2007 Topps Transformers bring some of the action from Michael Bay’s live-action spin to trading cards. Much like the film franchise, it’s hit and miss as far as quality content goes. In some regards, it has big stuff. In other regards, it might leave you feeling a little empty.
The 90-card base set covers a lot of ground. From characters (human and Cybertronian) to story recaps to off-shoot items like video games and comics, it squeezes a lot onto a relatively small checklist.
Hobby boxes are where the premium inserts are.
That includes a total of one autograph. From a quantity standpoint, it’s a disappointment, especially with such a large cast. That said, it’s one of the most valuable cards released that decade — Megan Fox. Although her career path has appeared to have slowed somewhat, this is still considered a major card in every regard.
Sketch cards land every third hobby box. Generally speaking, the quality of the drawing is solid but there isn’t a ton of detail and even less color. A dozen artists contributed to the set.
Finally, there are two Movie Memorabilia cards. These could certainly be considered disappointing. While both have costume pieces, they’re about as generic as you can get. They come from SOCCENT Soldiers and not even connected to a specific actor. The image used on both of the cards is the same as well.
2007 Topps Transformers Movie trading cards have three additional insert set. Foil and Embossed Foil cards both have ten cards and land 1:6 packs. Flix Pix Motion cards, which show a Transformer going from a vehicle to a robot, are exclusive to retail packs.
