Transformers Character Card

When longtime TakaraTomy partner e-HOBBY returned to the Transformers brand sans action figures in 2022, the crown jewel of its extensive line of ancillary Transformers merchandise was Transformers Character Card, a series of trading cards providing bios and tech specs for characters from across the brand with a particular focus on characters from e-HOBBY's own exclusive Transformers fiction as well as on Generation 1 characters never before seen in Japanese markets such as the Action Masters and late-wave Pretenders. While largely summaries of existing fiction, these bios occasionally provide supplemental story tidbits in the interests of fleshing out more obscure characters.
