    One of each.

    I'm not sure if any token sheets were printed that have 1 on each side. All of the double sided ones I got in my Collectior Boosters were Laserbeak/Ravabgenon one side, Magiv Token on the other.

    Just to confirm - Laserbeak/Ravage & a random back graphic? Not like the main ones. Great! 2 less to collect.

    Yep. There are multiple 2-sided token version in each set, but I've only seen Ravage/Other and Laserbeak/Other double sided tokens. I haven't see 1-sided versions of either (yet).

    Ebay:
    Okay, I did break down and bought a few lose Shattered Glass cards on ebay when they appeared cheap.

    I was wondering, what is Cyclonus carrying here? Long Haul on a pallet?

    Cybertronian Dirtbag or landfill in SG colors

    And why would you put that on a card, some of the scenes are baffling, it's like they pulled from some comic....

    There is some nice art here but....
    and I'm not usually critical of art style, but there is unusual compositions used on many of the transformers cards.

    When I think of a character card, this is the composition I'm used to:
    Screenshot_20221118-085436~2.png
    The character is filling the frame you get a nice close up, which need because the art window is small.

    But they decided on many of the cards to split your attention, as if telling the story on the character card.... Something usually reserved for TCG interrupts or enhancements.

    Nice artwork but it looks like an interrupt because you mind is trying to figure out the story here, what is he doing?

    So this example the character is sharing the spotlight of his card...with someone else:

    This is really awkward since they're overlapping. Ratchet is sharing his comfort zone on his character card.

    This is beautiful but Off center such that blur can share in the limelight.

    Arcee has to share the frame with a Taxi...

    Ultra Magnus Armored Carrier.... Yet the cars are outside ;)

    Awkward pose

    Just a few nitpicks, the art in general is really nice though

    It's funny Thundercracker gets a cameo, but no card for himself.

    He appeared in the Earth Wars online game too. They really need to make new toys for him, Prowl, Shockwave and Steeljaw. They keep appearing in games, but get shafted as toys.

    Seems to only be Powerstones on the back of them so far.

    Seeing SG Megatron be $1000 has shown me how scarcity and rarity Hasbro does this and how silly it all is.

    I hope those prices go down.

    All that's been sorted. It looks like a single vendor had super predatory prices to inflate card values but every else had reasonable prices since release.
