<br />
'''Pepsi Convoy''' has but one mission—to bring cool, refreshing carbonated beverages to the thirsty sentients across the galaxy. With his powerful [[CO2 gun]], fueled by the massive [[Bottle Station]], even the mightiest of thirsts shall be quenched!<br />
<br />
He is made of a special sample of "[[sentient metal]]" originally developed by NASA that was entrusted to the [[Autobot]]s. This same metal makes up the mysterious thirst-quenching "superhero" known to one and all as Pepsiman. It is unknown if Pepsi Convoy shares other traits with Pepsiman, namely a good running speed, nigh-invulnerability, near-muteness, and rather poor luck.<br />

<br />
After [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] crashlanded in [[Tokyo]], devastating the city, Japanese opinion of all Transformers (even [[Autobot]]s) began to become violently negative. To help the people of Tokyo, and to improve Autobot publicity, an unknown Autobot took on the form of Pepsi Convoy. With his new Pepsi-related powers, Pepsi Convoy made it his goal to soothe the thirst of the disheveled people of Tokyo. {{storylink|Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)#2005a|Kiss Players timeline}}<br />

: Pepsi Convoy is a new-trailer [[redeco]] of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Optimus Prime toy]], inspired by the 1985 special version of Optimus that came with bonus Pepsi decals for his trailer in the North American market. He transforms into a late 1970s Freightliner FL86 Cab-over-Engine triple-axle semi trailer truck. The windscreen section can open to reveal ultimately-unused chairs that were originally designed for ''[[Diaclone]]'' driver figures. This release has several new Pepsi-themed paint masks and decals, as well as an entirely new "Bottle Station" (get it?) trailer unit, specially designed to carry a single 500ml-size bottle (a common size in Japan), three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). Pepsi Convoy's fists and rifle store on the Station's underside when he's in vehicle mode.<br />
<br />
: This toy was slightly altered to make the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PepsiPrime2007|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]".<br />

==Notes==<br />
* The final bio for Pepsi Convoy does not contain the ''direct'', named reference to Pepsiman originally written by author [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]], but still mentions the "sentient metal" that is the basis of Pepsiman's origin.<br />
* This is not the only overt PepsiCo crossover with Transformers... check out the [[Mountain Dew Robot]]s. Pepsi Convoy totally needs to hang out with [[Dispensor]].<br />
* He is the choice of a new generation <br />
