A legendary, strong-willed Convoy, said to have a particularly apparent sense of justice. Originally the head of a planetary exploration ship, Axalon, he ends up pursuing Beast Megatron to Earth (referred to him and his peers as "Energoa"). Normally, his alternate mode is a gorilla.

In the Beast Wars II tie-in movie, he comes out of a time-space warp in order to aid Lio Convoy and friends in their fight against the forces of Galvatron and Majin Zarak.

In the Legends manga, he's the president of **Axalon Trading Company** (アクサロン商事) and takes on a much more comedic personality.






The film revolves around the Maximals, led by Lio Convoy; the Predacons, led by Galvatron; and a mysterious device that has crashed on Planet Gaia (a future version of Earth), leading to the arrival of a legendary Maximal warrior, and the protagonist of the original Beast Wars series, Beast Convoy (Optimus Primal). Galvatron also uses the device to summon a monster Decepticon called Majin Zarak, who threatens to destroy all the Maximals.
