The Transformers Trading Card Game is a battling card game designed for two players. Players build a team of Transformers character cards and power them up with a customizable deck of battle cards. Transformers character cards are twice the size of standard playing cards; they can be flipped from bot mode to alt mode and back, and they feature premium printing treatment on one of their sides. The deck of battle cards features Action and Upgrade cards to enhance Transformers character cards.
The Transformers Trading Card Game – Convention Edition serves as an introduction to the game before it's officially released, with these preview cards being distributed at conventions such as Comic-Con International 2018 and Gen Con 2018. This pack contains two Transformers character cards (Cliffjumper – Renegade Warrior and Slipstream – Strategic Seeker) and two battle cards (All-Out Attack and Tandem Targeting System) not available in the Autobots Starter Set or Booster Packs.
