Convoy

Convoy began his existence as Orion Pax, a worker Cybertron who admired the Destrons for their ability to fly. However, his world was shattered when, nine million years ago, Megatron attacked the energy depot where Pax worked, badly wounding him, his girlfriend Ariel and his best friend Dion. Saved by a mysterious group of Cybertrons (the time-displaced Aerialbots), Pax was taken to Alpha Trion, who rebuilt him as the first of a line of warrior Cybertrons- Convoy. He quickly proved himself one of Megatron's most persistent and implacable foes, and eventually inherited the Cybertron Matrix of Leadership, becoming supreme military commander of the Cybertrons.

Four million years ago, Convoy organized a group of his best warriors (leaving Elita-One in command) and took them on the Ark to destroy an asteroid field that threatened Seibertron. However, when their task was complete, they were ambushed by Megatron's forces aboard the Nemesis. The Ark was boarded, and the Transformers battled, causing the ship to crash into Mount St. Hilary on Earth. Badly damaged, all the Transformers aboard succumbed to stasis lock.

The years that passed were largely uneventful for Convoy and the others, save when Convoy was nearly assassinated by the future Destron Megatron. He was saved by the Cybertrons led by Optimus Primal, who temporarily took Convoy's spark into his own body while Convoy's was repaired. (It is unknown if Convoy has any recollection of this incident- he was only conscious for a brief moment after being restored.)

In 1984, a seismic tremor reactivated the Ark, which repaired the Transformers aboard and reconfigured them to have Earth vehicle modes. Thus, the Cybertron-Destron war erupted on Earth. Convoy led the Cybertrons to protect the human population from the Destrons, who sought to drain Earth's resources. Convoy forged good relations with the humans, resulting (among other things) in the construction of Cybertron City.

Unfortunately, while the situation improved on Earth, it worsened on Seibertron. Laserwave's forces had steadily gained ground in the four million years since Convoy disappeared, despite the resistance efforts of Elita-One and others. Although Convoy did come to help battle the Destrons on his homeworld, most of his efforts were centered on Earth. By 2005, the Cybertrons had been driven to Seibertron's twin moons.

In 2005 proper, Prime sent a group of Cybertrons on a supply run to Cybertron City. However, they were slain en route and their ship taken by Megatron. As Megatron's forces besieged Cybertron City, a distress signal was sent- and Convoy answered. Taking the Dinobots, Convoy attacked the Destrons, and battled Megatron in single combat. He had nearly defeated the Destron leader for good, until Hot Rodimus' well-intentioned interference allowed Megatron to strike mortal blows against Convoy. Convoy was able to inflict one final blow, winning the battle, before he fell. As he lay dying, he passed the Matrix- and leadership- to Ultra Magnus.

However, Convoy's story was not finished. After the battle with Unicron, his body and those of other fallen Cybertrons were placed in a massive funeral barge and sent adrift. It was there that the Quintessons found him. Using their technology, they placed special implants in Convoy's body to reanimated him and reactivated portions of his memory, programming him to reassume Cybertron leadership and lead his forces into a Quintesson trap. The resurrected Convoy was found by Rodimus Convoy, who happily surrendered the Matrix and command. However, Convoy attacked Hot Rodimus and company, leaving them for dead on a self-destructing funeral barge, and followed his Quintesson programming. Fortunately, the Matrix's presence helped reawaken the true Convoy. He finally returned the Matrix to Hot Rodimus, told the Cybertron forces to turn from their attack, and launched his flagship on a suicide run into the Quintesson trap. Convoy seemingly died a hero once more.

Convoy's ship and body somehow survived, to be found by the crew of the experimental Earth ship Solaris. They rescued his now-inanimate form before his ship exploded. However, Dr. Mark Morgan and Gregory Swafford, two humans who came to hate Transformers, kept Convoy hidden, only attempting to rebuild him to use as a tool of revenge. Although they planned to infect their rebuilt Convoy with hate-inducing spores and send him to destroy the other Transformers, resurrecting him was beyond their technology. Instead, they used his body as a lure to infect Cybertrons with the spores. Rodimus Convoy was able to retrieve Convoy's body, but Wreck-Gar was unable to repair Prime. In desperation, Rodimus sent Sky Lynx to find a Quintesson, hoping they would be able to fix the Cybertron leader.

As the Hate Plague created by the spores spread across the galaxy, Sky Lynx found a Quintesson and returned to Earth. Now, Convoy was the only hope for saving the universe. The Quintesson was successful in truly repairing Convoy, who led a small force of repaired Cybertrons to retrieve a spore-resistant metal stolen by Galvatron. Having done that, Convoy was coated with it, and battled an infected Rodimus Convoy to regain the Matrix. Releasing the power of the Matrix, Convoy cured the Hate Plague with a galaxy-wide infusion of wisdom. Unfortunately, the Matrix was emptied in the process.

Convoy sacrificed himself again to stabilize Vector Sigma, and Hot Rodimus became Rodimus Convoy once more. Convoy was later revived again as Star Convoy.
