    Not the first time, people wanted a smaller Combiner Wars Devastator to fit in with their other combiners. It was made, so anything is possible.

    I want an OS KO to scale. I want the Magic Square Optimus to fit in Fort Max’s palm like in Machinima’s “Titans Return”.

    Hopefully the optional Rebirth Cerebros head is included.

    Man, I'm sure dalianjj's inbox has blown up over the last 24 hours. Lol.

    I'd honestly have to agree with the size, the comics is what I remember of max and what speaks to me.
    That being said I doubt we'll ever get one in that scale, so Im kind of in on this size as a result. It could prove to be the most expensive placeholder of all time, but Im ready to roll the dice and see.

    So would I, even a Trypticon, but if anything this signals that FT is going BIG for the very large transformers.

    I hope the figure is no more than 800.00 USD total. Anymore than that and I'll have to give it more serious consideration, especially since I don't really have room for it in my display. Exciting times though to see this go through development. Seems through the development of their combiners, FT has a solution for super strong but useable joints/ratchets.

    How you guys plan on displaying this figure if you get it?

    Would need another reshuffle but I'd move Headmasters front and centre along with Movie then split S1 & 2 either side.

    Max would be headless in robot mode with Cerebros stood dead centre with the other 4 Headmasters flanking him.

    Sorry mp44 and mp36, you'll just become desert after this bad boy arrives.....with Scorponok.

    The dream is a giant diorama with him in battle ship mode squaring off with scorponock. The other headmasters riding on their respective leaders. Characters from all eras of g1 would surround them on a huge battlefield.

    Of course that dream also includes one of those giant metroplexs I posted a few pages back in battle station mode and an equally sized trypticon.....

    Same here. In fact, Fortress Maximus is my least favourite of the big 4.
    But unless I get a bigger house someday, unfortunately I can never buy one.

    I was expecting @dalianjj to come on the thread already and shed light on this figure, but i think he's enjoying the shock, awe and Panic everyone is in!

    I was trying to be nice with the speculation. Your price point seems more realistic.

    Unicron is an ugly motherfucker.

    Btw, I don't see any reason for this to be over $500,-. $600,- max, parts count and engineering are not that impressive.

    I'd guess $800-$850USD or somewhere there about.

    Not if... but when I get FT-40... straight on the floor and secured to a wall. Not going to risk him falling and breaking.

    It's not entirely necessary that the foot lays down for the spaceship mode - it'd be a little awkward if it just sat there, but not the end of the world. Alternatively, they could use the ankle tilt to rotate the feet all the way to the side or put in a mid-foot joint that essentially lets the ball of the foot rotate down to the heel
