Mystery of Comvoy actually has an IPS translation patch for English that's listed here. I know that's not technically what you were asking for, but I thought I would bring it up just in case you didn't know about and actually felt like playing through the game (for whatever morbid reason) to find those screens or combing through the patched version with a hex editor for what you're looking for.
(Edit: Clearly skimming skills and me being awake early in the morning didn't go well together.)

It says right there on that page that the ending isn't translated.
Anyways omedeto means "congratulations". So that's one down. |

That sounds like some code to enter in a contest.
Where did this ROM come from, anyway? That might give us a clue. |

I've heard that Gradius Archimendes Hen was a promotional deal with a brand of instant ramen. Don't know any more than that, though.
It's cool to finally see a screenshot of the ending of the Archimendes version, I'd been wondering if the ending sequence was changed. |

As for this text of holder, don' So it is; t before we burn final ROMs, has forgotten that it changes that. Or I presume, everyone does this, it has gone. Sexual intercourse, what which does not order my fried egg.

Yeah the ending isn't translated.
I don't know what that patch translates anyway since the only text in the game is in the ending. |

| I think the patch just translated the title screen. I seem to remember at the time, no one knew how to beat the game cause the last level was like Super Mario Bros world 4-4, where you had to take a certain path through the stage. |

Second to last level. :D
I can't remember if it was the authors just Whirlpool just assumed it was an endless game (1986 was probably about the tail end of the era when it was common for games to loop endlessly).
So I hear Sky Shark was an actual example of an endless game, and would loop the final level.
I suck and never got far into the second level, at best. |

If I remember correctly, the game loops back to stage 1 again, but you never notice it's stage 1 until you realize you've been there 5 more times. |

Okay, so the first screen read: "Magnus won the last battle. However, new battles are lurking right around the corner." The yuke rodimus part makes no sense to me. You can't even write rodimus with Japanese script, so no idea there. Yuke is probably defeat, though, but hard to say without the kanji.
Second screen reads: "Urgent Orders." Then the rest confuses me. I got some of it, but better to wait for someone who knows Japanese better. So hard to read Japanese without Kanji or at least kana; best left to the Japanese. At least you have the first screen, kinda. |

Well, my japanese is barely enough to read menu options, but my less limited Transformers knowledge may help a bit here.

Rodimus Prime is the leader of the good guys (used to be called Hotrod, but changed his name when he succeeded Optimus Prime on the movie), so I'd guess "yuke" would mean something like "go" there. "Comvoy" is a misromanization of Convoy, which Wikipedia tells me is Optimus' japanese name, so Rodimuscomvoy is probably how they dealt with the name change in Japan.
Ultramagnus, the game's protagonist, is a member of Rodimus' team; "Destorons" (or Destrons) are lackeys of the movie's bad guy, and "enerugon" (energon) is a fictional power source on the TF universe. Hope this helps. |

mostly right
basicly its saying that ultra magnus is not the real new autobot leader, that hotrodimus is the real leader. (rodimus prime in english)
once you beat the game you can play through it as rodimus (who is just a sprite swap of magnus. |
