Fiction

TransTech

The Convoy was assembled in Axiom Nexus by the local 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 a Depth Charge to ask him to hunt down the Origin Matrix. Invasion: Epilogue

The public appearance of two extradimensional Optimus Primes in Axiom Nexus caused an outcry, but High Chancellor Optimus Prime explained that negative polarity Ultra Magnus's multiversal villainy and the Alternity defeating the Hytherion necessitated an active response by the TransTech. After some tension, even 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.

High Commander Megatron tried to match the Convoy by proposing 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 Commander Cheetor, ANN journalist Andromeda was given a list of the current 12 members of the Convoy Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/05/21 although Andromeda left out one more "classified" entry in her report. The ANN Editor also noted that "Hero Prime" was from Primax 895.0 Gamma, not Primax 095.0 Gamma and that the Convoy had thirteen members. Axiom Nexus News Editor, 2015/05/21 Later in an interview with Rook, Cheetor corrected the home designation of Primal Prime from Primax 509.28 Epsilon to Primax 700.0 Beta. Andromeda was a good reporter, but she made mistakes when she was starstruck by Cheetor. Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/06/04

One of the rumors which abounded about Galva Convoy was that he was a deep-cover agent of the Convoy. Customization class Galva Convoy bio

Directorate Starscream called a meeting of the Convoy in the aftermath of the Waruder invasion. As General Optimus Prime had already dealt with the invasion proper, the Convoy was tasked with damage control, and ensuring that everything return to normalcy. Among their tasks was returning order to the offworlder maximum security prison, and quelling the fervor of some emboldened Insecticons. Cybertron's Most Wanted

In the months to come, Axiom Nexus lost contact with the multiverse and the Offworlder Zones descended into violence and chaos as the inhabitants realized they might never go home. The Convoy had to be sent to quell unrest. Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/10/20

General Optimus Prime led the Convoy in a raid on Alpha Trion's old hideout in response to intelligence that the place had been appropriated by Cy-Kill. While the terrorists were gone, the Convoy incidentally recovered the long-lost sparks of Blackarachnia, Nightscream, and Immorticon. Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/12/02

The last five members of the Convoy were leaked to the public when Crasher and Cop-Tur transdimensionally hacked a broadcast of Ask Vector Prime to reveal their names as an attempt to destabilize Axiom Nexus and drive up Renegade recruiting as a gesture of good faith by the Renegades.
