Fellow Seibertronians #Sideways# and Nicorange are currently following the slow tease of more information about the Trading Card Game that Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have been developing for Transformers, and after deck reveals, booster packs, new images and the such, we seem to also have another pre-made deck for the Autobot side - featuring Metroplex!
The deck also features Scamper, Six-Gun, and Slammer, plus some special battle cards to use with this first enormously oversized Titan foil card, and lends itself to speculate that once the Decepticon side is brought into the game we'll be seeing some giant purplesaur too. Check out the image of the deck in packaging below, and let us know what you think!

Well, that looks OP. I don't think they mentioned titan cards in the rules.

Yeah 35 health looks mental, unless he is like 15 / 20 stars or something.
On the deck cycling, i think decks will cycle quickly as you draw when battling. May be more about having a deck full of cards to keep your characters alive whilst waiting for the deck to cycle.

So for people who collect these things, where to get get card sheets to hold this extra large cards?

Depending on the actual card size something like a document protector for a full sized sheet of paper will probably work.

They make toploaders for cards this big. But oddly, not for the regular "medium" character cards.

Don't quote me on it but it may work like one of those deals where you buy so many boosters and then they give him to you (or maybe it's for participating in a tournament, but I think it's more you buy from them, they give to you)
The more I see this the more I want to play, but the more I lament that I'll probably have no one to play with...

We have an update from GenCon 2018, the gaming convention currently taking place in Indiana, which concerns the Transformers Trading Card Game being developed by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast: apparently, booster sets and decks have been opened and shown, and are probably for sale at the event, meaning that the cards contained in the packs have been photographed and shared on various platforms, including Imgur. We get to see Optimus Prime, Megatron, Cosmos, Sun Storm (which is apparently an exclusive of some kind), Jetfire in both modes, previously seen cards and assorted Battle Cards, including the SDCC exclusives first shown here.
Check the river of mirrored images below, and let us know what you think of the game so far.

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.

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

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 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

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!

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.
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!

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.

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.

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?)

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
