Though not a Transformers game, the Konami PlayStation 2 game DreamMix TV World Fighters—only released in Japan—features Transformers as both playable characters and cameos. Due to copyright issues, it is highly unlikely that the game will ever leave that country.
In the '90s, a game based on Generation 2 was supposedly in development for the Super Nintendo console, but the project was dropped. It has been rumored that this project then evolved into the SuperFX chip enabled game Vortex. This is supported by Vortex being made by Argonaut Software (the company that was supposed to release the Generation 2 game), the fact that the game involved a polygon-based transforming robot, and the timing of the release.
