			== Notes for his bio ==

			I'm putting this here so it doesn't get lost to time: Doug Dlin's translation for Pepsi Convoy's bio and the original version of it:

			A while back, Hirofumi Ichikawa was asked to do some minimal write-up
			for the Pepsi Convoy toy that recently came out, with Fumihiko-san
			helping as usual with historical material. He asked me to provide some
			English snippets for the packaging (only some of which made it intact,
			I've found) and, just in case, a translation of the bio and historical
			material for the toy. (So yes, Sipher, once again, you can blame
			Ichikawa-san for inciting you to buy a reissue by making it a new
			character. :-) )

			Since this variant was not an e-Hobby exclusive, it was handled by a
			different person than his usual contact, so things developed differently
			than usual and even without his knowledge (e.g., the translation of the
			toy description posted on e-Hobby's site).

			So, for all of you dying to know the full story (that's...two of you, I
			think), here it is:

			----------------------------------------

			[Card Info] (Code number is temporary)

			CP-01 AUTOBOT Pepsi Convoy
			Function...Campaign Commander
			Transformation...Pepsi Tanker Truck
			Abilities...Splits into two powerful machines.
			Pepsi Prime is a warrior equipped with fierce strength and a soda gun.
			The Bottle Station is a mobile headquarters that carries large cola
			bottles and related goods.
			Profile...In the hands of the Autobot forces, the "living metal"
			developed by NASA that once created the mysterious hero Pepsiman has now
			been given the form of their legendary commander. He loves freedom,
			peace, and the refreshing sensation of Pepsi, and considers it his
			mission to cure people's thirst.
			Weapon(s)...CO2 Soda Gun

			STR......10
			INT......10
			SPD......8
			END......10
			RNK......9
			CRG......10
			FRP......3
			SKL......10
			TOT......70

			(NB: The "living metal" material is taken from Pepsiman's official
			background info. However, the phrase "that once created the mysterious
			hero Pepsiman" ended up being omitted in the final version.)
			---------
			Pepsi Prime is...
			Pepsi Prime is a hero born of a collaboration between Transformers and
			Pepsi. This is the second time this has happened in the history of the
			toys. The first time was in America in 1985*, when it debuted as a
			domestic promo campaign item. The product had a Pepsi logo label sheet
			attached to a regular version of the packaging, and you completed it by
			pasting the two optional stickers onto the sides of the trailer.
			(Besides the version pictured, there is also a "Canada version" of the
			larger sticker.) '80s America saw an unprecedented TF boom. There were
			even TV commercials depicting vending machines for Pepsi and its rival
			companies transforming into robots and squaring off. The demand for
			Optimus Primes is said to have made them scarce at the time, so this
			campaign was probably very well received among children.

			*This date is from Hasbro's product history list. However, according to
			an entry at http://www.usasoda.com/Pepsi1980.htm, there's record of a
			Pepsi can variant from 1986 that mentions "Win an Optimus Prime
			Transformer," so the campaign seems to have gone on at least some time
			into that year.

			----------------------------------------

			Whew...I could use a drink after all that.
