1985 Hasbro Transformers Action Cards Trading Cards
Product Details
1985 Hasbro Trasformers Action Cards are the first trading cards based on the iconic toy line. The set features a large checklist made even more challenging thanks to lots of variations. The set remains extremely popular today as the franchise reaches another generation and original collectors look for a nostalgia fix.
1985 Hasbro Transformers Action Cards have a 192-card checklist. They include both Autotbot and Decepticon profiles as well as recaps from the classic 1980s cartoon. Autobot profiles make up the set's first 41 cards. Megatron, Soundwave and the rest of the Depcepticons get their turn in set between numbers 97 and 122. Profile card fronts have an illustration of the character based on the toy line. The look is distinct from the cartoon with more details. Card backs include a character quote, their specialty and a bio. The bottom of the card includes "Tech Specs," a ten-point ranking of various skills. Many of the profile cards have variations based on the background colors on the front of the cards. This site has a breakdown of them all. Most collectors consider a basic 192-card set to be complete.
The remaining part of the set features story synopses from a handful of cartoon episodes. Images are arranged horizontally with a write-up on the back.
All 1985 Hasbro Transformers Action Cards have rounded corners, similar to a deck of playing cards. The card stock is also similar, including a glossy front.
Every pack also came with one of 24 different mini stickers. Each has a motto or quote from the featured Transformer. Skywarp is considered a short print.
1985 Hasbro Transformers Actions Cards came in eight-card hanger packs. These made them ideal for retail locations. They're also much larger than traditional wax packs.
