Lio Convoy
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIO : Lio Convoy
In the Japanese television series Beast Wars II, Lio Convoy is the name of the leader of the Cybertrons. He turns into a great white lion.
He appeared as a supporting character in the first issue of IDW's 2006 Beast Wars comic book series, sending Razorbeast on a mission as a double agent infultrating Magmatron's Predacons.
Lio Convoy is a pure hearted Maximal soldier. He was chosen by the Maximal Elders to pursue a renegade army of Predacons to the planet Gaea and prevent them from obtaining the super-powerful angromois energy that courses through the planet. When his ship crash-landed on the planet he was carried to safety by a white lion. His idento-computer then scanned the heroic lion and gave him his beast mode. Lio Convoy is a fearless leader and a noble warrior. His army of Maximal soldiers obey his every order and treat him with the utmost respect. He has a fierce rivalry with the Predacon Emperor of Destruction, Galvatron. It is up to Lio Convoy and his army to defend Gaea from Galvatron and vanquish the Predacons permanently.
Lio Convoy is one of the most powerful Maximals in the history of Cybertron. In beast mode he becomes a powerful white lion capable of achieving high speeds and stalking enemies in absolute silence. In robot mode Lio Convoy has a plethora of special attacks. His trademark attack is the "Lio Typhoon". With the lion head on his right shoulder he can generate a powerful burst of wind that can overpower nearly any foe and send them hurtling uncontrollably in the opposite direction. Lio Convoy can also draw a saber from subspace for close range combat. He is also capable of extending his lion talons out of his hands to slash enemies to pieces or extend a powerful set of missile launchers to blow opponents away. His ultimate attack is the "Double Matrix Blast". If paired with another Maximal Supreme Commander Lio Convoy can combine energies from their two Matrixes of Leadership and become Flash Lio Convoy. In this mode he shines in brilliant yellow light which gives him unfathomable speed. He can then draw out this energy, combine it with the energy of the other commander and release it in a devastating blast that eradicates all in its path.
Lio Convoy is a fearless and battle-hardened warrior. He has a great respect for life and nature. He will openly sacrifice himself for the safety of others, especially his own men. The Predacons are more than aware of this and attempt to take advantage of this flaw at all instances.
During the last episode of Beast Wars II Lio Convoy, along with all the other Cybertrons, was killed in an explosion that was caused by Galvatron being destroyed by Lio Convoy and Lio Junior. Somehow, however, near the end of Beast Wars Neo, LioConvoy and his troops returned to fight alongside Big Convoy and his team in order to stop a revived Unicron.
