Convoy (rank)

Convoy is an Autobot rank of Leadership in all Japanese series, analogous to the american "Prime", and a counter to the Decepticons Emperor of Destruction.

Unlike the Prime's, a Convoy isn't necessarily the overall leader of the Autobots, rather virtually any high ranking Autobot is a Convoy. Once a Convoy reaches the rank of Hyper Convoy, he is granted a Matrix of some kind.

Suspiciously, every Convoy looks extremely similar.
