	Convoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The convoy prefix indicates the route of the convoy.
		The largest convoy effort since World War II was Operation Earnest Will, the U.S. Navy's 1987–88 escort of reflagged Kuwaiti tankers in the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War.

		Anime Convoy is packaged with his rifle, but no trailer, which was done as a chase figure in waves 1 and 2.5.
		All six of Convoy's wheels can roll, a cool thing to have in such a small figure especially since the most recent US effort to do so in such a small Prime had only four of his six wheels functional.
		Convoy can also use his rifle in this mode, which is easily seen as Convoy's familiar rifle, though rather than using tiny pegs and fist holes like Soundwave and Hot Rod, it's a clip on, probably a wise move considering the original Prime couldn't even hold his gun properly.
