Reverse Convoy is an Autobot from the Robotmasters portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Reverse Convoy (リバースコンボイ Ribāsu Konboi), from the planet Vehicon, is an expert in the field of energy production. He utilizes a black hole link system, to unknown ends. The use of this system had the inadvertent effect of allowing Reverse Convoy to become possessed by the spark of Megatron.

Who you gonna call?

Reverse Convoy was a faithful Autobot servant of the Convoy Council, a much more humble 'bot than his peers Lio Convoy, Fire Convoy, or Galaxy Convoy. Reverse Convoy lived in an era when the Predacon threat was insignificant compared to the need for energy. When a strange new mechanical world was discovered, Reverse Convoy wasted no time in gathering a scientific team to explore the potential new colony. The planet proved to be a paradise. The native lifeforms, named the Tripurans according to left-behind holograms, had long since vanished, but they left behind infrastructure that the Maximals were able to utilize. The Maximals named the planet Vehicon for the numerous automated factories on the planet that were put to new use. Most significantly, Vehicon's moon had been collapsed into a singularity, whose gravitational tides the Maximals used to generate enormous quantities of energon. Reverse Convoy possessed a Matrix, making him a target of the multiversal threat, Grand Scourge, and his Matrix Breaker sword. Reverse Convoy was attacked and left for dead.

Long ago in the year 2004, the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction Megatron was traveling via space bridge from the Decepticon frontline of conquest on Cybertron to survey the conflict with the Autobot Binaltech warriors on Earth. The explosion of the warp gate known as the Trigger a decade prior had imbued his spark with latent transwarp energies, which chose to erupt at that moment. Megatron was consequently displaced in time and space, saved from oblivion only by his personal link to a black hole. He discovered Reverse Convoy at his most vulnerable, and took advantage of the opening provided by Grand Scourge to posses the body of the dying Autobot through Reverse Convoy's own singularity connection. Ironically, if not for Megatron's intervention, Grand Scourge's attack would have been fatal. Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge

Too impatient to care about the energy-rich era of Reverse Convoy, Megatron leaped through the Blasty Zone back to his native era while the Solitarium Wars were in progress.

Travelling to Earth, Megatron posed as Reverse Convoy and quickly earned the trust of Optimus Prime and his allies, who were busy battling Megatron's time-displaced successor, "Beast Megatron" for control of the planet's solitarium. Strategic Meeting: The Mysterious New Warrior Not long after, however, he brilliantly revealed himself as "Rebirth Megatron", and attacked the assembled Autobots. His deception exposed, Megatron subsequently allied himself with Beast Megatron. The Dark Emperor of Destruction, Reborn

Eventually, the Autobots defeated the Decepticons, and all the combatants in the war for solitarium were returned to their proper place in space and time. And Then

After Megatron was expelled from Reverse Convoy's body, Reverse Convoy apologized for allowing his body to be used in such a way. Reverse Convoy was subsequently sent back to his proper timeframe.

Toys

Robotmasters

  • Reverse Convoy (Deluxe, 2004)
    • Japanese ID number: RM-24
    • Accessories: "Reverse Blaster", missile
A retool of the Generation 2 Hero Megatron toy, Reverse Convoy transforms into a heavily modified blue and tan M1 Abrams tank. In addition to a new Prime/Convoy styled head that flips out of the same compartment as the head on the original version of the mold, the toy features a brand new "Mega Blaster" cannon assembly that houses most of the toy's new features. The Mega Blaster fires a spring-loaded blue missile, and the rear of the cannon can be removed and transformed into the hand-held "Reverse Blaster" weapon, featuring twin barrels and a rack of six (non-removable) missiles. Once the Reverse Blaster is removed, the toy's "Rebirth Megatron" head can be rotated out from the back of the cannon to take the place of Reverse Convoy's head between the figure's shoulders.
The original version of this mold was redecoed into Robots in Disguise Bludgeon. The toy still retains the opening panels on its forearms, despite no longer featuring the large missiles they are designed to store.

Notes

  • "Reverse" and "Rebirth" are both read as Ribāsu (リバース) in Japanese.
  • Reverse Convoy/Rebirth Megatron came with two different clip-out character art cards, depicting both of his robot modes. However, he only had a single clip-out bio.
