Looks like a new animated series is about to debut in Japan next month featuring the upcoming Q-Transformers characters and based on the mobile phone game Q-Transformers. This video was uploaded by Youtube account walruslaw.

Video taken from the recent live Q and A "Q-Transformers- Mystery of Convoy Returns" Christmas Eve Eve ★ Night live! ! but the audio was far too low so fixed it as best i could and shared it with you all Merry Christmas!

Episode 1 of Q Transformers is online:



Never thought I'd ever see a TF cartoon that was self-aware of its being a vehicle for toy advertisement.

Thanks to tips from fellow Seibertron.com user Sabrblade, we can share the first two episodes of the Transformers Q videos from Takara Tomy. The first episode is summarised below by Sabrblade, and features Bumblebee, Lockdown and Optimus Prime discussing the Transformers toys and the 30th - while the second discusses the Mystery of Convoy game, and Transformers games in general. Check them both out below!

"30-Shūnen Shōhin no Nazo" (The Mystery of the 30th Anniversary Merchandise).

The gist of the episode is that Bumblebee, Lockdown, and Optimus talk about how it's now the 30th anniversary of the brand, how the Q Transformers toys are "cutie" (QT) versions of the Transformers, and then discuss what would happen in cases that would try to make Transformers cuter (along with their own reactions, be they silly or horrified).

"Kakujitsu na Kusogee no Nazo" (The Mystery of a Game That Certainly Stinks). (Kusogee or kuso-game literally "crappy games.")

[Sabrblade]

There's a part of the series title missing. The show's full name is "Q-Transformers: Kaettekita Convoy no Nazo" (meaning: "Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns").

As for what's going on in episode 2, they start talking about how bad the Mystery of Convoy game is, and then get to discussing other games that are even worse.

I gotta love the irony of how the theme song is pretty much this hardcore metal theme yet it's used for a series that's literally a "Cute Transformers" series.

Thanks!

I actually kind of hope somebody subs this, I'm surprised by how actually cute the little animations are...might be time to break my rule of No-SD-figures.

(am I the only one who got a distinct Den-O impression from their argument? )

More irony: They're talking about silly stuff, yet their discussions are fairly serious and straightforward, reacting aptly to the sillier ideas with either educated amusement or appalled bewilderment.

(am I the only one who got a distinct Den-O impression from their argument? )

The episode 1 argument or the episode 2 argument?

Little bit of both.

Episode 3's up

[Madeus Prime]

Just out of curiosity, does anybody have a translation of these? And could somebody point me in the direction of where to find the intro song?

Thanks to the DLE YouTube channel, you can now view the fourth (and third) episodes in the Mystery of Convoy Returns, this time featuring some more on videogames, specifically the NES Mystery of Convoy game and its upcoming remake, and what appears to be a deleted scene of sorts, loosely translated as paint the salt in the wound. Make of them what you will below!

Thanks to the DLE YouTube channel, you can now view the fifth episode in the Mystery of Convoy Returns series, featuring more videogame talk, specifically the NES Mystery of Convoy game and its upcoming remake, and what it loosely translated as "Kitai of unreasonable gate". They also throw a new Q-Transformers character into the mix, Prowl!

[Va'al]

Swap out Takara Tomy Q-Transformers Prowl for Wheeljack alongside Optimus, Bumblebee and Lockdown, and you have the sixth episode of the DLE Channel 'Mystery of Convoy Returns' animation series! The title for this one is 'Motenai Otoko No Gyappu No Nazo', loosely translated as (potentially) 'The mystery of the gap of no attractive man' (?) - check out the embedded video below, and see what you make of it.

[william-james88]

The seventh episode of the DLE Channel 'Mystery of Convoy Returns' animation series is online with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker stopping by this time! The title for this one loosely translates as (potentially) 'Mystery Of Certain Explorers', a definite improvement over the last installment's title - check out the embedded video below.

Another episode of the (supposedly) hilarious, definitely confusing animated series Mystery of Convoy Returns has been uploaded by the DLE YouTube channel - and this one features the Datsun brothers Bluestreak and Smokescreen! Check out the episode approximately titled 'Mystery Of Certain Psychic Powers', in Japanese, embedded below.

Another episode of the web animated Japanese series Mystery of Convoy Returns, featuring the ever growing cast of Takara Tomy's Q-Transformers. In this ninth instalment, we see the inclusion of a Tracks minifigure, and the topic appears to be 'Mystery of Game Balance' - whatever that may be. Check it out below, via the DLE YouTube channel!

[Sabrblade]

I wish each episode wouldn't be switched to a private video after each one is succeeded by the next episode, as I missed the previous three episodes before this one.

Whoa, major cast change. Bumble's the only one left with Hot Rodimus and Ultra Magnus in place of Optimus and Lockdown.

Poor Magnus, having been the star of such a terrible game.

Whoa, major cast change. Bumble's the only one left with Hot Rodimus and Ultra Magnus in place of Optimus and Lockdown.

Poor Magnus, having been the star of such a terrible game.

And not even the same Bumblebee (who here is called Bumble) this one is a separate Bumblebee then the one from the previous episodes who first showed up in the last one.

No, last episode showed him to be the same guy with a new look. He and Convoy (who also changed from his Optimus Prime look and name) talked with Lockdown about how their new looks came with different names, which led them to talking about the differences between the old Japanese G1 names and the current use of the Hasbro names in Japan. His voice actor's the same as well.
