So? It's still a Matrix. And not every Prime even has a Matrix. None of the Primes from Animated did, for example. Yet Optimus, Sentinel, Rodimus, etc. all still bore the rank of Prime. Heck, even Shockwave was a Prime in that series, having earned the rank under his "Longarm" alias.

You're asking if a commander-type character with "Prime" in his name should be considered a Prime.

That's like asking if Rodimus Prime should be considered a Prime.

Except they kept touting Siege as being directly inspired by the first few scenes of that old episode. Heck, that's why the entire line used the design philosophy of "The robot modes must look faithful enough to the G1 cartoon models (from the front) no matter what nonsense altmode they turn...

Despite the name, Big Convoy isn't actually all that big. He's the same height in robot mode as Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal. Even his original toy was shorter than both of theirs, while both of their MPs were scaled to the height of his original toy. Conversely, Magmatron is huge. He towers...

Despite being in bear mode, Icebird never felt comfortable standing the presence of large cats.

Already being discussed in the Selects thread, since it's a Selects toy.

Cybertronian Wheeljack would have happened in Siege if he (and Spinister) had won the fan vote that Impactor and Mirage won instead.

And given how much this fandom still resents the very existence of Primacron as a character, I can't imagine a toy of him being all that popular.

Here's Fox Kids's old RID2001 website. Lotta Flash content that's either long gone or in need of an emulator to play, some character profiles taken from show's production bible, and a description of the show in the "About" section.

Looking at this pic, I only just now realize how much Groudpounder has some Omega Supreme-ish vibes going on with his design.

RID2001 Hot Shot's deco is just G1 Stepper's deco.

It's funny how this one is several times larger but may actually be the cheaper option.

At long last, Linkara has finally posted his History of Power Rangers Dino Fury video:

Some places still have Encore Big Convoy in stock. It's a perfectly fine figure, and was made as a companion piece to go with the Masterpiece release of Lio Convoy, in lieu of an actual MP Big Convoy mold. And its deco is show-accurate. I recommend anyone wanting a Big Convoy to pick it up. You...

The main ROTB toyline will have gimmicky figures in it. It's just that it'll also have some normal-ish Deluxe figures in it too. Kinda like Cyberverse and EarthSpark.

Galvatron was also twice as large as Lio Convoy in the cartoon. And when Unicron took on Galvatron's appearance in Neo, his dragon mode was a similar size to Magmatron. So Galvatron would need to be a Commander class, too.

Because Beast Wars Neo flopped in Japan. Both it and Beast Wars Second were only made to serve as filler series until the rest of the American Beast Wars cartoon was ready to be aired in Japan, since only the first season had aired in Japan at the time. Lio Convoy is more iconic than Big Convoy...

We don't know. Probably not very likely since they're not as well-known as Lio Convoy. Even in Japan, he's the only one from the two Japanese-original Beast Wars shows that the Japanese fans seem to even care about.
