Beast Wars: Uprising

In the 34th century C.E., the Convoy Council were in charge of theCommandrons,the successors to the Maximals.

It was the council who declared no Cybertronian would ever leave the Milky Way Galaxy after the disastrous encounter with theAmmonites,to avoid attracting the attention of "lions, tigers and bears" (oh my!), as Megalo Convoy put it. When the stolen shipTerrastarleft the Milky Way Galaxy in contravention of this, the council unanimously orderedAstral Knightto take his colony ship, theHyperborea,after it.The Inexorable March

Notes

• The Convoy Council is only properly named in theBeast Wars Neocomic'sepilogue.Western misunderstanding conflates this term with theGreat Convoysof theBeast Wars Neocartoon, and this led toAsk Vector Prime's answers using this misconception.
