This year is the 35th Anniversary of Transformers, and Hasbro is kicking off the celebration with a promotional mailer featuring a selection of current offerings from various lines.  Studio Series, The Bumblebee Movie, Cyberverse, Bot Bots and Generations War for Cybertron Siege are all represented.  We are all at different points in our collecting habits, from the little tikes all the way up to their fathers, and these figures show there is truly something for everyone.   The figs came in a big kick ass box (you can see our recent Siege galleries here), which Hasbro always does well.  Inside the box there is a secret code that you can use to unlock special content at the Teletraan-1 Database on Hasbro’s website.  You can find that code inside this story and get the content for yourselves!

There is a lot of great stuff still to come in 2019, from Siege to Masterpiece and beyond, so stay tuned for more info as things drop throughout the year!  Let’s Roll! [Read more…]

Transformers Trading Card Game Design Lead Ken Nagle is back with another Wave 3 battle card reveal:

Emergency Defense Field will stop any even-numbered amount of damage just once. So even if your defender is attacked for 20 damage, Emergency Defense Field stops all 20 damage. Or 10 damage. Or 14 damage.  However, Emergency Defense Field won’t stop 19 damage. Or 21 damage. You get the point.

To learn more about the in-game advantages of using this new battle card, read up on the details in Ken’s full column and then share your strategies on the 2005 boards!

The TCG team wraps up another week of great Wave 3 previews via Big Comic Page:

Let’s take a quick look at this beauty of a common – we’re not going into heavy meta analysis here, but here’s our first thoughts: Black dot, so adds Pierce 1 when flipped – fair enough. But, as the card image suggests, this is about Tankbusting: rip open those big fat blue dot tank decks.

Your thoughts about all of these new cards are welcome in our expansive Transformers Trading Card Game area on the 2005 boards!

Game Informer adds to a busy day of Transformers Trading Card Game reveals:

Sergeant Skywarp is a master of Secret Action, a new kind of battle card in War for Cyberton: Siege. Since secret actions are played face down, your opponent won’t know what that secret action does. Since most Secret Actions trigger on the opponent’s turn, your opponent must step lightly or risk setting off the secret.

After you check out the new card’s artwork attached to this post, sound off on the 2005 boards!

Transformers Trading Card Game Design Lead Ken Nagle brings more news on the Wave 3 front by introducing two battle cards:

Pop a Wheelie and Unconventional Flying Object are pushing two underrepresented Alt modes that players have been asking for. Now that we’re on the third booster set, we can fit in some new battle cards that we’ve simply haven’t had the room for previously. Cars and Planes better watch out!

A trio of Decepticons are in the spotlight for the latest reveal from Transformers Trading Card Game Designer Scott Van Essen, with Raider Laserbeak, Raider Ravage and Major Soundwave taking center stage:

  • In bot mode, he swoops from the sky to harry your opponents or disrupts their plans in more devious ways with a timely secret action play.
  • A massive 3 defense in alt mode, and a bot mode ability designed to crack the toughest nut. Ravage is the fighter to Laserbeak’s schemer.
  • A quick note to those of you who were hoping to see a different iteration of Soundwave: this isn’t the only time you’ll be seeing him this summer.

Check out Scott’s column for more details, then chat away on the 2005 boards!

Another great reveal from the Transformers Card Game team is here, courtesy of Game Designer Scott Van Essen debuting Specialist Flamewar:

  • Pretty sweet. She’s a stealthy motorcycle in alt mode, which is nice, but let’s Focus (I’m never going to not do that) on her bot mode, where she’s got Focus 2 (which is good times, let me tell you).
  • Focus lets you look at a small number of cards on top of your deck right before you battle and then scrap the ones you don’t want. Because this works on both offense and defense, you get the most total power out of your battle deck when it is a mix of orange and blue battle icons.
