Dear Vector Prime, whatever happened to ConvoBat and Megalligator who were created by the two Straxuses?
Dear Convobat Conversational,
Megalligator's journey was a cold one. Soundwave had inherited his holy Father's quiet disposition, and on a number of occasions he failed to communicate the graveness of his mission. Assuming he was being taken to begin his crusade against all Megatrons, Megalligator was shocked to find himself face to face with Burning Red Sentinel Prime and the final Megatron himself. Megalligator found his body reacted to Megatron's presence, releasing the Green Matrix from within his veins.
You see, the Straxuses had gathered quite the collection of artefacts during the Angolmois Battles, including the all-creating Green Matrix. The Matrix' limitless creation powers had been drained by the Straxuses to form a battery for their new rebellious assassin, granting him power over machine life. Red Sentinel insisted Megalligator hand over the Matrix to Megatron, but Megalligator stole it away, enraged that he had been reduced to a pawn in the life of his genetic source. It was only the timely manifestation of Green Tender Convoy that brought an end to the conflict. Tender explained that Megatron had been chosen as his successor, but the weight of his sins as Emperor of Destruction prevented him from taking the Green mantle alone. This was where Megalligator came in. As a Primitive, beloved of Primus, Megalligator was to act as shieldbearer and conscience to Megatron, always pushing him towards defense of nature and the common man. Megalligator buckled under this decree, but came to some acceptance after seeing Megatron risk his life for him when Straxus' servant Sideways attacked. The villainous space biker was driven off, and the pair were jointly dubbed the Green Compassionate Commanders.
Meanwhile, Convobat joined Magna Convoy as they scoured their quiet and chaotic universe for survivors of the Primus Vanguard. They found Jhiaxus in her laboratory, having completed the formula necessary to manifest the Matrix Gauntlet, her lover Yellow Splendid Convoy dubbing her the Yellow Dazzling Commander before passing on to Primal Valhalla. Deadlock found them, having meditated on the hiss of the Black Legendisc and realised his potential as Black Brilliant Commander. This act of sheer personal assertion called forth his opposite to balance the universe, a minor candidate at White Gallant Convoy's Glacier Academy: Drift, the White Bold Commander.
This party made their way to the Purple Planet, having been told that their final test awaited them. There they found Purple Wicked Convoy, quite alone. Without Primus, his Shockwave council had mostly found themselves preoccupied with their own experiments. Wicked played the madman, insisting that he was intent on deciding whether Magna Convoy or Convobat was to become his successor: Purple Heinous Convoy.
This was in truth another of Wicked's ill-timed jokes. Confronted with two bots the spitting image of his dear brother-in-arms, he wished to test who deserved to take the Blue mantle. Magna Convoy won out: Convobat could not help but find himself tempted by a future separate from the shadow of his genetic father. Wicked assured him to take heart: Blue Big Convoy had always asserted that the world was larger than Convoys or Primes, and Convobat had proven himself as beyond the cycle of Primal succession.
When Convobat and Megalligator finally met, it was as equals: as Convoy and Convobat. Though they had one final clash, the only ones who had anything to fear were the Straxus Corps. For they were the defenders of the universe: the Primus Vanguard.
