Due out a month before the movie, Wizards of the Coast (they make the Magic card game) is putting out a constructable card game for Transformers. If you've ever seen WizKids Pirates game...it's a similar concept. It appears that the game allows you to "transform" the characters by taking the models apart and putting them back together...very cool idea. You can read more at www.icv2.com. Since this is a WotC game, I'm guessing it will be marketed more towards the hobby market (though I'm sure it will make it to mass market as well). It will be interesting to see what the overlap is between this game and 'Tix in terms of how many players get into both, or which game brings more players to the other.

Due to constraints such as money and time to play, I'm gonna stick to Attacktix... cuz if I buy one pack of TF game cards, you know I'll be hooked. My wife can't take me having another game addiction to feed. I'll bet the card game will be pretty cool, though.

I cant really see myself getting into this really... But depending on how the assembled figures look, I may buy a few. <-- thats kinda neat lookin.... kinda Here is a link.I dont get all these die hard transformer fans that post all over all these transformer message boards. I went to see what they are saying about this card game. And its positive on the major majority. Back a year ago they did nothing but complain about how stupid transformer attacktix are.

It's a cool idea but they don't look that good if you think about it... But they would be cool is they could interact with that wizkids pirate game. --Arrrgg, Optimus just sunk my entire ship, and stole my booty.

Actually, if anyone has the original rulebook for Pirates from the first series...flip to the back, you'll see I'm listed in their with a playtester credit.

Clicking the dial on the early Clix was hard enough (even with the ring) now we have to take apart those silly puzzles AND put them back together again to keep playing the game.
They definitely appeased the "Transformers MUST transform" crowd... but I don't know if it is worth it. We never even moved up the "flight marker" on Clix... I think these might get bought for mostly display. Like Showdown

I say these look silly for a game but I'm not a transformers fan so it definitely isn't marketed to me. I have some of the marvel plastic puzzles dudes you can put together (it wasn't a game, just display pieces) and they were a pia!

Yeah, the only flaw in the pirate game(besides those tiny dice) is the fact you have to assemble them, disassemble them, and finally assemble.

Oh man. I thought it would be fun to use the teeny D6's during Dungeons and Dragons. I dropped the little die into my dice bag.... and have never seen it again. But, free dice are free dice....

funnily enough we used them for DnD too. The only worry i have is i had a lot of complaints about masts breaking. I hope thats rectified for the transformer series

Keep in mind this TF game is being done by WotC, not WK...WotC is a division of the 'Bro, so in theory they are working hand in hand with the TF crew proper.

Oh, hey, that didn't even occur to me, Webhead! So... you know what this means, don't ya? Repaints! Repaints for all! I wonder if there'll be characters from ALL serieses. I'd like me an Energon Barricade, but since they're using that name in the movie, I probably shouldn't hold my breath. That's OK though, as Barri's my favorite movie D-con I've seen so far.

think we may see some of the hero's character but wont see any G1 or others unless they bring out another series after the first. maybe a second series will show some of the other characters

I'll probably buy some packs to check it out, and get hooked on this also!
