Protecting Transformers TCG Cards
The Transformers TCG is a fun, light card game featuring a deck of battle cards and a selection of characters. The character cards possess the mechanic to “transform” by flipping over their card to show different artwork, stats, and abilities. Transformers TCG was introduced at the 2018 Gen Con. Since then, the game has released a number of even-larger, Titan Character Cards. To protect all these cards, BCW offers several solutions:
Battle Cards – standard size
Deck Guards – clear sleeves
Deck Guards – various colors of sleeves
Elite2 Deck Guards – various colors of premium sleeves
18-Pocket Binder Pages – various colors
Mini-Bot Character Cards – standard size
Deck Guards – clear sleeves
Regular Character Cards – 3.5″ x 5″
89mm x127mm Board Game Sleeves – clear sleeves
3.5″ x 5″ Toploaders – clear, rigid PVC
Note the 89mm x 127mm Sleeve will not fit inside the 3.5″ x 5″ Toploaders.
4-Pocket Pages – for storing cards in 3-ring binder
Folding Combiner Cards – 3.5″ x 5″ when flat / standard size when folded
Card protection depends upon your preference, as some players prefer to not fold their cards. If you fold these cards, Side-Loading Inner Sleeves are a good solution, with one sleeve on each side of the fold. If you prefer to keep the card flat, then the 3.5″ x 5″ sleeves or toploaders are recommended.
Titan Character Card – 5 5/8″ x 7 7/8″
6″ x 8″ Sleeves – clear polypropylene
6″ x 8″ Toploaders – clear, rigid PVC
Comic Pages – for storing Titan Cards in a 3-ring binder
Prime X4 Gaming Box
The Prime X4 Gaming Box is ideal for storing and transporting Transformers TCG cards. It features a secure, latching lid with beveled insets that keep cards in their cells. Each cell holds 60, single-sleeved cards. Two cells can be combined by removing the divider between them to open up space for oversize cards (in toploaders too). The dice tray is removable and you can store one of the cell dividers beneath it. The Prime X4 also features a tray that is great for tokens, pencils and pens, and poker chips. This gaming box was designed with Transformers TCG in mind, but also works great for Pokemon, KeyForge, Magic: The Gathering, and many other games.
It’s a shame the 89mmx127mm sleeves will not fit within the 3.5×5 toploaders. I’ve found that I have to buy the 88mmx125mm sleeves from MayDay Games in order to have them fit within the toploaders. Why didn’t BCW have smaller sleeves made that would fit within the toploaders?
When planning the new card sleeves, we did not accommodate for that sleeve and toploader pairing. We sized the sleeves with a standard border, not the snug fit required for that combination. I’m glad you found a solution for your needs.
Will there be a deck box that can hold cards in toploders and a deck of sleeved cards?
We’re working on a solution now. More details soon. Thanks
Very interested in this! How many over-sized Transformers Hero cards in hard top-loaders can fit in a single side?
Each side will hold 22 character cards. Wreck ‘n Rule describes this here: https://youtu.be/kugpjD2YldQ?t=282 He discovered other toploaders (not BCW brand), are too wide for that cell in the box.
Greetings,
Is there no white storage box solution to hold what is now several hundred 35″x5″ bot cards fpr this game alone? Add in other games that use oversized cards and I have to assume there is a market for this type of thing.
We don’t have any boxes that will store the larger 3.5″ x 5″ cards in a vertical orientation, but you can turn the cards horizontally to fit in most cardboard boxes.
