    I'd pay $250 for one. That's fair. But that is a lucky find on your part. Everywhere I look the going rate is double. Oh well. Happy for you friend. :)

    if that wasn't lucky enough the long sold out Toyhax Labels for him just dropped. So I'm very close to having the TR Fort Max I had before. just need that DNA DK-02 (I think it is.) for him now.

    Weird question: I want to place a 3D Autobot symbol atop the sticker on Fort Max's abdomen; does such a thing exist at the proper scale? I had my Fort Max repainted, and a replacement sticker had to be utilized, but it's slightly undersized and too reflective; I'd like something three-dimensional and non-shiny, if possible.

    I bought a cheap keychain from eBay, but its symbol is too large; I could cover the recessed Autobot symbol-shaped cavity completely and then some, but the symbol looks perhaps too prominent at that size.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Just FYI, unless Toyhax have altered/upgraded their 3D Bot badges the largest on the sheet is just under 2cm x 2cm in rough area (it's listed as "1 @ 18mm in height") so even the largest is too small to properly fill the moulded abdomen Autobrand space on Fort Max, I found out as I had the same idea as you.
    I actually tried getting a pair of the metal OS Autobrands for the OSKO MP Optimus Prime trailer and they were also not quite big enough IIRC.

    Ah, pity. Thank you saving me some money, at least! Since I'm using my Fort Max in a TMNT context, maybe I can cover the cavity completely with something not TF-themed.

    Last year, I picked up a custom painted Fort Max for display, and I love it! Yesterday was the first time I popped off his head, and turned the head into a robot, then popped his head off and turned him into a robot too :)  Man, that was fun! A lot better than just sitting there.

    Question: Is there a way to get Warden to fit on this guy? Or is that a no go?

    Not as far as I'm aware, possibly because with Warden being Voyager-ish, and Cerebros being a tall Deluxe that might lead to a comically Megacephalic-looking Max?
    Looks like someone did...

    And the results are, uh...a bit Master Made-ish?
    Definitely not for me, it could almost be a Bobblehead!

    Well i have a problem. I lost the entire head for Fortmax? Poor cerebros was on the back of my truck as we were moving my stuff to the storage. Absent mindedness sucks especially when your'e tired after a full day of moving

    I'd hunt around on ebay and the Junkion exchange. you are likely to find a replacement. ;)

    Ebay is charging usually an arm or a leg when it comes up. I'm also looking for cerebros parts along with some fort max parts that didn't come with mine. It's a hassle.
