Via IGN, we update our reveal of the Blaster vs. Soundwave 35th Anniversary Edition set with a closer look at the contents which shows the differences between the convention edition (G1 artwork) and the upcoming retail version (modern artwork).
As promised by the TCG crew last week, the convention edition will be available at Comic-Con, Gen Con and PAX Unplugged. Bonus round: a non-randomized Convention Pack 2019 is touring the same circuit for $15 which features Omnibots Sergeant Overdrive, Private Downshift and Private Camshaft. This pack, along with the convention edition of the set, are expected to be available after Comic-Con on Hasbro Pulse.
Check out card galleries here, join the discussion on the 2005 boards and stay tuned for more Transformers-related Comic-Con updates as we await release of the program schedule!

In time. Probably sooner than later given how close they resemble certain molds Hasbro has been really trying to get out the door.

I’d like actual Omnibot toys.

Blaster should be a mandatory Voyager for next years WFC line. In fact there should be a pic of him at SDCC.

I love the TCG ( I am collecting most of the waves) but let’s be honest. Instead of getting plastic, highly engineered toys we are getting shiny cardboard. I hope there are better deals to be had than this.

They missed an opportunity not putting them each in a DJ booth with half a stage in the background.

Thing is, Blaster and Soundwave are going to be legal in the main format of the TFTCG. The Hascon Grimlock is silver bordered, meaning that it won't see play outside of friendlies or very lenient commander groups. I think that no-format legal cards like Grimlock get somewhat of a pass on being convention exclusives. This isn't a case like Nalathni Dragon, where the card was both exclusive to one event and legal.
