Jiai Jō!

The nature-loving Green Tender Convoy (グリーン慈愛なる司令官 (コンボイ) Guriin Jiainaru Konboi, lit. "Green Affectionate Commander"). has been blessed with a role in the Primus Vanguard that truly suits him: the defence of the plants and animals of the Green Planet, assisted by his Green Order. His greatest duty, however, is his guardianship of the life-giving Green Matrix.

Fiction

Generations Selects Special Comics

Green Tender Convoy was enjoying nature with the rest of his Order when he received a telepathic message from Primus, warning that they would shortly be under attack following the destruction of the Blue Order. However, when their foe arrived it wasn't Ultra Megatron as expected, but an Angolmois-empowered Sea Phantom. Green swore to protect the plants, animals and Green Matrix alike. God Neptune comic 1 As Sea Phantom was later seen with said Matrix, the fight clearly didn't go well God Neptune comic 3.

Green wasn't out of the running just yet, as along with Yellow Splendid Convoy and Black Go Prime he flew into space to restrain God Neptune after a surprise attack by the phantom Blue Big Convoy. Though they had the combiner on the ropes long enough for White Convoy Grand Prime to begin his attack, Green was sent flying with the others when God Neptune drew his Neptune Sword.

Green Tender Convoy is an official repurposing of Beast Tracker Optimus Prime

A redeco of Prime: Robots in Disguise Weaponizer Optimus Prime, this figure swaps out the red plastics with forest green, has new green paint applications on his torso, loses the electronics, and gains an additional "Dragon Sword" accessory, a slightly smaller version of the Ultimate Class Beast Hunter Optimus Prime's "Dragon-hunting sword".

His stock photography is mistransformed, as his back kibble is not resting on his back, but rather fanned out.

Notes

• While all the Primus Vanguard commanders have pretty fancy names, Green's takes the cake, with jiainaru being an adjective derived from a word meaning "parental affection". We've chosen to translate it as "Tender" as a reflection of his affectionate and tender attitude towards his animal friends.
