- The Armored Convoy is an Action Master vehicle in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Armored Convoy is a gigantic truck that Optimus Prime drives. The cab portion becomes an interceptor shuttle, while the trailer unfolds into 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.
