Fiction

Precursor World

In battle against the Specters, Blue Brightes Convoy was mortally wounded. Dying on the battlefield, Brightes passed on his leadership to Big, christening him "Blue Big Convoy", with the Straxuses as witnesses. His final words were a warning of the danger of the Specters, Finale Prelude which Straxus later recalled as he was attacked by Specters, one of which who took on the visage of Brightes.

Brightes's decision to pass on his mantle to Big instead of Straxus infuriated the latter enough that he teamed up with his twin to bring down the Blue Order from within. God Neptune comic 1 Cybertron Magna Convoy

During the final battle royale for control of the universe, the Straxuses came across who they thought was a resurrected Brightes picking up the Silver Matrix on the Blue Planet. This turned out to be a deception by Blue Megatron, who blasted the twins. Finale

    • ID number: RM-24
    • Accessories: "Reverse Blaster", missile
Reverse Convoy was repurposed as Brightes.
A retool of the Generation 2 Deluxe-sized Hero Megatron toy, Robotmasters Reverse Convoy transforms into a heavily modified blue and tan M1 Abrams tank. In addition to a new Prime/Convoy-styled head that flips out of the same compartment as the head on the original version of the mold, the toy features a brand new "Mega Blaster" cannon assembly that houses most of the toy's new features. The Mega Blaster fires a spring-loaded blue missile, and the rear of the cannon can be removed and transformed into the hand-held "Reverse Blaster" weapon, featuring twin barrels and a rack of six (non-removable) missiles. Once the Reverse Blaster is removed, the toy's "Rebirth Megatron" head can be rotated out from the back of the cannon to take the place of Reverse Convoy's head between the figure's shoulders.
The toy still retains the opening panels on its forearms, despite no longer featuring the large missiles they are designed to store.

Notes

  • The name "Brightes" might be a shortening of "Brightest", but the etymology is not particularly clear.

  1. As with other Primus Vanguard officers, Brightes's name and title are subject to a form of Japanese wordplay wherein "Majestic Commander" is written in Japanese text as Yūdainaru Shireikan (雄大なる司令官) but given the arbitrary foreign pronunciation "Brightes Convoy" (ブライテスコンボイ). See the Japanese language article for further details on how this works.
