The announcement of the LG-EX Blue Big Convoy was a nice surprise for many Beast Wars collectors. Takara Tomy Mall website has uploaded the LG-EX Blue Big Convoy Comic/Manga for download, finally revealing some backstory about this character.
There was a lot of speculation about which character this new redeco was going to represent. The 2-page manga reveals that Blue Big Convoy is the E-Hobby comics Primus Vanguard Leader character, introduced in previous E-Hobby stories.
The manga shows Blue Big Convoy helping Straxus who was in battle against some mysterious enemies. Blue Big Convoy really shows off all his power.
You can download the manga directly as a pdf file here or alternatively you can check out the mirrored images after the break, and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Since most of us do not have the Lucky Draw Blue Big Convoy, this LG-Ex Blue Big Convoy is good enough for me
Thundermania
If you guys do want to bulk up a display for the Vanguard you could use Sentinel Prime's shuttle mode as it appears in the orange colour scheme in Blue Big Convoy's comic. I'm also the translucent Prima and Solus with Metalhawk's Prime-master shell and Ape-X. There's also the obvious use of any mildly heroic blue character as more knights.
Thundermania
That would also be cool, I personally want more Vanguard members to bulk up the ranks. That repaint of Mindwipe into Mutant Soundwave would be the one I'd want though.

There's also the Bludgeon retool of TR Hardhead that was in one of these comics.

Maybe Takara will give us that CW-style Nexus Prime. We've got the molds, the technology and we've got an increasing roster of Blue Corps.

Because even when he's a Decepticon he's a good guy.
Almost makes one wonder if another exclusive combiner is in the works…
PoweredConvoy
Nice catch. I hadn't noticed that.
Fallout
the question is: why is heatwave a bad guy?

They should've done a few things with that mold that they never bothered with.
A true G2 green Megs, Overcharge, Reverse Convoy…
Oh well.
Thundermania
What if instead of Thunderwing it's Metalhawk? He was also made from that mold, is a Japanese character, is primarily blue and fits the obscure theme.

Heatwave or who ever it is seems to be that head but on the CW Onslaught body. Just look at the "guns" sticking up from his back.
Thundershot
They really should have made a Reverse Convoy out of the Titans Return Megatron. It would have been so easy…

Ah, ok. I didn’t see the colors closely enough. That makes sense.
PoweredConvoy
That would make sense if the other two weren't represented by the character's actual colors.
Reverse Convoy – blue and red
Thunderwing – gray and green
Heatwave – red and blue
If the Heatwave looking guy was blue and green or blue and gray then it would be obviously Barricade and not Heatwave. Heatwave is the only option that makes sense with the coloration.
Thunderwing also doesn't have much in the way of blue. The blue characters are the heroes in this, not the villains (except once Straxus turns).

It's very lantern corps-esque.
Markdelg
Actually, contrary to what TFWiki states, I think that the third bot is actually Energon Barricade, not Heatwave, since there's a distinctive "blue" theme with all the Primus Vanguard characters:
Barricade (Energon) – Transformers Wiki
Thundermania
I love this "Blue Sentinels" universe, so off the wall and unique.
PoweredConvoy
Reverse Convoy, Thunderwing, and Heatwave.

Well. Did anyone figure out the mystery characters? From the shape.. One of them is reverse Convoy (shape). The one next to him to should be movie starscream.. The one with twin cannon should be onslaught(combiner war) (His hand is give away).
