- The Maximal Elders were the leaders of Cybertron during the Beast Wars era of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Japanese Name: Convoy Council
Fiction
Beast Wars
Not much is known about the Maximal Elders, including who the members are and how many exist. The Tripredacus Council is accused of kissing their skid-plates. They apparently keep a tight hold on any and all information regarding the Great War and Earth, restricting access to it from the general populance. (The Predacons conversely have no such restrictions.) They have also made the area of space around planet Earth off limits, for unknown reasons.
Beast Wars Neo
The Maximal Elders were shown as the Supreme ruling body of the Maximal faction, communing with Vector Sigma and giving orders to Generals of a Convoy ranking. The Maximal Elders assigned Big Convoy with the task of training a fresh batch of new recruits. Big Convoy was notoriously anti-social and a bit of a psycho. The Maximal Elders believed that by surrounding him with rowdy youngsters, Big Convoy might learn how to make friends.
When Unicron was reborn, he made his way back to Cybertron to settle an old score with the planet. Great Convoy, a member of the Maximal Elders, lead a Maximal armada of hundreds of warships against the Chaos God. However, they were all instantly destroyed by Unicron's fiery serpent-mode and Great Convoy was killed the battle. The fate of the other Maximal Elders is unknown.

Additional notes
Many fans assume that Magnaboss may fill the same role for the Maximals that the Tripredacus Council performs for the Predacons. Its three components' Generation 1-inspired names infers to some that these are the original Autobots in advisory roles. Indeed, in the Universe comics, Magnaboss was depicted as a member of the High Council, among others, after the reformatting of Cybertron.
