'''''Transformers: Mystery of Convoy''''' (トランスフォーマー　コンボイの謎 ''Transformers: Convoy no Nazo'') was a video game for the Famicom (the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System). The player controlled [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] on his mission to find the whereabouts of the missing [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Along his quest, Ultra Magnus faces various [[Decepticon]] threats, including [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]-like fighter jets, the [[Combiner]]s [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and a final battle against [[Trypticon]].

Upon completing the game, the player was given the option of starting again at level one, this time playing as [[Rodimus Prime]]. Rodimus Prime has a new vehicle mode, but his robot mode was simply a recolored Ultra Magnus.

Despite his name being in the title of the game, the only time Optimus Prime appears in-game is during the start screen, when his head explodes and reassembles as the player's sprite.

This game is also somewhat notorious for being extremely difficult to the point of frustration, thanks to dodgy hit mechanics and sluggish control.

The God Gambit

2007-10-01T04:08:09Z

66.45.148.219: /* Miscellaneous trivia */

'''[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|Generation One]] > [[Generation 1 (cartoon)#Season 2|Season 2]]'''

The Decepticons scheme to conquer a race of primitive humanoids by exploiting their religious beliefs.

==Detailed synopsis==

The episode opens with [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] chasing [[Cosmos]] through space, shooting him down where he crash-lands on [[Titan]], one of [[Saturn]]'s moons. On the surface, slaves are forced by the high priest [[Jero]] to worship a false god statue and give tribute. Rebels led by [[Talaria]] try to break this up and denounce the false god for what it is, but Cosmos' crash-landing convinces the slaves that the gods must be angry.

Astrotrain, seeing what's going on, decides to play [[wikipedia:goa'uld|Goa'uld]] and tell the people he is a god to enslave them and extract Cosmos' data tracks, in addition to mining the energy crystals of Titan. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] is not happy about playing second fiddle.

One of the rebels activates Cosmos' transceiver, and communicates with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] on Earth. [[Jazz]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] head to Titan aboard [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] (who, for some reason, runs out of fuel on a trip from Earth to Saturn, even though he can fly to Cybertron on most occasions), defeat Astrotrain, and free the enslaved people. As Jazz puts it, "We're not gods and never claimed to be".

===Miscellaneous trivia===
*[[Astrotrain]] seems out of character in this episode, especially with him ordering Starscream around. It would seem that this episode ''may have'' been originally written for [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in the Astrotrain role and quickly re-written in order to feature Astrotrain (who was, not coincidentally, a new toy at the time). This would explain Starscream's deference (and apparent fear) of Astrotrain, plus Astrotrain's Megatron-esque dialogue.

* Strangely, the existence of a primitive humanoid civilization on Titan was never brought up again in official TF fiction.

* This was one of several episodes subjected to the [[MSTF]] treatment at [[BotCon 1999]].
