Can’t stand Armed Hovercraft wrecking your wide team? This week’s Card of the Week is Sabotage, the Wave 5 Stratagem for Autobot Gears. We dig into its Upgrade-denial tricks and share a full Changing Gears deck list. transformerstcg.org/articles/cot... What did you use Sabotage against?

I'm tellin' all y'all, it's the stratagem for Wave5's Autobot Gears! Your opponent's "when you put this on a character" Upgrades lose most of their potency.

Now add three Monofiber Filaments from Waste|Lands. With all three equipped to “Optimus Crime,” every non-Quintesson teammate also gets +3 Attack. Suddenly, the Air Strike Patrol is leaving you thunderstruck! We’ve included the Dark Horizon deck list here to show the whole package in action.

Dark Horizon! This deck with Riffraff Knick-Knacks doesn't have Junkions at all!

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 16/09/2026

These tchotchkes were held up by the launch of the new transformerstcg.org website, our archive of #transformerstcg info. But we couldn’t hold back these pieces of flair forever, and community card fans who guessed Wave 8 card Riffraff Knick-Knacks as this week’s Card are expressing themselves!

Card of the Week: Riffraff Knick-Knacks from Wave 8 Waste|Lands! Any Junkion deck with three copies of Riffraff Knick-Knacks will have the bare minimum of piece of flair. It's about fun.

We haven’t shared many CotW decks featuring cards from OW9: War|Void, but Buzzsaw // Spy is a perfect minion for Unicron – and his Weapon tricks make it easier for the forces of Unicron to wreak havoc. The “Flights by Night” deck below is packed with War|Void cards and Weapons, including 17 Weapons!

This "Flights by Night" deck easily fuels the Void while delivering steady "when you play this on a character" triggered effects!

100

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 03/09/2026

Like a knife to the back! If the last Card of the Week clue made you think “Buzzsaw!”, then you’re correct! This Card is a sharp attacker when your hand is loaded with Weapons with blue battle icons. He’s social with those Weapons, able to move one on the battlefield from a character to another.

Blaster VS Soundwave's Buzzsaw // Spy strikes with sudden Weapon attacks, then allows Weapon trades for his teammates

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 27/08/2026

Greetings, #transformerstcg players and fans. For our Card of the Week, we had plans for the card teased in last week’s entry. With today’s news of the passing of Peter Cullen, however, we thought we would instead dedicate this week’s entry to remembering the legendary voice of Optimus Prime.

This week's CotW: Wave 1's Optimus Prime // Battlefield Legend

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 21/08/2026

We’re including this deck list as an example of classic Shockwave shenanigans that are enhanced by TLC. It’s a great choice if you enjoy deciding the fate of your opponent’s cards! For the next CotW, your opponent will pay if they believe this Decepticon bird merely lurks in Laserbeak’s shadow!

Hand disruption and direct damage wreaks havoc in this "Gunship Synthwave" deck!

011

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 21/08/2026

Here’s some Card of the Week TLC for #transformerstcg players! For those who guessed Org Wave 9’s Tetrinite-Lined Chassis, or longtime Ark fans who recognized the stratagem it was based on, Ark Wave One’s Advanced Technology, congratulations!

Card of the Week: Org Wave 9's Tetrinite-Lined Chassis // Decepticon Shockwave, Cybertron Commander

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 13/08/2026

Better advice though: play better cards! Even with black battle icons still a factor in the game, you’ll get better results when playing Tough with Secret Actions like Hidden Fortification. If you want the kind of defensive effect Overheat wishes it provided, look no further than Dampening Field.

Here's some official cards that outperform Overheat, as well as community cards that do the same.

100

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 13/08/2026

We hesitate to congratulate those #transformerstcg CotW readers who guessed Overheat would be this week’s selection, because this Secret Action is outperformed by several alternatives in both official and community play, and because it comes frustratingly close to being better than it actually is.

Overheat from Wave 4 is one of those Cards of the Week where we feel the need to apologize, because it's a real stinker.

We're going on vacation! As such, we’ll soon be suspending Storefront operations for US orders until 09/01, and we’ll keep open the US product pages until Sunday night. However, non-US international items will remain open. Check out our new items! store.transformerstcg.org #transformerstcg

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 06/08/2026

For this Card of the Week, we’re including this “Nightfall” deck list, featuring both Fangry and a popular character from Wave 8: Waste|Lands: Tread Bolt // Devil of the Deep Blue Sky! Fangry's mill ability is a perfect match for Tread Bolt's devilish attack abilities, fueled by deck shuffles.

Fangry's mill ability helps fuel devilishly power hits by Tread Bolt in this "Nightfall" deck!

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 06/08/2026

Turbo Revving Old Punks fans, we’ve got your #transformerstcg Card of the Week! For those who guessed Fangry // Cursed Nightmare from last week’s clue, congratulations on your knowledge of arcane horrors! And a horror he is, sharing a familiar face with Wave 5’s Fangry // Sky Tracker.

The Card of the Week, Fangry // Cursed Nightmare, made its community debut in Turbo Revving Old Punks' Monster Menagerie in late 2021

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 30/07/2026

To show what Resilience can do in modern play, we’re sharing a variation on one of our starter deck recipes that features Brawn and Sergeant Barricade: a deck we’ve named “The Thin Brawn Line.” This mixed deck is designed to frustrate opponents relying on moderate amounts of Bold.

110

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 30/07/2026

Congratulations to those CotW readers who guessed Resilience, the Wave 5 stratagem for Brawn // Demolitions! In the final months of the #transformerstcg game’s official support, the Resilience stratagem helped Brawn stay strong a bit longer.

July 30, 2026 Card of the Week: Resilience // Brawn, Demolitions

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 23/07/2026

We wanted this commemoration to be special, so we invited the exceptional @sidvenblu.com to illustrate Ablative Encasement, and we hope her art serves the card and honors Eddie’s memory.

The art for this commemorative version of Ablative Encasement was lovingly illustrated by community artist Sid VenBlu

"Now witness the genesis of your destruction!" Corrupted Sword of Fury is a Weapon in the upcoming #transformerstcg release War|Void that helps Heralds and Chaosbringers spend Void power. The spectacular art was crafted by @jamesotron.bsky.social . Can you guess its barbarous inspiration?

The Corrupted Sword of Fury is an upcoming Weapon in the Transformers TCG that helps Scourge (or any other Herald or Chaosbringer) spend some of the Void power that he and his minions were spending the game accruing. Already bringing value to the table with a base of Bold 2, Scourge can additionally Channel the Void (assuming you're also playing cards with the Void expands) in order to move 1 damage to the defender on attack.

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 13/01/2026

Also, to celebrate the release of the new beta: the OW9 Unicron dice! If you're in the US, you can get these dice and wreak chaos across the #transformerstcg table. And each order of dice earns you a pair of exclusive Electrum cards crucial for gameplay. OW9 Unicron dice: ko-fi.com/s/9a3c2a80cd

021

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 13/01/2026

With 43 characters, 81 battle cards, and 44 stratagems, War|Void brings the Unicron faction, with their might in their central mechanic: the Void. Unicron cards can fill the Void: a new stratagem that holds chaos counters. Channel those chaos counters for abilities worthy of the Chaosbringer.

For theming and design, as Sharpened Talons featured Wingspan, Infiltration Shroud in turn features his clone companion Pounce, as he appeared in IDW. In Public Beta testing, Infiltration Shroud often finds itself in Scrapheap decks. The easy +2 🛡️ (as provided by Scrapheap’s ability) is potent.

000

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 28/12/2025

The answer: Infiltration Shroud. Luckily, for those that may ask “Did you just replace Armored Plating with Infiltration Shroud?” – Hasbro/WotC themselves had already replaced Armored Plating by other official, no-condition, 🟦 +🛡️ Armors like Electro-Optical Visor and Emergency Repair Patch.

Transformers TCG community card Infiltration Shroud.

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 28/12/2025

One gap was presented by the Wave 5 card Sharpened Talons, a +2 ⚔️ Weapon with a 🟩 battle icon. Though the question “Did Hasbro/WotC replace Primary Laser by designing Sharpened Talons?” is a fair one, a question we posed as designers was “What would the Armor version of Sharpened Talons look like?”

transformerstcg.org @transformerstcg.org · 28/12/2025

Much of community #transformerstcg design surrounds trying to find gaps in gameplay never explored by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast. This search for the gaps led to the design of community cards like Patrol the Perimeter in Wave 8: Waste|Lands.
