Life with Sprogs's Articles

A parenting, travel and geek culture blog that carried two of Wizards of the Coast Australia's exclusive Transformers TCG card reveals in 2019.

Life with Sprogs is written by Lisamaree, who started it in 2007 to document first-time parenthood. “Sprog” is her colloquial term for a child. An expatriate New Zealander who counts Sydney as home, she moved the family to Hong Kong in 2008 and spent close to a decade there before returning to Australia. The blog covers parenting, travel, food and cake decorating, and what she calls being a geek mum: Transformers, superheroes, comics and science fiction. She collects Transformers figures.

Its Transformers TCG coverage ran from November 2018 to May 2019, and twice Wizards of the Coast Australia and Hasbro Australia supplied her with an exclusive reveal. The first, in February 2019, gave the first look at the Wave 2 battle cards Inferno Breath and Surprise Attack. The second is archived here as War for Cybertron Exclusive Reveal – Sergeant Skrapnel, revealing Sergeant Skrapnel // Infantry • Electronic Warfare four weeks before Wave 3 reached Australian shelves on June 28, 2019. Around the reveals she wrote up the Wave 2 release and kept card lists for Waves 1 and 2.

Both reveal posts sent readers to Big Angry Trev, who was running reveals of his own for the same wave. The May post names his as Private Stakeout // Infantry • Communications, revealed the day before.
