“With the Transformers trading card game, we can be nimble,” he says.
The game hasn’t been formally announced yet, but C o c k s says it’s a title aimed both at young teens and the collector and toy audience. It will come out in September or October. “We think Transformers are cool and the game has interesting, unique mechanics,” he says. “All cards are two-sided, over-sized and feel bigger, weightier in your hand.” C o c k s says the game has a relatively light learning curve, but a lot of depth. “It should take one or two times to understand how to play,” he says.
The game, which has a unique rule set, is built around two decks. One of the decks is a hero deck and the other is a powers and abilities deck used to “amp up heroes.” The strategy around play, he says, is to choose the right hero with the right abilities and powers. They’re also considering making a digital version of the game, once it launches, depending on how it is received. “Transformers will be brand new to Wizards.”

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
Tyrannacon wrote:XD Yeah. I know! I kept trying to figure a way around it and this was suggested to me by Va'al. So I did and it worked.
Tyrannacon wrote:Also, yeah, the artwork for the preview stuff does seem to be Transformers Legends. I feel like I've seen that Optimus Prime artwork on his Power of the Prime toyline card too or something similar.

Duuude. I loved that game - or more that I loved TNG and treated them more like collectibles than a card game. I stopped collecting when they went to V2, though. But have a ton of those sets in my storage.
WreckerJack wrote:There are always niche communities that will play and collect the cards. I'm sure that at Transformers conventions there will be people who play. I'd say if you like the TF card game then play it and seek others who play to grow the game. But also don't be too surprised if it doesn't work out.

Hopefully the card game will be cool/fun, but I'd 100% rather see a Heroclix/Mechwarrior: Dark Age type collectable figure based game come out though.
