The long-standing mystery of Scorponok's weak spot first arose, naturally, in " Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!". Tied into this, in both " Fight to the Death on Planet Hive!!" and " Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship", Scorponok took slashes to the chest and immediately retreated from battle. Now we know why: because his weak spot had been hit! https://cdn.shopify.com/videos/c/vp/8e9c4352f8864916bec613665049c903/8e9c4352f8864916bec613665049c903.HD-720p-3.0Mbps-18327928.mp4

In Viron 102.0 Beta, Galvatron, having been upgraded into "Megatron Megabolt", gained control of Fortress Maximus, the Autobots' secret defense base. However, Optimus Prime, with the aid of Optimus Primal the Protector, eventually emerged victorious over Megabolt Maximus. Megatron Megabolt toy bio Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/30 Shell Game continuity Fortress Maximus is big. How big generally depends on the universe, but in many realities Fortress Maximus is a unique three-part Headmaster—Fortress Maximus is binary-bonded to a smaller robot named Cerebros, who forms his head; Cerebros's own head is formed by either a binary-bonded organic or the Titan Master Emissary. In other universes, these three stages are simply expressions of the same being, Fortress, who becomes Fortress Maximus in his largest form. He also has a smaller component robot known as Cog. This huge triple-changing Transformers Fortress Maximus figure converts between 3 modes: robot to battle station in 11 steps to Autobot City in 4 steps! When Cerebros got wind of the Human Confederacy's Eutychus Project, he asked them to resurrect his former human partners, but they refused and gave him the energon matrix instead. To control an ancient race of giant city-sized warriors called Titans, the Autobots and Decepticons must power up with Titan Masters, smaller bots that give bigger bots increased abilities. Unite and power up for battle with one of the last remaining Titans in the universe, Fortress Maximus!Why Fortress is unable to draw the Master Sword at first is not explained in this episode. The situation repeats itself in the next episode, where the answer is given—to use the sword's power, his physical and mental energies must be in complete harmony. In the next episode, a cry for help from Chromedome is what galvanizes Fortress, synchronizing his energies — presumably, then, it is the calls for help from the Headmasters in this episode that allow him to draw the sword after his first failure. Optimus may have later been part of Omega Prime, who worked with Fortress Maximus to put an end to the universe-consumption campaign of Unicron, a warlord who had united his consciousness with Planet X. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/28 The first Car Robots catalog also stated that Fire Convoy and Gigatron were once " childhood friends" that became eternal rivals. We don't really have any idea how that was supposed to work.

The 5 mm pegs on his guns are trimmed on the side, and consequently don't fit securely into his hands or the 5 mm ports on other figures; the optimal position for them is on Cog's forearms, as is demonstrated in the above image. Additionally, most of the pegholes featured on Cog's body are in fact hexagonal as opposed to circular, which combined with the trimmed circles leaves them unable to stay positioned properly. A running change solved this problem by slightly altering the shape of the handles to make them rounder; this change was retained in later versions of the mold.Fortress Maximus later attended a farewell party for the decommissioned Lost Light in Swerve's bar, where he apologized to the Scavengers for attempting to kill them. Misfire couldn't help but admire his leg guns. How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2 The Japanese book Transformers Generations contains concept art for an unmade Action Master version of Metroplex. Hell yeah, happy to see this reissued! I wasn’t able to get Fort Max the first time around, so I’m looking forward to this. After rescuing Optimus Prime from certain doom, Fortress Maximus arrives to fight Trypticon. Elsewhere on the battlefield, Windblade forces Megatron to choose a side once and for all. Will Perceptor's dangerous plan work or will life on Cybertron cease to exist once and for all?

Later, Buster was found in the Arctic due to a distress signal. Cerebros was once again seen when Spike transformed from Fortress Maximus's head to Cerebros and again to Spike's binary-bonded suit to show Buster that he was his brother. Dark Star Once Buster was retrieved and home safe, Spike saw no reason to continue his campaign with the Autobots, and so he tried to return to his previous life. Unfortunately, Decepticons came looking for him, and Spike had to telepathically call on the power of Fortress Maximus's body from space. Cerebros was very (very) briefly seen as Spike transformed into Fortress Maximus's head. The Man in the Machine!

You ever watched Power Rangers? No. Ninja Turtles? No. Sailor Moon? No. Beetleborgs? No. VR Troopers? No. Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad? No."

You'd think that Spike, a man that's been around Transformers and their battles for 27 years now, would know better than to walk in the middle of a fight between any two of them, let alone ones as big as Trypticon and Metroplex, but apparently not. Especially stupid as all he says is 'look out'. Yeah, very helpful there, Spike.
