- Christmas Maximus is an unnamed Autobot from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
"Christmas 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, Christmas Maximus transforms into the world's smallest spacecruiser, or possibly a city for Penbots.
Fiction
Armada cartoon
Christmas 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 an arrogant Autobot officer 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, Part 1
Trivia
- "Christmas Maximus," of course, is a fan-coined name for this red and green Fortress Maximus model generic.
- It's possible that Christmas Maximus has been deemed worthy of wielding the Matrix Cannon<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>, a non-corporeal weapon that directly taps Primus's power to purify evil. The wielder's nobility acts as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/force_multiplier" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:force_multiplier">force multiplier</a> for the Matrix Cannon's effectiveness, so let's hope <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Frankowski" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Leo_Frankowski">Frankowski</a> was wrong about noblesse oblige, eh?
