Have the Character cards every escaped your binders and found play in your decks?
So far, only Megatron was "useable" in some of my decks.
Nemesis Scourge
Huh, totally missed that. Thank you.
Can't wait to have mine here.

PM me your address. I'll send you the common combiners. I have loads of them.
Pardon I cannot aid with the uncommon and rare ones as I am depleted on them.

Well so far I have…
1 Sentinel Enigma, Hot Rod, Prowl
1 Stunticon Enigma, 2 Motor masters
Silverbolt, Air Raid
Swoop
Rampage
The only combiner I actually have complete is of course the Constructicons cause it's easy to complete a combiner when they come in a box set.
So pretty much all of them cause currently I don't have any complete sets from booster packs. BTW I have attempted to use the ones I have… just without the ability to combine… they kinda suck on their own. I think the individual characters were mostly weakened to compensate for how powerful the combined forms are. The non-combiner cards take them out pretty quickly. I've also got a wave one Slag and he easily beats Combiner Swoop. They really weren't meant to be used as regular characters without combining.
It does kinda make sense. The Wave One Dinobots or any cards would never stand a chance against Volcanicus if the individual characters weren't weakened in some way… except maybe Metroplex…

@SaberPrime, which Combiner sets do you need to finish?
SaberPrime
I figure I'm going to pick up the set anyway because I could always use more damage counters. Plus every set that has been released so far has included an updated more comprehensive set of rules so I'd like to check that out as well.
I would however like to complete some of my combiner sets. I have a duplicate Motormaster I don't need as well and I'm not even folding the dupes in case anyone would prefer to keep them unfolded. My original Motormaster is folded along with the rest of my cards but Dupe is being kept safely unfolded in a separate case at home.
Carnage73
I have dupes of both Starscream & Megatron. Need any?
SaberPrime
I already have two Bumblebees and don't even really want multiples of the same character even if they are different cards with different abilities. But I don't already have a Starscream, Windblade, or more importantly… MEGATRON!
Chooch
That's better than the first starter set in that you can play Autobots vs. Decepticons. An affordable Windblade is also nice.

I doubt exclusive battle cards. It's a starter set, so I expect it to play simpler with the mechanics than Devastator and Metroplex.
