A transporter (Japanese: 輸送隊 Transporter) is a class that carries items that appears rarely in the Fire Emblem series. In most other games, the convoy serves the same function and is not in the form of a unit or a class. However, in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, the Transporter class appears as a unit with this role, with only one character, named Merlinus. Usually, supply convoys of other games are nameless, or the group of named merchants of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn run the convoy but do not appear on the battlefield. In contrast to those examples, Merlinus is a character who appears in battles with a personality, dialogue, and even several support conversations.
If it is deployed, when a unit receives more items than their maximum capacity (five items), the item, or another item in that unit's inventory, can be selected to go to the convoy. If it is not present, the unit must discard one item. Since a transporter cannot attack, it must be guarded. Merlinus does have very high growth rates in HP, skill, speed, and luck, which help the only instances of this class have good endurance and dodging chances. If the transporter hits 0 HP, it can still be deployed the next chapter.
In The Binding Blade, the Transporter class does not change class. Instead, in The Blazing Blade, Merlinus starts at level 5; after he reaches level 20, he "promotes" to another transporter class, which is the horse-riding class that appears in The Binding Blade.
In The Binding Blade Merlinus does take up a deployment space and only gains experience by being attacked, making the class incredibly tedious to level up. In The Blazing Blade the class starts as a stationary tent. Unlike The Binding Blade every chapter that Merlinus is deployed he gains a level, and he does not take up space in the number of allowed units; the player is asked if he or she wants to deploy Merlinus right before the chapter starts.
Despite having sprites for when the class promotes in The Blazing Blade, there are no animations displayed when it is attacked.
