🤫 Keep it down. We’re on an operation here. Stealthiness is this week’s #TransformersTCG Card of the Week! We’re going back to Rise of the Combiners to see what this little Upgrade did, what eventually competed with it, and where it can still hide a bot today. transformerstcg.org/articles/cot...

transformerstcg.orgCotW: Stealthiness from Wave 2: Rise of the CombinersA secret mission reveals this week's Card, and it's a study in shadows and misdirection for keeping your key characters safe.

One of our favorite finds: the Garrus-9 temporary suspension system really was reversible, as advertised! Fight For Position, Turnabout Snare, and Pipes were temporarily suspended, came back, and are all legal today. The surviving event records let us reconstruct how the system actually worked.

The page also follows the replacement cards that came afterward, including United Against Tyranny, Hand of Adaptus, Mecha Star, Debilitate, Summon Sky Shadow!, Bellicosity, and more. Sometimes the question is what part of a broken card was still worth saving. And there were _a lot_ of them.

No one’s going to keep Lugnutz down. This week’s #transformerstcg Card of the Week takes Org Wave 9’s Lugnutz // Road Scholar for a spin, with anti-Oppress tech, faction-card punishment, and a new Mirage on the Water deck built around extra battle flips. transformerstcg.org/articles/cot...

These tchotchkes were held up by the launch of the new transformerstcg.org website, our archive of #transformerstcg info. But we couldn’t hold back these pieces of flair forever, and community card fans who guessed Wave 8 card Riffraff Knick-Knacks as this week’s Card are expressing themselves!

Now add three Monofiber Filaments from Waste|Lands. With all three equipped to “Optimus Crime,” every non-Quintesson teammate also gets +3 Attack. Suddenly, the Air Strike Patrol is leaving you thunderstruck! We’ve included the Dark Horizon deck list here to show the whole package in action.

One of the most compelling decks featuring the Knick-Knacks isn’t a Junkion deck at all. The twisted Optimus Prime // Dark Awakening from Wave 6 World|Strike enjoys flair on his suspenders a bit too much.

His bot mode gives +1 Health to each team member for every factioned Utility on him that does not share a faction with that character. With the full array of three Junkion Knick-Knacks equipped, every non-Junkion on his team gets +3 Health!

Any Junkion looking to keep a pocket heal handy can get real value out of the Knick-Knacks, especially because up to three copies can fit in a single Utility slot. When that Junkion takes attack damage and survives, each Knick-Knacks can be scrapped to repair 1 damage.

The Knick-Knacks also work well in a Junkion Overwhelming Advantage deck, thanks to their perfectly matching white and green battle icons. Your opponent may check in, but they’ll be checking out in pieces!

Surprise! We've had plans to launch the killer app combo for the #transformerstcg: building the best website combined with the best deck builder/card database, with integrations between the two so that they can cover the game we all love. Today, half of that combo is LIVE! transformerstcg.org

Like a knife to the back! If the last Card of the Week clue made you think “Buzzsaw!”, then you’re correct! This Card is a sharp attacker when your hand is loaded with Weapons with blue battle icons. He’s social with those Weapons, able to move one on the battlefield from a character to another.

We haven’t shared many CotW decks featuring cards from OW9: War|Void, but Buzzsaw // Spy is a perfect minion for Unicron – and his Weapon tricks make it easier for the forces of Unicron to wreak havoc. The “Flights by Night” deck below is packed with War|Void cards and Weapons, including 17 Weapons!

Have you surprised opponents with Buzzsaw in the past, especially in a Soundwave deck? For next week’s card, expect a #transformerstcg card that’s pure garbage. In this case, it’s the only faction Utility that lets you play three copies in a single slot. Can you guess this essential piece of flair?

Buzzsaw’s ability to move Weapons becomes especially potent with Weapons that have “when you put this on a character” effects. That lets powerful triggered effects on stalwarts like Armed Hovercraft and Drill Arms fire again whenever Buzzsaw moves them!

Who’s got two thumbs and is back from vacation? That’s right, the US store.transformerstcg.org crew! As such, we have our US inventory back online and ready to ship beginning on Monday. Our int'l Storefront is ready to ship as well, so if you’re living in non-US locations, give our listings a look.

Happy that I was able to share that experience, too, and to see him so affected beyond his expectations.

often I think back to Botcon 2004, and how Peter Cullen's panel received such ovation that he was moved to tears, in part because it was recognition for a role that had at the time been so far behind him feeling so fortunate to have seen him back then, because I also got to see him afterwards

transformerstcg.org reposted

Everyone's posting their photos with Peter Cullen, so I thought I'd share mine. I spent time with Peter at BotCon '04. He was generous with his time, and mentioned that he was grateful for the fandom's support for him and his work as Optimus Prime. His work — and he — certainly meant a lot to me.

Greetings, #transformerstcg players and fans. For our Card of the Week, we had plans for the card teased in last week’s entry. With today’s news of the passing of Peter Cullen, however, we thought we would instead dedicate this week’s entry to remembering the legendary voice of Optimus Prime.

In his honor, we’re featuring a card that embodied the Autobot leader: Optimus Prime // Battlefield Legend. No gameplay breakdowns or anecdotes today. We’d instead like to open the floor to your remembrances of Peter Cullen, his performances as Optimus, or even recollections of OPBL plays.

Here’s some Card of the Week TLC for #transformerstcg players! For those who guessed Org Wave 9’s Tetrinite-Lined Chassis, or longtime Ark fans who recognized the stratagem it was based on, Ark Wave One’s Advanced Technology, congratulations!

We’re including this deck list as an example of classic Shockwave shenanigans that are enhanced by TLC. It’s a great choice if you enjoy deciding the fate of your opponent’s cards! For the next CotW, your opponent will pay if they believe this Decepticon bird merely lurks in Laserbeak’s shadow!

Fan design can easily become overly complicated, so when an elegant solution to a problem appears, it deserves recognition. That’s what the original Advanced Technology did: it improved Decepticon Shockwave // Cybertron Commander, a Wave 1 character whose stats fell well below the 11 ★ average.

For 1 ★, Advanced Technology’s +4 ❤️ bonus placed Wave 1 Shockwave roughly in the middle of the statistical averages for the 12 ★ count. A simple, effective buff! With ❤️ being the game’s most valuable raw stat, this greatly improved Wave 1 Shockwave’s playability, especially in the post-Wave 5 meta.

We hesitate to congratulate those #transformerstcg CotW readers who guessed Overheat would be this week’s selection, because this Secret Action is outperformed by several alternatives in both official and community play, and because it comes frustratingly close to being better than it actually is.

Community waves also bring the Oppress keyword into play, a direct counter to the Bold that fuels multiple flips of orange and black battle icons. Look to the many Rolling Actions and other cards that provide Oppress in Org Wave 8 and beyond.

Have you previously been disappointed by Overheat? Or are you one of its few fervent defenders? The next Card of the Week is yet another well-deserved homage in Org Wave 9: War|Void to a fan card. You’ll be shocked to see this advanced stratagem appear on the game table!

Our first bit of advice: if you dream of stuffing that uncommon Power Punch plus Supercharge combo, pair Overheat with Wave 5’s Spymaster’s Ruse so you can hold it for exactly the right moment.

Better advice though: play better cards! Even with black battle icons still a factor in the game, you’ll get better results when playing Tough with Secret Actions like Hidden Fortification. If you want the kind of defensive effect Overheat wishes it provided, look no further than Dampening Field.

We've certainly played Overheat only to watch an attacker flip six battle cards or fewer. Take Optimus Prime // Freedom Fighter in bot mode. If all four orange double-battle icon cards are flipped, he can still be attacking your defender for at least 14 Attack. Your Overheat accomplished nothing.
