it was mostly a bandaid of hype to tide people over until the Amiga Sidecar was ready, which was essentially a full 8086 pc in an add on box. IIRC it used some rather expensive dual-port ram as the interface between the two systems by which the PC side's display and basic I/O could be merged into the Amiga UI. This later became the rather more elegant full ISA compatible Bridgeboard used in the 2000 series Amigas. I am fairly sure a comparable x86 software emulation solution existed for the contemporary Mac of the days, called MacCharlie, which like the software-based Amiga Transformer was useless for anything other than a proof of concept demo.
