- Brave Maximus is an extensive redeco of Generation 1 Fortress Maximus, essentially replacing much of Fortress's lighter colors with darker ones. Due to marketing campaign concerns, Brave Maximus was never released with all of Fortress Maximus' accessories, missing his two hand guns, his head unit's sword, his own large master sword as well as Gasket and Grommet. These parts were later offered as campaign and lucky draw prizes by Takara.
- Despite this, Brave Maximus retains all of Fortress' functionality, being able to transform from his 2 foot tall robot mode to battleship mode to city mode and back again. In city mode he features a rotating radar, a jail cell, a working elevator (for small transformers), various ramps and a launching ramp that could be used with Spychangers. The back of his instruction manual features a color play map for use with other Car Robots/Robots in Disguise toys.
Trivia
- In 2002, Hasbro began to solicit a domestic US release of Brave Maximus as Robots in Disguise Fortress Maximus. However, it was later canceled due to the toy's failure of standard industry drop tests.
