Notes
[edit]- Zarak Maximus was not named for decades, being known only as the "Giant Destron Soldier" (巨大デストロン兵士 Kyodai Destron Heishi) per Transformers Generations. He was christened by the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime.
- His model appears to be a frankensteining of several extant characters with details altered; his feet seem to derive from the Autobot Headmaster Fortress Maximus, his torso and forearms possibly from Cerebros (although to be fair, they are rather generic), while his head, shins, and colors are generally reminiscent of the Decepticon Headmaster Scorponok.
