This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Galva Convoy is a mystery to those around him. Burning with emotion within, he focuses these feelings into a quietly intense and unnerving outward demeanor. He carries powerful weapons and bears a mysterious Energon Matrix in his chest, and exerts these formidable abilities not to acquire power, but simply to quench his thirst for destruction.
Since his arrival in Axiom Nexus, Galva Convoy's nature has proved an enigma to both the city's lowtech denizens and its Security Administration. Rumors abound as to his true nature, from the conspiratorial (that he is a deep-cover agent for the Convoy) to the absurd (that he is the seldom-seen bar owner Maccadam), but the TransTech authorities have settled on the theory that he is an villainous double of the Lio Convoy of Primax 209.0 Gamma. Regardless, his suspected involvement in a string of crimes has led Officer Cheetor to target the sinister Maximal for arrest.
Fiction
Beast Wars: Uprising
Eject surreptitiously obtained a sample of Lio Convoy's CNA, with the intention of using it to initiate the "Galva Contingency" should the Guardian of Order go rogue. This plan would see a clone of Lio created, which would possess its own energon matrix. When Lio Convoy joined the Resistance and kickstarted the Grand Uprising, the Builder Assembly approved Eject's motion to go ahead with the Galva Contingency. Broken Windshields Furthermore, Eject visited the Forever Vaults to research the G-Virus, tempering Lio Convoy's CNA with the G-Virus to create a new being who could still access the Matrix. Micro-Aggressions Not All Megatrons
After many stellar cycles, Eject's research produced a new clone of Lio Convoy who would use his duplicate Matrix to create a new army, a new race of Cybertronians that would replace the Maximals and Predacons... except for the fact that the newborn Galva Convoy wasn't inclined to do so. Having studied the long and violent history of his race—from Autobot and Decepticon through to Maximal and Predacon—Galva Convoy decided that it would all have to go if Cybertron was to truly be saved.
Claiming that he needed to "transcend" to master the Matrix inside of him, a mysterious voice that only Galva Convoy could hear began persuading him to pervert the Builder's plan and create an army of "Terrorcons" instead, powered by corrupted anti-Sparks. From their base in Nova Cronum, Eject argued with his new protégé about their plans before storming off, warning the Maximal that he would need to get a move on soon, or else. Once Eject was off his back, Galva Convoy returned to mediating, unaware that he was being watched by an addled Predacon on a mission of his own. As the Predacon thief made off with a protoform, he noticed that a security camera beamed a data transmission to the meditating Maximal. Not All Megatrons
