But officially, he's still called Convoy. The same can be applied to the red Bumblebee: officially "Bumble", but "Cliff" in fiction.
My understanding is that the Super Black Alternity Convoy is a reformed Nemesis Prime(the "dark clone" of OP/Herald of Unicron/redeco of Big Convoy) from the future. I can understand why he could be in the Convoy Corps because he is a clone of an alternate OP, thus being an alternate version of OP/Convoy in a way.
The thing about BB and CJ is that they're not supposed to be related in any way aside from being from the Autobots/Cybertrons(unless I'm mistaken about that, I'm not too familiar with the Japanese Transformers fiction). So I can understand grouping them together in a division like a Minibots Corps due to being minibots but not a "Bumblebee Corps" or "Cliffjumper Corps" since they're not iterations of each other as far as I understand.
For anyone familiar with the fiction, I'd like to ask what you think Alternity Bumble/Bumblebee will have for whacked out tech specifications. For those unfamiliar with the fiction, check these far out specs:
Alternity Convoy:
Ten-Dimensional Processor Block [head]: The brain-part that controls multi-dimensional thinking and consciousness.
Timaeus Powertrack Generator [chest]: Generates the racetrack for the super-dimensional-locomotion Timaeus Drive.
Universal Emulation Engine [waist]: Universal mechanism that replicates all mechanical devices.
Phasic Isolation Shield Emitter [knee]: Shield emitter that erases one’s presence and offers total protection.
Timestorm Detector Array [door-wing]: Able to remotely detect the generation of changes in time-space and immediately calculate their coordinates.
Alternium Hyper-Frame [clavicle]: Higher-dimensional-material receiver that physically links the Auto-Avatar and the true Alternity.
Anti-Hytherion Spacetime-Piercing Tachyon Blasters [forearm]: Super-long-range armaments that can strike targets existing in the past, the future, or in other dimensions.
Planet Force Storage Reactors [lower leg]: Where the vibrational energy of the planets is gathered as backup energy storage.
Alternity megatron:
Higher Dimension Sensory Array [head]: A type of sensor that boosts perceptual strength in higher dimensions.
Negavation Cloak Emitter [shoulder]: A stealth feature that disrupts detection of alternities.
Alternium Hyper-Frame [clavicle]: Physically links the Auto-avatar and Alternity frame. A terminal for higher-dimensional matter.
Timaeus Powertrack Generator [chest]: Generates a run loop for the "Timaeus Drive" super-temporal driver.
Inertia Manipulation Device [waist]: A control device which can alter the momentum of enemy physical attacks or the user's body.
Gravital Blades [forearm]: Swords that slash apart space and slice up the flow of time. They can be used to open up a dimensional hole and create a beam attack that bathes the target in the exotic particles that flow out.
Tesseractal Swords: A sword made from the fang of the Hytherion, a super-dimensional creature. It can slash even faraway enemies, ignoring intervening spacial distance.
Holo-Kinetic Arm Projector [lower leg]: Generates an invisible force field arm that can support devices' installation, removal and self-repair.
Universal Emulation Engine? Tesseractal Swords? Anti-Hytherion Spacetime-Piercing Tachyon Blasters? Isn't that crazy? In a good "over the top super space anime mecha technology" way, of course. If Bumblebee gets some super hyper time/space/reality upgrades, he could become the MGS4 Raiden of Transformers with respect to suddenly perceived bad@$$ery.
