Pepsi Convoy has but one mission -- to bring cool, refreshing carbonated beverages to the thirsty sentients across the galaxy. With his powerful CO2 gun and Bottle Station, no thirst shall go unquenched!

He is made of a special sample of "intention metal" originally developed by NASA that was entrusted to the Autobots. This same metal makes up the "superhero" Pepsiman. It is unknown if Pepsi Convoy shares other traits with Pepsiman, namely his near-muteness and rather poor luck.

Toys

In 1985, a special version of Optimus Prime was released with bonus Pepsi decals for his trailer. This toy was the inspiration for the 2005 reissue of the Optimus Prime toy as Pepsi Convoy, a much more overt cross-branding. This release has several new Pepsi-themed paint masks, as well as an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry a single 500ml-size bottle (a common size in Japan), three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figures being a common and popular collectable item).
