A Whole Different Kind of 'Convoy'

It is generally known that the name 'Convoy' points to a certain few bots which demands respect. Convoy, or its American name Optimus Prime is a name to behold and puts kids into frenzy.

Now over the years, this 'surname' (as I would clumsily put it) was also applied to a few other different Transformers characters of a much different calibre from the Convoy we know of. The Galaxy Force series, or Cybertron as termed in USA, had come up with a few other Convoys which are unique in their own way. A perfect example of this would be the behemoth Megalo Convoy, a bot originated in from the Giant Planet as narated in the Galaxy Force series. Megalo Convoy transforms into a modern looking drilling rig, already existed in our part of the world mind you. Another name for this giant would be Metroplex, taken from the famous Generation 1 characters which bodes a different alternate mode altogether. In this photo, Megalo Convoy is attached with an additional 4 mini-cons aside from his own mini-con Drillbit.
