I was working on that very question in another post.
I originally thought about mounting it on a 50mm base (same size as the Glaug base) but after some discussion (and a realization of the size of the recovery pod on a 40mm base), just about any unit mounted on a 40mm base will do... Matchbox car included. Mounting the unit on a base clears up the whole Base to Base and Hand to Hand issues for a tournament or competitive play, but for a simple throw down among friends it may not be required.
Tournament rules will spell out the size restrictions. 2 Convoy vehicles will likely be required for any tournament army, in case that scenario is randomly selected.
For my games I will have 4 sets of Convoy vehicles...
2 bases of Small trucks. http://www.microworldgames.com/collections/6mm-scifi/products/land-transporter
2 cargo aircraft on flight stands. http://www.ebay.com/itm/F-TOYS-1-300-JAPAN-AIR-MILITARY-TRANSPORT-FREIGHT-PLANE-MODEL-C-1-3B-C1-3B-/231352392140?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item35ddad59cc#ht_4482wt_1124
2 space ships on flight stands...Scratch built from recovery pods
2 Battle pods with cargo nets full of boxes on their backs. For the Zents just to be funny.
In a pinch you could also use two recovery pod minis as the Convoy Vehicles.

I bought these today in preparation for my scratchbuilt RRT cityscape.

They're a little larger then the RRT scale but they're passable and cheap! The trucks and buses would make good convoy objectives.

Re: Scenario questions: Convoy
a few other options for aircraft based ones...
1/350th scale C-2 Greyhound transport airplane
1/350 scale set of helicopters and tilt-rotors
there are a bit smaller scale than the RTT mecha, but should work fine.

In your post regarding wing mounts in the stands thread you put a link to ghq would you think the scaleing for the M561 Gamma Goat would almost be right for land convoy models or would that be too large?

Re: Scenario questions: Convoy
GHQ military models are all 1:285th so perfect size for this game. Great guys too, I used to live a couple of blocks from where they are located in minneapolis - they showed me some of their sculpting tips at that scale (the secret is layers...shhhhhhh) and always gave me free crap when I went to play games there or pick up stuff I ordered.
