The third wave of Wizards of the Coast's Transformers card game was based upon the new Siege toyline running for the franchise, meaning that many of the characters from the toyline found themselves as cards in the card game. This brought plenty of new characters into the game that hadn't yet received cards, but there is still a few from the toyline that haven't been translated yet that I hope either happens in the upcoming "Siege 2" wave 4 of the TCG, or later in the game's life. So here are the top 5 Transformers Siege toyline characters I want in the Transformers TCG.

5. Spinister
This character was part of the surprise 5th wave of Siege that no one had really expected. I don't know much about him aside from the fact that his name is awesome, and that he is a helicopter. The card game so far doesn't have enough helicopter characters, and is far from having enough, but Spinister would be a good start in that direction as well as just having an awesome name like I mentioned.

4. Skytread
This is just about the only bot to appear in wave 3's battle card art that doesn't have a card in the wave, making him the odd one out and an obvious contender for wave 4. He has a neat design, and his gimmick of transforming into two drones could have the player using both alt modes at once, and when one dies that restricts the character from returning to bot mode. However they handle it, wave 3 was full of obscure characters which I love and this would be another obscure bot in that pile.

3. Apeface
Yet another character from wave 5 of Siege, and not the last on this list, Apeface is one of the coolest looking toys of the line and definitely one of the coolest bots from the show's later seasons. While I don't care much for his bot mode or jet mode, I think his ape mode looks fantastic and I love animal transformers. Triple changers are also a neat gimmick for the card game, and I want some triple changers who are not super rares.

2. Reflector
This bot was one of my favorite Decepticons from the original show. I liked his look, and the fact that he was three different bots but at the same time he was a singular bot. Sadly, he appeared less and less as the show went on until he ultimately disappeared, but he has made a resurgence in the Siege line and hopefully he can appear in the card game soon enough.

1. Astrotrain
Obviously the coolest and most anticipated out of wave 5 of Siege. Astrotrain was a major character in the original show and one that fans remember very fondly. His name is cool, both of his alt modes are cool, and I'm sure there was a bit of conspiracy when he wanted to "lighten his load" of damaged Decepticons because it was too heavy
in space. Blitzwing has already appeared in the game, and now he need his triple changer brother to join him.
