Fiction

Pious Maximus was an outspoken opponent of the Senate's practice of Ratioism, soundly condemning it at many Cyberutopian rallies. Much to the distress of his sect, he disappeared only to release a recording months later recanting his faith in the Knights of Cybertron.

During the war, Pious Maximus was involved in the battle over the Nightmare Engine on Clemency, where Ultra Magnus led a squad to "save him from himself". The Gloaming
Notes
- Pious Maximus' color scheme is a nod to the Xantium, which is itself inspired by "Stronghold", a fan character created by Don Figueroa.[1]
