Description

“Prepare for battle!”

As a standard action, Optimus can form a Battle Convoy. Optimus must move (under his own power) during his turn when he uses this effect and must continue to move (or charge) each round in order to maintain it. Allies within a 900 ft cone (originating from Optimus) receive a +3 bonus to active defenses against any attacks originating from a point beyond Optimus (from that ally’s perspective). The Battle Convoy area adjusts as Optimus moves, and only allies within the cone area receive any benefit.
