| 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.
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: Unknown
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
- Peritus Maximus was originally known by the fan-coined name "Christmas Maximus" for years, thanks to his reuse of Fortress Maximus' character model in a rather festive colour scheme. However, he was eventually given a proper name in the Facebook edifion of Ask Vector Prime.
- "Peritus" is Latin for "expert"/"skilled".
- 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. The wielder's nobility acts as a force multiplier for the Matrix Cannon's effectiveness, so let's hope Frankowski was wrong about noblesse oblige, eh?
