Lio Convoy allowed his trooper to stand alone against Megastorm as he wished, only providing support when Starscream and BB intervened on the fight. Lio Convoy told Bighorn to stand down so the team could fight as a unit, but the enraged buffalo could not be restrained. Once Megastorm was drawn out into the open by Diver, Lio Convoy and Apache arrived to support their team in battle. White Lion, Run!Īt Lio Convoy's direction, the Maximals searched the area for signs of the Galvaburg II. Stranded on Gaia, the team dedicated themselves to stopping Galvatron's evil plans for the Angolmois Energy. Staying in lion mode the whole time, Lio Convoy bounded onto the scene and freed his troops from the energy web that was paralyzing them, then led them back to the crashed wreck of their ship, the Yukikaze, where he revealed his identity to them (although Apache had already figured it out). Convoy then scanned the lion's form for use as a beast mode to protect him from Gaia's atmosphere, and redubbed himself 'Lio Convoy'.Īs coincidence would have it, Galvatron and his Predacons had also come to Gaia to harness its Angolmois Energy, and Lio Convoy's unit had followed them, but wound up on the losing end of the battle that resulted. The lion carried Convoy to a cave brimming with the power of Angolmois Energy, which restored and revitalized Convoy. When he regained consciousness, his body had already been weakened and corroded by the hazardous atmosphere of the planet, and he would surely have died had not a white lion come upon his prone form. The New Forces Arrive! While the blast hurled Apache to safety, however, Convoy took the brunt of the explosion and was cast into the depths of the cosmos, eventually crash landing on the planet Gaia. Realising that the whole affair had been a trap laid by the Predacon Emperor Galvatron, Convoy sprang into action and opened fire on the planetoid, which exploded dramatically. Entering the field in small one-man reconnaissance crafts, the pair discovered that the signal was coming from a small planetoid that suddenly began bearing down on them in a collision course. Receiving a mysterious SOS signal from within an asteroid field, Maximal Supreme Commander Convoy investigated alongside his deputy, Apache. Convoy's act of kindness earned him a loyal friend for life. When Apache dropped from exhaustion, however, Convoy, shared his energy with Apache so that they could both continue on together.

This attitude has strained his relationship with his 'son', Lio Junior, who wants only to obtain the approval of his 'father'. Though compassionate by nature, Lio Convoy stumbles when it comes to expressing anything outside the perimeters of gruff military rhetoric. He believes that combat, more than anything else, reveals an enemy's true character and it has been through combat that Lio Convoy has made both his bitterest rivals and most enduring friendships. Though he yearns for a universe forever at peace, Lio Convoy takes to the battlefield with precision, strength and cunning. While on the surface he appears to be a tough, exacting, career-military sort of robot, any Maximal who has served under him knows that there's a smile behind his face-plate and a gentleness at the core of his spark. Now with his own crew of loyal Maximals, Lio Convoy continues to display those qualities in the heat of desperate combat. As he rose through the ranks of the Maximal Space Patrol, Lio Convoy (ライオコンボイ Raio Konboi, aka Leo Prime) and his honest nature, selfless dedication to duty and ability to lead by example quickly caught the attention, and earned the respect, of his superior officers.
