>>5929764Fort max himself is a failure in many regards, qc issues of both sdcc and retail max, the fact his "city" mode is based on a failed transformation in a catalog tells me they were limited by the toy they retooled him from.
SDCC's have thinner plastic, and as an owner of that one the face on cerebros is not up to par with the legends one you've posted (its exactly what people complained about, its gummy, even that pic you posted is crisp).
And while legends fort max has a nicer overall deco package the head's deco is kinda bland, while the fortress deco as you posted while anime accurate is a snooze fest, almost akin to hasbro's blurr (and before you think I'm picking sides, sdcc's is accurate to fucking nothing and doesn't pop further than the retail one other than purple shins).
The voice clips are nicer on the legends fort max ill give it that, they just loaded the hasbro one with shitty sound effects and "CEREBROS" and "FORTRESS MAXIMUS" and so forth, what memorable lines from g1 could they of used, that raspy "FORTRESSSS, MAXIMUSSS", fuck no, and the sdcc's tf jingle is less than steller.
Really, if you want a fort max you have choices, but none are perfect, the main point stands, he fails as a retool based on a shitty compromise for a city mode.
>>5929767Watch some reviews anon, between the 2 I will give the legends has a nicer selection of clips over the generic ones the hasbro versions have
