TFW2005 member HeroicC300 is on site at this weekend’s PAX Unplugged Energon Invitational in Philadelphia and scored the following recon straight from the source, Transformers Trading Card Game Brand Manager Drew Nolosco, prior to the start of today’s festivities:
- Drew wants Mini-Cons in the game
- Common Ultra Magnus? Possible, Magnus will return at some point
- He loves Hearts of Steel and agreed that it could give Boat/Train support
- He gave some agreement – no promises – to the idea of Steamhammer appearing as a train despite being a construction vehicle most of the time
- Wave 7 by next PAX? “Probably.”
- Construction as a subtype unlikely, might be tanks and trucks

So you also saw me apologizing to Drew twice.
Flipside; I met Vangelus at PAX and it was awesome!

I saw a W3 Megs and Cog, so all SRT's were present!

Each player got three packs of Wave 3 and three packs of Wave 4. There were 165 participants. A total of 495 pack per set were handed out (total of 990 packs/33 boxes between both sets combined).

How many packs of each were used for Sealed? In case I want to buy the same number and replicate building a sealed team.

Chatted with Drew
So the few noteworthy tidbits before he had to go tourney.
-He wants Mini-Cons in the game, I told him he was "halfway there" with the Micromasters and that he might have the same train of thought I did
-Common Ultra Magnus? Possible, Magnus will return at some point
-He loves Hearts of Steel and agreed that it could give Boat/Train support
-Mentioned the idea of Steamhammer appearing as a train despite being a construction vehicle most of the time. Some agreement, no promises, whatever happens does happen
-Wave 7 by next PAX? "Probably"
-Construction as a subtype unlikely, would be tanks and trucks depending
Wasn't really an interview, but things he mentioned before the EI started.
