There is no greater scourge of the seas than '''[[Octopunch (G1)|Octopunch]]'''. Though plundering the depths for forgotten treasure is well-suited to his expertise, his real love is the terror he can bring to those who breach his territory.  There is no cruise ship so large that he can't find an appropriately-sized iceberg to push in its path.  The thought of bringing its hull beneath the waves with his slimy tentacles is what sustains him in his private moments.
Despite his great power, size, and rank, '''Fortress Maximus''' is a weary and reluctant warrior. Fighting is against his pacifist nature, even for the most noble of causes. Over time, the endless conflict on Cybertron has worn him down, to the point that he's willing to walk away from the war entirely to preserve himself and his ideals.


And unlike other robots with [[Scavenger (G1)|similar]] [[Nautilator|functions]], Octopunch is very good at what he does.  While in his [[Pretender]] shell underwater, his strength expands several fold, and his electrically-charged, razor-tipped harpoon gun can stop anything in its tracks.  Though often seen with fellow [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] members [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and [[Stranglehold]], Octopunch is a fearsome warrior in his own right, either above or beneath the waves.
Fortress Maximus is big. ''How'' big generally depends on the universe, but often as not he's binary-bonded to a smaller robot named [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] who forms his head; Cerebros's own head is formed by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]].


His only weakness is his overconfidence in his abilities.  It may seem like a small one, but get back to us on this after he [[Primal Scream|shoots God in the face]].

Despite his great power, size, and rank, Fortress Maximus is a weary and reluctant warrior. Fighting is against his pacifist nature, even for the most noble of causes. Over time, the endless conflict on Cybertron has worn him down, to the point that he's willing to walk away from the war entirely to preserve himself and his ideals.

Fortress Maximus is big. How big generally depends on the universe, but often as not he's binary-bonded to a smaller robot named Cerebros who forms his head; Cerebros's own head is formed by Spike.
