Fiction

TransTech

The Convoy was gathered in Axiom Nexus by its Optimus Prime. A multiversal cataclysm in a universe seeded with Rarified Energon and an invasion by natives from the negative polarity universe had called them into action. Since Matrix bearers and their kin were usually never allowed into Axiom Nexus, this was a grave threat indeed! Invasion Prologue

As part of their mission, "Beast Prime" and "Hero Prime" sought out Primax 209.0 Gamma Depth Charge to ask him to hunt down the Origin Matrix. Invasion: Epilogue He traveled to prehistoric Primax -408.24 Epsilon Shattered Expectations and successfully accomplished this task. Shattered Destiny Another Light: Falling into Place

The public appearance of two extradimensional Optimus Primes on TransTech Cybertron caused an outcry, but TransTech Optimus Prime explained that Negative Polarity Ultra Magnus's multiversal villainy and the Alternity defeating of beast of time Hytherion necessitated an active response. After some tension, the TransTech Decepticons accepted the Convoy's existence, reasoning that Convoy members were restricted to Axiom Nexus and Cloud World and were thus not around to lead any Offworlders.

Commander Megatron tried to match the Convoy by forming his own "Megatronus Squad", but this idea was shot down by the High Senate, Speaker of the Senate Ratbat giving the reminder that Megatrons throughout the multiverse were far too immoral to be trusted.

Upon asking Cheetor, Andromeda was given a list of the current 12 members of the Convoy Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter although Andromeda left out one more "classified" entry in her report. The Editor also noted that the Convoy had thirteen members. Axiom Nexus News Editor

Notes

• Barring TransTech Prime, each member of the Convoy introduced in "Invasion Prologue" is a specific toy: Generation 2 Hero Optimus Prime, Universe Sam's Club-exclusive Optimus Prime, Universe Sentinel Maximus, Cybertron Jungle Planet Optimus Prime, and Universe Leo Prime.
• The list of Convoy members provided on 21 May 2015 on the Facebook blogs Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter and Axiom Nexus News Editor lists 13 members, some classified, but not the TransTechs' own Senator Optimus Prime. Maybe he isn't on the list because as the assembler of the group, he functions as a coordinator rather than as a technical dimension-hopping member. If he is one of the "classified" members, though, then that is strange as Senator Prime is already publicly known to have assembled the Convoy.
