appreciate something
Denis Mario I’m certain that’s an opinion. An opinion is defined as an individual viewpoint or judgement on something, NOT necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Opinions can be argued over like you are. Facts can’t.
The robot mode is good stop whining
Legends Fort Max:
OH GOD HASBRO WHAT DID YOU DO
“You know that dude who voiced him from the anime?
Bring him back!”
All it takes is a joke and every single retard flocks to the replies and cries over it...
very nice video bro :D
You lol
And this is why I stick to my Takara G1 Fort Max Reissue. It's more of a brick, but a holy grail for collectors kind of brick. That is not to say that I won't get the Takara version of the LG Fort Max if I get some extra cash on my way around October or Christmas. Also why does MP Spike not being in scale surprise you? That Fort Max is a CHUG scaled not MP scaled.
I have a tip to kinda hide those hands in the two modes. Turn them around until the palms are facing up. Then, bring the hand up and like wrap those fingers around that back part of the arm. Bring up the runway for clearance. The thumbs may still be there, but I like to think of them as chimneys.
Itxd be nigh impossible to engineer it, but i'd love to see a proper alt mode for cerebros
Tbh his communications room mode looks kinda like an AT-RT or AT-PT
you had the battle station backward
yyeeeaaaahhh....I kinda realized that last night but it was too late to fix it. oh well. points regarding the mode still stand
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer hey is the next review powermaster optimus prime
+Jaybrien Torres not even anywhere nears close
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer OK thanks for the heads up
Are you going to review Mastermind Creations Hexatron soon, and I'm still waiting for a review of CW Bruticus and X-transbots Apollyon.
I personally can't wait for Trypticon...
William Sherman Me too
I can’t wait for scorponok
It's a shame the Trypticon figure sucked
Cooperz Films @ yep
@@cooperbrown5597 I don't own it but it looks alright it's just so small compared to fortress maximus
#BackwardsMaximusConfirmed
Fortress Maximus is unable to ENLARGE, becuz he has used up his puhwurs to operate on Spock.
Now I'm not sure if I want this toy. Also, toy fair in early October if you're interested in going again.
Haha I'll be there. selling stuff
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP. (Psst, any TFP stuff)
nah not really. odds and ends. mostly CHUG
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Like that MP Optimus you took away before I had the chance? (JK.)
Hey, I have it, I like it a lot, it's better in hand :)
The battle station/battleship mode looks better when seen from the front lol. You were facing it the wrong way.
Of course, having the rifle and double laser would also help it but that's beyong the stock figure.
Imagine The Lazy Eyebrow reviewed the Planet X or Fans Hobby figures
Man I wish they would do a decent cost re-release of this guy. It's sucks that when you iss out on a Titan it'll cost you an arm and a leg to buy them on the 2nd hand market.
as always a cool and extensive review, also looking forward to the hexatron review ;)
Haha thanks
the reason the base is bad is because u have to buy the leader class to add base modes. they made it a cash grab
I'm loving all the new titan return figures! I hope to get fort max soon. 👍
great work in this, can't imagine how hard it was given his size..
Thanks = )
this hands brooo this fucking hands :(
I bought this guy, mainly because Generations Metroplex is double the cost now ( I can't justify spending almost 400 bucks or more). I don't like the two other modes, so he's never left bot mode since I pulled it out of the box. The novelty of having something so huge pretty much wore off after I realized that the best place to have him is the floor. I've pre ordered the Perfect Effect gun upgrade, so I hope it will start growing on me.
yeah I sorta the feel the same way. i like Metro, but I haven't done anything with him in two years and then this review happened
Sidestreakeralert lol make this a thing
I HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR ADD ONS TO BRUTICUS:
Vortex: 2 of the Grey MG Nail guns Vortex gets, Paint them Blue.
Brawl: If you have it, Take a Cybertron Scattershot gun, paint it Black, and put it on the top of Brawl to get a rotating MG turret on the Top
Swindle: Take a DOTM Optimus Mechtech Gun, Paint Black and Purple streaks, Shorten Peg, attach to Left Arm
Blast Off: Paint Rear thruster parts Blue or Orange
Onslaught: Take a DOTM leader Ironhide, take his gun, paint it Onslaught Est, and give it to onslaught. Vehicle Storage, you put in the Screw Hole next to the 2nd tire, give Onslaught a Missle Launcher
this is just a suggestion to make your bruticus look better, because I did the same things you did to my bruticus. THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS BTW!!!! :)
Haha interesting idea, and you're welcome
to be honest I beg to differ. his robot mode of all of them have gone great! the base sure but articulation and detail show they updated it. all it needs is an upgrade kit. maybe for his legs, as it is the flaw maker in base mode
Agreed. G1 Fort Max is great, in that G1 "I turned him into a robot and now his elbows go up and down and nothing else" sense. Having one that can ballet dance is miles ahead, base mode is good enough, any nobody uses that stupid spaceship mode anyway, which is exactly what HasTak knew going in.
Yeah, the city extensions alt modes Blaster, Optimus, and Soundwave become are how FortMax becomes an ACTUAL City.
Super cereal bros
The chad Metroplex vs the virgin Fort Max????
I called this thing on day one as a brickformer. And still hold strong to seeing their lazy engineering on this retooling. It has been pointed out that the arm that hinges for no reason, the cavity hole could be used as a jail. I really should pass on this, but holding out for the Takara version, just for that paint scheme, sword, and headmaster. I just can't buy the Hasbro version and have him next to the G1 version.
it really is a bit of a disappointment
I think you transformed the hands wrong in both alt modes. Actually, scratch that, you didn’t transform them at all.
Fortress Maximus' rolling/hovering battle more IS his fortress mode. Same with Metroplex. The mode you called his "fortress" mode is no such thing, that is his CITY mode. Same for Metroplex. That's why they are called "cityformers" because they form a so-called city mode. You could call it base mode if you like (since they aren't really large enough to be cities).
The rolling battle st mode i can deal with as they used that mode in the cartoon. However, they butchered/neutered the fortress mode. I'll stay with the g1 figure. Even Trypticon they slimmed down. No more satellite dish and the other thing on opposite side. Omega Supreme is easily the best titan. Had him when I was 13. I will never get rid of him either. I did get the siege figure though.
The ramps on the arms should have had the extending ramps on them, so they fold over the arms in form mold to cover the hands. Just terrible. Fortress mode is horrid. G1 mode is best hands down.
On the subtitles, the “why hello UA-cam! Greeting from the Lazy Eyebrow reviewer” translates to “i know UA-cam recently stabbed a reviewer”
In the G1 cartoons 4th season of the American release, wasn't Cerebros' headmaster Spike Wittwicky himself?
LOL the 1980's version is WAY better than this in both of it's alt modes. I think they only thing this version of Fort Max has over the G1 is articulation. I'll live without articulation for a better alt mode
I am assuming emessary was named off of the body for RID cerebros, but since titans return uses the american interpritation of headmasters and not the japanese, they flipped the names, don't know why they didn't call him spike and save that for the RID repaint
Except the head on this fort max is 100 times better than the G1
$130 more than Metroplex? When? He was the same retail price. Unless you paid more for him than that, but I know I saw him in all the Toy R Us stores around me and didn't seem to sell well.
DNA design has made upgrade kits with more articulation tor the hands, better hip ratchets, ankle tilts, and some abdominal cannons...
you misspelled "nonsense" in the easter egg. How would you describe the color "impressed?"
huh. so I did. rascally little e got in there. also it's a sort of bluish greenish redish colour
So we all know metroplex is better than Fortress Maximus right. As a toy and Titan because he’ll turn Maximus in to a city wide scrap hep
Despite Tarka's figures being 'Just imports' almost everything from Prime Wars made by Tarka is better
We need a third party fort max, we had one or two awsome third party cerebros but not fort max, weird (Well, full size anyway)
The only Titans Returns figure I might get is Powermaster Optimus Prime, and maybe Blurr
All the advancements in toy technology since the 80's and they can't even figure out a city mode. What a failure.
"primetra magnus" XD So weird!
ok so when you open his legs u remove the screws. then when transformed him to robot mode did you put the 2 screws back onto his leg? if you dont doesnt that put to much weight on the plastic knee joint? how is yours holding out?
0:56 -0:59 If you didn’t know a singularity is the thing that contains the mass of a black hole
Honestly did this fort max need to be such a brick? So much wasted potential.
I wanted metroplex, but the cost was too darn high, so I had to settle for fort max. But it's a special edition....
Subspace Emissary
I don't care what you guys say, I still know him as Head Master Spike.
where is oppollyon, mp skywarp and most of all my only full combiner bruticus
So are you going to buy trypticon? For me this is a stupid question, of course i will.
Lol, I like the way you describe the toy, very funny......
in RiD 01 cerebros is the smaller headmaster and the larger one is called 'the emissary'
Hope they make Fort Max a headmaster for a even bigger mega bot that’s like 9 feet tall
I hope at some point we get an official IDW for max. I still really the figure though
You totally lost the reason for that flap at the front. You know the red one. It's used to connect leader class figures onto it like Optimus and Blaster.
Can you plz call Hasbro and tell them to put it in stores and fix the things
Well, comparing this guy without any parts forming to Metroplex does put Fort max to shame. Makes me want to not really get it. But I agree, the robot is probably the best part.
it sure is
I think your battlestation mode is backwards
It's too expensive for what it is unfortunately
Which Titans return will you review next?
Another great review, as always!!!! Your stop motion is phenomenal!!!
thanks = D
If fortmax was a headmaster........
OH BOY
So... great review and a shit toy. Got it. Thanks.
It's called Starship mode.
I have G1 Fortress Maximus, is it better?
I would gladly buy a super ceree bros game
Thanks for this review. I, uh... I dunno how I feel about this. I REALLY would love a Fort Max on my shelf, but this figure is just... I ALREADY OWN THIS. AND IT'S CALLED METROPLEX. For robot mode, the retoolings are very clever, but the Transformation is SO lazy for his alt modes, it makes me sad. I don't think I'm gunna go after this one right now. I'd rather track down Devy first.
Great review dude!
yep, there are certainly better toys you cam spend your money on. thanks = )
It's for head master vehicles
The G1 Fortress mode looks better imo
I already have that Fort Max TR, and looks very good to me, now i'm close to buy a Vintage 1987 Fort Max G1 but without accesories, what do you think about it?
I think g1 fortmax is quite a bit more fun to goof with, especially since it's roughly the same size
Yeah, they really dropped the ball with Titans Return Fortress Maximus. Wish they made his city mode look more like the G1 original. With the hands visible, it looks like a robot doing a split.
You can do the fan tower version with the legs. Also the original did the city mode with the splited legs as shown in the transformer catalogue. Just look up the 1987 catalogue featuring fortress maximus so you can see it.
Your missing the gun thing on his leg.
$130 more?! he was only $20 more in the US and I used a 15% coupon plus rewards bucks.
well, there you go then, even more reason to get him!
what i was referring to was an actualy G1 original, not an Encore. he was at a toy store for 400. fort max costs 270 here btw
parts forming worst toy ever
Super professional love it
Wait, why would you have to remove the legs? Is it not possible to transform him the same way as Metroplex, since he's a heavy retool?
Wasn't a fan of Optibotimus' fan mode. you can do it tyat way but I didn't think it suited the figure
What???Fort Max has no gun????
you really can't get over MP bumblebee, can you?
It's just a running joke now, but one I plan to put to rest soon
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer good
because to be honest, i'm getting a little annoyed at the joke now
Haha as am I, amd I've got a pretty good way to end it pretty soon = P
i want but i can't afford
My maximus is in a container
Metroplex review?...
question: why didnt you reviewed generations metroplex?
lockout yt he just did, lol
So this is a shitty set
Are you going to review bruteicus again sorry i spelt the name wrong but i hope to see him when your done
yep
I'll admit, FortMax is kind of a lazy retool. I'm still happy I got him myself, but mostly because I missed the opportunity to get Metroplex for any kind of reasonable price. Well, that and Cerbros is a major personal favorite character of mine and almost entirely worth the price of admission by himself. Okay, I'm exaggerating that last part a little, but I still absolutely love Cerbros and even if I could trade FortMax for a Metroplex, I think I'd rather keep him for Cerbros.
Kudos on the fortress mode leg disassembly advice though. I might have to try that on mine, especially nice I'm likely to primarily display him in that form so that I can have more fun with Cerbros separately. Seriously though, the legs are by far the most disappointing aspect of the retool, all the wasted empty space, which with only a little more effort could have been utilized as part of the actual transformation to create more convincing alt modes.
The reason the fortress mode is so lackluster and bare-bones is more to do with another gimmick in the line, than anything else... You’re supposed to connect other Leader Class figures that have their own base modes to the fortress mode, and they’re supposed to form some kind of Autobot city. Examples of figures that can be used are Blaster, Powermaster Prime, Soundwave, Overlord, Six Shot, and Sky Shadow. The same gimmick is also found in the fortress mode of Titans Return Trypticon.
Also the exclusive comes with a different Spike Head Sculpt
Unicron looks so sad
Metroplex is better
I'm really torn on getting this one or the original vintage one. I'm cool with the battleship mode and the fan mode for the city mode, but what really has me torn is that it comes with no freaking assessories! I know you can get a gun and a master sword for him from third-party companies on eBay but what really ticks me off is that he doesn't come for radar dish and those two big red hip-mounted cannons! Time will only tell which one and I will end up purchasing. Such is life.
Till all are one.....
I agree they got lazy when it comes to the modes differentiation. But I do like this figure because like Metroplex, he's a giant canvass for customization.
