TCG series 4 officially revealed

[griffin]

The fourth series of the Transformers Trading Card Game has been officially revealed by IGN and Hasbro, for release in November.

It will be called "Siege 2" (or "Siege II" on the packs), and the booster packs will follow the same format as the first Siege set, in which they have a large character card, a small character card (Battlemaster, Micromaster or half of a Weaponizer), and 6 battle cards.

The feature of this fourth series, is that every master carton (of 30 booster packs), will have a Trypticon card pack included, which has a Titan card (Trypticon) and three "large" character cards (Brunt, Fulltilt and Wipeout - which I think is the first time Trypticon has been associated with both car minions, when it is usually just one or the other).

The card reveals for the fourth series have begun (after the initial Trypticon reveal), with the first being a card to specifically use with Trypticon, to bring back to life all three of his minions if they are all on the KO pile. It is a star card, and since Trypticon has 24 stars, this would be the only star card you could have in your battle deck (if you restrict yourself to the standard 25 star limit).

Hot Rod card revealed.

The Nova Storm card has been revealed by the TCG's twitter, (mis)coloured as Sunstorm. Nova Storm is a bright yellow and grey, while Sunstorm is gold, red and white. Sunstorm was even a character card in the first series, with these exact same colours.

Revealed on facebook is the Micromaster Powertrain character card.

Two more reveals as we are only two months out from the release of the fourth series...

Highjump (Micromaster) and Vanguard (Battlemaster).

Some really long time fans might recognise Vanguard as being the battle-pack accessory that came with Actionmaster Sideswipe, waaay back in 1991.

And we have two more cards coming for the leaders - Optimus Prime (with Galaxy Upgrade artwork) and "Lord" Megatron. Both are Super Rare cards, and are very powerful cards.

I know the cards don’t mean toys, but as an owner of AM Sideswipe I would love if they did release Vanguard as a Battle Master.

Four more cards revealed...

Smokescreen, Kickback, Battlemaster Sights (the partner to the original Actionmaster Soundwave) and a battle card (Acute Reflexes).

The reveals are starting to pick up pace...

Five more battle cards and the character card for Greenlight... and the triple-changer Sandstorm with a folding card like the Combiners.

I saw pics of the Sandstorm one on twitter - looks awesome! He was one of my fav toys as a kid so seeing those visual representations of the G1 toy was both cool and nostalgic
