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'm happy that Sunstorm and the Deluxe Insecticons are getting some love. Although, one has to wonder, where is Venom?

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.

Some of my favorite artists from the comics worked on this. Nick Roche, Sara Pitre-Durocher, and Alex Milne to name a few!

I think by Darkmount they mean Straxus, as that is what the Generations toy was called.

So Shockwave will lend himself to a hand control type deck eh? Logical choice

I don't want to burst the bubble here, but it may be the case that those people haven't directly worked on the game, just that their art is featured on the cards! I'm not saying this is for sure, just a heads up.

Yeah that was what I meant, didn't phrase it right I suppose. I would consider contributing artwork working on the game. But yeah, the WotC staff are the ones responsible for developing the actual gameplay and cards.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Nicorange, we have reveals of four new cards for the official Transformers trading card game, after the list of cards present in the sets we previously reported on here, this time showing the images for those cards.

First up we have Sludge of the Dinobot! Or just Dinobot Sludge as Wizards of the Coast have dubbed him.

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!

Check out https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/tradingcardgame for more details about this forthcoming game from Wizards of the Coast, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more updates when we get them!

Looks like you swapped around Nemesis and Jetfire’s pictures

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

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

So will Booster Packs for the game be 3/4 full of Bumblebee like packs for the toylines?

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

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!

Re: Transformers Trading Card Game Set Spoiler List and Details (1975517)
Posted by WreckerJack on July 31st, 2018 @ 5:04am CDT

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.

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.

I bet these would work. Though they may be hard to come by.

How do you get Sunstorm from Game Stop? Just ask or do you have to buy a deck with him in it?

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.

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

Re: Transformers Trading Card Game Set Spoiler List and Details (1976116)
Posted by #Sideways# on August 2nd, 2018 @ 6:45pm CDT

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 :michaelbay:

Re: Transformers Trading Card Game Set Spoiler List and Details (1976527)
Posted by #Sideways# on August 4th, 2018 @ 5:09pm CDT

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

Re: Transformers Trading Card Game Set Spoiler List and Details (1976528)

So a dinobot deck and a insecticon deck...I'm sold on both :-P

Can't wait to see how they handle combiners...and the eventual beast wars decks. The expansions are writing themselves.
