Wizards of The Coast Transformers Collectible Card Game: Rise of The Combiners Booster

ID: 9NArSLRUc6

Manufacturer: Wizards of the Coast

At launch there will be 40 Transformers to collect in booster packs (it wouldn’t be a WotC game without ’em) and 81 battle cards. The first starter set will focus on the Autobots and give you Optimus Prime Bumblebee Red Alert and Ironhide (what no Sunstreaker?) and enough battle cards to get two players started. My assumption is a Decepticon set (maybe with Megatron Starscream Soundwave and…Shockwave?) will be released later so that you can get a proper Bots vs. Cons battle going. What’s nice is that while the starter set is giving us tried-and-true Transformers characters Drew Nolosco the Transformers TCG Brand Manager has said that they’ll be pulling from across the entire history of the Transformers property as the game evolves. He specifically mentioned Sunstorm (a deep-cut fan favorite based on a Generation 1 Takara recolor) which has me hopeful this is more than just lip service.
