Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers Hikuzohkun PP Card (ビーストウォーズII超生命体トランスフォーマーひくぞーくんP.Pカード Beast Wars II: Chō Seimeitai Transformer Hikuzohkun P.PCard) is one of the PP Card[1] series of collectible cards published by Amada. They were sold in two formats: one a mystery pack of eleven cards and one a mystery pack of thirty-four cards.
The packs of eleven cards are labeled Hikuzohkun (ひくぞーくん "Lets draw!-boy"). In such a pack, ten cards are stored individually in paper bags that are bound in the manner of a tear-off calendar. The idea is for a group of children to buy one pack and take turns tearing off a bag to acquire the card inside, with the nominal winner of the experience being the one who draws the pack's mystery prism card (プリズムカード). The eleventh card of the pack is a second prism card, which is attached clearly visible to the front of the pack as the one non-mystery purchase. The packs of thirty-four cards aren't labeled Hikuzohkun although they are meant for the same style of play, just with more cards. These packs contain thirty normal cards, three prism cards, and one extra prism card attached to the front as the one non-mystery purchase. As the entire PP Card collection contains only forty-two different cards, doubles are to be expected, which in turn promotes trading among children to bring together a full set.
The normal cards come in four variants. The first sixteen cards cover the Beast Wars II cartoon's starter cast and display the respective toys' package art. Cards #17 to #28 cover the same characters minus the Autorollers and utilize the characters' profile art. Cards #29 to #31 are for the factions of Cybertron, Destron, and Autorollers and use the package art again. The final five normal cards align with the five Taiketsu two-packs and therefore also make use of the package art. The prism cards constitute a set of six cards numbered #S1 to S6. These cards together form one full image of Cybertron in the center, the Maximals to left, and the Decepticons to the right. All of the cards feature bios on the back.
