1987 Newspaper Article and Fortress Maximus Misinformation
As I already mentioned, Hasbro’s Titans Return Fortress Maximus (find at Amazon.com*) is now out in the wild. It’s a beast of toy, but if the information in this 1987 newspaper article was accurate then Hasbro would be a long way from making a larger toy than the original Fortress Maximus. You see, the article states that Fortress Maximus is “a 4-foot Transformer” which is way off. Now I’m trying to imagine a kid transforming the Fortress Maximus design if the toy really stood 4-feet tall.
