Via boardgamegeek.com we have our first images of the packaging, as well as an official description, of the new Transformers Deck Building Game by Renegade Game Studios.
We had previously reported that Renegade Game Studios had extended their partnership with Hasbro in order to manufacture board and card games. Now we can confirm that their first product is a new G1 Transformers Deck Building Game. A deck-building game is a card game or board game where construction of a deck is a main element of gameplay. Unlike other card games, the cards are not sold in randomized packs, all of them come in one single pack for you to build your best deck.
Price and released date of this game are yet to be revealed, but you can check the packaging images and the official product description after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Board!

Description
Transform and roll out!
The Autobots are brave robot warriors hailing from the planet Cybertron. Their mission? To stop the Decepticons from enacting their evil schemes on Earth.
In Transformers Deck-Building Game, you take on the role of one of the mighty Autobots. Travel and explore the Matrix and transform between your different modes as you gain allies, find relics, and acquire technology to do battle with the Decepticons. But be warned! As your deck grows, more powerful Decepticons will rise up to challenge you.
Transformers Deck-Building Game can be played competitively or as a co-operative experience. This core set will begin your collection with everything needed to play, but the battle is far from over as playable Decepticons are on the way to expand your game.

Wait, Snarl is a pre-order bonus in a set that's specifically themed around the Dinobots?
Corn Viper
Man I loved card games as a kid. I might get into this!
GrimLocke
I woulda been over the moon if this included the Combaticons, but instead I’m just ecstatic!
I’m still not entirely thrilled at how much a full set of Renegade TF TTRPG books is gunna cost, but I gotta do that, too, eventually.
Also, I guess the Predacons are coming, so I hope that means there will also be a an oversized card for SkyLynx, too.

I don't know about new fans but I got into the series with Armada in 2002 which predates the first live-action movie by about 4 years. As for the Transformers TCG, Covid played a hand by killing any in-person events and Wizards is notorious for canceling any card game that isn't doing Magic-level sales numbers which is extremely unrealistic.
As for the game itself I've played it and while I made a few misplays I generally enjoyed the game but I admit I'm predisposed to liking it as I enjoy deckbuilders like Legendary. As for the artwork it's a mix of original and repurposed artwork from the IDW comics. Still having playable Decepticons will really shake this game up as it allows for teams.
Pteraxadon
Tbh I forgot about this
Obsidian X
Wait! Whut!? I spy a European Union badge on their site! I can finally order their stuff then! Huzzah! Gonna get all the Transformers stuff this weekend and probably that G.I.Joe game they released a while back… Glorious.
Indeed it is, but the cards are laid out in a grid and you move standees around that grid so… kind of like a board game as well.
Ractonite
Is it a card game?
dragon
mom all for transformers trying be popular with new fans who don’t buy toys comics video games watch cartoons.,
new fans only like live action movies make transformers popular all over again maybe this game will be more successful unlike other transformers card game that was released years ago like see this game stay for long time make impact not die out in few years.
Cards look good same art from previous game differnt way of playing maybe get see game of it little later

There's a wreckers expansion available too! Transformers Deck-Building Game Infiltration Protocol PRE-ORDER
Senator Magnificus
Love it whenever Megs is drawn with such an over the top, angry shouty face.
Cosmoglide
For what it's worth, I've had mine for a little while, now, so they've shipped at least some of them.
THE-TRANSFORMER
Haha, yup.
Although I'm in Australia, so I thought it was an international issue.
Obnimaz
That will go great whenever the base game ships out lol
THE-TRANSFORMER
Renegade has announced an expansion has come out for this game introducing the Decepticons.
I still haven't got the base game I ordered, however I'm excited to get and play it and this.
Playable Decepticons arrive in the Transformers Deck-Building Game: A Rising Darkness! This standalone expansion adds new cards, new modes of plan, and of course new villainous characters in the form of Megatron, Starscream, and more dastardly Decepticons!
This expansion is compatible with the core game and like it, will offer 2 primary modes of play: Competitive mode (the Decepticons squabble amongst each other while they face the Autobots) and Cooperative mode (the Decepticons join their forces to defeat the Autobots). This expansion also introduces rules for Team vs Team games, featuring Decepticon players against Autobot players when combined with the Transformers Deck-Building Game Core Set.
Pre-order A Rising Darkness from Renegade today and get the Transformers Deck-Building Game A Rising Darkness Bonus Pack for free! This adds new cards to the main deck, and Astrotrain as a playable character!
Gneric Robot Dinosaur
Yeah, some people got none, some people got a box full. And they are saying they can't send out the replacements to the people they shorted UNTIL the people that got boxes of them send them back. Awesome. /s
Logos Minor
I forgot to preorder and thought I missed the promo pack, but then they tweeted out Black Friday orders are eligible "while supplies last". This should be fun to figure out given the whole sending people solid promo pack cases debacle.
Makarov
Received mine today looking forward to getting into it, also just a heads up looks like there was a shipping error where some people received a box full of boosters instead of a single pack. The company sent out an email about it

TF, Joe, and Zeo should all be at the warehouse waiting to ship.
