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.

I was told different.




Oh well can't always be right thanks for pointing out my mistake!

However, it's possible that I have been misinformed, myself. Where'd your info come from?

Went looking for this description to make sure my source wasn't misinformed, but I couldn't find it.

The Japanese animated web series Mystery of Convoy, featuring the cast of Takara Tomy's Q-Transformers just released Episode 13, which features Megatron (finally!). Check out the video we've embedded below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Man, this show just keeps getting funnier! I love all the spontaneous body-changing.

And it looks like the remake game redid the background for the Megatron boss battle. It has clouds now instead of a blank black background.

Not fully, but I get a tiny bit of things that they're talking about, like how Megatron seems to feel disgraced by how lame his boss battle in the game was.

We really need some Transformers fans to get together and subtitle these. I understand enough to get the gist of what they're saying, but not enough to get the delivery. I really want to be able to get this line for line.

Episode 1's been subbed so far, but nothing else since.

I'm hoping the reason for this is that the fansubbers are waiting for the DVD/BD release of the series since every time a new episode goes up the previous one gets switched to a private video.

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye out for the rest, that's how I knew they weren't being subbed. Waiting for the physical release makes some sense, but fansub groups aren't exactly know for their patience. Someone did put together a batch of all 13 episodes raw Tuesday so that's a bit of progress.

Thanks to a tip from fellow Seibertronian Emerje, we can report on a Takara Tomy Q Transformers Return of the Mystery of Convoy series-themed event in Odaiba, Tokyo Bay, next April 29th! You can find out more at the official website here (in Japanese) or over at Crunchyroll here.

The Decks Tokyo Beach shopping center in Odaiba, Tokyo Bay, Japan, is teaming up with Q Transformers: Return of the Mystery of Convoy in a promotional campaign beginning on April 29, 2015. The event kicks off with a special live event featuring Ryuhei Kimura, the voice of Bumblebee, and Kōtarō Ishidate, the director of Q Transformers.

There will also be special lottery style drawings for prizes, such as Q Transformers character goods and free passes to Joypolis, a Sega-themed amusement park located at Decks Tokyo Beach.

The collaboration campaign also includes a special theme menu for the Decks Tokyo Beach Dipping Dots ice cream store. Purchases of these desserts come with one of three collectible coasters, while supplies last.

Q Transformers: Return of the Mystery of Convoy is a 2015 Flash-based anime series that premiered on such websites as Niconico and Youtube. It features Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Lockdown discussing ridiculous things in a fashion very similar to shows like gdgd fairies and Hi-sCool! Seha Girls.



The campaign runs from April 29 until May 17, 2015.

I wonder what sort of event this could be.

Oh! What would be both awesome and hilarious would be a live show of the three main characters (played by actors in full body costumes) doing what they do on the show in person, and including the audience in on the fun by reacting to the audience and such. That would be sweet!

That would be really cool and make for a good DVD/BD bonus down the road. Unfortunately this is probably just going to be a meet and greet, maybe shake some hands and sign some autographs type of thing. They are selling tickets to it so who knows?

That's either a really small kid, or a really big Bumblebee statue.

This will hopefully make accessing the episodes easier since the older ones keep being blocked after every time a new episode is released.

[Crisdecal]

So how many episodes will be on the DVD?

If you understand JApanese, please let us know what is actually happening in the clip, but the general gist seems to be a congratulation on acquiring a good following for the bizarre show. Check it out!
