IDW Publishing
Lio Convoy appeared the IDW Publishing BotCon 2016 story Transformers: Dawn of the Predacus. In this story Lio Convoy served as a member of the Primal Council after the death of Optimus Prime. When Ironhdide suggested the Decepticons may not back down after the death of Galvatron, Lio Convoy suggested they do what they always do. Lio Convoy was then sent to the eastern Iacon front.
Lio Convoy is the leader of the Pack, a Maximal black-ops unit that keeps tabs on potential Predacon threats to the Pax Cybertronia, the peace between the Maximals and Predacons. This led him to have Razorbeast infiltrate Magmatron's force of Predacons, who traveled to prehistoric Earth to turn Maximal protoforms previously carried by Optimus Primal's ship into Predacons. The Pack later received a transmission from Razorbeast informing them of trouble on Earth, and traveled their to aid Razorbeast's beleaguered forces. This led them into an unlikely alliance with Ravage and Magmatron's other Predacons against the evil Shokaract, who was an unwitting pawn in a scheme to revive Unicron. The allies-joined by Big Convoy's team of Maximals-were able to triumph over Shokaract, only for Megatron to arrive and subsequently take over the planet as seen in Beast Machines.
