Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (franchise)

Return of Convoy (トランスフォーマーリターン・オブ・コンボイ) was the fifth Japanese-exclusive Transformers franchise, released in 1991 and following on from Transformers: Zone in 1990.

The franchise featured the following three components:


 * A toyline
 * The Battlestars manga special.
 * A series of story pages.

It is notable that this franchise was the first Japanese series not to have any corresponding animation. Neither would the next franchise, Operation Combination.

Story
Return of Convoy continued the storyline of the animated continuity, picking up where Zone left off, but was never actually animated. Instead, the story was told through a single issue of manga and story pages.

The Return of Convoy storyline revolved around the return of Optimus Prime as Star Convoy and his battle against Dark Nova and the resurrected Super Megatron.
