Help IDing a Arcade Game

[Sunnyvale]

It was a late 80's game. Featured 2 player simultanious play, and was a side-scrolling fighter. You were a ninja fighting against Russian invaders (seems the music repeatedly said 'communist'), and when you took damage, it was revealed that you were a cyborg, as bits of metal and robot parts started showing. When you were almost dead, you were just a robot. Anyone remember this game, and what was it called? Damn, I want to play it!
