when I saw those landing arrows on his legs, I instantly thought: that is "deceptively" inviting. it just screams "land here in front of my giant twin barrel gun"
I sincerely cannot imagine a giant thing with shoulder cannons the size of legion class figures and the head literally transforming into a deluxe figure can even hope to stand up or pose in anyway
Thank you SO MUCH for showing how Fort Max connects to the Leader Class Base Modes. I swear, no one else ever BOTHERS to even attempt it. I've been DYING to see it for so long. Thanks again!
i remember seeing this video shortly after it came out, and it made me have 1 rule for collecting transformers, no titan class figures, cause i knew id never own this toy cause of ebay scalpers. today, i was able to break that rule! thank you for all the content youve made emgo, youre a real asset to the community!
There are so many secrets to this figure. I got him at release and am still finding new things. Finding out that secret transformations, alternate modes, and hidden compartments are a thing in the new transformers toys since titans returns, it would be really cool to see you do a review or special explaining in detail some of the hidden features of the figures. (Specifically fortress maximus). Love your show, keep it up!
Yep! That is one concept I really love.... I wonder if they could make it even *more* Headmaster-y? This guy is the King of Titan master/Headmasters! Also, Cerebros can slide in more in city mode. The arms weren't lined up.
i love this line so much its like their loading every gimmick that fans love ie cities and headmasters and triple changing and somehow the figures still manage to be amazing
opened up the box and checked for three pieces from the rip Spike: check Cerebros: check where the hell is the Master Sword!? no Gasket? no Gromit? Hasbro, wtf?
Looking forward to getting this Fort Max! Moms boyfriend took my G1 Fort Max to Goodwill at some point along with a bunch of my other G1 figures, so there is quite a bit of sentimental attachment to Fort Max.
emgo316 Metroplex's flip out white gun is in the Drone... the red part if steamed apart. The Leg drone I believe was meant to be Gasket if the Black Chest gun is placed on the drone. Additionally the drone has a clip piece but nothing to attach it to most likely Grommet Max's other accessory from g1 they together for Cog!
It kinda makes sense that him, and Metroplex share so much. They both turn into aautobot cities/bases. The "architecture" on each should be kinda similar.
Can't wait for the PE rifle to go up for Pre-Order. Really wish they included the big rifle at least, oh well, this is why 3p came about. One thing I've heard with the opening legs is that it can help you create more of a G1 style city mode.
Titans Return Titan Class Fortress Maximus: I am the largest Transformers toy. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Haslab Unicron: Hold my massive energon sphere......
would it have been too difficult to have the ramps going over the fists like in the G1 version? that and perhaps a way to make the legs into towers would be my only major change, great figure either way. thank you
I haven't bought a TF in a loooooong time...happy to see they went back to letting us put the stickers on...that was my favorite part of getting a new TF when I was a kid...the bigger the sticker sheet the happier I was...lol...
Well done as always, Emgo. My city in Northern California needs more TF figures like him. We barely saw figures from last year's Combiner Wars line, I might add. Looking forward to Titans Return as well.
+GøldBricks AJ in 2013 I've only ever seen him once, in toys r us for $120 in December The tape was cut and the box was best to hell but man he was worth it
Dear emgo I recently bought fort max and I have noticed some strange things such as on the right arm the wrist opens up to have a hidden compartment and that the knee blasters become guns for fort max
The reason the original g1 emissary was called Spike was because he is Spike Whitwickey from the last few episodes of the cartoon brought in target masters and headmasters which also brought in 2 new titans being Scorponok and Fortress Maximus.
That's what the soviet needed to win the cold war.... americans ruled the scene for 20 years then russian bombed Aleppo and wheel turned.... R.i.p. people of Aleppo
You CAN get Max's legs to stand vertically while he's in base mode (just not sure how stable it is) for a more G1 toy base mode. I've seen Peaugh tweet an image of it!
So with all the retooling, why didn't they fix it so the legs won't flop open? Were there bits inside the leg the workers needed to assemble it? Still want. Still want BAD!
Yean. But how does he scale with WST Optimus...... ;-) I wonder how hard would it be for someone from shapeways to make a neck adapter to allow us to use Warden...
I totally screwed up the main Autobot logo sticker on mine, the lower righthand corner...it looks really ugly considering how painstakingly I removed the stock stickers off my G1 Fort Max, thoroughly cleaned up the entire figure, and then put fresh Reprolabels on him (the Encore mind you, not the Vintage; he's really shiny now) to make him look perfect.
Brandon Coe For me, it's a matter of space. I only have 2 display areas in my house and the one that's not hosting a full Shockwave collection is not big enough for 3 titans along with my 3rd party legends collection (DX9 and Iron Factory). Plus I don't know how much space Trypticon will actually take.
Thanks a lot for the review. This really helped me! I'm looking for a Titans Return Fortress Maximus MISB for my son. Now I know i will probably get it before it gets any more expensive! Awesome piece!
Please tell me they fixed the issue with the knees where it collapsed under its own weight if so much as a feather landed on it. Main reason why I dislike the Titan scale. They had it nailed for the Unicron trilogy with huge figures, but then something happened.

Is this a quote for the shows I feel I’ve heard it before
Its from the more than meets the eye comic
@@xanderhitchcock6068 ah lol
And yet overlord fucked him up mentally so well that he started beating the crap out of any transformer that had a blue and white color scheme.
when I saw those landing arrows on his legs, I instantly thought: that is "deceptively" inviting. it just screams "land here in front of my giant twin barrel gun"
So the headmaster can have its own headmaster?!
Ultragun1220
You haven't seen Victory Saber or God Ginrai have you?
#headsception
VictorySaber_CVPI victory saber (or more accurately Star Saber) was a brain master and ginrai was a god master
Level up
I sincerely cannot imagine a giant thing with shoulder cannons the size of legion class figures and the head literally transforming into a deluxe figure can even hope to stand up or pose in anyway
Considering the speed they move in universe, it's crazy. The figures are huge.
Thank you SO MUCH for showing how Fort Max connects to the Leader Class Base Modes. I swear, no one else ever BOTHERS to even attempt it. I've been DYING to see it for so long. Thanks again!
Just got my preorder in for the second run of these dropping next year ..... who else is here for the same reason 🎉
Line is called Titans return, only 2 Titans, nailed it
3 Titans, metroplex, fort max, and trypticon
@@somerandomladontheinternet533
Metroplex wasn't officially apart of the "titans return" line though
Nice name to btw lol
@@isabelsy yeah but he is technically a titan class and thank you
I know right, kinda wish they make toys of some IDW Titans like Caminus or Vigilem.
Only need 2. Would have been wrong if it had been one. Titans = 2+
I've always wondered what Ceribros turned into before Fortress Maximus was made
Nothing, he worked hard to become a head after fort max was made
i assume a cybertronian vehicle and then was altered into a big head

wait a headmaster WITH a headmaster mind blown
megatron prime headception
IT'S AN INSEPTION PARODY
I know right
It's a Titan Titan master master
Yep! That is one concept I really love.... I wonder if they could make it even *more* Headmaster-y? This guy is the King of Titan master/Headmasters!
Also, Cerebros can slide in more in city mode. The arms weren't lined up.
Man, this guy is a BEAST! I can't wait to get mine tomorrow.
i love this line so much its like their loading every gimmick that fans love ie cities and headmasters and triple changing and somehow the figures still manage to be amazing
Sunapi Thnati o
Sunapi Thnati well I hope that this line is better than the combiner wars toy line.
I've heard the Takara version will play part of the Headmasters theme and will have voicing recorded by Fortress's Headmasters actor.
"Yeah you are!" Killed me
at least this guy doesn't have a crank on his crouch
Doesn't every guy have a crank on his crotch?
tuoche
I could of sworn when looked at it the u and o were swapped
Isn’t it touché
Thank god
25:35 his crotch turns your face into Alpha Trion 😂. Great review.
The hella pad on his leg is the cannon that Fort Max shoots trypticon with. Watch the Titans return fortress maximus vs trypticon.
opened up the box and checked for three pieces from the rip
Spike: check
Cerebros: check
where the hell is the Master Sword!?
no Gasket? no Gromit?
Hasbro, wtf?
Derrick Mitchell if you got the retail version then it doesn't come with the sword. only the SDCC and Takara
It is a head master in a headmaster in a headmaster!
After 5 years I just figured out the bottom red piece of that side turret on the leg is the shoulder piece from Metroplex.
Looking forward to getting this Fort Max! Moms boyfriend took my G1 Fort Max to Goodwill at some point along with a bunch of my other G1 figures, so there is quite a bit of sentimental attachment to Fort Max.
Fortress Maximus, brought to you by Chevrolet!
Ooh ooh say TURANSAFORM!!!!
Titans in their alt modes just look like they're either doing yoga or are dead.
1:37 "pause" your telling me that he can go faster than omega supreme,triptycon,and metroplex
yes
I find that hard to believe
Yup
@@ShockwaveLogicalEditz especially because he is supposed to be the "biggest" titan right?
The hek
emgo316 Metroplex's flip out white gun is in the Drone... the red part if steamed apart. The Leg drone I believe was meant to be Gasket if the Black Chest gun is placed on the drone. Additionally the drone has a clip piece but nothing to attach it to most likely Grommet Max's other accessory from g1 they together for Cog!
The white twin cannon on Metroplex's shoulder. The red bottom of Fort Max's drone.
I can't wait to see the comparisons in Titan Class Trypticon's review
Just ordered the reissue. Was fun to come back to Titans Return
I just finished 7th grade so I'm getting this big boy tomorrow
Brandon Rist I finished 7th grade too, but I wont get anything.... I mean, 50€ isn't that much.... But I am still happy :)
I want this toy
I'm 14 and I busted my ass saving up for him
I'm so dead with that skit!! Fortress Maximus sitting on Megatron is comedy gold.
It kinda makes sense that him, and Metroplex share so much. They both turn into aautobot cities/bases. The "architecture" on each should be kinda similar.
emgo you should do a review on your cat
Dear god yes xD
Yes!
Peter Urbanek Yessssss
Tiny Armada your awsome
Yes!!!!!!!hahahaha
Ugh, I regret not buying this guy when I saw him for $120 at Comic Con
4 years later and this gotta sting
Shooting at Fortress Maximus' finger is not gonna hurt him, just piss him off!! :D
That skit was super hilarious
Can't wait for the PE rifle to go up for Pre-Order. Really wish they included the big rifle at least, oh well, this is why 3p came about.
One thing I've heard with the opening legs is that it can help you create more of a G1 style city mode.
Amazing review bro, 2019 and still waitin' Scorponok Titan!!!!
Good news!
th-cam.com/video/vYiImiJK6HY/w-d-xo.html
You got it
One good thing is Cerebros looks just like he did in the cartoon and the comic book.
You are the best toy reviewer EVER. Keep it up.
at some point I thought you were speaking chinese... and the 31:08 mark is GOLD! LOL!
Titans Return Titan Class Fortress Maximus: I am the largest Transformers toy. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
Haslab Unicron: Hold my massive energon sphere......
Every time I watch Emgo I feel like I'm 10 years old again. It's a good feeling from simpler times. Thanks dude.
emgo, how about connecting all bases into one big city when that series ends and make a special video for it?
I just got amazingly lucky just now as I found him at Ross for 59 dollars
LuckySolshot LUCKY
holy Maximus that’s cheap
Wait that's illegal
Is it possible to learn this power?
@@logandamudkip4212 not from a decepticon
Fortress Maximus: *does a finger gun*
Cybertron: *literally explodes*
Space Battleship mode!
Imagine this... Every Titan incarnation... VS... EVERY GODZILLA.
would it have been too difficult to have the ramps going over the fists like in the G1 version? that and perhaps a way to make the legs into towers would be my only major change, great figure either way. thank you
I really agree thats like one of the only things i hate and i dont like it
I haven't bought a TF in a loooooong time...happy to see they went back to letting us put the stickers on...that was my favorite part of getting a new TF when I was a kid...the bigger the sticker sheet the happier I was...lol...
What if fortress maximus was a titan master 😂😂
For what? Cybertron/primus in robot mode? That's HUGE. Great, now I kinda want to see that, thanks
No please GOD NO!
William Sutton lol
Combiner made of Titans with Fort Max as head.
@Cody Fontanes IIRC, in Aligned the Nemesis technically IS Trypticon.
7 years later still the best ending to any toy review I've seen
I think your the only one who showed the gun can connect to his shoulder
Well done as always, Emgo. My city in Northern California needs more TF figures like him. We barely saw figures from last year's Combiner Wars line, I might add. Looking forward to Titans Return as well.
'Don't you shoot at me! Hey!"
Paul Spurgeon this is spoiler
I heard Trypticon is the next Titan.
Yeah he won a fan vote so he'll come out sometime 2017
Can't wait for that one.
Darn and I don't have metroplex could've made a Titan battle 😓
+GøldBricks AJ hope I could get my hands on fortress max before he joins metroplex being over $300
+GøldBricks AJ in 2013 I've only ever seen him once, in toys r us for $120 in December
The tape was cut and the box was best to hell but man he was worth it
I'm getting this for cristmas.
Stop making me jealous
hell yea
Lol I love that frenzy guy at the beginning everytime I watch the reviews .....great review by the way
"FORTRESS MAXIMUS!" , YEAHyouare!
Not sure if already mentioned but if you press and hold sound button down, he plays the theme tune... :-) Epic transformer and great review.
I want to see a KO jumbo metroplex
Oh goodness... It will be the size of a building
west james it would give emgo something new for a size comparison
Ssj Ichigo 👍
anything but that...that thing would be a small moon...
+Ssj Ichigo XD!!! you could actually live in it as well XD.
I have this figure and "His feet love to come undone" was a MAJOR understatement
tbh, upon seeing this, I was seriously scared to see how much he cost. I was expecting it to be way worse than the $150 he goes for
Dear emgo I recently bought fort max and I have noticed some strange things such as on the right arm the wrist opens up to have a hidden compartment and that the knee blasters become guns for fort max
Love the figure , but for the price point they could of added a sword or other weapons
Get the Takara one, there’s a massive sword which is size of i believe half his body?
after 5 years i am finally going to get him cant wait
Fortress Maximus: says his name
Emgo: yeah you are
At least the old headmasters had a little flap that covered the face
The reason the original g1 emissary was called Spike was because he is Spike Whitwickey from the last few episodes of the cartoon brought in target masters and headmasters which also brought in 2 new titans being Scorponok and Fortress Maximus.
You should get the toy hacks Versions of stickers
Emgo I figured out how to stop the guns from falling flip the handles for fort max down and it should hold it nicely and it shouldn't look weird
Just got mine today...in a box, in a box, in yet another box...yeah. He is Russian. He is Comrade Maximus.
I read that with a Russian accent. Don't judge me.
Dragon Ranger84 so did I. Lol.
That's what the soviet needed to win the cold war.... americans ruled the scene for 20 years then russian bombed Aleppo and wheel turned.... R.i.p. people of Aleppo
In america you transform fortress maximus. in Soviet russia fortress maximus trans form you
*INSERT* MOSKAU
I think you can use the red area on Fort Max's right arm as a makeshift jail cell if you want.
I wish he had more weapons
Perfect effects are releasing kits that give him guns, the master sword and new hands that have build in guns
any kits that make his base mode more like g1 fort max base mode =o
OR you can get the SDCC or Takara versions if you *MUST* get a Fortress Maximus with a Master Sword!
You CAN get Max's legs to stand vertically while he's in base mode (just not sure how stable it is) for a more G1 toy base mode. I've seen Peaugh tweet an image of it!
it's too unstable =( want something to make it stable either then cardboard =p
I love how they gave him the double head master like the g1 toy
how do you transform them so fast?👌👍🎰
After watching the short skit, now I'm thinking, why didn't Fort Max sit on Megs in the cartoons xd
hey can he transform in to the base mode of metroplex????
I don't know what you mean, but Metroplex and Fortress are 2 different Transformers.
So with all the retooling, why didn't they fix it so the legs won't flop open? Were there bits inside the leg the workers needed to assemble it? Still want. Still want BAD!
is this the largest figure to date?
Metroplex would be be the size of 2 of these
Yes
Largest official figure yes, it's only hurt buy fanstoys omega supreme
Metroplex is taller I don’t know if he’s “bigger” but he’s taller
the G1 version was actually called galen, spike was from the cartoon
Metroplex: CHECK/// Fort Max: CHECK/// Trypticon: COMING IN 2017/// Scorponok: HOPEFULLY :|
Same here man same here!
What about omega supreme?
Moar Krabs YOU FORGOT OMEGA SUPREME!
+dILemaa omega will be devastator size probaly
The Slithering Swagger a 3rd party company already made him
Yean. But how does he scale with WST Optimus...... ;-)
I wonder how hard would it be for someone from shapeways to make a neck adapter to allow us to use Warden...
Emgo, you're gonna need a bigger b... table.
+thespaceram2 and you need to get out of here with that shit. HAIL SATAN!!
This went from "You need a bigger table" to "Why don't you go long for Jesus?" Real quick
Belzibub!!!666👌
Weird thread..

Cool, but pass. I'll wait for Trypticon.
are they actually making a Trypticon
Yes. It won an internet poll some time ago. They recently released the first teasers.
Wow I thought someone made up. who aloud voting, hasbro
Mmhmmm. I'm getting both because... why not, beyond cash, right?

I can't wait for Trypticon!
Random comment that will somehow gain popularity.
Emgo,do you have fortress maximus from the 2001 rid transformers or didn't hasbro make that one?
Brave maximus
I think you're the only reviewer I've seen who has shown off those sounds in city mode.
If I remember correctly spike was the head master in the g1 rebirth three parter
I think you can store the weird gun thing in the leg since it's hollow
dude wen u get more bases u should do a skit with them connected
Fort maxes head is a double titan master.Spike(A.K.A Emmissary) as Cerebros head,and Cerebos as Fort Maxes head
Thanks a lot for the review. This really helped me! I'm looking for a Titans Return Fortress Maximus MISB for my son. Now I know i will probably get it before it gets any more expensive!
Awesome piece!
Please tell me they fixed the issue with the knees where it collapsed under its own weight if so much as a feather landed on it. Main reason why I dislike the Titan scale. They had it nailed for the Unicron trilogy with huge figures, but then something happened.
You can tell he’s insanely exited
that last bit was a nice touch
really hope this line isn't just an online thing. want it to be sold at Walmart so I could actually grab one
So do we keep the how does it scale with metroplex joke or do we revamp it to "How's it scale with Fortress Maximus"?
