The Transformers card game has been rapidly expanding and taking on different parts of the Transformers lore over its waves. One thing it hasn't quite gotten to yet is exploring other properties outside of the G1 continuity, which I'm hoping does happen soon before there are plenty of other Transformers franchises in history that deserve their own wave in this awesome card game. I'm a big fan of the live action movies as fun, robot smash up movies, and I've made a list already going over the top character cards I wanted from the whole film franchise; however, here I'm focusing in on that first film that released in 2007. So with a smaller cast to choose from, I'm starting at the beginning with my top 5 most wanted Transformers TCG cards from Transformers 2007.

5. Bonecrusher
Once again Bonecrusher makes the list, but just like before I'm placing him at the bottom just because I'm not sure how they'll make his card unique or really stand out to gimmick with his character. I love the design of this bot, especially the roller blades and claw on the back, so hopefully the card team can come up with a card great enough to go with this iconic movie bot.

4. Jazz
Jazz was easily my favorite Autobot coming out of the first film. I loved his cool personality and the slick design he was given that really gave him a streamlined feel along with a concrete sense of characterization. He was the sole Autobot death of the first film in what has become an iconic movie scene, but the fact that Jazz stood up to Megatron by itself was an impressive feat. Give the card "Brave," and I'll be happy.

3. Ironhide
Ironhide was another Autobot from that first film and one that I think made a great translations to the big screen! He was a bulky, tough Autobot veteran with two large cannons to boot and a hulking, black truck mode that exuded power. He definitely came across as one of the most powerful Autobots of the movie franchise and a card similarly revolving around his strength would work perfectly. It would be even sweeter is his cannons were included as weapons in the battle card set similar to Ironhide's featured weapon from wave 1 of the card game.

2. Brawl
Back into the Decepticon realm, the first film really had the best line up of Decepticons in my opinion (barring the Constructicons in the follow up film) and Brawl was one of the best. Essentially alone he took on the Autobots and human forces in the city, taking massive damage and still getting up even after having his arm sawed off for example. The Decepticon brute should be high in attack and defense, not to mention being another tank to add to the ranks.

1. Blackout
The opening of the film still remains as one of my favorite scenes from the movie franchise as Blackout completely decimates the military base in his search for information. It really gave a new look to the Transformers that hadn't been seen before in media, and our first look as a live action Transformer displayed the complexity and beautiful CGI possibilities that were to come. Blackout also had an awesome display, and I would argue he is even deserving of a super rare in the set, and at the very least a rare for his power.
