Let's see what you can see... This article is in need of images.

The Transformers Trading Card Game is a collectible card game in which players build teams of both Autobots and Decepticons (and later Mercenaries) to battle other players. The game was revealed in July 2018 by Wizards of the Coast, with attendees of Gen-Con and SDCC able to purchase an exclusive set-card pack.

The game uses simple mechanics in which players take turns doing a multitude of things, from drawing cards, flipping their character cards their alt-modes, playing action and upgrade cards, and battling.

Between Summer 2018 and Summer 2020, five full sets of cards were released, as well as several promotional cards and five ready-to-play box sets. On July 20, 2020 it was announced through various social media channels that Wave 5: Titan Masters Attack would be the final release of the Transformers Trading Card Game. The official statement included: "While the retailer and player community continued to grow, our product offerings didn’t meet the expectations of the broader fan base to engage further with the brand", as well as problems posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic as reasons for the cancellation of the game.

Wave 1

Maybe this one will actually have that holofoil Charizard...

The initial wave of the Transformers Trading Card Game was released on September 28, 2018 in the United States, with staggered releases in other regions. Set contained 40 double-sided character cards and 81 battle cards. Released concurrently with the set was the Autobot Starter Set, which included four unique character cards, and a ready-to-play battle deck that could be split between players. The set also includes the Metroplex Deck, which included four character cards (including an oversized character card for Metroplex, Autobot City) and a ready-to-play battle deck containing three cards exclusive to the Metroplex Deck, released on November 20, 2018.

Wave 3: War for Cybertron: Siege I

A tie-in to the concurrently running War for Cybertron: Siege toyline, Wave 3 features many characters from the line, though there are several game exclusive additions to the cast as well. Though Wave 2's Combiners sit this wave out, the game does add two new types of Character Cards in the form of Micro and Battle Masters. This wave also sees the debut of original art for all of the wave's Battle Cards, each drawn by a variety of artists who've worked on IDW Publishing's Transformers comics.

Wave 4: War for Cybertron: Siege II

Wave 4 continues the toyline tie-in of Wave 3, offering a variety of characters featured in the War for Cybertron toyline. Triple Changers and, in a way, Combiners make their return in this wave. Unlike Wave 2's combiners, Wave 4's Captain Omega Supreme and Private Skytread start out as component alt mode parts that the player must fulfill a certain condition to unite into robot mode. Unlike Wave 3's Sergeant Cog, Wave 4's Weaponizers Sergeant Six-Gun and Raider Brunt split up into two separate Weapon type upgrades upon their defeat.

Wave 4 also sees the debut of a third faction to the game, the Mercenaries, who will go on to be featured in the next War for Cybertron Trilogy toyline, Earthrise.

Players who purchase a full Booster Box of War for Cybertron: Siege II cards also receive a new Titan card, Trypticon, and his three minions.
