Four other Autobots also resorted to this grotesque stunt before Galen, head of the Nebulan World Watchers, was convinced they weren't a threat.

When that didn't work, he did the next logical thing and pulled his head off. Gathering ten of his followers, he marched up to the Nebulan capital of Koraja, begged to be heard out, and had his group discard their weapons. Faced with a newly hostile enemy, Fortress Maximus resolved to wage peace, not war. Despite complaints from the likes of Kup, Maximus ordered them not to fight back as they retreated into the woods. When Maximus sent Blurr as an emissary to meet with the Council of Peers in Koraja, reactionary elements among the Nebulan leadership sabotaged Blurr's goodwill message and incited their fellow Nebulans to arms. Although initially stunned by this decision, the Autobots agreed to follow him together, they constructed the starship Steelhaven, and set off for Nebulos.Īfter parking the Steelhaven in orbit and establishing a temporary base camp, Fortress Maximus sent Highbrow to make contact to the Nebulan natives unfortunately, however, an accident led made it appear that the Autobots came with hostile intent. Though the Autobots emerged triumphant, an embittered Maximus stunned the jubilant Autobots when he told the that he would abandon the war for good and travel to the bucolic planet Nebulos. When Scorponok's men destroyed another Autobot city, Fortress Maximus and his men ambushed and easily overwhelmed the Decepticon commandos as they marched their prisoners toward the smelting pools.
