Transformers - Comvoy no Nazo (Japan) Game

Transformers: Convoy no Nazo (or The Mystery of Convoy) is a hidden gem from the NES era that throws you straight into the action-packed world of the Transformers—with a twist. Instead of playing as the usual Autobot heroes, you step into the shoes (or rather, wheels) of Ultra Magnus, racing against time to uncover a conspiracy behind Optimus Prime’s (Convoy’s) mysterious resurrection. The game blends side-scrolling shooter action with vehicle combat, letting you transform between robot and truck modes on the fly—just like the show!

What makes this game stand out—aside from its killer ’80s anime-style cutscenes—is its brutal difficulty and unique premise. It’s not your typical Transformers adventure; it’s darker, weirder, and packed with that classic NES challenge. Fans of the franchise will love the deep-cut references, while retro gamers will appreciate its fast-paced, no-frills action. Just be warned: this isn’t a walk in the park. Even hardened Decepticons might sweat a little!
