The leader (リーダー rīdā) led the great multiversal Primus Vanguard against dark armies and nefarious extra-dimensional invaders. As befits his position, he wields the evil-vanquishing Matrix Sword inherited from leaders past.

Fiction

e-HOBBY comics

Straxus, one of the Primus Vanguard, betrayed his comrades, setting them against each other. In the end, the leader was killed and his sword stolen, but he was able to transfer part of his power to Magna Convoy before expiring. Using energy from the leader's lingering spark within the Matrix Sword, Straxus would later create a clone, Convobat.

After Magna Convoy retrieved a broken Matrix Sword from Straxus, the leader's essence within the sword appeared to Magna Convoy and entrusted him with the "Blue Order", a responsibility to guide and support his clone, before fading away. Cybertron Magna Convoy prequel comic Cybertron Magna Convoy

  • Accessories: Big Cannon, two missiles, two Mammoth Haken missiles, Energon Matrix

The blue version of Big Convoy was repurposed as the Primus Vanguard leader.

A Lucky Draw from TV Magazine reportedly limited to ten pieces, this blue version of Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy transforms into a mammoth, and is somewhat infamous for being a shellformer, as practically all of his beast mode components are shells that fit around the compressed robot to form this mode. Much of his kibble can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his beast mode on its own. His beast mode has no leg articulation, but has a rubber trunk which can be controlled by pushing a lever on the top of his head. In addition, the tusks can be moved by pulling back either of his ears. Big Convoy technically has a third mode, known as "Mammoth Tank", in which his Big Cannon is folded out.

In robot mode, Big Convoy stands slightly shorter than the Beast Wars Ultra Class Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal toys, but makes up for it by being absolutely chock-full of weapons and gimmicks:

1. The spring-loaded Big Cannon, formed out of the beast's head, back, and tail, can fire two missiles from two barrels in succession with a rotating dial. It is held in his hands via 5mm post and can be stored on his back, though doing so may cause some stability problems owing to its weight.
2. His shoulders can be swung up to reveal sculpted, non-firing missile pods.
3. He has flip-out tonfa melee weapons in his forearms.
4. The two beast panels on the sides of his legs feature two spring-loaded missile launchers that fire his anchor-shaped Mammoth Haken projectiles, (similar to the original Beast Wars Ultra Class Megatron toy) and the missiles can be loosely held as melee weapons.
5. His chest panel flips down, revealing the first-ever removable Matrix toy accessory, vacuum-metalized gold with a transparent red center. This accessory can be held by any figure with standard 5mm fist holes.

This mold was also redecoed into Black Big Convoy, Universe Nemesis Prime, and Timelines Ultra Mammoth.
