Hasbro sent through new details and pics for the latest Transformers Trading Card Game release – TITAN MASTERS ATTACK!  Read on to check out all the details and pics!

Today, MAGIC: THE GATHERING and TRANSFORMERS released the highly anticipated booster set – TITAN MASTERS ATTACK – for the popular TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game (TCG). The new booster set contains 46 Character cards (43 of these characters never-before-seen in Transformers TCG), 94 non-Character cards, and 3 Titan-pack Character cards (one Titan pack in each sealed display).

Key product features include:

· Titan Master Characters: These character cards have two parts – a body and a head. Head characters give bonuses to the body, and when the body is KOed, the head deploys as a separate bot mode character. Mix and match heads and bodies to customize Titan Masters to fit your playstyle. Titan Master characters draw inspiration from Transformers toys released both in Titans Return and Generation 1.
· The Wreckers: The fan-favorite Autobot special-forces team make their debut in Titan Masters Attack. Led by Sergeant Kup, the Wreckers get the toughest jobs done, no matter what the cost.
· Stratagem cards: This completely new card type lets players further customize characters on their team. Most Stratagem are keyed to a specific character card, cost stars, and modifies a character in an interesting (and sometimes unusual!) way. Stratagems in Titan Masters Attack can modify characters from this booster release or from previous releases.
· Fortress Maximus: Every sealed Titan Masters Attack booster display includes a Fortress Maximus Titan pack. This pack contains the titan-sized Fortress Maximus character, his head character Cerebros, and Cerebros’ head character, Emissary.

The Transformers Trading Card Game team starts the week off with a mega-reveal of nearly twenty cards not previously shown on these pages.

More Wave 5 news, directly from the Transformers Trading Card Game team:

In a world that’s anything but normal, we hope to maintain some normalcy around our games, and the community that is so important to so many of us right now. With that in mind, we’re changing the global release date of Titan Masters Attack to May 29th.

As parts of the world recover from COVID-19 while others are still dealing with rising numbers of cases, we’ve come to accept that we cannot celebrate the release of a set in the way to which we’ve become accustomed. For the safety of those working in our distribution and shipping centers as well as in acknowledgement that some places simply cannot open their doors, we decided to move the release date. We will continue to monitor this date and make updates as necessary.

One Community
The situation continues to evolve, and we appreciate you bearing with us. We will make it through this the same way the Transformers TCG community has tackled so many things—together. In the meantime, stay safe, stay connected, and stay tuned.

Update your calendars from the originally scheduled release date of April 17th, then join in the discussion on the 2005 boards!
