Fortress Maximus

The TF every fan dreamed to own one, Fortress Maximus, finally comes back! The Encore re-issue makes everyone's dream come true! When I was a kid, I didn't even have the chance to touch a Fortress Maximus figure. Now, I can get one in my collection. You can tell my satisfaction! Hope you enjoy this little gallery.

The package is same as G1, except the Encore label and No.23

Since the box is so big, there were some damage during shipment. And I got mine from the toy store in a rainy day with heavy thunderstorm...

The memorable boxart. Where is Weirdwolf?

Haven't seen the form box for long long time! Fortress Maximus is just too heavy!

I will not apply the stickers. They will be torn off one day...

I like Encore series, which comes with old school bio card.

Cerebros

Who's this guy? A toy-only character?

Head on!

Oops!

I'm the one with all MAX ratings, Fortress!

Fortress Maximus!

Fortress Sword!

Battleship Maximus

Like all other headmasters, there is a seat in Battleship Maximus for Cerebros.

Maximus City

I forgot the radar part in the previous pics...

Though the plastic quality is not very good in this re-issue, I'm very satisfied with this Encore Fortress Maximus. There are so many diecast parts! I'm not a diecast freak, but this just tells what Chogokin is! As a toy, the battleship mode sucks. But the city mode is awesome. The gimmicks in city mode are very fun. I like the elevator and push-button start. I can understand 20 years ago, how happy the kids are when playing City Maximus with other small TFs. Robot mode is just HUGE. It is sad that I don't have enough space to set Fortress Maximus for display. He returns to the coffin and stays in my storeroom again... I'll let him out one day!
