Liege Maximo is a major antagonist in the Transformers franchise. He's depicted as the patriarch of the Decepticons, ruler of the Cybertronian Empire and the overarching antagonist of the comic book series, Transformers: Generation 2.

He sits in the Hub, a network of planetoids located in the fringes of Outer Space.

History[]

Liege Maximo was the original creator of the Decepticons, and the direct ancestor of Megatron. At some point after their creation, the Second Generation Transfomers entered into service for him.

When the battle between the Autobot-Decepticon Alliance and the Cybertronian Empire started spiraling out of control, Rook contacted the Liege Maximo to let him know what was happening.

After the remaining crew members aboard the Twilight retreated to the Hub, Rook reported to the Liege Maximo that they had lost seventeen battalions and that Jhiaxus was most likely dead. The Liege Maximo was not too concerned, stating that they were only a fraction of his army and that the "day of reckoning" would come.

Alignment[]

Liege Maximo destroy

in the non-canon novel Alignment, Liege Maximo was revealed to be one of the Thirteen original Primes. Liege Maximo came to an understanding that its destiny is not set by Primus by itself, and saw a grander purpose. Shunning Primus' light to embrace his own darkness to be the self-appointed evil "keeping the balance between good and evil", Liege Maximo sought to be a god of his own right, one rivalling or even eclipsing Primus' might. With this, wanting to keep its divinity and keep much of Primus' essence within him, while the others had subdivided and thus diluted Primus' essence within them, the Liege did so selectively and thus, the few offspring it had were tainted by its evil, and then formed Megatron and the Decepticons, which lead to the entire Transformers race decimated by war and end up bringing misery to other planets beyond like Earth while he sat and observed from afar

The Liege Maximo found out a way to finally ascend to godhood. Learning about the existence of another realm, the realm of the gods, by opening a portal there during the alignment of certain stars that is a once-in-the-lifetime occurrence, he can finally become a god right, but will result in the annihilation of his home universe much to his apathy. To prepare, he contacts Jhiaxus and appoints him Liege Centuro to form the Cybertronian Empire, an empire built on the mechaforming of numerous planets to create the Hub, a vast network of interconnected planets the size of an entire galaxy or two. And with the Hub, he shall create the universal-ending portal to ascend to godhood. A 100 years after the defeat of Jhiaxus and the Swarm, Grimlock searching for energon when the war left the Autobots in a huge energy crisis. The Liege intercepts the ship and orders it destroyed. Believing that the Transformer race will end up becoming a problem, the Liege orders legions to wipe them all out entirely to the last man, seeing thousands of soldiers killed on both Autobot and Decepticon side. Grimlock had survived and informed everyone on the Liege's plans, wanting to put an end to this.

When the Autobots and Decepticons end up destroying the fleet sent to kill them all, the Liege refocuses its efforts on the alignment that has just begun. with this, it harvests the sparks of millions of his own men to power the portal and create it, leading to the current universe being destroyed. Grimlock then attacks the Liege to stop its ascension, but only delayed it for a few seconds before Grimlock was disintegrated to death. Grimlock's sacrifice however gave everyone an idea for everyone to make small distractions against the Liege as a result will lead to the Alignment passing over. The Liege then has its remaining troops hunt down the saboteurs leaving Swoop the sole survivor while Perceptor, Blaster & Springer are all dead. Luckily the Autobots and Decepticons joined forces to launch a full-assault on the Liege. Megatron then manages to blast a severe wound on the Liege before being promptly killed by his ancestor. Its physical body being too battered, its separates to a spiritual form to enter the portal and complete its ascension, but Swoop then performs a final act of sabotage that has the entire Hub network collapse, and his body already destroyed by the armada, the Liege had nowhere else to go, and thus his essence dissipated.

Triva[]

  • The "Liege" part of Maximo's was most likely originally intended to be a title, but later fiction depicts it as his full name.
  • Liege Maximo was first identified as one of the Thirteen Primes in Alignment, which would be featured in official fiction such as the Aligned Universe and IDW's comics, and as a result, was considered a Multiversal Singularity, in which all versions of Liege Maximo in Transformers history are the same character. However, as a result of the Shrouding, the multiversal singularities as a concept ceased to exist and every version became their own separate character.
