The Transformers make their way from BRO Set Boosters into three new Secret Lairs. No new cards, but a lot of reskins like the Warhammer 40,000 Secret Lairs.
Transformers: Optimus Prime vs Megatron is the first Lair, showcasing Prime as Darksteel Colossus and Megatron as Blightsteel Colossus (no wonder Megatron beat him in the 1986 movie... except he's a tank here). We get them in DFC form, to showcase the robot mode on one side and vehicle mode on the other. With them is this DFC AllSpark representing a Doubling Cube.
I hope this drives down the price of double masters blightsteel. I really do not want to ever play a transformers version of that card (or any of these cards) in my decks, they are so incongruous with magic cards.
That said, I do like that they used the 1986 movie for these, because that movie rocks.

Im actually on the same boat i would rather have a normal blightsteel art than the megatron one (for phyrexian flavor)
infact to be on guard to make sure there isn't a mystical archive in "Phyrexia all will be one" with Phyrexian creatures
(Theory of archive for phyrexians comes from A. Loophole to reprint “infect” phyrexians without making them pioneer legal. And B. To reprint all the 2.0 praetors again after their appearances on other planes.)
This isn't UB though, it's just reskins of cards. Godzilla skins weren't UB either. This is a fine deal, but I'm still not buying this as I have no use for these cards.
Creative-wise, I'd definitely go for the first set of Transformers cards over these. These reskins seem completely uninspired and even off-flavour at points in comparison (it's jarring seeing Megatron as part-Phyrexian).

It's still very much UB just like all the reskinned 40K cards. Being a new card is not a requirement for something to be UB. If it's an outside IP it's UB. Godzilla is also UB, except they didn't give it that name yet back then.

Difference being those with issues with UB tend to be okay with the skins, so the very idea that everyone that hates UB hates this isn't true. This reskin was exactly the perfect compromise of a problem before it existed.
I really wish I'd know what UB is supposed to mean. Unnecessary Bling? Unfun Bigotry? Unlimited Borderless?

Spoiler EditorTransformers: Optimus Prime vs Megatron is the first Lair, showcasing Prime as Darksteel Colossus and Megatron as Blightsteel Colossus (no wonder Megatron beat him in the 1986 movie... except he's a tank here). We get them in DFC form, to showcase the robot mode on one side and vehicle mode on the other. With them is this DFC AllSpark representing a Doubling Cube.
Transformers: Roll Out or Rise Up is the second Lair, containing moments from the 1986 film across six cards. These include True Conviction, Dramatic Reversal, Fabricate, Collective Brutality, By Force, and Greater Good.
Finally, Transformers: One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall is the obligatory basic land Secret Lair, set on some Cybertronian landscapes.
As always, each Lair costs $29.99 for a nonfoil set and $39.99 for a foil set.

simplicity…Blightsteel colossus is in it and that is a $60+ card and it’s Satoru Umezawa fault for that price

StaffThe second one is about 20 non-foil, so only worth it if you want the art.
The lands are pretty.
Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
Factions: Sleeping
Remnants: Valheim
Legendary Journey: Heroes & Planeswalkers
Saga: Shards of Rabiah
Legends: The Elder Dragons
Read up on Red Flags & NWO
EDIT: ******* TILL all are one lmao
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
