Views: 17,324

ABOUT TANTRUM:
Faction: Decepticon

Class: Brawler

Anger is all Tantrum knows and violence is all he understands, so don’t expect to find reason or measure in his actions. As an ancestor of modern Predacons, Tantrum’s alternate mode serves as a good indicator of his skillset and overall bullish temperament.

STATS AND ABILITIES:
2-Star:

Health: 1942
Attack: 181
Max Rating: 533
3-Star:

Health: 4768
Attack: 385
Max Rating: 1292
4-Star:

Health: 12392
Attack: 1000
Max Rating: 3484
BASIC ABILITIES: MELEE BUFF, UNSTOPPABLE, BURN
Passive

The bot’s naturally tough Cybertronian exterior permanently provides 10% passive Armor.
Tantrum gains an additional 25% passive Armor while Dashing forward.
Dashing and Dodging

Dashing towards the opponent has a 100% Chance to grant a Melee Buff, increasing Melee Damage by 15~24%. [Max 10 stacks]
If Tantrum Dodges backwards he loses all Melee Buffs.
Heavy Attacks

2% Chance for each Melee Buff on Tantrum to Stun the opponent for 2 seconds.
Blocking

Holding Block allows Tantrum to Charge an Unstoppable Buff. After Charging for 1.5 seconds, Tantrum becomes Unstoppable for 3.5~4.5 seconds and does not lose Melee Buffs when Dodging backwards.
Charging Unstoppable is 8% faster for each Melee Buff on Tantrum.
Once Unstoppable expires Tantrum must Cool Off and cannot recharge his Unstoppable for 5 seconds.
SIGNATURE ABILITY – FRENZY
Tantrum’s attacks become wild and unpredictable, punching through enemy defenses and ignoring their damaging debuffs.

Every 3 Melee Bonus Buffs

When Tantrum gains 3 Melee Bonus Buffs he gains Frenzy, granting +10~70% Critical Chance and a 20% chance to be Unblockable for 6 seconds. Additionally, when Tantrum becomes Frenzied, he Purifies all Damaging Debuffs and cannot be inflicted with further Damaging Debuffs for the duration of Frenzy.
SPECIAL ATTACKS:
Special 1 – Flamethrower

Tantrum is always hot headed.

10% chance for each Melee Buff on Tantrum to inflict Burn, dealing heat damage equal to 50~70% of Attack Rating over 4 seconds.
Special 2 – Electro-Sword

Prepare to be jolted by the impact.

10% Chance for each Melee Buff on Tantrum to Stun the opponent for 3 seconds.
Special 3 – Bull Rush

Unyielding, unblockable, and completely unstoppable.

Tantrum gains 3 Attack Buffs and goes Unstoppable for 7.5~9.5 seconds.
SYNERGY BONUSES:
Mutual – Allies – Galvatron

+2~8% Armor
Mutual – Enemies – Blaster, Arcee

+2~8% Attack
Outgoing – Beast Ancestor – All Beast War Bots

After each Heavy Attack, this bot gains a Beast Fury buff that grants Attacks a 5~15% chance to be Unblockable for 6 seconds.
STRONG MATCH-UPS:
Bonecrusher: Bonecrusher’s uncanny ability to inflict Bleeds will be soundly thwarted when Tantrum becomes Frenzied, leaving the walking cactus without many options.
Optimus Primal: Primal builds Melee Buffs when attacking into a Blocking opponent, but forcing Tantrum to Block for too long will set off this bullish bot’s Unstoppable ability.
WEAK MATCH-UPS:
Starscream: Tantrum will learn that his brute strength does nothing in the face of Starscream’s Null Ray.
Dinobot: Dinobot was forged to be a bullfighter.
RECOMMENDED MODULES FOR TANTRUM:
Transwarp Cell: Ensuring Tantrum uses his Heavy Attack often is key to keep the enemy pinned down.
Exo-Filter: The time Tantrum spends Unstoppable might just outweigh the times he is not.

Today, Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast revealed new details of the upcoming TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game. Players build a new deck composed of TRANSFORMERS character cards (which are twice the size of standard cards and can be flipped from bot-mode to alt-mode and back) and power them up with battle cards.

At launch, players can look forward to the AUTOBOTS Starter Set and Booster Packs to enhance their decks, though fans can get their first look at the game with the Convention Edition at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 where fans can get exclusive cards that are available in limited quantities.

TRANSFORMERS TRADING CARD GAME IS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

TRANSFORMERS TCG from Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to Launch Later in 2018; Fans to Get Sneak Peek with Convention Edition Item at San Diego Comic-Con and Gen Con

PAWTUCKET, RI AND RENTON, WA–JULY 10, 2018 – Hasbro, Inc., a global play and entertainment company, and Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro and the publishers of the seminal trading card game Magic: The Gathering, provided more details today about a trading card game inspired by Hasbro’s iconic TRANSFORMERS franchise: the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game. Designed for players ages 8 and up, the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game will be available for purchase in the United States and certain other markets later in 2018.

The TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game is a fast, easy-to-learn action battling card game designed for two players. Players build a team of TRANSFORMERS character cards and power them up with a customizable deck of battle cards. TRANSFORMERS character cards are huge – character cards in the AUTOBOTS Starter Set and Booster Packs are twice the size of standard playing cards, and can be flipped from bot mode to alt mode and back – and feature premium printing treatment on one of their sides. The deck of battle cards features Action and Upgrade cards to enhance TRANSFORMERS character cards.

“The TCG format lets us pull TRANSFORMERS characters from across the brand’s massive history. From Bumblebee to Sunstorm – the game is digging deep into the TRANSFORMERS lore,” said Drew Nolosco, TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Brand Manager. “We can even focus on different aspects of the same character. Optimus Prime, for example, is immensely powerful in combat, but he’s also a master tactician. The Transformers TCG will let players explore the characters’ depth through engaging and tactical gameplay.”


At launch, TRANSFORMERS fans can look forward to the following:

· AUTOBOTS Starter Set - The AUTOBOTS Starter Set contains cards for two players to begin gameplay, and features OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, IRONHIDE and RED ALERT character cards. It will be available for purchase at retailers in the United States beginning on Sept. 28, 2018, and in certain other markets later in 2018.

· TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Booster Packs - Players can add to their character card teams and battle card decks for full gameplay with Booster Packs. Each Booster Pack contains 1 TRANSFORMERS character card and 7 battle cards from a pool of 40 character cards and 81 battle cards. Booster Packs will be sold separately and available for purchase at retailers in the United States beginning on Sept. 28, 2018, and in certain other markets later in 2018.


Fans can get a first look at four cards for the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game in July with the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Convention Edition. Limited quantities will be available for purchase at Comic-Con International 2018 in San Diego, Gen Con 2018 in Indianapolis and through the Hasbro Toy Shop at HasbroToyShop.com, where available, after the conventions. The TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Convention Edition contains two TRANSFORMERS character cards (CLIFFJUMPER – RENEGADE WARRIOR and SLIPSTREAM – STRATEGIC SEEKER) and two battle cards (All-Out Attack and Tandem Targeting System) not available in the AUTOBOTS Starter Set or the TRANSFORMERS Trading Card Game Booster Packs.

Add Autobot Jazz to your ultimate squad June 7th at 10AM PDT!
About Autobot Jazz:

Faction: Autobot

Class: Scout

One of Optimus’ closest advisers, Autobot Jazz is the bot to go to if a creative solution is needed. Autobot Jazz is well-versed in the pop-culture trends of the Earthlings and is likely to get distracted dancing to a catchy beat and break out the local slang.
Stats and Abilities:

2-Star:

Health: 1575
Attack: 175
Max Rating: 561

3-Star:

Health: 3866

Max Rating: 3519

Basic Abilities: Confusion, Evade, Critical Rate

Heavy Attack

100% Chance to Confuse the opponent, lowering their Attack Rating by 12~20% and increasing the chance they will use a Special Attack for 6 seconds or until their next Special Attack ends. When The opponent is hit by this attack, If they are not already Confused, they do not build power.

Dodging Special Attacks

If Autobot Jazz avoids being hit by the first hit of a Special Attack, he gains an Evasion Buff, granting him a 36~44% chance to Evade attacks for 6 seconds.

Combo Meter

Every 5 hits on the Combo Meter, Autobot Jazz gains a Critical Rate Buff, increasing Critical Chance by 5~7% until he is next hit.

Critical Hits

Critical Hits have +20% Critical Damage against Stunned opponents.

Signature Ability – Exhaustion

Sometimes it’s worth letting a Confused opponent tire themselves out.

While Confused, opponents have a 100% chance to lose 1.5~6% of their Current Power for each missed attack. If the opponent slips down to a lower Bar of Power they are Stunned for 1 second.

Special Attacks:

Special 1 – Windmill

Autobot Jazz sets his plans in motion.

Each hit against a Confused opponent has a 20% chance to Stun the opponent for 3 seconds.

Special 2 – Dazzling Display

Confusion abounds.

100% Chance to Confuse the opponent, lowering their Attack Rating by 12~20% and increasing the chance they will use a Special Attack for 6 seconds or until their next Special Attack ends.
Disables the opponent’s Special Attack 3 for as long as they are Confused.

Special 3 – Grapple and Groove

Overwhelming force, with style.

Inflicts a permanent Backfire Debuff, inflicting 100% of Attack as instant Shock damage when the opponent next activates a Special Attack. This Backfire is not removed when the opponent uses a Special Attack.

Synergy Bonuses:

Outgoing – Lieutenants – Optimus Prime

Optimus gains 2~8% Attack and Armor and his Lieutenants gain unique abilities.

Mutual – Allies – Ratchet, Grimlock

+2~8% Armor.

Mutual – Enemies – Megatron, Shockwave, Bludgeon

+2~8% Attack.

Strong Match-ups:

Soundwave: Soundwave has to connect with his second Special Attack, but Autobot Jazz will ensure that moment comes at a time of this speedy scout’s choosing.
Mixmaster: Mixmaster is reliant on his Special Attacks to do a majority of his damage, a skilled Autobot Jazz player could easily ensure this Demo bot never sees his third Special Attack.

Weak Match-ups:

Drift: Autobot Jazz likes to Evade, he lives to Evade a lot. Drift’s focus prevents Evasion, a lot of Evasion.
Ramjet: Autobot Jazz enjoys seeing his opponents Stunned, but Ramjet can ignore Stuns while he has a lot of Momentum.

Recommended Modules for Autobot Jazz:

Scout’s Sentry

Jazz can easily Power Drain his opponent when both his Signature Ability and the Scout’s Sentry are draining their power.

Strange Refractor

When the opponent Stuns themselves, that’s when Jazz deals the most damage.
