Optimus Maximus is an Autobot combiner from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family. The mighty Optimus Maximus was Prowl's last-ditch attempt to protect the world of Caminus—and perhaps the entire galaxy—from Starscream's political machinations. Every Autobot involved in the combination process brings some of their own unique traits to the composite individual that is Optimus Maximus – the dependability of Ironhide, the strategic genius of Prowl, Mirage's cloaking powers, the courage of Optimus Prime and Sunstreaker's good looks.
History[]
After Prowl's first two attempts at stopping Starscream ended in his arrest, he fell back on his contingency plan: roping Rattrap into stealing the Enigma of Combination and delivering it to his cell—just as Ironhide, Mirage, and Sunstreaker arrived to meet with Optimus Prime.
Although Optimus tried to stop Rattrap, he activated the Enigma. The five Autobots were exposed to its energy, merging them into a new, combined form. With Prowl in control, the new combiner headed through the unstable space bridge portal, vowing to end the conflict once and for all.
Notes[]
- Optimus Maximus is inspired by the following:
- The Generation One Season Two episode Masquerade, where Optimus Prime and four other Autobots went undercover as the Stunticons two foil Megatron's latest scheme.
- The Combiner Wars toys of The Stunticons.
- The name Maximus comes from the Maximus combiners from the series Transformers Energon.
- He's also based on Optimus Prime's Super Mode from the same series.
