Revision as of 10:34, 13 July 2022

The Armored Convoy is an Action Master vehicle from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
It's a truck large enough to be driven by a truck-sized robot. Eep.

The Armored Convoy is a gigantic truck that Optimus Prime drives. The cab portion becomes an interceptor shuttle, while the trailer unfolds into a battle station with communications and warfare capabilities.

It's armed with a photon cannon, heat-seeking "buzz bombs," a disintegration laser, and double-barreled "pom-pom" cannons. Sadly, it does not turn into a robot itself. That would be craaaazy recursive.

There are probably few Earth roads that it can fit on. Well, maybe in the city where "B.O.T." takes place.

Toys

The Transformers

"Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck, and I'm about to put the hammer down."
  • Armored Convoy with Optimus Prime (Action Master, 1990)
    • Accessories: 2 Laser Guns, Galactic Pulverizer Gun Barrels, 4 Blaster Cannons, 2 Energon Exhaust Stack, Photon Bazooka
The largest of the Action Master toys, the Armored Convoy is a great big convoy, truckin' through the night. The cab of the truck transforms into a small jet that can seat one Action Master figure, while the trailer itself converts into a larger battle station with turrets that several Action Masters can man.
The trailer unfolds into a large battle station with lots of weapon-mounting points. The rear spoiler-section of the trailer can seat two Action Master figures, while the other battlements and foot-pegs offer many places to station other figures. The central "engine" of the trailer has a pair of flip-out (non-firing) cannons.
The Armored Convoy was later redecoed as the Microman: LED Powers toy Micro Trailer – sans Optimus Prime, natch – which also received two separate Lucky Draw toys as the Dark Trailer and Flame Trailer. Now we really do got a great big convoy.
