Transformers Trading Cards in this month's kids magazines

[BigTransformerTrev]

I still think it was stupid of Hasbro not to make them standard card sizes. Also, while I haven't opened my Metroplex set, I still think that size is ridiculous. I wonder if they thought bigger is better?

They made the Metroplex card huge because you have to hide the 3 sidekick cards underneath to bring out when you flip it.

Picked this up today. There are two interviews with collectors. One with a kid who has 67 Transformers, and the other with some handsome dork with over 2500 figures (don't know where they got that number from; you all know that I'm pretty open with my collection count - it's right there in my signature!)

And hats off to that kid with 67 figures - that is an impressive sized collection for a kid. Hopefully he'll continue to be a fan for life.

On the bottom of the card where the numbering is

CT = Common
UT = Uncommon
RT = Rare
SRT = Super Rare

But so far I have only seen commons

Goky Nice Work too!!!!!

I've been looking in quite a few stores, and the cards are all CT (common) cards. I'd be surprised if there were any rarer cards being given out, but then again, if they are rarer, it might take a lot more stores for me to see one.


Actually, looking at Hasbro's Booster card listing, I've ended up finding all of the Common cards now, as I found Starscream and Slug today...


Autobot Hound // Long-Range Scout
Barrage // Merciless Insecticon
Bombshell // Insecticon Mind-Controller
Bumblebee // Courageous Scout
Dinobot Slug // Hot-Headed Warrior
Dinobot Swoop // Fearsome Flyer
Flamewar // Veteran Decepticon
Megatron // Decepticon Leader
Optimus Prime // Freedom Fighter
Ramjet // Sky Smasher
Sergeant Kup // Veteran Sergeant
Starscream // Scheming Second-in-Command


I bought a copy of the K-Zone magazine for the article... and picked one with Ramjet, as I only have one Decepticon card so far.

Ended up getting a few, a nice surprise, I can't condone slacking off at work just to get these I can't argue with these freebies

While I'm wrapped I got a megatron they're all commons and way to big to store with my other cards, what was the point of making them so comically oversized again?

I haven't opened my sets yet, however even armed with that information can you still not hide them under a normal size card... you know, a stack of 4 cards?
