Fictional biography
From a world that no longer exists. Black Konvoy was reproduced by Unikron and then tormented and tortured for thousands of years turning him into a soulless and destructive machine. He was defeated by the Bots after a fierce battle, and 666,000 years later he was welcomed among the Konvoys. His soul has been reborn with the power and mercy of the Prime, he arrived in the present time Earth to work faithfully for the Bots mission. Black Konvoy behaves as a thoughtful and skilled warrior, but sometimes fights quite ruthlessly because of his different past battle experiences from other Konvoys. He secretly wishes to obliterate Unikron, but to concentrate on the urgent mission at hand, he has buried his personal desire deep inside.
