Generate javascript bundles in ASP.NET MVC 5 without npm

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 project created in Visual Studio 2017 which uses Vue.js and ES6.

Is there a way to transpile and minify javascript files without using npm and maybe using some Visual Studio extensions and/or some nuget package(s)?

All solutions that I found use gulp with brawserify or webpack and I don't want to use any of those tools.

Edit: The below only works for minification of bundles. I missed the requirement of transpiling the *.vue files.

In BundleConfig.cs add System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; bool BundleTable.EnableOptimizations {get; set;}"Gets or sets whether bundling and minification of bundle reference is enabled."

public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{ 
    bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundlesjquery").Include(
       "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js",
       "~/Scripts.jquery.validate*"));

    System.Web.Optimization.BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true;
}

The problem is that I use .vue templates and es6 modules, files which need to be first transpiled and then minified
