Autobots, transform and jingle all the way!

Peritus Maximus is a company commander, overseeing the platoon Hot Shot served in as a young warrior on Cybertron.

He believes that new recruits require a firm structure to become seasoned officers, and emphasizes mentorship and unit obedience as a result.

Since he's the size of a normal Autobot in robot mode, Peritus Maximus transforms into the world's smallest spacecruiser, or possibly a city for Penbots.

Peritus Maximus asked Hot Shot to assume a mentoring position for the gifted but inexperienced Autobot recruit Wheeljack.

Wheeljack was caught in a fire during battle and presumed killed. When Sentinel Minor threatened to convene a court martial against Hot Shot for disobeying orders and going back for him, Optimus Prime intervened and took Hot Shot under his direct command. Past

Notes

[edit]
  • Peritus Maximus was known by the fan-coined nickname "Christmas Maximus" for years, thanks to his reuse of Fortress Maximus's character model in a rather festive colour scheme. However, he was eventually given a proper name in the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime. Peritus is Latin for "skillful".
  • It's possible that Peritus Maximus has been deemed worthy of wielding the Matrix Cannon,<ref>23 March 2007 'Matrix Cannon' Mini-Con profile on a now-defunct version of the TFCC website.</ref> a non-corporeal weapon that directly taps Primus's power to purify evil.
