I've been toying with this notion for quite some time, and now I think I'm just gonna shut my eyes, pull the trigger and go with it.
I'd like to come up with a new name for my team's commander Maximus Prime, primarily because I'd like to dissociate him from the previous owner of the name (the older guys around here will know who I'm talking about). So, since I am creatively challenged, I am open to suggestions.
He's still got to be a Prime (that's a given), and I'd like to stick with a Roman-esqe/Greek-esqe type name if that makes any sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'd like to avoid using names of actual Roman or Greek figures, so things like Hercules or Apollo are out.
I've been inputting words I think are associated with an Autobot or a leader or a Transformer and converting them into names. Here are some of what I've come up with (just add "Prime" to the end of each one to get the actual name):
Vertorus (to transform, change, turn into)
Consurgous (to stand up, rise up, arise)
Ductorus (general, leader, commander, guide)
Rectorus (guide, leader, director, ruler, master)
Caputus (head, top, summit, chief, leader, captain)
Bellatorus (fighting man, warrior)
Vallorus (to surround, defend)
Obstorus (to oppose, defend, stand against)
Contegous (to cover, shield, protect, defend)
Servorus (to preserve, guard, protect, save)
Vindicorus (to liberate, avenge, protect, claim)
Excolorus (to honor, refine, serve)
Mactorus (to magnify, glorify, honor, slay, fight)
Adamansus (steeled, unyielding, adamant)
So, something like this is what I'm aiming for. Any other suggestions or comments are welcome.
(Just for reference, "Maximus" means greatest or largest in Latin)

Ehhh, it's not bad. To be honest, when I first read that my mind went, "Domino!" 
My only irk about it is it's kinda close to "dominate". Other than that, it's a decent name.
Any other opinions, suggestions, etc.?

What about a bit of thievery from the olympic motto?
'Citius' is a bit pants but either Altius Prime (Higher first) or Fortius Prime (Stronger first) sound pretty good to me.

Hmmmmm, I kinda like Altius Prime. It sounds a little like Altair from Assassin's Creed, who is awesome

I hadn't thought of that, I was leaning towards 'Fortius' myself with it having 'Fort' in the spelling but after your observation I reckon it's elliptical Assassin's Creed reference FTW

These are the five names I like the most, so I want y'all's opinion on which is the best. They are:

Unhelpful, I know. Take Altius as a second choice.

I like Vindicorus, but after thinking about it, it's a little long. Max-i-mus. Vin-di-cor-us. Plus, when I'm writing fics (which I need to get back to doing someday), I'm not sure what I'd shorten Vindicorus to since I'd hate to keep typing it over and over 
So, after much deliberation, Maximus Prime's new name shall be..............................Altius Prime. It's short, sounds cool, has an air of Altiar (rhyming unintended).
So yeah, thank you for watching and for y'all's input. And now for something completely different (and hopefully more important lol)
