'''Great Convoy''' is one of the higher-ranking members of the [[Maximal Elder]]s, the ruling body on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the era of the Beast Wars. He is the no-nonsense type and has little to no patience when it comes to disobedience. He also has some snazzy [[Transformer clothing|robes]].

==Fiction==
===Beast Wars Neo cartoon===
'''Voice actor:''' ''[[Masanori Tomita]] (Japan)''

Great Convoy was seen at the head of the Maximal Elders and had the final say in many decisions, including ordering the psychotically anti-social [[Big Convoy]] to mold a troop of new Maximal recruits.

When [[Unicron]] was reborn, his first goal was to settle his score with Cybertron and turn it into his new body. Great Convoy lead an armada of Maximal warriors to Cybertron's defense, however, Unicron used his fiery serpent-mode to waste the entire Maximal armada. Great Convoy was killed in the attack.

The God Gambit

81.104.131.208: /* Miscellaneous trivia */

'''[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|Generation One]] > [[Generation 1 (cartoon)#Season 2|Season 2]]'''

The Decepticons scheme to conquer a race of primitive humanoids by exploiting their religious beliefs.

==Detailed synopsis==

The episode opens with [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] chasing [[Cosmos]] through space, shooting him down where he crash-lands on [[Titan]], one of [[Saturn]]'s moons. On the surface, slaves are forced by the high priest [[Jero]] to worship a false god statue and give tribute. Rebels led by [[Talaria]] try to break this up and denounce the false god for what it is, but Cosmos' crash-landing convinces the slaves that the gods must be angry.

Astrotrain, seeing what's going on, decides to play [[wikipedia:goa'uld|Goa'uld]] and tell the people he is a god to enslave them and extract Cosmos' data tracks, in addition to mining the energy crystals of Titan. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] is not happy about playing second fiddle.

One of the rebels activates Cosmos' transceiver, and communicates with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] on Earth. [[Jazz]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] head to Titan aboard [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] (who, for some reason, runs out of fuel on a trip from Earth to Saturn, even though he can fly to Cybertron on most occasions), defeat Astrotrain, and free the enslaved people. As Jazz puts it, "We're not gods and never claimed to be".

Here's the church. Here's the steeple. Open the doors and where are the people?!

===Miscellaneous trivia===
*[[Astrotrain]] seems out of character in this episode, especially with him ordering Starscream around. It would seem that this episode ''may have'' been originally written for [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in the Astrotrain role and quickly re-written in order to feature Astrotrain (who was, not coincidentally, a new toy at the time). This would explain Starscream's deference (and apparent fear) of Astrotrain, plus Astrotrain's Megatron-esque dialogue.

* Strangely, the existence of a primitive humanoid civilization on Titan was never brought up again in official TF fiction.

* This was one of several episodes subjected to the [[MSTF]] treatment at [[BotCon 1999]].

*The Japanese title for this episode is "スカイゴッド"(''Sugoi God''), which translated literally means "''Awesome God''".

Ro-Tor (RID)

81.104.131.208: /* Trivia */

{{disambig3|Ro-Tor}}

:''Ro-Tor is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

Sneering from his place in the sky, '''Ro-Tor''' bot literally and figuratively looks down on everyone else. Smarmy and arrogant, he enjoys sniping the largely ground-based [[Autobot]]s with both words and plasma fire, almost as much as he enjoys taking a nice, hot, open-air bath with a good view. He forms half of the Decepticon [[Commando]]s' air force, though he'd probably say he's the only ''good'' part of it.

:''Japanese name'': '''Hepter'''

==Fiction==
===Robots in Disguise Cartoon===
'''Voice actor:''' [[Neil Kaplan]] (US)

===Universe===

==Toys==
===Robots in Disguise===
*'''Ro-Tor''' (Basic, 2000, 2001)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-009'''

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Generation 1]] [[Vortex]] toy, Ro-Tor transforms into a helicopter that is ambiguously a Kaman Aerospace SH-2G Super Seasprite. He has a pair of large, non-firing cannons that clip onto the back end of his copter mode, plus a pistol that becomes a nose-mounted gun. As the toy uses the [[Scramble City]] style of connection, he can form any limb to any combination of similar robots, though naturally, he normally forms a limb to the combined robot [[Ruination]].

: He was first released as part of the [[Takara]] ''Car Robots'' line in 2000. In 2001, [[Hasbro]] released the toy as part of the ''Robots in Disguise'' series. There are quite a few differences between the two versions. The Takara Hepter uses metallic blue plastic with a bright white "underbelly" paint spray, plus has the "Anti-Cybertron" mark. The Hasbro version uses a darker, matte blue plastic, drops the white, adds red arrow marks to the sides of the copter mode, plus uses the Decepticon sigil.

: This mold was also used to make [[Target Hawk]].

*'''Valdigus''' (Multi-pack, 2000)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-011'''

: In Japan, Ro-Tor/Hepter was also made available as part of a complete team multi-pack with his teammates [[Armorhide (RID)|Armorhide]], [[Mega-Octane]], [[Movor]], and [[Rollbar (RID)|Rollbar]]. All toys were identical to their individual Japanese releases, but the set only came with a bio card for the combined form.

*'''Ruination''' (Ultra, 2003)

: The entire Commando team was redecoed in various shades of gray with "urban camo" patterns as part of a Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] gift set, oddly released well after the end of the ''Robots in Disguise'' line.

===Universe===
*'''Ruination''' (Ultra, 2004)

: The entire Ruination team was redecoed ''again'' to make ''another'' Wal-Mart exclusive set, this time with a unified "desert camo" theme under the ''[[Universe]]'' banner. It came out at the same time as five ''other'' Wal-Mart ''Transformers'' exclusives, which lead to a glut. Ruination seemed a particularly slow mover in this batch.

==Trivia==
* Ro-Tor has the most He-Manny name in Transformersdom.

* Hasbro stock photography of Ro-Tor shows red paint applications on his rotor blades that are not on the final product.

* Like his previous G1 incarnation, Vortex, Ro-Tor's rotor can be removed. Only this time, it renders his name to be utterly pointless.
