    What more if in just a few months, Wave 2 gets Energon Edition as well. Are we prepared to deplete our money?

    It's just for this set. I love the card design. Definitely like the sturdier plastic design to it.


    Chill. They've already mentioned how overseas will have access to this via other means besides WotC's site. Even the U.S. is getting that option.

    If there's a Wave 2 Energon edition I could see them putting Springer and Blitzwing in it and maybe the Dinobots.

    You are absolutely right. But sometimes I cannot stop myself... but after a good night and a good sleep.. everything is okay now. ^^

    Do not forget about King Starscream and Windblade! As far a full combiner goes - dunno which one I would like to see in this style.

    Yes, we. All of us. Wave 2 Energon is inevitable.

    Maybe? But those are all bad cards.

    My rationale for Wave 1 Energon edition is that OPBL, SR Bumblebee, SR Nemesis, and Cliffjumper all have seen some competitive play. In addition to that, wave 1 rares and super rares appeared less frequently per pack than in later waves. (SR Wave 1 was 1/80 while SR Wave 2+ is 1/50). So this is an opportunity for WoTC to give new players the old good rarer cards in a new form. In terms of characters in Wave 2, the best stuff was actually on the common/uncommon side of things and the SR's were more frequent, not as big a reason to reintroduce.

    I completely agree with you. Depending on how this sells, an Energon set 2 will definitely happen.

    For me, I can take or leave the Wave 1 packs & the Energon dice. However, of the 6 character cards, I only have Optimus Prime so that would help me fill holes in my collection. The foil battle cards are cool, just wish Energon Axe had been one of the 6 selected.

    Good argument. I also believe this Energon Edition is part of Wizards plan to "make up" for the mistakes from Wave 1... which makes me think... perhaps they improved on the rationale in the Energon Edition packs of Wave1?

    To be honest - I do not want an Energon Edition to come out for every edition of the game... or at least give me a heads up on it! XD

    Having said that - how cool would it bee if the package for Energon Edition for Wave 2 would be in the form of the Enigma of Combination?

    As for the included cards - how about the just give us the Combiners as Titan Character Cards? That would make 5 cards (6 if you really want to include Dreadwing)
    The reprinted Battle Cards could be the team cards - like Aerialbot Formation, Stunticon Swagger, etc. - with new artwork.
