Went one step I went further into curiosity and came up with this....I don't think I have the hart to dismantle it. I put metroplex into base mode but kept his shins un split and ran his leg ramps out. Next you get fort max into a mode where his forearms run behind his shoulders and hands are up in the air kinda. The hardest part was separating forts legs from the left over gimmick from metroplex but...they seem to have glued the posts together so it was bruit force with a cuppa tea! The rest you can see. I used TFC-009 Gear of War 3 (Their version of Six Gun) to add more effect with some mini cons and magic! Also have some pics if you don't have metroplex and want a good base mode for fort max.
While admitting I'm having a little visual trouble understanding what's happening here, it does look neat. Getting close to that full fledged Autobot city I always wanted!
Get metroplex in base mode, open his shins and lay out the runways / flight strips. Next put fort max in base mode and make him do the splits and then open his shins the same way you did for metroplex. Place him on top of metroplex's lap and bobs your uncle
that's so cool.....it's like fort max stopped short and metroplex ran into him and now we have a superbase
Thanks, my logic was well when we have tripticon, he will have the big spike so could be a running trait for city formers to have some sort of super tower. With the whole leg split coming off the side I thought of scorpinoks base mode and so I just fiddled about (1 hour later) and came up with this. Made a few modes but this was my favourite
