Halonix Maximus was a powerful Cybertronian of great renown who lived during the Age of the Firstforged. His various feats included constructing Crystal City alongside Solomus and Alchemist Prime, A Dust of Crystals fighting Preditron in the Cybertronian hinterlands, Tremors battling Gaidora and her turbofox pack alongside Big Bang, End of Time and drilling into the Great Lair of the turbofoxes with Zarak Maximus to save Solomus.

Notes

[edit]
  • Hound's hologram robot did not receive a name for its appearance in The Transformers cartoon, but was designated "Giant Autobot" in the scripts and storyboards. The giant Autobot hologram was turned into a character and named decades later in the Wings Universe stories.
  • Despite then having only appeared once in fiction, the giant Autobot was immortalized in super deformed glory as part of a large illustration of the entire cast of the cartoon, drawn by Hidetsugu Yoshioka for Pioneer's [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}LaserDisc|{{#if:||LaserDisc}}]] release of the cartoon in Japan. That's him on the extreme right, looking very much like a last-minute addition to the image.
