Transformers FOC Starscream Prototype

Several years ago, i actually had the chance to own a Universe/Classics Starscream prototype....but i missed it...this time, when i saw the Fall Of Cybertron (FOC) Starscream prototype, i had to get it!

No idea why my fascination of prototypes...but Starscream for me is a MUST-HAVE!! If only i can get my hands on a Starscream masterpiece prototype....



"Not For Sale" stamping.

Transformers Encore 23 G1 Fortress Maximus. YES!

Yes yes yes!!!!
Finally reissued. Encore 23 Fortress Maximus!
On foam tray too!! Yipee!!!!
TT probably figured that plastic trays won't work for a figure that heavy. But they could have followed the Brave Max packaging using cardboard...but foam!!! WOW!!! Really happy to see styrofoam back in Transformers packaging. I mean when was the last time?!!

The Artwork...typical vintage!!

 Looks more like a badge as they continue with the coins collection.

An extra gift that comes together with the encore...a handphone jack protector....a cast of the fortress maximus's head in DIECAST!!!

Packaging of the free gift.

THE FOAM!!!!

Instruction sheet...did not open...i know the fort inside out...and could transform him with my eyes closed.

The accessories that come in a bag.

Beauty in foam.

Top view of the battle station.



Autobot City mode...the kiddo loves this mode the best! Most play value!





Red knob to raise and lower the car elevator

This is where the car goes in and the elevator is raised.

The red rectangle button/lever, upon depressed, will push the car out and down the slope.
The radar, can be rotated using a dial at the side.
Kiddo playing with fort max immediately, bringing out all his minature toy cars.

Even Thomas and friends are parked in fort max.

One thing i noticed was that the ramp for the left hand had stress marks...its on the lever that you can use to push forward, launching the car on the red ramp forward.

Cerebros with his master sword.

With his blaster.

Spike, sitting in the city tower.

Absolutely love this! Will get to putting the stickers on, but will take abit as there are ALOT of stickers...bit lazy to really get on with it.
Apart from the stressmark on the left hand ramp, eveyrthing's cool.
TakaraTomy, bring on GRAND MAX next!!!
