False Convoy

False Convoy was an evil version of Optimus Prime working for the Decepticons during Battlestars.



False Convoy is the spark-less body of Optimus Prime brought to life by the evil Dark Nova. Due to having no spark of its own, False Convoy is an extension of Dark Nova's will, used to terrify and destroy the Autobots.

Battlestars manga
Dark Nova, a strange nebulous being now commanding the Decepticons, somehow managed to get his tenticles on the corpse of Optimus Prime. Using his vast power, Dark Nova brought the body back online (albeit, without a spark) and programmed it to serve the Decepticons. False Convoy posed as the real Optimus Prime, back from the dead, and used the Autobots love of their legendary Supreme Commander against them. He turned on the Autobots and engaged them in battle, using the vast power of Optimus Prime's body against them.

False Convoy was eventually defeated by the Autobots and Optimus Prime's corpse was recovered by Sky Garry. Sky Garry then used the power of the Zodiac to bring the real Optimus Prime back to life as Star Convoy.
