Transformers Trading Card Game

After the launch of the War for Cybertron Trilogy in toy form, its character models and design sensibilities soon filtered into other Transformers media, first with the 2019 ongoing comic book and later with the Netflix-original cartoon on the horizon. It's no surprise, then, that Wizards of the Coast's Transformers Trading Card Game also adopted some of War for Cybertron's conventions, beginning with its third wave, entitled "War for Cybertron: Siege I". While broadly following the same ranking system as the toyline, the card game has its own idiosyncrasies: for starters, the actual insignias are not used, and while each character receives a division and rank, units are usually absent. Each character also receives a function; for example, Optimus Prime's Siege I card is named "General Optimus Prime – Infantry · Leader", where "Leader" is his function.
