Transformers Trading Card Game

The Transformers Trading Card Game is a collectible card game in which players build teams of both Autobots and Decepticons to battle other players. The game was revealed in July 2018 by Wizards of the Coast where attendees of Gen-Con and SDCC were able to purchase an exclusive set-card pack.

The game uses simple mechanics in which players take turns doing a multitude of things, from drawing cards to flipping their character cards to their alt-modes. As of 2018, there are currently 40 Wave 1 character cards, 81 Wave 1 battle cards, 4 Starter set character cards, 1 Titan card, 3 Metroplex Deck character cards, and 3 Metroplex battle cards. A second wave, branded as "Rise of the Combiners" released on March 1st, 2019 and added new characters and battle cards, including Combiners that require multiple character cards to use. This wave consisted of 46 character cards, 81 battle cards, 1 Omega Supreme card (A Lootcrate Exclusive) and 1 Chinese New Year Bumblebee card(China pre order exclusive). A third wave branded as "War for Cybertron Siege I" based off of the toyline of the same name is set for June 28th with 48 character cards and 64 battle cards. This new wave includes a new card type in the form of battle masters and micromasters with the former having an upgrade type battle card form rather than a traditional alt mode.

Notes

• The artwork used on the cards originates from various sources. Character cards, for example largely reuse packaging art and character art from Transformers Legends, while the battle card artwork is sourced from the IDW comics. Beginning with Wave 2, some new cards such as Windblade: Combiner Hunter featured all new art. As of Wave 3, all battle card art is completely original while character cards remain a mix of reused packaging and Legends art, albeit with a much more generous portion of new art as well.
