Convoy (Transformers)

Convoy is the Japanese Equivalent of Prime. This is sometimes explained in Western Transformers lore as a honorific nickname given to the Autobot (called Cybertrons in Japan) who possess the Autobot Matrix of Leadership.It should be noted that unlike the Decepticon (Destron) title Emperor of Destruction, a Autobot with the Convoy honorific is not necessarily the supreme commander of all Autobots. Instead, the title Convoy can be given to any Autobot officer as a sign of their office. There have been occasions, however, when a Autobot has been made Supreme Commander but lacks the Convoy honorific. The most famous of these is the hero Star Saber. Other notable non-Convoy commanders include Fortress Maximus and Dai Atlas.
