50 cards per $15 box is not many cards? I remember card packs being more expensive growing up.

They have a lot of product now - RotB set, 3 pan-generational sets (mostly G1), various promo things, and now TF One product.Glyph wrote:Ah, cheers - trading cards are a closed book to me.

Edit: I think I found the TF One boxes here: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807604521125.html Roughly $15 per box if you buy the thing of 4 boxes. Only 50 cards per box in these though, blegh. Not sure what the significance of the different characters on the box is.

We have more images of the Transformers One cards. Turns out these are Chinese physical cards, some with holographic effect. While the Primes were the biggest news, since they were not clearly depicted in the film, it is nice to see other chars like Brawn, Sunstreaker and Ironhide. These characters have cogged and non cogged versions. There are a lot more cards than the ones shown below, as we can see from their indicated numbers. Hopefully the rest of the Primes subset will be found and shared.

You do know that you can post all of the pics in a single post if you embed them rather than attach them, right?

I attached rather than hotlink in case they disappear or change, so we have the images saved.
Also, I see @Csbiaoo has updated with more scans of the non-Prime bots, including:
Skywarp, Thundercracker, Slipstream and Redwing (UR set)
Wheeljack, Hound, Arcee & Jazz (SSR set)
Ironhide, Brawn, Moonracer & Firestar (SSR set)
Prowl, Sideswipe & Sunstreaker (SSR set)
Arcee, Jazz, Ironhide & Sideswipe (cog versions) (SSR set)
Mod(s), I don't want to keep cluttering up this thread with card scans - is there any gallery option we could do?

Just found Alpha Trion, Solus & Onyx Prime designs interesting enough to get theirStudio Series toys if they do come (or Yolopark AMK). I really wish, the future Autobots & Deceptions designs being mostly 'meh' but shiny, they did the reverse Star Wars prequels in deisgn ideology. In the SW prequels everything were nice & shiny, but SW IV-IX things got all grimy with exposed pipes, panels, etc. Wish the Primes had Aplha Trion's aesthetic.

I've collected the trading card pics into a separate thread, grouped by set for easier reference. It's a mix of onsite & offsite links atm - Mods, if you want to copy images to seibertron, I'll update the ones that still point to imgur.

The designs of the Primes in this movie are my favorites. I liked seeing how they don't feel as been-there-done-that as with almost every other robot in this film. I do hope we see them have larger roles like with Alpha Trion, like maybe Megatronus could be in conflict with Megatron for doing bad things while not liking Sentinel Prime either, or Quintus Prime helping Optimus find a way to destroy the Quintessons once and for all (if he did make them in this universe, that is)...assuming people would go out and financially support the movie instead of being stuck on social media rinse and repeating the same things in the fandom.

“it's unfortunate that a film that had such a great reception did so poorly. Especially when this is in the same brand where films that were panned by critics and fans made over a billion dollars”
Yeah, yeah, the lousy bayverse films. Panned by hack critics (who are just bitter, failed filmmakers, that only like artsy tranquilizers) and sanctimonious movie snobs (who believe everyone should agree with them because they are elitist, arrogant dopes).
God forbid there are people out there who like something you don’t.

A++ self awareness!
Besides, the quote was a statement of fact: the Bayverse films were broadly panned, and TF:One has had great reception from viewers & critics alike. Doesn't mean you're wrong to like the Bayverse films, if that's your thing. But it's a shame that TF:One is doing relatively poorly given how much the people who have seen it appear to like it.
Still waiting for it to open here on the 11th...

How does that work though?
I think the main factor is care/apathy. Everyone cared about the Bay movies. As for TF1, "no one" seems to care. It is unfortunate. Especially for a movie that is pure, timeless, and devoid of any "troll drama".

- TF1 is a movie that "everyone love" but no one get to see it.
- Most if not all Bay movies (at least the first 5) were "hated by everyone," but everyone went to see them.
- Only the Bee and ROTB movies were "fairly balanced" with love, hate, and attendance.

The Bay movies, by contrast, get a lot of flack for being "not very good" as movies, but still got major audiences by being big tentpole summer action movies. Cinema history since the 80s is pretty littered with brilliant flops and also "dumb popcorn action flicks" that still pull in big casual summer audiences! (Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe their US box office actually diminished as the series went on, but they made massively more money overseas, particularly in China)
I have no doubt that TF:One will be a "better" film than most of the Bayverse by most judgements, but it's also undeniably failed to connect with a big audience so far, and I suspect The Wild Robot will probably kill it dead in domestic box office. That probably has more to do with things like the marketing (I really don't think the initial trailer made a great first impression for general audiences, and you famously don't get a second chance at that), choice of release date (remember, all the other movies except BB came out in June/July and TF:One was supposed to come out in July but was delayed) and the staggered international opening, than it does with reviews or adjudged quality.

Because audience reviews come from the people who've already seen it, generally? "Not many people saw it, but the ones who did all loved it" is a valid sentence. I don't believe that critic reviews really tend to move the needle all that much among the general public, certainly not as much as word of mouth - but word of mouth requires enough people to have seen it in the first place to tell their friends...-Kanrabat- wrote:How does that work though?TF1 is a movie that "everyone love" but no one get to see it.

I made a montage to show the critics VS the money. Appart the 2007 movie and the ROTB movie, the audience and "pro" critics are fairly the same. (Bee is MIA)
What's impressive is that TF-One is a "perfect" movie, yet it is the poorest so far money-wise.
So I think my theory is correct. What matter most for a movie success is not whenever it is good or bad. It is MARKETING and PUBLIC INTEREST that decide it all.
I think what killed the interest in TF1 is the first trailer that made it too "kiddy" and the overall designs of the movie. If the first trailer would have had a nice balance between jokes and bad-ass moments, it would have made a big difference. But honestly, it is the overall design that didn't sit well. The faces are a bit too "human" (uncanny effect) and the overall look is too "cartoony." If the design would have been exactly like the intro sequence of the Bee movie, that would have changed everything.
Let's not forget that the Bay movies will soon be VINTAGE and a whole generation grew with the Bay designs. These designs are nostalgic for a huge portion of the fanbase. This doesn't make me any younger...

I think there are two other factors to consider: Animation and the franchise
Animation: Unfortunately, a lot of people in the U.S. don’t respect animation as a medium and view animated movies as “kids movies.” While I think the Spider-Verse films have been huge for the public perception of animation, it’s still something a lot of people look down on.
The franchise: Againx unfortunately, most people know of the franchise because of the movies. So when most people see that a Transformers movie is coming out, they don’t think about G1, Animated, or Prime Transformers, they think about the Michael Bay movies. Which makes this movie kind of doomed for failure. The people who don’t like the Bat movies won’t go see it because they think it’ll be like the Bag movies, and the people who do like the Bay movies may not go see it because it’s very different from the Bay movies.

You're right on both accounts. Still, this all factor in the overall interest.
That's why I think that indeed, the fact that TF1 is too "cartoony" without the Disney, Pixar, or Dreamworks name, it was detrimental. If the CGI would have been Bay-Bee "realistic," the movie would have had much more success.
