Next January, a new animated series based on Q-Transformers will make its debut in Japan. Titled “Mystery Of Convoy“, the series will tie-in with the mobile game of the same name.
“Mystery Of Convoy” was originally a 1986 Famicom game which was very difficult to beat and was even reviewed by James Rolfe; the Angry Video Game Nerd. The game will return as a mobile game with the characters replaced by the figures of the Q-Transformers series.
A promo containing the Opening Credits of the new series has made its way online thanks to walruslaw.
You can download and play Q-Transformers: Kaetekita Convoy no Nazo (Q-Transformers: The Return of the Mystery of Optimus Prime) on Android and iOS.

Thanks. But what about Hot Rodimus and Ultra Magnus. I'm sure there were other characters too such as Meister and Red Alert.

Just a moment…
Here's the official show cast. I'm excited that we have Yoshimasa Hosoya, Ryohei Kimura, Kouki Uchiyama and Yūichi Nakamura amongst the cast, all of whom are making their franchise debuts here.

Well that's good. Now I know it'll be worth watching

I only know that Tatsuhisa Suzuki-san plays the Destron Lockdown. Does anyone know who voices who?
walruslaw
Yea its only 5 mins long. Considering the time of day it is on i think it might be for mature audiences much like the Gundam-San shorts.
LegendAntihero
Well that's not so bad since I wasn't going to watch it anyways

So will this be only 5 minutes long…seeing that it starts at .55 after the hour?

So, Dwarfformers? … Nah.
Seripa
lol! I was thinking the same thing, I really love the song and the Oldcodex band thanks to free!, I was searching but can't find the release date for this song called "physical"
TFW10
I liked it
spiritprime
Um, no. Just no. Those Transformers look ugly as shit. I mean, tiny legs with BIG upper bodies? No thank you.
The song is good, mind you. But… I don't like the look of the style.

omg mako-chan does the singing in the song uwU. pretty cool little clip though
QLRformer
That was… interesting.
I'd need to see more clips though to actually judge the show, but it looks fairly kick-ass.
But isn't it supposed to follow the video game with Ultra Magnus?
Miyaren
Not sure if its posted but i checked out The Japanese Wikipedia page and the show runs for 5min from 21:55-22:00 starting from 6th jan

That was too much for me. It's not that I thought it was bad or anything, though, and I'll probably grow to like it, but for now, it's kinda falling flat. Still, I'll at the very least watch the show. Whether or not I like it, though, is another thing. I was personally hoping for some kind of rock remix of the Transformers 2010 theme song, because that just seems so fitting.

That's actually pretty cool. I wonder how many episodes should be expected.
