Transport System is the sixth level of R-Type, an area that pilots will have to travel through between The Den and City in Ruins. This is a claustrophobic area, and large transports, known as Dops, will make some corridors completely impassible until they leave. There isn't a proper boss here, but instead pilots will have to contend with a horde of Dops. Sometimes it's called a Dops Rush (similar to the Zub Rush in the Gradius Series).

In R-Type Tactics and R-Type Tactics II, an re-enactment of this level was made, although the player will fight through this level as a Bydo in the latter game.

PC-Engine

In the PC-Engine port of R-Type this stage does have a boss after beating the Dops Rush: Yashoo. It will forward to the screen to fight a boss. As this play-through shows, Yashoo is similar to the boss in the Real Stage 2 from Image Fight.
