In the parallel universe of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Fortress Maximus made his return to TV screens in the west for the first time since the end of the original series. The toy itself was not actually released in the West, however, as it was unable to pass American safety tests. Known as Brave Maximus in Japan, his toy was a recolored version of the original Fortress Maximus figure, except he did not come with Gasket, Grommet or his hand-held weapons. His Headmaster component is known simply as The Emissary (Brave in Japan). The Emissary's Headmaster is Cerebros (known as Plasma in Japan), the smallest component of the toy. Interestingly, rather than being portrayed as human/Nebulon-sized in the animated series, Cerebros was the size of a normal Transformer, making Maximus particularly large compared to Generation One Fortress Maximus and the largest Transformer in history.

Famous quotes containing the words robots and/or disguise:
“The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man’s nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become “Golems,” they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“But cards are war, in disguise of a sport.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
