    That’s, okay I guess? Seems like something extra just to entertain kids Incase if the actual toy doesn’t entertain them. But for a entire card game where the main gimmick is to use AR for Rpg style gameplay might get bored quickly if the game doesn’t have anything else good going on. At that point why play it if there are better card games to play like Yu Gi Oh or Pokémon? Transformers isn’t even on the mind of most modern kids this day and age, they care more about video games and tv shows like Minecraft, Roblox, FNAF, Poppy’s playtime, Bluey, Cocomelon, etc. This Product Is only available in Hong Kong because Super Robots/Mecha culture is still relevant over there in those countries.

    I’m almost certain they are the Earth wars models at least. Just some new textures on them.

    Obviously a lot of Earth wars are based on recent figures, but their Optimus was about as original as a g1 prime gets. Same for a lot of the early characters like ratchet and Soundwave.

    That is interesting. Wonder if it’s a space ape deal, or is it a case of hasbro owning their work?

    Transformers not being on the minds of kids in this day and age.....umm ok then. They have lines that sell well dedicated to them, hell the mainline stuff is for kids too so id say yeah its on their minds.

    Yeah there are some, but what I’m saying it’s not the majority of kids anymore. Let’s face it, most people that care about Transformers today are adults who grew up on it when they where kids.

    Eye have judgement transformers, No thanks
     And and I\'m a sucker for card games but they cancel the TCG and we get this?

    And if somebody else as pointed out below. Recycled art from earth wars Now that works Ok in game but the card aren\'t needs to be better than this, a lot op people crack card games and don\'t even play, I don\'t play Pokémon anymore. I still buy packs though. Yu-Gi-Oh is the different story and I\'ve never had the opportunities to play the TCG not where I live, but the cards are funThese are going to end up in a discount store in no time, shame franchise deserves better

    PSIn fact I wouldn\'t just say earth was. I\'ve just noticed some of these other ones I didn\'t see before and it looks like they\'ve kind of taken assets from pretty much anywhere. Which kind of makes it not mesh properly with itself? Hasn\'t got a unified look you know.

    Anyways, as i said a shame

    I'm kinda LOL'ing at just how all over the place the designs are:
    Ultra Magnus and Soundwave look more-or less pure G1
    Optimus Prime and Shockwave are G1-rooted, but seem to be unique designs (at first I thought Prime was Evergreen based, but doesn't really sync up)
    Ratchet looks Combiner Wars inspired in alt mode, but a unique(???) bot mode
    Impactor's Robot mode is IDW, but his alt mode is the TFCCSS Combiner Wars Rook repaint...
    Nosecone picks up some details from Combiner Wars, but has Lightspeed's color scheme
    Seige Starscream
    Wheeljack looks to be a hybrid of Generations (leg kibble) and Prime (shoulder kibble and wing shape/style) with a totally new deco
    Combiner Wars Skywarp & Jetfire..
    Is Megatron Titans Return without the jet kibble?
    Bumblebee's got the Classic's alt mode (TF 2010 repaint) but what the heck is going on with that robot mode?????

    Bruh these are all clearly ripped from Earth Wars, like holy moly. They've given some of them different colortation when looking at their original models; like Megs has yellow eyes for some reason. Does make one wonder if they're pinching Space Ape's assests without telling them or something

    was Earth Wars a mobile game? that must have slipped past me. Still a weird mash up of references.

    It's still going actually, which I'm honestly kind of surprised given that the gameplay's kinda lackluster :|

    Pixel master, this isn’t related to the topic but can I ask you a question? Who is the most popular transformers character in Hong Kong? Also best figure over there would be nice to hear.

    Honestly agreed wholly with you. I’m still scratching my head over the fact Starscream is a Siege tetrajet while Skywarp is a more standard jet…

    Depending on how the AR works I might grab a pack or two, but it’s purely to have them fight for my amusement really.
