Thanks to a tip off from fellow Seibertron user Klyeor, we've learned that the 2007 remix of Stan Bush's seminal 'The Touch' has appeared on the Rock Band Network, ready to download into the Harmonix's Rock Band 4 game.

This is the version that Stan Bush re-recorded in the hopes of getting in on Michael Bay's first live-action Transformers movie. It didn't up on the soundtrack, leading Stan to try again, re-mixing the song and adding new rap verses and labelling the song as 'Sam's Theme' and trying to get it added to the second live action movie 'Revenge of the Fallen'. He then edited it again, in 2010, removing the rap verses and created a new music video for it which premiered on YouTube.

Do you plan on playing along to this legendary song? Let us know in the comments and stay turned to Seibertron for more news and reviews.

BOT INTEL REPORT – WHEELJACK
Add Wheeljack to your roster August 9th at 10AM PDT!

Health: 1557
Attack: 137
Max Rating: 562

Basic Abilities: Upgrade, Shock, Power Leak, Repair

Construction

Each time Wheeljack Transforms he begins to Construct a random Upgrade for 4 seconds. [Max 3 Upgrades]
If Wheeljack Is struck by a Critical Melee Hit while Constructing, the Construction Fails and the Upgrade is lost.

Upgrades

Defensive Upgrade: 10~20% Damage Resistance and increases to the chance Special Attacks will inflict Stun by 20%.
Offensive Upgrade: 15~30% Attack Rating and increases the chance Special Attacks will inflict Shock by 20%.
Power Upgrade: 10~20% Power Rate and increases the chance Special Attacks will inflict Power Leak by 20%.
If Wheeljack is struck by a Melee Critical Hit from a Special or Heavy Attack the newest Upgrade constructed will be removed.

Success

If Wheeljack Constructs 3 of the same Upgrade type he randomly Repairs between 10-20% of Max Health.

Signature Ability – Force Shield

Wheeljack’s emergency Force Shield allows him to survive both potentially deadly attacks and catastrophic mishaps in the lab.

75%, 50%, 25% Health

if an enemy attack would reduce Wheeljack’s health below 75%, 50% or 25%, Force Shield will activate, reducing all damage from enemy attacks by 100% for 2~8 seconds.

Special Attacks:

Special 1 – Prototype

Wheeljack puts his latest invention to the test. What could go wrong?

60% Chance to inflict Shock for 3 seconds.
30% Chance to inflict Power Leak for 2 seconds.
10% Chance to deal Stun for 3 second.

Special 2 – Iterate

Some improvements may be prudent.

Randomly Replaces all Upgrades.
60% Chance to inflict Shock, 30% chance to inflict Power Leak, and 10% chance to inflict Stun.

Special 3 – Perfect

All outcomes meet the desired metrics for success.

All Upgrades become the same type as the first Upgrade.
60% Chance to inflict Shock, 30% chance to inflict Power Leak, and 10% chance to inflict Stun.

Synergy Bonuses:

Mutual – Allies – Optimus Prime, Grimlock

+2~8% Armor

Wheeljack provides all Autobot team members a random Passive Upgrade each fight. Upgrades grant either +2~8% Attack Rating, +5~10% Damage Resistance, or +5~15% Power Rate for the duration of the fight.

Outgoing – Brain Gain – Shockwave

Shockwave has a 10~30% chance to inflict Stun for 2 seconds when inflicting 3 or more Shocks simultaneously.

Incoming – Brain Drain – Shockwave

25% Increase to Attack against Demolition Bots. Shockwave only gets this benefit if all bots on his team have this synergy.

Strong Match-ups:

Ironhide – Ironhide’s low Critical Rating for his Melee Attacks will make it difficult for this demo bot to remove Wheeljack’s upgrades.
Galvatron – Galvatron’s powerful burst damage will be contained by Wheeljack’s Force Shield Signature Ability.

Weak Match-ups:

Bumblebee GS – Bee’s ability to Shield Break will ensure the Force Shield is only a minor nuisance.
Drift – Drift’s frequent Critical Melee Hits will throw a wrench in Wheeljack’s plans.

Recommended Modules for Wheeljack:

Tech Console – The tech console will improve Shocks, Shielding and Repair.
Transwarp Cell – The Transwarp Cell mod will ensure that Wheeljack is fully Upgraded by making him use Heavy Attacks more often.

The first is another Question and Answer session from the Transforms Official Trading card game Instagram account, dealing with a few basic questions about the forthcoming Wizards of the Coast Transformers Trading Card Game!

We have an update from GenCon 2018, the gaming convention currently taking place in Indiana, which concerns the Transformers Trading Card Game being developed by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast: apparently, booster sets and decks have been opened and shown, and are probably for sale at the event, meaning that the cards contained in the packs have been photographed and shared on various platforms, including Imgur. We get to see Optimus Prime, Megatron, Cosmos, Sun Storm (which is apparently an exclusive of some kind), Jetfire in both modes, previously seen cards and assorted Battle Cards, including the SDCC exclusives first shown here.

Check the river of mirrored images below, and let us know what you think of the game so far.

Fellow Seibertronians #Sideways# and Nicorange are currently following the slow tease of more information about the Trading Card Game that Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have been developing for Transformers, and after deck reveals, booster packs, new images and the such, we seem to also have another pre-made deck for the Autobot side - featuring Metroplex!

The deck also features Scamper, Six-Gun, and Slammer, plus some special battle cards to use with this first enormously oversized Titan foil card, and lends itself to speculate that once the Decepticon side is brought into the game we'll be seeing some giant purplesaur too. Check out the image of the deck in packaging below, and let us know what you think!

We are excited to bring you a spoiler list of the first booster set for the new Transformers Trading Card game. A big thank you to Nicorange for the tip. The notes at the top tell us 40 Character Cards and 81 Battle Cards are available in this upcoming release. This means that there are 121 cards total in this set. According to Hasbro most packs include a rare battle card but only 1 out of every 79 packs will contain a super rare.

There is a decklist for the Autobot Starter set if you would like to compare cards. We also have a pictorial review of the SDCC exclusive card set which gives us a good first look of these cards in hand to get a better idea about their design.

While the only card image included with the set spoiler is of Decepticon Shockwave // Cybertron Commander we now know which characters will be featured. Since this set won't be out until September 28th, 2018 we have lots of time to speculate what they do and hope for more card images with text. Did your favorite characters make it? If not who would you have liked to see?
