'''''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Mystery of Convoy''''' is a video game developed by [[ISCO]] and distributed by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] for the [[Family Computer|Famicom]] (the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System). The player controls [[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 [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]-type infantry, floating [[Decepticon]] [[insignia]]s, the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', the [[combiner]]s [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and a final battle against [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]].

The game was followed by ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (video game)|The Headmasters]]''.

In 2008, ''Mystery of Convoy'' was made available on the Wii's [[wikipedia:Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] service in Japan. It costs 500 Wii points.

==Gameplay==
[[Image:Convoynonazoscreen.png|left|180px|thumb|Ultra Magnus tries not to get his ass kicked by ''the first enemy''.]]
The game is a simple 2D platformer with the player making their way through 10 levels while under constant attack from various enemies. Killing enemies earns the player points, occasionally various power-ups such as extra defense or temporary flight, and at every 20,000 points the player is awarded with an extra life. Many of the levels are simple horizontal fields, while two are vertical and one is a frustrating labyrinth where escape depends on a very specific route through the level or else it will loop back in upon itself. At the end of each level is a boss which in almost all cases simply floats up and down on the right side of the screen while randomly firing projectiles at the player.

Ultra Magnus fights with a very short-range gun and can transform. While transforming lets him fire upwards and makes him harder to hit, it makes his forward shots arc downwards and takes away his ability to jump. Unless he's using the "B" power-up, Magnus will die from a single hit of any kind, whereas the majority of enemies require multiple hits to be destroyed.

There are also a few secrets in the game, such as special red jet enemies that appear in certain stages. If Ultra Magnus manages to kill these, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] appears and lets him skip a few levels. Another secret is the seven hidden letters that spell out "RODIMUS" which are obtained by killing certain enemies. If the player collects all seven letters by the end of the game, they are given the option of playing through the game again, this time as [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]. Rodimus Prime has a new vehicle mode sprite but his robot mode is simply a recolored Ultra Magnus, although the gameplay remains exactly the same as during the Magnus run.

This game is also notorious for being extremely difficult to the point of frustration thanks to dodgy hit mechanics and sluggish control in addition to the small size of the projectiles requiring very accurate aiming, the copious amount of enemies, and the lack of color making the player unable to discern important objects from each other like an enemy shot from a mountain in the background.

{{main|Transformers (Mystery of Convoy)}}

==Notes==
* The English title on the package of the game is mistakenly labeled as "Mystery of Comvoy".
* Despite his Japanese name being in the title of the game, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] only appears in-game twice. First during the start screen, when his head explodes and reassembles as the player's sprite, and later his head reappears colored gray right at the end of level 7.
* The ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' story, "[[To Die Game!]]", [[retcon]]s this game as being part of a cross-dimensional game between the hyper-dimensional guardian [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Alternity|Optimus Prime]] and the equally powerful [[Megatron (G1)#Alternity|Megatron]], wherein Optimus had to choose one avatar (Ultra Magnus) to fight endless hordes of Decepticons empowered by Megatron.
* The events of this game were adapted into [[manga]] form twice. First by [[Ikuo Miyazoe]] in a special titled "[[Famicom How-to Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy]]" and published in the December 1986 issue of ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]''. Then again, in a far more truncated strip format by [[Akira Tanizaki]] for the [[Transformers (Mystery of Convoy)|''Transformers (Mystery of Convoy)'' strategy guide]] in the ''Comic Bom Bom Winter Vacation Special: Family Computer Certain Victory Dojo'' Vol. 12, in December 1986.

Transformers: The Ride â€“ 3D

2012-05-30T05:31:11Z

75.80.57.27: /* Characters */

[[Image:Transformers the Ride.png|center]]
'''Transformers: The Ride''' is a theme park attraction which opened [[December 3]], [[2011]] first at [[Universal Studios]] Singapore at Sentosa, Singapore, and then [[May 25]], [[2012]] at Universal Studios [[Hollywood]] in California. Based on the [[live-action film series]], the ride features High Definition 3D film footage and visual effects by [[Industrial Light & Magic]].<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118039268?refCatId=13 ''Variety'' article]</ref>

==Synopsis==
At a [[NEST]] outpost in Universal Studios, [[you]] are enlisted and assigned with [[Evac (Ride)|Evac]] to transport the last shard of the [[AllSpark]]. However, [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] steals it and leaps onto Evac's hood and claws at the passengers then retreats. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] retrieves the shard from Ravage while battling [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] and entrusts the riders and Evac to protect the AllSpark. Evac flees the scene by crashing through a wall and plowing through city traffic. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] appears and says he will guide the way and tackles the charging [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], who orders the [[Decepticon]]s to destroy them. [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] then flies in and attempts to catch them with his rotor weapon but is blocked off by a train and loses his arm when Evac flees into a tunnel.

Megatron continues to chase them and even captures Evac, who struggles and manages to break free. Megatron fires a missile at Evac while grappling with Optimus, but he maneuvers to avoid the oncoming shell and escapes through a hole blown in the wall by the missile. As they drive, Evac is pulled and thrown through the air by [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s vortex. As Evac drives away, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] provides back up and the pair race through city streets until [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] attacks. Sideswipe manages to hold off Bonecrusher until Evac blasts the Decepticon in the chest and head a few times.

Evac is then pulled into Devastator's [[Vortex Grinder]] and only survives the grinders within due to activating his battle shields. When he emerges in one piece he is grabbed by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s grappling hook and flung through the air as Starscream flies and is sent crashing into a building. Evac surveys the top of the building and sees Optimus and Megatron still locked in battle, with Megatron apparently being the stronger. Starscream returns to taunt Evac but is chased a away by [[NEST]] air support.

Not wanting to run anymore, Evac charges into Optimus and Megatron's battle and hits Megatron from behind. As Optimus holds Megatron from behind, Evac jabs the shard into Megatron's chest, severely weakening him. As this happens, Megatron falls backwards over the edge of the roof and pulls Evac down with him. Megatron howls in defeat as they both plummet to the ground but Bumblebee appears and catches Evac at the last moment. With Megatron defeated, Optimus Prime congratulates Evac and the recruits on a mission accomplished. As Evac drives through the tunnels back to base, he passes underneath Megatron's lifeless body smashed through the pavement and comments that the riders can ride with him anytime.

僕らは意識組み替える

その手を強く握り 
互いの絆信じて 
戦え!

====English translation====
Out in the darkness, someone is rending the silence 
Awakening this planet from its sleep 
Who is it?

Look, evil spirits are right before you 
There's nowhere to run, so take 'em straight on! 
Someone tells me to erase my "worries" and "fear" 
We reconstruct our minds

Clench your fists strongly 
Believe in the bonds between us 
And fight!

:So all I can do
:And all you can do
:Is spread your wings and transform
:Take the anger piercing your heart and turn it into strength
:Now all I can do

===Album releases===
This song has yet to be released on any soundtrack albums.

==Notes==
*For some reason, the on-screen subs for the cartoon's opening transliterates all the English words into katakana while the CD's lyric sheet uses a mix of Japanese and English text. Since these are both official media, that's also what we've done here.
*This [[title sequence#Japanese version|title sequence]] uses completely original animation and features no recycled footage from the show.
**To say that this intro has little to do with the actual show would be an understatement. [[Ironhide (Animated)|Some]] [[Arcee (Animated)|characters]] with small roles within the series as a whole get [[To sell toys|lots of exposure]] in the video, while more [[Jazz (Animated)|prominent]] [[Lugnut (Animated)|ones]] are only briefly seen, and [[Sari Sumdac|one]] particularly important character is completely absent. Rather than focusing on [[Detroit]], the intro seems to jump all over the globe, such as [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] in front of the Flatiron Building in [[New York City]], [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] on the Great Wall of [[China]], [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] in [[Egypt]], Ironhide in [[Australia|Sydney]], [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] fighting at Paris, [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] fighting [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] in Osaka, [[Japan]], [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] wrecking havoc at Moscow, and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] appearing in [[Washington, D.C.]]
**[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] seems to power up with [[burning justice]], and for some reason, a [[Cloaked mystery villain|strange, evil character]] appears at the beginning the video.
**For those who have not seen the show, the intro spoils a '''lot''' of things, including [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s relation to Elita-1, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]'s embedded [[AllSpark#Animated|AllSpark]] shard, [[Starscream clone (Animated)|his clones]], [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]'s appearance, Blackarachnia's control of the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]] and even [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm]]'s betrayal, as [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] fights him rather than Shockwave.
*During the bridge after the phrase 'Get and Go', a chant going "Defeat Decepticon!" can be heard.
*A second and slightly modified version of the [[title sequence#Animated|title sequence]] debuts in the episode "[[The Return of the Headmaster|Headmaster, Once Again!]]" using the second half of the song.
*In the final episode "[[Endgame, Part II|The Final Decisive Battle! Suppress Megatron]]", the dubbing cast sings over the first version.

====Original Japanese====
(Transform!)
:鋼鉄の勇気かがやけ
:まぶしいひかりを浴びて
:渦巻く銀河のかなたへ
:旅立てよ Transformers

深い闇にこたえを求め 
胸を焦がす闘いの日々 
運命に進化してく生命体

傷つきさまよいそれでも 
やさしさ探しあてたとき 
君の中なにかが変わりはじめる 
Transform!

:鋼鉄の勇気かがやけ
:まぶしいひかりを浴びて
:渦巻く銀河のかなたへ
:旅立てよ Transformers

:伝説の勇者闘え！
:あふれる想い抱いて
:いつの日かこの宇宙(そら)いっぱい
:勝ち誇れ Transformers

====Rōmaji transliteration====
(Transform!)
:Kōtetsu no yūki kagayake
:Mabushii hikari wo abite
:Uzumaku ginga no kanata e
:Tabitate yo Transformers

Fukai yami ni kotae wo motome 
Mune wo kogasu tatakai no hibi 
Unmei ni shinkashiteku seimeitai

Kizu tsukisa mayoi sore demo 
Yasashi sa sagashi ateta toki 
Kimi no naka nanika ga kawari hajimeru 
Transform!

:Kōtetsu no yūki kagayake
:Mabushii hikari wo abite
:Uzumaku ginga no kanata e
:Tabitate yo Transformers

:Densetsu no yūsha tatakae!
:Afureru omoidaite
:Itsu no hi ka kono sora ippai
:Kachi hokore Transformers

====English translation====
(Transform!)
:The steel courage shines
:Basking in the radiant light
:Spinning off into the galaxy
:Begin the journey, Transformers

Seeking an answer in the deep darkness 
Yearning for those daily battles 
Evolution is the fate of life-forms

In spite of this wandering fragility 
It's time to search for kindness 
Something within you starts to change 
Transform!

:The steel courage shines
:Basking in the radiant light
:Spinning off into the galaxy
:Begin the journey, Transformers

:Fight, legendary heroes!
:Embrace these overflowing feelings
:One day this sky will be full
:Be triumphant, Transformers

(Transform!)
:The steel courage shines
:Basking in the radiant light
:Spin off into the galaxy
:Begin the journey, Transformers

Seeking an answer in the deep darkness 
Yearning for those daily battles 
Evolution is the fate of life-forms

In spite of this wandering fragility 
It's time to search for kindness 
Something within you starts to change 
Transform!

:The steel courage shines

:Spin off into the galaxy
:Begin the journey, Transformers

:Fight, legendary heroes!
:Embrace these overflowing feelings
:One day this sky will be full
:Be triumphant, Transformers

Meeting and separating multiple times 
The heart calls out "Become stronger" 
So the soul won't be broken down by sorrow

Tears spill down the cheek 
It's proof of improving yourself 
Keep believing in yourself 
(all're one!)

:The steel courage shines
:Piercing the metal's purpose
:The corona blazing from behind
:Become hot, Shinin' Spark!!

:The steel courage shines
:Basking in the radiant light
:Spin off into the galaxy
:Begin the journey, Transformers

:Fight, legendary heroes!
:Embrace these overflowing feelings
:One day this sky will be full
:Be triumphant, Transformers
