The Amazing G1 Fortress Maximus

One of the most difficult finds for any Transformers G1 collectors is Fortress Maximus, the peace loving giant Autobot that can possibly be considered the greatest warrior in the galaxy. Fortress Maximus' head is formed by Cerebros, whos head is in turn formed by Spike Witwicky.

The G1 Fortress Maximus toy is an awesome find for any body that loves the Generation 1 Transformers series of toys. Fortress Maximus is the largest G1 Transformers toy and was also the most expensive of these toys. In fact, at $89.95, Fortress Maximus was the most expensive Transformers toy in the U.S. It was released in 1987 and the next Transformers toy that reached that price would not be available for another twenty years! This made buying Fortress Maximus difficult for most and results in an extremely rare Transformers G1 action figure.

Fortress Maximus can "transform" into several modes. He can transform to robot mode, city mode and battle station mode.
