More Images of Wizards of the Coast Transformers Trading Cards

This is shaping up to be quite fun! I wonder why Ramjet appears to be the only character without any effects?

Uh, no, it's definitely blank. You can even see the background behind where the text would be. Plus the other photos from there down appear to be taken by the same person and the text shows up perfectly clear on all of them. Plus plus there's no sign of flash glare on the cards, they appear to be taken under normal room lighting. Plus plus plus that's not the only blank card, the Ironhide, Red Alert, "Primary Laser" and "Armor Plating" cards are also blank.

More scans incoming, straight out of GenCon and a few other sources. All of these are taken from the Facebook group:























^ Instant friggin' staples











Spicy. Spicy indeed.

I definitely see some wildman art on a couple cards

Ah so ramjet isn't an anomaly then as others are also "vanilla" I wonder if they'll be new versions of them in later sets that have different stats? Assuming the game makes it that far of course

Probably. We already have two Optimus, two Bumblebee, two Megatron, two Starscream... We know we're gonna get a few of the same character just from the virtue of having a set list. But I think they might've hit the nail on the head for his character already, seeing as there's not too much to write home about him. XD

I used to. buy Pokemon cards a lot, but then I stopped because I grew bored of it, however I still wanna collect cards, and holy crap these are beautiful. Can't wait till we see the Jazz card!

ZeroWolf wrote:Ah so ramjet isn't an anomaly then as others are also "vanilla" I wonder if they'll be new versions of them in later sets that have different stats? Assuming the game makes it that far of course

That is pretty much it. In the Starter set there is Optimus Prime // Autobot Leader but the booster has Optimus Prime // Battlefield Legend. This is done so they can reuse characters but also differentiate the cards and effects. They do this in a lot of card games, for instance in magic there are planeswalker characters that get different titles like Jace Beleren is featured on many different cards but they give him a different title. Jace The Mindsculptor does something very different from Jace, Memory Adept.

This also helps the company reuse characters in the case of set rotations if things wind up working out really well. I also wonder if they will make the cards from all the different shows, it would be cool to have some guys from TFA and TFP in their own art style. I'm probably jumping the gun here but there are so many posibilites here.

I like how they are using some of the Art from that "card game" app from a few years ago. I loved the art from that game (though the "3d" aspect was my favorite).

Sunstorm is not a GameStop exclusive, he was supposed to be a reveal that you could only find on GameStop related sites and social medias

What's up Seibertron it's me, ya boi, back at it again with them HOT LEAKS











^ Apparently the man who was holding the card was an official of some sort who expressly asked that the photographer not take a photo of the stars at the bottom of Chop Shop, or leak the star count. Sad, but understandable.







Blurry images that shows us what Kup looks like since that's all he's good for.



Hound is just

I recently found out that the perosn who had the Chop Shop didn't actually mean to not show the stars, and a WOTC staff recently came out and said that the actual star count was 6. This makes Chop Shop actually quite good, indeed.

But now... More cards. MORE. MOAR.





^ For reference.











These cards are just so much gas. Who's ready for the Dinobot meta? XD

So a dinobot deck and a insecticon deck...I'm sold on both Can't wait to see how they handle combiners...and the eventual beast wars decks. The expansions are writing themselves.

Following on from our reveal of more cards from the Wizards of the Coast's Official Transformers CCG (which you can see again here). We have even more cards to show you, courtesy of fellow Seibertron user, #Sideways#, we have even more cards to show you! Fresh from Gencon.

Of note is we see more Dinobots and more insecticons and a couple of battle cards to help the two teams be a real force to be reckoned with.

Do these reveals give you any ideas for competitive decks? Don't forget to drop in on the forums to discuss these reveals!

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more updates when we get them!

I've gotta say that, while I don't plan to buy the game, the usage of the 'Deluxe Insecticons' is a very refreshing thing to see.

We're only missing Venom now I believe?

IM JUST WANTING THIS MORE AND MORE!

this seems like a Yu-Gi-Oh! style card game
is there like a play you can do if you have all combiner team members to unite them?

As far as revealed there is no combiner teams yet but who knows what the future brings...

Last GenCon leaks/reveals. It'll be a skinny minute whilst the Wizards staff settles back into the swing of things, but I'm certain more leaks are on their way!

Anyway, here you go:



Robot: "When this is attacking --> Flip extra battle cards equal to his [Defense]."

Tank: "When you flip to this mode --> Draw a card for each of your other Tanks."

This thicc boi is going to be so hard to remove from the field, and he's gonna hit even harder. With a Flamethrower, though, you'll be flipping around eight-ish cards a turn if you flip a white card.





I absolutely adore this art for Arcee. Prime Arcee is the best, and this combines Prime with G1 and I'm just

Five points is nuts, and she hits like a dang truck. Hopefully other Motorcycles will be five points as well, and judging from Flamewar, we're just one more reveal from a pattern.



Hey, look, another great draw card!

Thanks for these #Sideways# I'll get a new post written up for them! It sure is nice though to see Armada and Prime getting some attention.

Just glad to do my part! I am following it very closely. It looks like a super fun game, despite some innate RNG.

And yeah, the world needs more Unicron Trilogy in its life. Whereas Prime is probably my favorite in terms of plotline and storytelling, UT had so much innovation in it.

(And not just because of my namesake. lol)

Following on from the recent batches of card reveals from Gencon (Here and here!) We have the last few cards to be revealed at the gaming convention courtesy of fellow Seibertron user #Sideways#.

This time the reveal focuses on two different characters, Decepticon Demolisher and Autobot Arcee. We also have a look at a very useful looking upgrade card, that will certainly some play.

Demolisher:



Here's Demolisher's effect, for those who wish to know.

Bot mode: "When this is attacking --> Flip extra battle cards equal to his [Defense]."

Alt mode: "When you flip to this mode --> Draw a card for each of your other Tanks."

A very Prime looking Arcee (Bot mode):


Arcee (Alt mode)



Data Bank:



So will these be making their way into your decks when the game hits? Let us know in the forum and stay tuned to Seibertron for more transformers related news!

A tad disappointed that there dosn't seem to be any original art so far, just reused from the legends card game.

Probably waiting to see how well it does before commissioning more art...

Plus there's a lot of good art there that is just going to waste so, may as well make use of it.

Fair, but keep in mind: It keeps costs down. Less upstart costs = Less money to make back, and when you have less overhead, it's easier to be greenlit for future expansions.

I thought it was weird that they used the WfC/FoC design of Demolisher. Then I was the Arcee. Some sort of mix of the IDW and Prime iterations.

Must have used ebay as a reference to misspell Demolishor like that.

ScottyP wrote:Must have used ebay as a reference to misspell Demolishor like that.

The original Legends card also called him Demolisher and it appears to have been retconed that the UT character is Demolishor and the G1 character is Demolisher since the Kreon that came out at the same time used the Demolishor name. It's always interesting fans come up with excuses for errors and turn them into canon. (Or is that fanon?)

You know, you just made me very paranoid that I spelt his name wrong in the post

I still want a Generations toy of this design

There are so many awesome designs from those games and they did so little with them. The Insecticons, Warpath, Ironhide, the rest of the Dinobots, FoC Megs and so in...
I would buy them all

Sadly I think the time has come and gone for that, at least through official channels.

Yes, I had hope while Thrilling 30th because they released FoC Skywarp and Thundercracker but sadly no other new Moldawien/characters.

If it could work for Scattorshot I'd say "yeah, cool", but since it can't I agree that it's error fixing via retcon

Seriously ?
It looks very plain/uninspired to me.
Looks like something I could have drawn.

The original mode is way better and really more distinctive..

It's a pretty clever design really. He actually transforms backwards with his chest being made from the back of the turret and the top of the tank forming the arms and the canons going on his back. It's a creative solution that reverses the more common tank transformations. It's still fairly simple, but would make for a good Deluxe.

Papa Sideways bringing the scans, hot off the grill!



I suppose this confirms Shockwave is going to get some love when it comes to hand disruption, seeing as you'll be putting cards into your opponent's hand to discard them. But still, I'm not quite sure how good hand disruption is in this game judging from all the draw we've seen.

Where did you get this picture from #sideways#?

The "Transformers Trading Card Game" Facebook group has Wizards of the Coast employees in it. They post spoilers occasionally. This one in particular was posted by a guy named Drew (I think; gotta find his post real quick).

EDIT: Yeah, Drew Nolosco to be specific.

Thanks! It's just so I know in future

We've got two pieces of news on the Official Transformers Trading Card game to share.

The first is another Question and Answer session from the Transforms Official Trading card game Instagram account, dealing with a few basic questions about the forthcoming Wizards of the Coast Transformers Trading Card Game! One of the questions asked however is the identity of two of the rarest cards in this first set, and they are Nemesis Prime// Dark Clone and Bumblebee// Legendary Warrior, both being Super Rare.













The second, comes from the Transformers Trading Card game group on Facebook, and is brought to our attention from fellow Seibertron user #Sideways#. This is the reveal of Shockwave's Alt mode in the Trading Card game and it's effect. This is the latest in a series of card reveals, as reported here and here!.



This helps to further cement Shockwave as having abilities to strengthen hand control.

Let us know in the comments what you think of Shockwave and if you are going to be playing this game when it launches!

Stay tuned to Seiberton for more news and reviews!

Anybody else notice it says 2019 for release year.

Good eye! That's certainly wrong, as I would have to wonder what they would spend the next year doing as everything looks ready to go now. Guess someone just put the wrong year in. We're all human after all

ZeroWolf wrote:This helps to further cement Shockwave as having abilities to strengthen hand control.

Makes sense. He only has one hand. I'm sure he has found a way to maximize his use of it.
