- Grand Maximus is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Grand Maximus, the younger brother of Fortress Maximus, participated in the Masterforce conflict. Much like his brother, Grand Maximus' intelligence and personality were actually contained solely in his smallest component, Gran, while his Transector, Grand, functioned as a mech to boost his strength to that of a normal Transformer. Grand also possessed the ability to don a Pretender shell in order to disguise himself as a human. Gran's final and most impressive transformation is his mighty battleship, which, like his brother's, transforms into a body of immense stature while Grand himself transforms into its head.

Toys
Generation 1
- Grand Maximus (1988)
- Japanese ID number: C-311
- As a redeco of Fortress Maximus, Grand Maximus shares the title of largest Transformer toy from Generation 1. Grand Maximus transforms from robot, to city, to battleship.
- In all modes, Maximus has a wide array of pop-out (non-firing) guns and gimmicks. His left leg hides a small prison cell, plus has a swing-out cannon/helipad. His right leg has a small storage compartment. Its torso has a gear-activated spinner for the detachable radar array accessory, a "control socket" for Grand's "communcations tower" mode, and a working elevator that can lift small toys up to the central ramp to be launched in his altmodes. (The crank for this elevator ends up in a very unfortunate position in robot mode.) Each arm had a long ramp on the back with sliding launchers for small vehicles.
- Grand Maximus' head can be removed and transformed into a robot called Grand. This component also transforms into a communications room that combines with Grand Maximus' city and battleship modes. Grand can additionally fit inside an included pretender shell. This shell, unlike most other Autobot shells, was robotic in appearance rather than human. Grand's head can also be removed and transformed into a smaller robot, known as Gran.
- Two smaller vehicles, Koka and Onomus, fit into the toe areas of the Brave Maximus robot. They can combine into the robot Cog. Also included were a gun for Cog, a gun and sword for Grand, two larger guns and a larger sword for Grand Maximus, and a radar dish for Grand Maximus' battleship and city modes.
- This mold was used to make Car Robots Brave Maximus, and Robot Masters' "Cybertron Base".
