blunghole thank ya kindly , my friend. I got the Metroplex one as well. I'll prolly edit it and upload saturday. Will you be reviewing it as well ? (please, please, PLEASE say you will )
So cool! I love seeing upgrade kits for Fort Max, hes my favorite transformer. Only thing that would make this better is if the perfect effect warden was compatible with this fort max.
I was thinking the same thing...honestly, the only thing I can see being needed is a way to make the legs longer so he stands the same height as Metroplex and Fort Max. Otherwise, Im not sure what else could be added ( maybe that makeshift tank you make for g1 Tryps out of the tower/leftover parts when it is in bot mode)
the problem with the arms is that they're pinned, and it may be difficult to replace them. Different thing for the legs, since you can easliy put them out their tab, and an upgrade would be simple to make
The upgraded feet, the toes to be exact are extremely flimsy on my set, they flip and flop and pop off very easy.. I'm thinking of putting the original feet back on Cerebros
as detailed as the hands are... the slots in the palms are small. so accessories for those slots are rendered useless unless you prefer to display it bare-handed.
Robert Tiongson not true at all. you can still use his guns and Metroplexes, tho its a bit of a tight fit. I haven't tried any 3p ones yet so I cannot speak for those, but his knee guns and Metroplex guns still work (see my Metroplex hands video for further proof )..also, the fingers are tight enough to hold stuff not meant for them (like the g1 mastersword, which he has been holding, not pegged in but by the strength of his own grip for almost 7 days and there has been no sagging at all)
Robert Tiongson that sux...I'll double check my fort max hands (I already demonstrated that the metro hands can hold his guns tightly...to the point I could lift the whole bot by a gun in one hand). maybe you were unfortunate to get some defectivly molded...did you see if wherever u got them from would swap them for some that worked properly?
No! i take it back! :) it is a tight fit indeed. i just tried it again. Its a matter of inserting the peg at angle so one side inserts first. finally installed them on both titans. fits the 3P transforming plex gun and PEs fortmax gun. but the cannon gimmick on one hand doesn't work for me, seems the red paint glued the sliding action together.
I like the Superman logo on the chest plate of your Fortress Maximus
His hands! His beautiful hands! Keep up the awesome. :)
V-Revolticon I forgot to emphasis how good they feel. the quality is 200%, nice weigjt...if u have Fort max, I think these are a must have
My set is a few days away, but it's nice to set this set in action. Great review, buddy!

That would’ve been kool
I got the same hands for metroplex they are amazingly awesome really good fully articulated hands
SCOTT MACKIE if the feet are good I hope they release them I white, otherwise I'll order a second one to recolor
There's gonna be an upgrade set for Trypticon, I'm calling it right now!

How about the beefier arms of his WFC self done up in G1 colors?

where can i purchase the Upgrade kit?
Bigbadtoystore, Tfsource and most online toystores have them.

i got both for fortmax and metroplex... having trouble fitting them in mine. :( so i decided to stick with the original hands instead.

glad to hear it...except for the stuck guns...but that's a releif as I still want the 3p guns and swrd
