Mega Cards

Transformers Mega Cards is a Transformers-themed card game released in Brazil by Grow to tie-in with the release of the first live-action Transformers film in 2007.

Gameplay

The game includes 33 cards of which 16 represent Autobot characters and the other 16 represent Decepticon characters, with an extra card representing both factions. Despite this, all cards have an Autobot side and a Decepticon side. Each card has three stats (Hit, Strenght and Transformation) with different values for each faction. Each of the five Autobots and five Decepticons featured have three cards for themselves, each with unique stats and artwork. The players must decide who will side with the Autobot stats and who will side with the Decepticon stats before starting a match.

The gameplay itself is much similar to that of Top Trumps in which a player uses one card at a time to battle another player, except in this game the Autobot player is always the one who chooses the stats. To counter this advantage, some cards feature a "TF" icon that allows the Decepticon player to block the first choice of the Autobot player, who then proceeds to choose another stat before the values are revealed. The player with the higher value takes both cards and then the gameplay repeats itself until someone wins by collecting all the cards.

This game can be played by two people or by four people in pairs, with the rules changing slightly depending on the number of players.

Notes

• As was very common for movie merchandise at the time, Megatron is depicted with his reject head design instead of the approved design used in the movie. A head shot of the rejected design also appears in the front of the packaging.
