Other Uses of Fortress Maximus
The name Fortress Maximus had been previously considered by Hasbro for the character who eventually became Omega Supreme, and again for Metroplex. The possibility of this name being applied to Metroplex was long enough in consideration that both the storyboards for The Transformers: The Movie and the Marvel Comics adaptation of the film itself refer to the city's transformed state as "Fortress Maximus."
Also, the 2000 Robots In Disguise toy Bruticus was renamed from its original name, Cerberus, to avoid confusion with Cerebros. Interestingly, the Megabolt Megatron toy, designed for Beast Machines, is of comparative size to function as a head unit for the Fortress Maximus toy. Upon carefully removing the head/ship mode's ball-jointed, spider-like legs from their sockets, Megabolt Megatron does fit into the port for Fortress Maximus's head. It should also be noted that Armada Laserbeak in camera mode can also serve as a head for a Maximus robot.

Famous quotes containing the word fortress:
“Man is exceedingly well defended against himself, against being scouted out and besieged by himself, and he is usually able to make out no more of himself than his outer fortifications. The actual fortress is inaccessible to him, even invisible, unless his friends and enemies turn traitor to him and lead him there by secret paths.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
