About the game
Get ready for action with Transformers Deck-Building Game! Here, you step into the shoes of a brave Autobot, ready to defend Earth from the Decepticons' schemes. The mission is clear: travel through the Matrix, explore its secrets, and, of course, transform between your robot and vehicle modes to gain the upper hand. Along your journey, you'll recruit powerful allies, unearth ancient relics, and acquire cutting-edge technology to face the threat looming over our planet. But beware! As your deck of cards grows with new abilities and allies, the Decepticons also become stronger and more dangerous, presenting ever-increasing challenges. This game offers the flexibility to be played either competitively, where everyone fights for themselves, or cooperatively, joining forces against a common enemy. This starter set provides everything you need to begin your collection and dive headfirst into this universe of transforming robots. And the best part: the battle is far from over, with expansions planned to bring more playable Decepticons and further expand your tactical options. It's time to 'roll out' and save the day!
