Transformers Video Games

In the year of 1986, a company called Ocean Software launched a video game that was based on the Transformers figures. This game was not a hit. Also Takara, the parent company of the Transformers released a game called Transformers: Convoy no Nazo. This game too was a successful one and it was not even released outside Japan.

Another game was released for the Sony PlayStation 2 by Atari; simply titled as Transformers, it was based on The Transformers: Armada. The game's reception was mixed, particularly due to the popularity of a PS2 Transformers game released at the same time for a Japanese-exclusive market, though the Armada game was of a higher quality and featured much better game-play. The game not released in America was based on the Generation 1 storylines.

It has been over two decades since the Transformers figures were first launched, but still the popularity and craze in people for Transformer action figures has not stopped and never will it.
