Autobots, transform and jingle all the way!

Peritus Maximus is a company commander, overseeing the platoon Hot Shot served in as a young warrior on Cybertron.

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 version of Ask Vector Prime.
  • 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?
