The character sheet for Titan Maximum.
Titan Force Five
Commander Palmer
The red teammate and leader of the group, Palmer is a narcissist who sees himself as the best member of the team.His ego irritates anyone close to him, particularly Gibbs, who describes Palmer as "an egomaniacal troglodyte who will let you all die a fiery hell before he shares even one iota of glory." Palmer never takes anything seriously, even in the face of danger, but he does get worried when a teammate is in trouble (like when the people of Eris tried to rape his brother or when Jodi was being arrested for treason). He is always referred to by his last name, even by close family like his brother and grandparents.
Since the original team disbanded, he has lived off his prior fame and accomplishments while drinking heavily and bar hopping. He eagerly retakes his role as leader of Titan Force Five when Gibbs emerges as a villain. He has a younger brother, Willie, and takes every opportunity to demean him, but regardless does care for his well-being. He has a habit of starting a fight with the saying, "You have something in your teeth... my fist!", followed by a slight awkward pause then an attack that isn't a punch.
Gibbs describes his fighting style as doing nothing but "hitting the A button". Ironically, despite Gibbs hatred towards Palmer, Palmer always thought of Gibbs as a friend back when they were a team; however, Palmer left him when he got captured because Palmer was trying to get to his date.
A few months later, Palmer didn't even know Gibbs was gone.
His ship forms the head and torso of Titan Maximum.
- Big Brother Bully: He’s pretty mean to Willie.
- Catchphrase: His catchphrase is "Time to punch the fuck out of it!".
- Corrupted Character Copy: To Keith from the original Voltron, being the team leader. But Palmer is arrogant and endangers others.
- Deconstructed Character Archetype: According to the show's creators, Commander Palmer is what happens when you give a teenager too much responsibility and power at that age, like in the 80s and 90s anime, he does not have the maturity to handle that leadership, and his ego got out of control. Palmer, is what The Leader would be if he were a self-absorbed Jerk Jock. He is an incompetent Jerkass who puts more lives in danger than he saves because he refuses to let anyone else get the glory and who is barely tolerated by the rest of the team for his combat skills. Palmer's bio implies that he became the leader of Titan Maximum because of his legitimate skills and accomplishments. However, Palmer's string of success has gone into his head and given him a colossal ego that depleted whatever skill and good qualities he also had.
- Everyone Has Standards: As much of a jerkass as he can be, he at least cares enough about Willie to keep him from getting raped by space hillbillies.
- Hot-Blooded: His jerky attitude fits very well considering himself being the leader of a Super Robot mecha lead man.
- Jerkass: He is a very big asshole, caring about nobody except himself.
- Jerk Jock: He represents this trope very well since he does act like a jock.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: He is shown in the show that his caring side only for his selfishness on two occasions.
- During his fight with Gibbs, he tells Gibbs that he cannot believe they were friends. Gibbs yells that they were never friends, but Palmer sadly says he was a true friend. Gibbs points out the time Palmer purposely stranded Gibbs in space because Palmer was trying to get to a date. Gibbs says that it took him two months to get home. He arrived on his birthday, which Palmer completely forgot. All Palmer says is "Wow, I said we were buddies, I never said we were married".
- At his friend Spud's funeral, he at first talks about how Spud was a great wingman, but then brags about his own sexual conquests, to the shock and disgust of Gibbs and Jodi. When Gibbs gives his own eulogy, Palmer interrupts Gibbs to generally brag about how cool he is.
- Last-Name Basis: He doesn't have an actual first name since everyone, even his grandparents, call him Palmer. Willie even called his grandpa on it, which is handwaved as Palmer "making the name his own."
- Only One Name: His only name is Palmer.
Lt. Jodi Yanarella
The quintessential "girl next door", Jodi is the bright, cheerful member of the team, reflecting her position as the yellow teammate.She is skilled in martial arts, works in many charities, and always tries to maintain a positive attitude. However, this falters around Sasha, who takes every opportunity to mock her; Jodi often finds herself incapable of gaining the upper hand in their bickering. Being the most intelligent member of the team, she finds satisfaction in being proven right while her teammates jump to conclusions.
She had a previous relationship with Gibbs, who often refers to her as "Jo Jo", but Gibbs broke up with her before switching sides, later claiming it was to protect her.
Her ship forms the right arm, even though in-story it is unheard of for a girl to pilot the right arm because of the constant so-called "training" a guy does with said arm.
- Action Girl: She acts like this when she does her martial arts then she starts to kicked ass.
- Decomposite Character: She has the pure-hearted aspects of Allura from the original Voltron.
- For the Evulz: Since she was involved with a sex tape with her & Gibbs.
- Ms. Fanservice: While she isn't smoking hot as Sasha while Sasha is more a bitch/jerkass, Jodi is a pretty hot chick, along with her sex tape with Gibbs.
- Never My Fault: When her sex tape of her & Gibbs was revealed on Mercury News 7 on Mercury while she was spending time with her grandfather, she did meet Gibbs again on Dione.
- The Un-Favourite: She is considered to be this on the team, Palmer & Sasha seem to be jerks to her mostly Sasha since both members of the last three remaining Titan Force Five team are assholes.
Lt. Junior Grade Sasha Caylo
The stuck-up sex symbol of the group, "tabloid harlot" Sasha is the black-suited member of the team.After the team disbanded, she took up singing, despite having a terrible singing voice (which others constantly remind her of). Unabashedly promiscuous, Sasha goes to clubs every night to drink and sleep with men, sometimes ending up so out of it that she cannot remember what day it is. Palmer boasts that "Sasha can find the genitals on anything that breathes" (something she is shown to be proud of). This boast comes in the form of attacking monsters in the groin, a strategy she believes is the best and only course of action. Troy commented that she "replaced her soul with a vacuous need for fame and penises."
She has a rivalry with Jodi, insulting her any chance she gets as well as prone to blame her for anything that goes wrong, always saying "look what you did, Jodi." She is very emotional, prone to outbursts for the slightest reason, such as striking a reporter over the head with a bottle for an insult, whom she then saves from a falling sign. She is the most emotional in her reaction to Gibbs' turning to evil, going into a long, angry rant filled with obscenities that Palmer eventually mutes halfway through. Her father is the president of Titan, her excesses being her way of rebelling against him.
She has also shown a sadistic side, such as repeatedly shooting a man in the knee and then stepping on it afterward, all while laughing maniacally.
Sasha's ship forms the left arm, though she is sometimes seen controlling the right, as well.
- Attention Whore: Sasha fits this trope the most as she acts like this all the time, making her a bitch.
- Decomposite Character: She has the princess aspects of Allura from the original Voltron, and none of the positive aspects.
- Jerkass: She is one of biggest assholes in the show, she is shown to be rude & crude to Jodi, blaming her & making fun her all the time, hitting, calling her "Grody" as a crude nick-name, also in the first episode & ninth episode she says this mean-sprit sentence "Look what you did, Jodi.", blaming Jodi for something she didn't do.
- Left the Background Music On: Her theme was playing when she came to the remaining members of the team in the pilot episode, her theme was playing on a radio.
- Ms. Fanservice: She is considered to be one of the hottest females in the show.
Space Seaman Willie Palmer
Willie is Palmer's younger brother, and a huge fan of Titan Maximum.Excited with the idea of being part of the team, he takes up the role of the blue team member when the team gets in trouble. Though he has played the Titan Force simulator hundreds of times, his application in handling the actual ship is poor at best, though he seems to have improved after his initial attempt. He deeply wanted the glory just like his brother.
He has an ego just like his brother, but no one takes him seriously. He is obsessed with Sasha, thinking he has a chance with her. He has a degree in robotics engineering from DeVry, which his brother mocks, and is able to repair the Titan Force Five ships in an hour. He was also able to reassemble the damaged robot on a 10 million Zurich budget, despite the original costing about fifty times that amount as well as making them better than they were before in only a two week time frame (except for the face, which he didn't have time for, though later fixes).
Willie constantly tries to win his brother's approval, in spite of Palmer's equally constant mockery. Willie is too blind to see through his brother and Sasha. He one time end up being kissed by a boy, which Willie thinks its a girl. People most of the time mistaken him as a girl, people call him Leon, or he is called a monkey.

Leon
The silent monkey janitor of Titan Force Five, Leon becomes the green team member when it becomes apparent that the remaining three Titan Force members cannot win by themselves.He is a graduate of the military Primate Training Academy, which turns out trained monkeys to work for free in positions that humans won't do or are clearly suicidal. The ever-stoic Leon never reacts to anything said to him, the only sign that he's even paying attention being a single blink or a turn of the head. Despite his seemingly emotionless expressions, he has a non-verbal wit as shown in the pilot, where he is shown to have traced "Wash Me" and "Leon Rules" on the dirty windows of the Titan ships. He helps Willie in repairing Titan Maximum, and Sasha frequently mistakes the two for one another.
His ship forms the left leg.

Chief Petty Officer "Spud" Cunningham
Spud was the original green team member and the "drug-fueled heart" or "lovable goofball" of the group.While his skills as a pilot and a warrior were lackluster, his friendly, lovable nature kept the team together despite their constant bickering, although it seems that he may have just sided by Palmer and Sasha in their antics. Some time after the disbanding, Spud died in what would be seen as a controversial death: after purchasing a large quantity of cocaine and a prostitute's services for a "Balcony Party," he fell off the exceedingly tall balcony to his death at age 27, the entire 50 second fall filmed by a camcorder he was using to film the party.
