Talk:Fortress Maximus (G1)
"Sadly, Galen's first view of view was also his last." Could someone rephrase that so it makes sense? 68.190.81.14 20:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Much of the entry for Fort Max's Marvel section don't involve Fort Max much at all, and reads more like an extended summary of the first Headmasters comic issue. This should definitely be pared down. --ItsWalky 20:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Personally, I think it looks fine. After all, most of Fortress Maximus's character development was in the Headmasters mini-series, so naturally most of the info on the page would come from there. - Dark T Zeratul 21:18, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- The CURRENT entry in his Marvel Comics section is fine. The old entry on the wrong page, which is now at Ring of Hate!, is more of a page-by-page summary of the comic, and not a good Fortress Maximus Marvel Comics entry, as it digresses too much into things other characters are doing. --ItsWalky 21:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Too many Personalities.
The opening paragraph here, which is supposed to be continuity free, really only applies to Marvel comic (and maybe DW a little) Fort Max. As he has several distinct incarnations: Mindless Big-Smashy-thing (Cartoon), Warrior for Peace (Comic) and Confident starship commander and super-hero (Japanese. Should he not get an abbreviated first paragraph and one of those "He different in different places" notes like Blaster and Chromedome have? Yes?
- I think all versions of Fort Max, in some way, 'checked out' out the war. Marverl left for Nebulos, Dreamwave shut down, Headmasters led a colony to leave the war-town Cybertron... that's the constant core for Fort Max's character in all continuities- he's a cut-and-run Democrat.-Derik 16:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
"Impenetrable fortress"
I'm a bit puzzled by the description of Fort Max's toy. Here are his US instructions - there's no mention an "impenetrable fortress" mode, and the "battle station" mode they describe is how he appeared in starship mode in the Headmasters anime. Did the Japanese instructions present a different transformation for the starship that the cartoon didn't use, or something? - Chris McFeely 19:47, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Japanese names
I'm wanting to add a note that in Japan, the "Spike" figure was renamed "Cerebros", but don't know where to put it.
Also, can somebody who can read Japanese tell me if the specs have the Headmaster partners as the actual Transformer or a partner? I ask because in the Japanese boxes and instructions, the headmaster figures have the same names (or close enough) as the Hasbro releases.

Uh, yea the Headmaster's names are just wierd like that, some are changed to shortened versions of their Transecter's names but not all. Spike=Cerebros Stylor=Chrome Duros=Ros Gort=Gorter Arcana=Carna Lord Zarak=Scorponok Grax=Grax Monzo=Monzo Vorath=Vorath Spasma=Spasma Krunk=Krunk
IIRC When they weren't Bonded with their Transector in the Cartoon, they still went by it's name instead of their own, but I'm to 100% sure.
