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.

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.

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

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.

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.
