This isn't a battle between 2 specific characters, but rather the names. Which do you like better? Which fits better?

I like Optimus Prime better, since Convoy doesn't sound like an actual name to me.

"Hey, Convoy!"

Prime. They are the building blocks of the whole TF universe.

I like Prime best, but Convoy has the ring of difference to it...I wouldn't be opposed to having a 'Convoy' every once in a while, like if there was a Cybertron-type situation, with various 'lost' groups of Cybertronians scattered around. Maybe one of them would have held on to the ancient 'Convoy' term? But all in all, Prime sounds official, and sounds like a leadership title.

I prefer the name Convoy in some areas, like calling the combined form of Armada Prime and Jetfire "Jet Convoy." But Optimus Prime is, of course, the original and the best.

Definitely 'Prime'. More authoritative. carries greater weight, too.

Although Convoy is almost the perfect name for a truck, Optimus Prime is the perfect name for the leader of the Autobots.

Well, it's a given that the majority of all western TF fans is gonna say Prime.
I bet that most Japanese TF fans would vote Convoy.

Convoy is just a 1970s movie reference. OP is proper Latin! OP wins.
