Another set of Transformers trading cards and mini-figures is available now from Chinese manufacturer Kayou, this time in a 40th anniversary themed set that was revealed at Cybertron Con and released just before Christmas of last year.

The set is a limited production run, with 36,000 Energon-cube inspired boxes available, each including six packs of five cards each and one mini-figure with its own paired card included. There are 12 of these mini-figures available through these blindboxes, featuring Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock and Megatron in regular, metallic and gold decos. The base set, including the paired figure cards, contains 101 cards with an additional 21 chase cards.

Another purchase option is a larger boxed set, limited to 6,666 copies produced. This includes two of the smaller boxes described above, alongside a third yellow Energon Cube box that contains another five packs of cards plus one of the four mini-figures in a clear deco. It's also packed with loads of extras, including a large foil print of the 1984 box art, a gold or silver metal Optimus Prime card, either an Autobot or Deception themed card brick (display stand), one of three SCR cards unique to the large box, and an additional set of 28 cards featuring G1 toy box art that also aren't found in the regular packs.

These cards are available through many sellers on Aliexpress including Kayou's flagship store. Some PR cards (aka promotional cards) are also available, though as of this writing it is not known how to obtain these cards in the west outside of hoping for listings on the secondary market.

While slightly more difficult to obtain for much of this website's readership, this set provides a high quality alternative to the other recently released trading card set from Dynamite Entertainment. I've bought a good amount of these already and while the odds are extremely low of landing the USR or XR chase cards, limited to 399 and 199 serialized copies of each, respectively, even the base set is a real treat to collect and organize. I've posted a picture of one of my pages of the box art cards below.
