Transform and roll out!
The Autobots are brave robot warriors hailing from the planet Cybertron. Their mission? To stop the Decepticons from enacting their evil schemes on Earth.
In Transformers Deck-Building Game, you take on the role of one of the mighty Autobots. Travel and explore the Matrix and transform between your different modes as you gain allies, find relics, and acquire technology to do battle with the Decepticons. But be warned! As your deck grows, more powerful Decepticons will rise up to challenge you.
Transformers Deck-Building Game can be played competitively or as a co-operative experience. This core set will begin your collection with everything needed to play, but the battle is far from over as playable Decepticons are on the way to expand your game.

There are some great ideas but it never quite works for me. I like transforming, I like the merging of the game board and market, and the non-deterministic boss combat is a really nice change in a deck builder. However, competitive is a thematic mess and not very fun - the "stealing the kill" mechanic would be better suited for something like Suicide Squad. Cooperative is better but still has some wonky rules. The best we've found is playing cooperative without the "gain energon instead of VP" rule, but it's still not really a game I want to return to.

The rules are convoluted and the game seems to use a lot of words all which could have been condensed down. The gameplay itself is fine, but the randomness of the facedown grid adds an unnecessary element of luck that doesn't mesh well with the mechanisms.
