If this is the wrong section, please feel free to move it. I figured you guys would find this pretty interesting though.
Link
If you're not familiar with the seller, he's legit. He's known for his warehouse finds w/liokaiser giftsets misb
g1 nightbeats and chinese braver/laster cases and also sold G2 blades
and G2 Motormaster about a month or so ago.
Will be interesting to see what this fetches.

Prototype or not, I'm sure the piss coloured yellowing will put most people off from bidding.

I'd only even buy that if i was a multimillionaire and wanted one of everything. In fact, for me, it would probably be after i had 3 of everything (1 in box, one in robot mode, 1 in vehicle, plus extra ones for triplechangers etc). Its just a matter of time though. I'm bound to become a multimillionaire at some point.

You still have to think it'll go for quite a large amount though

You forgot about the extras you'll want for play and ones for display.

The Spacebridge bloke on TFW2005 reckons it's a Brave Max testshot rather than a Fort Max one.

For drop tests, I guess.
Here's his full post:
My 2 cents :
The seekers are probably reissue protos, as is the Sixshot
The Fort Max is most likely from the Brave Max era. The possible resin pieces could be either replacing damaged mold pieces or related to Hasbro's efforts to get Fort Max to pass the drop test
(Brave Max was never released in the US RID line due to it failing the drop test, basically the toy is dropped from a height and the smashed toy examined. Fort Max produced sharp knife like fragments when dropped and failed the test every time)
I know 100% that toy molds (which are HUGE) are stored with an example of what the mold produces stored with it. The same is true of packaging machines. This is how myself and other collectors have secured prototypes. This is also where the recent G2 Motormaster came from as I know the mold was examined around the same time by Hasbro & Tomy for the purpose of a upcoming release of the mold.
Typically the last thing the mold produced is left with the mold. When the RID Blugeon was released I got the Unreleased G2 Camo Megatron from the mold storage (as it was the last thing the mold produced)
So, what was the last thing all these molds produced? Re-issues and Brave Max.
Long story stort, the Fort Max IS a proto, but I don't believe it was produced in the 1980's
Either way, its a beautiful piece
Several TF protos have broken the 10k USD mark, all the been private sales away from ebay.

Rightly said! Love the "piss" reference.
