Credits

transformerstcg.org is built and maintained by a small team, and much of what is on it exists because of work other people did first. This page covers the website. Credits for the cards themselves, including artists and per-release contributors, belong with the cards and will live in db.

Team Bayformers

Thanks to the entirety of the historical Team Bayformers roster, who maintained bayformers.net and grew the game content it carried. The site is offline now, and its writing is being archived here as an ongoing effort; what has been recovered so far is collected under bayformers.net.

The roster after the game’s cancellation and during the Allied Crossplay era:

  • [BF] billmoo — founder
  • [BF] Dzinny — founder
  • [BF] Champion — founder
  • [BF] The Flash — founder
  • Hawkhammer
  • Tankhunter48
  • Wheeljank

Rules and Rulings Preservation

The rulings archive on this site would not exist without work done elsewhere first.

Henri Yandell (Jihen) catalogued the Transformers TCG rules and rulings in public repositories at github.com/tftcg, including the FAQ sources and the tooling that generates them. That catalogue is what made it possible to publish the Rulings archive here. He also served on the Aequitas Committee, below.

Aequitas Committee

The Aequitas Committee was a community rules body that operated from 2020 to 2022, serving as a central rules authority for the Transformers TCG after official support ended. Their Rules Roundups are preserved in the Rulings archive, and their tournament rules work underpins Tournament Rules.

The committee was proposed and its charter written by Joseph Baiocchi (nismojoe), who was not himself a member.

Its seven members were:

  • Enrico Borriello (Computron’s Lab)
  • Carl Endres (Technomagus)
  • Cameron Ehteshami (cehteshami)
  • Dan Arnold (Silverghst22)
  • Nick Petrasiti (BoA - Nick)
  • Henri Yandell (Jihen)
  • Wes Robinson (BoA - Wes)

The Game Itself

The Transformers Trading Card Game exists because Hasbro created the Transformers property and Wizards of the Coast made a trading card game out of it. Everything on this site is downstream of that work, and the community continuation would have nothing to continue without it. Our thanks to both.

TRANSFORMERS and related character names and marks are trademarks of Hasbro. transformerstcg.org is a community-run project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hasbro or Wizards of the Coast.

This Website

The site is adapted from the Astro News theme by Mohammad Rahmani, used under the MIT license. The layout, article model, and much of the component structure started as his work.
