Top Trumps is a type of card game produced by Winning Moves UK Ltd. Each pack consists of a number of cards with a series of statistics on each. Players get a randomised set of cards, and the active player reads one of the stats from their top card. The player with the highest value for that stat on their top card wins, and collects all of the top cards for that round.
Unsurprisingly Transformers lends itself to being adapted to this concept.
Transformers (2007)
A pack of Top Trumps was released in 2007 to tie in with Transformers. Each card has six statistics (power, height (m), disguise, heart, courage, mission), a brief description of the character or object, and an image of the subject.
Cards
- Autobots
- Decepticons
- Humans
- Misc
Notes
- Blackout has the least power of all the Decepticons.
- Ron and Judy Witwicky are both braver than Optimus Prime and Megatron.
- In fact, Megatron has the lowest courage score in the game, and is therefore more cowardly than Glen Whitman.
- Miles is more powerful than Sam and Mikaela.
- The picture used for Donnelly is not Zack Ward.
- Frenzy's alternate mode is a tape deck instead of a CD player.
Revenge of the Fallen
A second pack was released in 2009, to tie in with Revenge of the Fallen. This pack included special markings on the back of selected cards which, combined with a webcam and some 3D software downloadable from the Top Trumps website, could provide an interactive experience. This time around, the six statistics given are "Height (ft)", "Firepower", "Disguise", "Speed", "Bravery" and "Intelligence".
Cards
- Autobots
- Decepticons
- Humans
- Other
Cards marked with * have 3D markings
Notes
- The Autobots having separate cards for their vehicle and robot modes leads to some oddities, such as Ironhide actually being one point faster in robot mode, and Optimus Prime's intelligence going up one point when he turns into a truck.
- Wheelie is shown in his toy truck mode, unlike the other Decepticons who are all in robot mode.
- In general, the height for returning characters is consistent with the first set, though in feet rather than metres.
- The AllSpark shard is 3 feet tall. It's also smarter than Sam and Mikaela.
- Megatron's description refers to him being frozen in ice and not dead.
- N.E.S.T stands for Non-biological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty, as in The Last Prime.
