    That was the major point of this exclusive is with Crossfire from Fansproject, a lot of people's "Classics" shelving now has an Onslaught mold with no home (cause ROTF Bruticus' Onslaught fills that gap). So we have this nice TALL BIG mold that towers over most Classics toys........ and thus we have the legendary Fortress Maximus for your Classics shelving.

    Get ready people.

    It's a cool idea Protoman! Props for creativity! I'm having a hard time visualizing Onslaught as Fort Max. Looking forward to pics.

    Sounds like a lot of planning went into it Protoman, can't wait to see the final product.

    Well, if someone and their buddy up north are going and don't have Onslaughts (or if someone wants to have a second one to trade/sell at the convention), I would be willing to swap two Onslaughts shipped for one head shipped down here.

    I do suggest finding Onslaughts asap before the scalpers and just regular sellers get wind of this..... we don't need another Rodimus/Protector problem (While I doubt it will be THAT bad)

    Also check out tfcon.ca, under the teaser image for another little tease....

    This is pretty awesome and smart idea to use the Onslaught mold. I've got to get another one, I turned mine into a Wing of Honor version.

    I agreee GC i want this soooooo bad. Why make Fort max an exclusive? Of all characters. Dammit i would really love this set :cry  Unless they are planning a genral release however i dont think they would get reprolabels in for that would they? Also it seems odd they are going with a cerbros type head desighn rather that FM himself perhaps the face is interchangeable or something.

    That's cool and all, but when are we gonna see the IDW HardHead mold? Or the Bludgeon mold? And what about the Whirl mold that I had to pay in advance for, hmm? I don't want to come of as an ungreatful jerk, I just wanna know whats up is all.

    I think I will grab three of these sets at the con since I have three universe onslaughts. Fort max, brave Max and Grand Max will be towering over my classics.

    Awesomeness on a stick! After passing on the past 2 TFCon exclusives (never cared for Powered Commander, and Nightbird was waaay too pricey with all those QC issues) this will definitely be bought!

    And so the hunt begins for another Universe Onslaught!
