Hey, here's hoping they are better than the 1986 or so Japanese game for the Famicon/NES (the only Transformers video game the franchise had until I believe 1997)

So Lockdown clones are the Decepticon, um, Greyshirts?

The last arcade near me closed last year, so even on the off-chance this got imported to the States, it'd still be out of reach. Heck I never even got to play that G.I.Joe over-the-shoulder shooter back in the day. Shame they didn't do this for Beast Wars, since Cheetor's gut-gun always seemed tailor-made to be a big goofy looking gun in some arcade game you'd see in an amusement park.

The description leaves me with questions about the format of the "hunting" game.

This sounds great. Sega makes the best games anyway

Damn you Japan! Damn you all to hehahehahehahehalll! Do you know how long Ive waited for a TFA arcade game!? Now Ill have to fly all the way to Japan just to play it! Then, Ill probobly loose, then have to fly all the way back to the US knowing that Im too stupid to beat a game that I had to fly to the other side of the world just to play, only for it to haunt me for the rest of my life, then go on a homocidal rampage, then get the electric chair! Then Ill be dead, still thinking about that horrible day that I lost to a game that I had to fly around the world to play, and how many lives Sega could have saved if only they released it in the US. I blame you Sega! I blame you...
