Hasbro has posted on their site a series of four videos that explain the new rules to the soon to be released trading card game. The videos cover the deck building, explain how to read the stats on the card as well as all of the steps necessary to play and win the game. The videos can be viewed here. There is also a printable version of the rules if you would like to have them for reference. Now that we know how the gameplay works, what do you think of the game?
Actual gameplay will vary from gameplay shown. For full 2-player gameplay, each player puts together a team of Character Cards (up to 25 stars when stars on Character Cards are added together), and a deck of 40 or more Battle Cards. Click below for the Transformers TCG Rules.
With the AUTOBOTS Starter Set, 2 players can start playing the game with fewer cards, -or- 1 player can use this set for full gameplay. Players can add cards to their teams and decks with Booster Packs (each sold separately)

They're very thin in MTG, too. The "rules" (as such) are complimented by what the cards tell you to do, rather than having a rule structure filled with endless what-ifs.

The only thing I sort of dislike is how Attacking and Defending reveals cards from your deck -- it's just a bunch of variance. It would be fine, though, if there were Scrying or similar tutor skills. But you seem to burn through your deck pretty quickly if you keep to the 40-card minimum. I also adore how you can attack with one guy per turn. Then, you can sequence what you want your opponents to be able to attack.
Do we have any set spoilers?
I wonder if they'll allow me into tournaments with a playmat of Kiss Players Legion with his tongue hanging out...

Actually it reminds me of cardfight vanguard with its drive checks and the old warhammer 40000 cars game where dice rolls were sorted by revealing the top card of your deck.

We do also have a brief interview with the WoC rep who explained the set a little more (though not that much more than the videos show, now that I remember more of it), and showed us the Cosmos card - we're uploading everything slowly, but surely.
Would anyone like to see the SDCC exclusive card pack? In a pictorial review maybe?

Comparing it to MtG in terms of slim rules doesnt add up to me because
MtG has all in one deck:
lands
creatures
Spells
The play therefore encompases all aspects of building your economy, creatures and magic. Multiple different strategies are possible as a result ie direct damage rather than creature spam etc.
This Transformers game appears to be so simplistic you simply lay your chaps out before you start. No economy, no balancing deck construction between economy, control or brute force.
Ill be getting a set and seeing how it works in pracitce, its just from first glance it seems to me you would need to have very very involving game mechanics in terms of the fighting to keep the interest. Maybe the transforming mechanic will be it, but no guarantees.
I actually dont mind the 'draw for luck' system. In other games i have played that work like this (monst notably the Star Wars CCG from like 20 years ago) the most powerful cards (ie Vader) had the lowest luck values and vice versa, so you didnt just spam huge characters in general as it would mean you were always unlikely to hit a big luck draw when you needed it.

I’m actually pretty excited about these. I’ve done MtG on and off since Beta, but not for several years now, and I did Star Wars CCG from New Hope through to Jabba’s Palace. I’m not too confident that this will have the kind of longevity other CCG have had, but I’m anxious to see where it goes. I’m hoping it’s good. I’ve already got a couple empty black binders and several dozen empty card sleeves ready to go.

For those of us that have been speculating about the new Transformers Trading Card game we now have a list of what the Autobot Starter Set contains. You can find the list here. While this list does not show us any of the card text (Besides the image of Bumblebee//Brave Warrior) we can have a better idea of what deck structure will look like for the game.

People have expressed interest in the booster pack on offer at San Diego Comic Con for the new trading card game created by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast for Transformers (due out at retail in September 2018), so we took out the cards and did a brief pictorial rundown for all to check out - follow us below!
Packaging, front and rear, with nice Slipstream art. Each pack contains 2 character cards (foil, in this case) plus 2 battle cards.
Cardboard inserted to protect the cards.
Pack also includes a promotional gold foil card for the game, with Slipstream silhouette one one side.
Then the two and two cards, as described on packaging!
The two Battle cards feature IDW comics art each: All-out Attack & Tandem Targeting System.
First character card is Slipstream - one side in jet mode, one in robot mode. The robot mode art is foil, and each mode has a different ability.
Specs: Strategic Seeker - Plane - Ranged attack
robot mode ATT 3 HP 13 DEF 1 | alt mode ATT 3 HP 13 DEF 2
Second character card is Cliffjumper - one side in vehicle mode, one in robot mode. The robot mode art is foil, and each mode has a different ability.
Specs: Renegade warrior - Car - Ranged attack
robot mode ATT 5 HP 12 DEF 2 | alt mode ATT 5 HP 12 DEF 2

I noticed the card names are written in Cybertronian on the top right. That's a neat Easter egg right there.
Also, how to these cards feel in hand? Same as magic cards?
I think it would be a mistake not to have one. Its always been about Bots VS Cons. My guess is since the starter decks become available September 28, 2018 they will probably have some time to reveal a Decepticon deck before then.
Looking at most successful card games starter decks often come in pairs so that players can start with different decks. This is a good idea because the point of collectible card games are so that you can customize your deck rather than just play with preset cards. Facing different decks and choosing one that matches the player's style is very important. Especially when people feel they identify with the characters on the cards.
Magic players may remember how attached people got to their Ravnica guilds. The Return to Ravnica set saw record sales and event attendance too. While I doubt any cardgame could match that I think the principal is the same. Sorry if that's a ramble. I could use some sleep haha.

We are excited to bring you a spoiler list of the first booster set for the new Transformers Trading Card game. A big thank you to Nicorange for the tip. The notes at the top tell us 40 Character Cards and 81 Battle Cards are available in this upcoming release. This means that there are 121 cards total in this set. According to Hasbro most packs include a rare battle card but only 1 out of every 79 packs will contain a super rare.
There is a decklist for the Autobot Starter set if you would like to compare cards. We also have a pictorial review of the SDCC exclusive card set which gives us a good first look of these cards in hand to get a better idea about their design.
While the only card image included with the set spoiler is of Decepticon Shockwave // Cybertron Commander we now know which characters will be featured. Since this set won't be out until September 28th, 2018 we have lots of time to speculate what they do and hope for more card images with text. Did your favorite characters make it? If not who would you have liked to see?

I see a lot of characters from the comics. I am plesantly surprized by Deadlock, Chromia and Sunstorm. I did expect Wheeljack as he was featured in the video from SDCC (Though you already know I am stoked for him being included). I am a little confused by the inclusion of Darkmount. I had always thought Darkmount was a place but hey, if the planet can transform I suppose a fortress can too.
I'd also like to point out there is a list of credits at the bottom of the page that shows us who worked on the game.

Next up, we have Jetfire, boasting his Classics toy design.
Here we have the Matrix of Leadership, something all Transformer fans will be familiar with now.
Last up is Nemesis Prime, everyone's favourite black repaint!

. But otherwise these all look neat. Can’t wait to get my hands on them.

Hopefully they make some cards that allow you to discard your deck quickly then, or else it just becomes a neat novelty ability.

I'm quite liking his effect, I wonder how workable it is though to try and build around it

It's from the Facebook group, where a Mod found it on the Wizard's main site. I should hope that Trypticon is coming!

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.

I can't see how many stars metro is, though I think the team in that set at least is just him and his usual crew.
