The name or term "Maximus" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Maximus (disambiguation).
Peritus Maximus is an Autobot from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
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.

Fiction

Armada cartoon

Voice actor: Don Brown (English), ? (Japanese)

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]

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,[1] a non-corporeal weapon that directly taps Primus's power to purify evil.
