In battle against the Specters, Blue Brightes Convoy was mortally wounded. Dying on the battlefield, Brightes passed on his leadership to Big, christening him "Blue Big Convoy", with the Straxuses as witnesses. His final words were a warning of the danger of the Specters, Finale Part 1 which Straxus later recalled. Blue Big Convoy comic

Brightes's decision to pass on his mantle to Big instead of Straxus infuriated the latter enough that he teamed up with his twin to bring down the Blue Order from within. God Neptune comic 1 Cybertron Magna Convoy

Reverse Convoy was repurposed as Brightes.

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.
