2005 Boards member thygriever recently attended the PAX Prime Seattle and had an opportunity to check out the new iOS Transformers mobile card game, titled Transformers Legends, which is being developed by ngmoco whose previous credits include the popular fantasy title Rage of the Bahamut.
Here's a quick rundown of the information shared with us by thygriever:
Single player lets you pick a side Autobot or Decepticon to start out your deck. However on the cybertron mission map you can play as either Autobot or Decepticon. The interface for the map and the menu look very slick.
You can collect cards for both factions and they can be mixed and matched for multiplayer. Looks like for missions, you can only use the type of card for that faction's missions.
You collect cards playing "tap" mini games. Tapping the enemy gives you energon/money, not sure if there's a difference. Or occasionally a card. There is a completion meter on top to show your progress (presumably to repeat a mission to get all the items).
Rare cards are basically rare drops, a percentage.
He showed me his STACKED deck of cards (well he is the dev!), basically showed me the best cards like my favorite art which was robot mode Grimlock, which looked amazingggg. It seems every transformer has 2 cards, 1 for each mode.
When you view your cards, the card image moves based on your tilt to give a cool motion effect. The presentation of the card/art really makes a big difference.
You can EQUIP weapons you get to any robot. Basically he showed me his Grimlock had Optimus Prime's powerful rifle, to make him even stronger. Mix and match.
You can upgrade all cards. He showed me Grimlock's card when clicked had a bunch of upgrade slots. Not sure what the upgrades were exactly.
My biggest concern was the IPA. He told me it was basically more energy (or energon) to play more games. Obviously for a game like this, the money maker is to buy more play time to collect more cards.

There are no special events or prizes planned for this. It is just an excuse to have some fun with a bunch of TFW2005 bros.

NOT have to register for the playdate, it'd be much appreciated if interested players submitted their Xbox Live gamertag/PSN profile name in the thread for ease of access. Steam players, you can do the same OR simply join the
pre-existing Steam group that a bunch of TFW2005 users have set up. Gamertags will be added to the first post in the thread until the event itself starts. Please do mention which platform your account name is for when you post in the thread. Further details, such as organization and the gamertag list so far, are in the first post of the thread.

Awhile back we reported on
partnership with
eHobby and the
Transformers Collectors Club. Since then, eHobby has released this past Botcon's exclusive Boxset. Now it seems like eHobby's turn to shell out the exclusives. Thanks to 2005 Board member PoweredConvoy for sharing his newsletter with us, we have what appears to be a tease of possible upcoming exclusives shown in the form of Shattered Glass Soundwave, Blaster, Rewind, Eject, Ramhorn, Ratbat and Dile. Could we be seeing our first Generation 1 Shattered Glass exclusives? Looks possible.
Keep it on TFW as we update with more information as it becomes available!
