>>9495589You are confused my brotha.. Blue Big Convoy exists in 2 timelines, the Precursor World (which predates their world) where it was started by Ehobby and most of the Generation selects manga takes places AND the G1 World (this name sucks but hey...) where everything published in Japanese G1, JBW, Car Robots and others mangas takes place
To prove my point let's see who Big Convoy is really:
Precursor Blue Big Convoy:
Leader of the Blue Order and bearer of the A Matrix, he died when the Straxus twins turned on the Blue Order but he was able to transfer his in his Sword.
Regular Blue Big Convoy (see pic releated):
Father of Big Convoy (called Big Junior in the tie-in manga), he was a member of the Convoy Council but he wasnt involved in it and denied every meeting/event they made, eventually he died in a conflit against the Blendtrons which led to Big Junior becoming Big Convoy etc...
Also takes not that everyone in the G1 World doesnt have the memories of the Precursor World, only Primus, Primacron (and maybe Unicron) retain them
So far here's some links where you can read all Precursor World comics:

>So who has the matrix of leadership during beast wars?No one, since they're all created with their own energon matrix by the time BW takes place.. Optimus Primal doesnt have a matrix here in occident but in the OVA of Beast Wars Second, he has one when transformed into Burning Convoy... and since we talk about japanese media.. Optimus Primal has his own Energon Matrix
And uhhh... yeah that's it,
