For those that don't know, deck building games play like traditional card games but where they differ, is that, instead of buying masses of booster packs to build that killer deck, all the cards are included in the box.
Transform and roll out!
The Autobots are brave robot warriors hailing from the planet Cybertron. Their mission? To stop the Decepticons from enacting their evil schemes on Earth.
In Transformers Deck-Building Game, you take on the role of one of the mighty Autobots.

Greetings Seibertronians! In news from the more general licensing side of the Transformers franchise, the new Transformers Monopoly game (reported here), has had it's Walmart.com listing updated with new stock images, showing off what you get in this version of the beloved game.
As said before, the game's artwork features more the evergreen style.
Here's the game's description as given by Walmart:
In this exciting twist on the Monopoly game, players enter the world of Transformers and imagine traveling between Earth and Cybertron as a heroic Autobot or evil Decepticon. Choose to play as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, Starscream, or Soundwave in a race to take control of energy-rich locations. Buy, sell, or swap properties, build up a supply of Energon cubes, and construct Energon bunkers.
The last player with money when all other players have gone bankrupt wins! The Monopoly: Transformers Edition game is for kids ages 8 and up. (Tokens do not convert.)
Transformers and Hasbro and all related trademarks and logos are trademarks of Hasbro, Inc.
Hasbro Gaming, Parker Brothers, and Monopoly names and logos, the distinctive design of the gameboard, the four corner squares, the Mr. Monopoly name and character, as well as each of the distinctive elements of the board and playing pieces are trademarks of Hasbro for its property trading game and game equipment.
While we have had one or two before, there hasn't been a Transformers themed monopoly game available at retail for a while now. Hasbro is of course rectifying that. Fellow Seibertronian JTPrime17 has found a listing with image for a new Monopoly: Transformers Edition on the mobile Walmart site. We learn that the is UPC: 630509993444 and that it will feature the evergreen designs, which makes sense given the name of these designs. You can see the small image below. No idea on price or release date. If you ever see it in stores, let us know!
With the popularity of Virtual Reality (VR) gaming on the rise, it was only natural that someone would find a way to create a VR experience that involves our favorite shape-shifting robots. That somebody is game studio Minority Media. Founded in 2010 in Canada, Minority Media develops video games for all different types of platforms, and this new game Transformers: Invasion VR, allows you to aid the Autobots in their quest to prevent a Decepticon takeover.
TRANSFORMERS: VR Invasion delivers collaborative gameplay that enables guests to be part of the liberation squad of humans fighting alongside well-known Autobots like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, as well as Grimlock, the leader of the Dinobots powerful strike squad. Players enter epic battles against sworn enemies Megatron and Soundwave and repel non-stop swarms of Insecticons. Failure is not an option in this high-stakes mission to stop an all-out invasion by the Decepticons.
This game actually isn't the first VR game Minority has developed for the Transformers brand. The first one, Transformers: Battle Arena, came out in November 2019. While Invasion VR doesn't currently have a release date, it is expected to be at very limited locations to begin with; currently, Kalahari Resort in Poconos, PA, Airway Fun Center in Kalamazoo, MI and Compass Entertainment in Irvington, VA are the only US entertainment venues scheduled to get the game at first. Select Kingpin Bowling locations in Australia well also be hosting the game.
The designs in this game seem to be based off the Cyberverse designs, judging from how Bumblebee, Soundwave and Grimlock appear.

We always love to report when we spot something Transformers related where we wouldn't expect it. Well, fellow Seibertronian Shauyaun found a familiar sight while looking over “The World of Cyberpunk 2077” book. He describes it below.
Shauyaun wrote:I was flipping through “The World of Cyberpunk 2077”, a book about the up coming game Cyberpunk 2077, and i came across a familiar face! And no I’m not talking about Keanu Reeves. I’m talking about our very own OPTIMUS PRIME.
Ok sure it’s just a toy of the guy but still!
Honestly i doubt it means much, probably just the work of an artist on the team who kinda likes Transformers.
When i first saw it i was like “wow the about of detail this has must mean it’s a real OP figure”
Looked to me like a DotM OP because of the distinct abdomen, so i looked around and yup it seems to be the “ Ultimate Optimus Prime”
A new Transformers video game was announced earlier this year and wowed no fan. Granted, what was shown was minimal and uninspiring. We now have a much better sense of the game from multiple gameplay videos which can all be found below. The game looks more like XCOM, with its turn based strategy gameplay and basic environment. You play as 6 different autobots embarking on 20 different missions that span various settings to defeat the Decepticons. You can play as Decepticons in the arcade mode, which also allows multiplayer. It is of course a much kid friendlier game than XCOM with kicking Decepticons in the face rather than performing alien autopsies. We thank Sabrblade for sharing these videos with us.
We also have images for the cover of the game in the US, EU and Australia. We thank -Wonkothesane- for letting us know of these. The game is available to preorder on Amazon right now.

Fans of the Transformers Trading Card Game from Wizards of the Coast have bad news to wake up to this Monday morning, as a post on the game's official website reveals that the recently released Titan Masters Attack wave was the game's last. To put it another way while borrowing a classic "Furmanism", the Transformers TCG is over - finished! The text of the news release and the accompanying image posted on the game's Facebook page may be seen below.
TITAN MASTERS ATTACK IS THE TRANSFORMERS TCG FINAL RELEASE
For over two years, Wizards of the Coast has worked to create a great action TCG brand with the Transformers TCG. While the retailer and player community continued to grow, our product offerings didn’t meet the expectations of the broader fan base to engage further with the brand. Additionally, the current global situation posed by the COVID-19 pandemic presented additional hurdles. As such, Titan Masters Attack released on May 29, is the game’s final TCG release.
We are informing our players and retailers so they can make the best decisions regarding event participation and product ordering. The Transformers TCG team wishes to recognize the tremendous effort that fans and retailers put into building a great community.
“The Transformers TCG was truly a labor of love for the Wizards team, and we saw that enthusiasm and love echoed by players across the world,” said Drew Nolosco, Wizards of the Coast Global Brand Manager. “We are grateful to our fans, content creators, retailers, and distributors for the enthusiasm they brought to the game. The greater Transformers TCG fan community is perhaps the best TCG community I’ve had the privilege of working with.”
‘Til all are one.
To editorialize for a moment, as a collector of the product that appreciated the art and generally enjoys trading cards on their own, I'll be a little sad to see it go. While I wasn't active in actually playing the game, those that were tell me it was a really great and well crafted game. It seems anything that isn't toys has a hard time making headway with us Transformers fans, but that's just what I think, let us know what you think by replying to this post on our Energon Pub Forums.
Thanks to a host of Seibertronians, we have news that the new video game Transformers: Battlegrounds has released it's first trailer. This game is set on Earth and features the classics Transformers characters portrayed in their Cyberverse bodies, battling it out for the fate of Earth, Cybertron, and the Allspark.
The video game has been described as a tactical warfare adventure, and will be available for a variety of gaming systems, including the Play Station 4, XBox One, the Nintendo Switch (the first time a Transformers game has been made for Switch), and PC (Stream). The game is currently scheduled for release on October 23, 2020, adding yet another item to the lengthy list of releases for the month of October for Transformers fans.
