We've got a great big convoy...
Big Convoy is a high-ranking yet severely anti-social general in the Maximal army. He is often called by his nickname, "the One-Man Army", due to his lone-wolf behavior and immense skill in battle. He can transform into a woolly mammoth and his weapon of choice is the Big Cannon. At one point he was a freelancer, working with Rockbuster, until he joined the Maximal army officially. He has a heated but respectful rivalry with Predacon Emperor of Destruction, Magmatron. The Maximal Elders recognize Big Convoy's skill and dedication yet do not approve of his introverted attitude.

Hoping to curve Big Convoy's psychotically anti-social behavior, the Maximal Elders ordered him to train a crew of unruly new recruits. Big Convoy loathed the assignment at first, but being a loyal soldier, accepted the task. His first mission was to explore Gaia and investigate the disappearance of Leo Prime. Little did he know, Magmatron and his Predacons were following close behind him. After finding a black box message from Leo Prime, Big Convoy learned of the Angolmois capsules ejected after the destruction of the Nemesis. Big Convoy then headed off with his group of trainees to collect the capsules, battling Magmatron every step of the way.
Big Convoy is not one for compassion or sentimental gobbly-gook. Because of this bitter attitude, Vector Sigma took it upon-itself to dispense words of wisdom and encouragement to the recruits directly through Big Convoy, via his Energon Matrix. Big Convoy hated it at first, but over the course of the adventure, the sense of compassion began to rub-off on him and he started giving words of advice all on his own.
Eventually, after the Maximals and Predacons collected all the capsules, they were attacked by the Blentrons, a fearsome trio of nearly invincible Transformers. The Blentrons beat the mortal hell out of him, the Maximals and the Predacons, taking the Angolmois capsules. As it turned out, the Angolmois energy was really the essence of Unicron and the Blentrons were his creations.
The Blentrons released the Angolomois energy into the corpse of Galvatron, resurrecting Unicron. Big Convoy and the Maximals raced him back to Cybertron but were side-tracked by being sucked into a wormhole. It was actually the same wormhole that sucked-in Leo Prime and his crew after their battle against the Nemesis. Leo Prime told Big Convoy the history of Unicron and helped him escape the wormhole.

The Maximals arrived too late; Unicron had already destroyed the Maximal armada (and Great Convoy with it) and possessed Vector Sigma, turning Cybertron into his new body. Big Convoy, the Maximal recruits and Magmatron stood side-by-side to fight the menace. Unicron briefly exited Vector Sigma to swat his opponents. Using their new-found teamwork, the Maximals managed to hold Unicron off while Big Convoy powered up his trademarked Big Cannon with his own Energon Matrix. This upgraded his Big Cannon into the Matrix Buster. Big Convoy unleashed a blast from his Matrix Buster directly into Unicron, seemingly destroying him.
With Unicron evicted from Vector Sigma, Big Convoy and Magmatron chose to put aside their differences. Together, all missing Maximals and Predacons set adrift (especially those from Beast Wars II) returned to Cybertron to help rebuild the planet. In the final shot, Big Convoy, Magmatron and Leo Prime were shown standing side-by-side beneath Vector Sigma.
