Editing Transformers Cards

The '''Transformers Cards''' are cards containing barcodes to be used in the ''[[Transformers Animated: The Chase]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated: The Shooting]]'' arcade card-reading games. Most of the cards contain ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, but a few contain [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] characters, often based on their ''[[Masterpiece]]'' toys.

There are two variations of cards that can be obtained. The first uses images that are based on photos of the toys and can be bought at both machines themselves, the resulting card being random between [[Autobot]]s, [[Decepticon]]s, and Masterpiece. The second variation has "P" in their numbering system as part of "Promotion cards", using both character model and style guide artwork with the occasional tech specs, and can be found packaged with their respective toys, DVDs, and/or magazines.

As should be unsurprising, there are varying levels of rarity from those bought via the machines. Sega's site has the rating base from no stars to three stars. The majority of the cards are normal with no star; one star indicates "silver rare" with a silver shine; two stars indicates "gold rare" with a gold shine; and three stars is "master rare" with both gold and silver.

On [[October 15]], [[2010]], Sega has released a list of Card Version 2.0 at their site, featuring the same set of cards but with different poses using the game's graphics and backgrounds, as well including Transformers from the [[live-action film series]]. [[January 15]], [[2011]], saw the release of Card Version 3.0, changing the background to a computer-like grid of green lines against a black landscape while still using the game's graphics. The cards were again updated on [[March 3]], 2011, this time having the various characters in different poses. An interesting design on the 4.0 set is that when one card from ''The Chase'' is placed next to its ''The Shooting'' counterpart, it forms one large image - on ''The Chase'' cards, the Autobots' [[alternate mode|alt-mode]] be on the right side whereas the Decepticons will be on the left.
