    It's not that I don't have a question, I was at work.

    Anyway, with trivia contests like this, it's always hard to come up with a question of the right difficulty, without being banal.

    In the Beast Wars Neo Manga, what weapon does Big Convoy recieve and use to attack Unicron? (Which sadly his figure can't hold)

    Again, no.

    I'll point out two clues, I said manga and Which sadly his figure can't hold.

    In the cartoon, yes, Big Convoy used the Matrix to power up the Big cannon to the Matrix Buster to battle Unicron. However, the Manga is a completely different story. Heck, even the main characters have different origins.

    Also, they made a toy of the weapon in question, and it was mass released. I would think that nearly every BW Neo toy collector has the said weapon.

    Dammit, I can't remember, which sucks because not too long ago me and a shcool mate were discussing the Manga and I'm positive one of us brought it up.


    The suspense kills me. Kills me dead until I die from it.

    I have a good number of BW Neo figures and I dont even know what your talking about.

    But I've never read the BW Neo manga.

    Nope. Though again, Big Convoy did use the blaster in his battle with Unicron in the cartoon, but not the manga.

    I came up with three BW Neo trivia questions, but I dismissed one as being far too difficult, the other two are about the same level of difficulty, but I expected someone to have popped off the right answer by now. Another clue: It's not a gun. It's not a matrix.

    I suppose if no one can answer it, I'll give the answer and ask a Cybertron/Galaxy Force trivia question instead, one that should be easier.

    Bingo! (Did you look it up?)

    A dying Magmatron gave his sword to Big Convoy to attack Unicron with and for the inheirant symbolism. In the manga, Big Convoy would ultimately die during the battle.

    Your turn Gryph.

    Excluding G1 (and Titaniums G1 Scourge), how many toys with the name Scourge have there been that were not repaints of Optimus Prime?

    Let's see there was BW and Cybertron, so if you count the repaints that hold the name Scourge in some form then... 4 total?
