![]() ![]() The result of their experiments was Protoform X: a hyper-aggressive mutant Bad Spark who promptly attacked both the Maximal colony Omicron Deep Metal and Starbase Rugby. Beast Wars (Part 1) Four stellar cycles prior to the disappearances of the Axalon and the Darksyde, Deep Metal Maximal scientists conducted research into Starscream's mutant spark, Possession hoping to learn more about its anomalous immortality. Beast Wars (Part 1)Īccording to Optimus Primal, peace between the Maximals and Predacons had lasted for centuries. ![]() The most significant development in regards to space travel was the invention of transwarp travel, an evolution of space bridge technology which allowed ships to travel through time as well as space. ![]() Home Soil Stasis pods, which allowed large numbers of protoforms to be safely carried through space, Beast Wars (Part 1) suggests that these expeditions were the precursors to an expansion-minded colonization program. Deep Metalĭespite this, the Maximals maintained a significant space presence, using the development of protoform and beast mode technology to explore neighboring worlds such as Regalis V without disturbing the native life forms. Under their tenure, most records relating to the Great War were sealed away, Possession and Maximals were forbidden from travelling to Earth. Master of the House The general Maximal populace of Cybertron had largely forgotten about the struggles their ancestors had faced in the Great War a state of affairs that the Elders found convenient for their purposes. The Searchīy the modern day, the Maximal government had organized itself into a democracy Chain of Command led by the Maximal Elders Possession and the High Council, Deep Metal ruling from the Council Citadel in Cybertropolis. Transmutate Optimus Primal similarly described Optimus Prime as his revered "ancestor", though whether or not these references are literal or metaphorical are anyone's guess. Master of the House Characters would occasionally reference Autobot heroes from the past as their "ancient ancestors," Possession with Rattrap mentioning his "great-aunt Arcee" on one occasion. Around this time, the Autobot capital of Iacon would have been abandoned The Search and replaced by Cybertropolis as the new central city of Cybertron. Stasis pods formed the backbone of Maximal exploration programs.Ī transitional period can be inferred from Optimus Primal's dialogue, mentioning the Great Upgrade as the specific era when the Autobot population transitioned "from Autobot to Maximal". The Maximal activation code is "Maximize". Occasionally, Maximals might choose to become insects, reptiles, or dinosaurs. When Maximals take on beast modes, they tend to select mammals, birds or fish, although this is not a hard-and-fast rule. This technology, an offshoot of earlier Pretender tech, sheathes a beast mode in an artificial organic skin, integrating its natural instincts directly into the Maximal form. The most distinctive factor of both Maximal and Predacon physiology is their development of pseudo-organic beast modes, allowing both sides to adopt alternate modes that blend in seamlessly with the organic lifeforms found elsewhere in the universe. All this said, they aren't perfect: they still have their jerks, and Maximal science has occasionally resulted in the odd unethical scientific horrors. In many ways, the Maximals share traits with their Autobot ancestors primarily a "civilian" race, the Maximals are committed to upholding the peaceful, democratic values of their forebears. The Maximals and their counterpart race the Predacons both owe their origins to the Great Upgrade, which provided the downsized, fuel-efficient bodies that became the hallmark of the successor factions. Arising from the ashes of the Great War, the Maximals are the descendants (at least in part) of the Autobots, controlling Cybertron under the Pax Cybertronia. ![]()
