Fortress Maximus is best known for being one of the largest and most powerful Autobots, yet his reputation masks something more complicated: he's fundamentally a pacifist who never wanted to fight in the first place. Despite his rank and capabilities, combat goes against everything he believes in. The endless war on Cybertron has simply exhausted him—not just physically, but spiritually. At a certain point, he reaches a breaking point where preserving his own ideals matters more than staying in the fight, making him willing to walk away from the entire conflict if it means holding onto his principles.
