Faced with [[Specter|semi-corporeal enemies]] unaffected by his attacks, [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], chief engineer of the [[Primus Vanguard]], concluded that only the power of a Matrix could defeat them. This proved true when Blue arrived and effortlessly cut them down with his Matrix Sword, joking that Straxus's usual pompous attitude was nowhere to be found before, to Straxus's shock, lending ''him'' the sword. Blue showboated a bit and then vaporized the Specters with the Blue Pèlerinage, a mighty [[α Matrix]]-empowered blast from his cannon. The fighting done, he combined the α Matrix and Matrix Sword into a beacon to summon the rest of the Vanguard. {{storylink|Blue Big Convoy comic}}
During a battle with the [[Specter]]s, Blue Big Convoy rescued [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] by using the Matrix Sword to cut through the phantasms before using his [[α Matrix|α Matrix Cannon]] to vanquish them. {{storylink|Blue Big Convoy comic}}


Later on the [[Blue Planet]], Blue Big Convoy saved the time lost [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] from the blast of his fellow traveler [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Megatron]]'s blast with a well timed block from the Matrix Sword. {{storylink|Super Megatron comic 2}}
A while later, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Megatron]] were brought to the [[Blue Planet (Generations)|Blue Planet]] in the [[Precursor World]], Blue Big Convoy used the Matrix Sword to support Optimus against his nemesis. {{storylink|Super Megatron comic 2}} However, the Blue Order was soon beset by Straxus's betrayal—jealous that he had been passed over for leadership, Straxus implanted a program into the Order's other members and forced them to massacre each other.

Straxus retrieved the sword from the valiant leader's corpse and joined forces with the upgraded Ultra Megatron Omega. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 1}}


Not long thereafter, the [[Blue Order]] was torn asunder, its members driven to attack each other by the program secretly implanted into them by one of the group's Straxuses. Blue realized the betrayal, and the other Straxus—Director Straxus—mocked him and ranted that the previous commander, Brightes, shouldn't have passed him over for Supreme Commander in favor of Blue. Refusing to harm his comrades, Blue fell on his own Matrix Sword. Straxus liberated the blade from his former leader's body and offered his fealty to the freshly upgraded Megatron Omega in order to bring about the destruction of the Primus and the other Orders. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 1}}
Seeking the [[Star Power]] that Megatron Omega's alliance carried, [[God Neptune]] attacked, easily disarming Straxus of the Matrix Sword. The Matrix Sword wasn't without surprises, however, and Blue's spirit emerged, revealing that he put a portion of his [[spark]] into the sword when he committed suicide. Blue linked to the [[Big Cannon|Matrix Buster]] to give God Neptune a good blast. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 2}}
 
Having gathered five of the Primus Vanguard's Matrices in the subsequent commotion, [[God Neptune]] set out to use their power to seize the [[Purple Matrix]] and the [[Silver Matrix]] (carrying with it the blue [[Star Power]] of the [[α Matrix]], also pilfered from Blue) from the now allied Megatron Omega and [[Purple Wicked Convoy]]. Straxus attempted a swipe with the Matrix Sword to defend his new liege,  but was disarmed by God Neptune  with the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Matrix Saber]].

Much later, [[Magna Convoy]], last lone survivor of the Blue Order, mounted a one-man assault on the Straxuses' fortress [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] to reclaim the holy blade. His battle with the Straxuses' forces eventually sent him flying down through the ceiling into the lab holding the Matrix Sword, though Straxus warned Magna that the weapon was of no use anymore. Believing the sword unbreakable, Magna seized it and swung at Straxus, only for the blade to shatter!

A second Straxus, whose disembodied head was held in a machine as a result of [[Cybertron Convobat prequel comic|his experiments' escape]], mocked Magna Convoy for wielding a dead man's weapon for revenge and referred to him as "MC11".

Magna Convoy told Convobat of the Primus Vanguard, of the Matrix Sword, and of Straxus's betrayal. Seeing as Convobat was a clone of their final leader, Magna Convoy passed the remains of the sword to him, though the diminutive bot was reluctant to accept such a treasured object. When the two prepared to recover Convobat's [[transtector]], they found their ship under attack from Straxus's [[Rollermaster Corps]], and Magna Convoy headed out to fight them while urging Convobat to flee with the ship.
 
Confronted by Straxus himself, Magna Convoy held his ground and declared that while he had previously lost everything and had nothing to fight for, he now saw the light of hope in Convobat and was determined to protect him. Straxus was unimpressed and destroyed Magna's hand, but his ensuing barrage of missiles is blocked by Convobat who swooped in on a shield vehicle and returned the Matrix Sword to Magna Convoy. While keeping the Rollermaster Corps busy, Convobat told Magna Convoy that ''he'' was the one entrusted with the sword, though Magna just wanted to know why he didn't escape when he had the chance. Convobat explained that Magna Convoy's stubbornness reminded him of his least favorite aspect of [[Megalligator|a friend]], and he felt compelled to confront that stubbornness rather than oblige it.
 
The return of the Matrix Sword didn't worry Straxus, who mocked Magna Convoy's similarity to his late leader and told him that even if they are granted power, lifeforms like him didn't have the ambition to use it and must be led by someone like Straxus. He fired a powerful blast, but to his shock Magna Convoy, who had accepted that he was entrusted the Matrix Sword for a reason and was now able to protect himself upon its powerful light. The blade regenerated along with his hand and he unleashed its full power on Straxus. {{storylink|Cybertron Magna Convoy}}

In times of legend the α Matrix was placed within its hilt to create a mighty blade of Blue Star Power. Stolen by the traitor Straxus, its recovery is now the prime goal of Magna Convoy.

That Nemesis sword getting into the Vanguard is clearly nepotism at work
A redeco of the sword included with Titans Return Voyager Class Alpha Trion, the Matrix Sword is included with Legends Magna Convoy.
This mold was also used to make Leo Prime's Ancient Sword, as well as the Ancient Sword of Siege Nemesis Prime.
The 5mm peg in its hilt allows the owner to reproduce the combination with the α Matrix seen in its various comics appearances, should they own a Legends Blue Big Convoy.
