2003 Fleer Transformers Armada trading cards helped unveil a new continuity for the classic robot franchise. The checklist is big and provides a good amount of variety. However, content is normally only as good as what it’s based on and the Armada line didn’t last long.
The main base set comes with 122 cards and it’s divided into a couple of sections. The first two-thirds of the checklist revolve around the show’s characters. Taken as a whole, they provide a lot of details and information. Next are four different nine-card puzzles. The final cards are a checklist and a Transformers Engeron preview card, the sequel to Armada.
Every pack of 2003 Fleer Transformers Armada comes with a gold parallel card. These are virtually identical to the base cards except there’s some gold coloring in the nameplate instead of grey.
Inserts come in a few different varieties. Comic Art cards go beyond the animated series and into the comic books. Twelve regular versions are inserted 1:9 packs. A Pat Lee autograph was also available via redemption.
Other inserts include Autobots/Decpeticons Die-Cuts (nine cards, 1:6 packs), etched foil Poster cards (ten cards, 1:9) and eight Flapper cards (1:18).
Select toys expanded the base set to 130 cards. Instead of the traditional bio cards, these figures included an Energon base card numbered 123-130. These are not usually taken into consideration with complete sets.
