    Yes just to make it the biggest and coolest tf ever. This will surely stand out more than any other, if a third party company made it. I mean people are already paying 600 to 700 for a toy. Why not push it to make a bigger higher costing rare toy? It would be really cool to see what happens. Im sure some hardcore collectors will buy it.

    most of my transformers are just for display and i don't transform them anymore. if this ko transforms, maybe another company can make a 2 ft superposable nontransformable inexpensive fort max.

    I hope this is legit, even if it is a KO. Under 400.00 would be doable but the high price regardless of just how high is may limit the number of them made. We could be looking at another grail item, just for this reason alone.

    I want one and I am going to get one.

    Most likely G1 KO that has been long time coming. But I can't help but imagine how awesome it would be to see a classics/henkei fortmax with modern articulations. Hell I could live with a leader size or just under fairly easy.

    HOPEFULLY this will come out around tax refund time next year... Yes....

    I want Fort Max for the color scheme, and Grand Max for the Pretender shell.... So the PERFECT solution is to have a replica of Fort Max that includes a color matched Pretender shell for Cerebros! :D

    $400? That's absurd.

    Yeah, they make the good ones you can afford.

    I mean my God these things are amazingly expensive. At what point will 3rd Party companies realise that most people don't actually have that kind of money to spend.

    Plus I had no idea Fort Max was apparently in such grossly high demand these days.

    why can't we just get a Fort Max with articulation? I don't even need the smaller head, just a city mode, the combat mode and robot mode

    If whoever is making this does a good job on this, I will buy it. Always wanted a Fort Max but never felt like knocking some women up and selling my first-born for one.

    Well considering the real Hasbro Fort Maxes are worth somewhere around $1000 complete and in good condition, I think that's pretty much the reason the KO's have this market, especially since it looks like Hasbro will never ever release one stateside due to the droptest standards.
