Howdy all, So I've gotten the idea of making a custom home made deck of cards with TFs on the cards. The list below is a rough draft list of who I'm thinking on placing on which card. I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestions, revisions to the list. I'm trying to create parity in the rank/power of the character on the face of the card across the different suits but sometimes that's hard to do. Its also difficult figuring out who are the more important/prominent characters to include. Each suit represents a particular group (pre/post Autobots or Decepticons). --Hearts-- Ace- Dinobots King- Optimus Queen- Prowl Jack- Jazz 10- Wheeljack 9- Ratchet 8- Sideswipe 7- Sunstreaker 6- Mirage 5- Trailbreaker 4- Hound 3- Ironhide 2- Bumblebee (or Minibot Team) --Spades-- Ace- Devastator King- Megatron Queen- Soundwave Jack- Starscream 10- Thundercracker 9- Skywarp 8- Kickback (or Thrust) 7- Bombshell (or Ramjet) 6- Shrapnel (or Dirge) 5- Rumble (or Runabout & Runamuck) 4- Frenzy (or Rumble & Frenzy) 3- Laserbeak 2- Ravage --Diamonds-- Ace- Omega Supreme (or Minibot Team) (Or Powermaster Optimus Prime) King- Rodimus Prime Queen- Ultra Magnus Jack- Kup Ten- Springer 10- Perceptor 9- Blaster 8- Wreck-Gar 7- Blurr 6- Wheelie 5- Aerialbots 4- Protectobots 3- Technobots (or Sky Lynx) (or Omega Supreme) (or Powermaster Optimus Prime) 2- Metroplex --Clubs-- Ace- Predaking King- Galvatron Queen- Scourge Jack- Cyclonus 10- Shockwave 9- Sixshot 8- Blitzwing 7- Astrotrain 6- Octane (or Sharkticon) 5- Menasor 4- Bruticus 3- Abominus 2- Trypticon Thanks for your suggestions!
Well it's not really balanced between the houses. Look at how many combiners Clubs have! I don't have any problems with Hearts and Spades though. --Hearts-- Ace- Dinobots King- Optimus Queen- Jetfire Jack- Prowl 10- Jazz 9- Wheeljack 8- Ratchet 7- Sunstreaker & Sideswipe (I find it a waste to put 2 identical bots) 6- Mirage 5- Ironhide 4- Trailbreaker 3- Hound 2- Bumblebee (or Minibot Team) --Spades-- Ace- Devastator King- Megatron Queen- Starscream Jack- Shockwave 10- Soundwave 9- Skywarp & Thundercracker 8- Blitzwing 7- Astrotrain 6- Kickback (or Thrust) 5- Bombshell (or Ramjet) 4- Shrapnel (or Dirge) 3- Rumble & Frenzy 2- Reflector --Diamonds-- Ace- Omega Supreme (or Minibot Team) (Or Powermaster Optimus Prime) King- Rodimus Prime Queen- Sky Lynx Jack- Ultra Magnnus Ten- Broadside 10- Kup 9- Wreck-Gar 8- Blaster 7- Punch/Counter-Punch 6- 5- 4- Perceptor 3- Blurr 2- Wheelie --Clubs-- Ace- Predaking King- Galvatron Queen- Cyclonus Jack- Sixshot 10- Scourge 9- Octane 8- Runabout & Runamuck 7- 6- 5- 4- 3- 2- I need to refresh my memory on season 3 bots. If you wanna throw in the cityformers, give 1 to each house to be fair. Metroplex, Trypticon, Fortress Maximus, Skorponok.
Hmm...I would put Soundwave and the cassettes on one card (or atleats Soundwave and Laserbeak without the others)...then move Blitzwing, Astrotrain and Shockwave up in the Spades with Megatron...And I would say Ironhide or Prowl as queen in the hearts instead of Jetfire (they are more of Prime's right hand man than Jetfire would be IMO)... Good luck making them...
I would make the Leaders the aces, myself. For your Spades, I'd give more love to the Seekers with individual cards for each, and group the Insecticons and the Cassettes onto one card each.
I've got a similar project on the go, except I'm working on a Tarot deck, with all-original artwork. Unfortunately, due to computer issues and trouble working out who's going where, it's worked out to be a much longer-term affair than I'd originally hoped, but one day...
Um retailers up to a couple years ago sold g1 playing cards for $2, I bought several sets at walmart.
I forgot about those. But here's the thing, they're hard to find and the whole point is to make a deck that I like. A lot times very little thought is put into these official decks- its just random characters on random cards. All the King's are leaders of their entire faction, Optimus, Rodimus, Megatron and Galvatron. Grimlock is only leader of a subgroup.
Here's my lineup: SPADES A - Megatron K - Shockwave Q - Starscream J - Soundwave & Laserbeak 10 - Thundercracker 9 - Skywarp 8 - Reflector 7 - Shrapnel 6 - Bombshell 5 - Kickback 4 - Rumble 3 - Frenzy 2 - Ravage HEARTS A - Optimus Prime K - Prowl Q - Ironhide J - Jazz 10 - Sideswipe 9 - Sunstreaker 8 - Mirage 7 - Hound 6 - Wheeljack 5 - Ratchet 4 - Brawn 3 - Cliffjumper 2 - Bumblebee CLUBS A - Galvatron K - Cyclonus Q - Scourge J - Sixshot 10 - Blitzwing 9 - Astrotrain 8 - Octane 7 - Ramjet 6 - Thrust 5 - Dirge 4 - Runabout 3 - Runamuck 2 - Ratbat DIAMONDS A - Rodimus Prime K - Ultra Magnus Q - Arcee J - Sky Lynx 10 - Springer 9 - Kup 8 - Blurr 7 - Wreck Gar 6 - Blaster 5 - Perceptor 4 - Ramhorn 3 - Steeljaw 2 - Wheelie
