The name or term "Big Convoy" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Big Convoy (disambiguation).
Black Big Convoy is a Maximal from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

In their journey to acquire the Angolmois Capsules, Big Convoy and his Maximals encountered the deadly Blentrons who sought the Angolmois Energy for themselves. They themselves had a powerful and ambitious force behind their actions, a threat that Vector Sigma recognized. To defend against this, Vector Sigma secretly created Black Big Convoy (ブラックビッグコンボイ Burakku Biggu Konboi) in Big Convoy's image. This "dummy commander" has sworn allegiance to Big Convoy and one waits to see if he can help restore peace to the universe.[1]

A redeco of Beast Wars Big Convoy toy, Black Big Convoy transforms into a mammoth. His beast mode has a rubber trunk which can be controlled by pushing a lever on the top of his head. In addition, the tusks can be moved by pulling back either of his ears.
In robot mode, Black Big Convoy is absolutely chock-full of weapons and gimmicks:
  1. The spring-loaded "Big Cannon" (formed out of the beast's head, back, and tail) can fire two missiles from two barrels in succession with a rotating dial. It is held in his hands via 5 mm post and can be stored on his back.
  2. His shoulder armor can be swung up to reveal sculpted, non-firing missile pods.
  3. He has flip-out "Mammoth Tonfa" melee weapons in both forearms.
  4. The two beast panels on the sides of his legs feature two spring-loaded missile launchers that fire his anchor-shaped "Mammoth Haken" projectiles (similar to the original Beast Wars Ultra Class Megatron toy); the missiles can also be loosely held as melee weapons.
  5. His chest panel flips down, revealing the first-ever removable Matrix toy accessory, vacuum-metalized gold with a transparent red center. This accessory can be held by any figure with standard 5 mm fist holes.
Black Big Convoy technically has a third mode, known as "Mammoth Tank", which is basically just his beast mode with the Big Cannon folded out and his Mammoth Haken launchers deployed. Yay.
Like other versions of the mold, this toy is somewhat infamous for being a shellformer, as practically all of his beast mode components are shells that fit around the compressed robot to form this mode. Much of his kibble can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his beast mode on its own.
Black Big Convoy was sold in the regular Big Convoy package, with a sticker indicating that it was "Limited Edition Black Big Convoy" (限定版ブラックビッグコンボイ). This figure was available exclusively at Toys"R"Us stores in Japan.
