Toy Clash! Roboca Battle is a 2020 card-based arcade game developed by TakaraTomy A.R.T.S.. A spin-off of Transforming Bullet Train Robot Shinkalion: Get the card! Super Shinka Battle, Roboca Battle serves as a crossover between Transformers: Cyberverse and two other TakaraTomy-developed shows about transforming robots: Transforming Bullet Train Robot Shinkalion and Tomica Bond Combination Earth Granner. Similar to the Transformers Cards used by previous arcade games, players summon characters in the game through use of collectible cards that can be scanned on the arcade cabinets.
Gameplay
As with its predecessor Super Shinka Battle, Roboca Battle revolves around a rock/paper/scissors system, with each "battle card" featuring a power level, rarity, and one of three attack "types". Players summon three robot heroes at a time, each of which will attack before grouping some stock art together teaming up for a finishing move.
As well as battle cards, "support cards" that add some additional effect to the game can also be used; additionally, the Core Granner Tomica toys can be scanned for an even greater support effect. [1]

Notes
- As you may have noticed, despite being marketed as a three-way crossover, Transformers only forms a tiny fraction of the available cards, with only Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and (in one case) Megatron actually appearing, compared to the wealth of Earth Granner and Shinkalion characters. A testament to Transformers' Japanese market share, perhaps?
