Metroplex Deck FAQ

METROPLEX DECK cards follow the Transformers TCG Advanced Rules in this document, with a few additions:

• SCAMPER, SIX-GUN, and SLAMMER don't count toward your 25-star character card team limit when playing with METROPLEX.
• Those 3 characters start the game under METROPLEX, and each can be deployed once during the game.
• When one is deployed, put it onto the battlefield untapped and in alt mode. It can attack that turn.
• If SCAMPER, SIX-GUN, or SLAMMER is KO'd, put it into your KO area. It doesn't go back under METROPLEX.
• You don't lose the game until all your characters are KO'd. Even if METROPLEX is KO'd, you're still in the game if SCAMPER, SIX-GUN, or SLAMMER is on the battlefield.

Q: Can Metroplex be played with any other characters? A: No. Because Metroplex has 25 stars, he alone hits the limit. The three characters that start under him don't count toward the 25-star limit.

Q: If I'm not playing with Metroplex, can I have Scamper, Six-Gun, or Slammer on my team? A: Sure. Those three characters can be played with other decks or with other teams, as long as you stay under the 25-star limit.

Q: While Scamper, Six-Gun, and Slammer are under Metroplex, do their abilities work? A: No. They're not on the battlefield yet, so none of their abilities work. Similarly, they can't attack or defend. For example, if your opponent plays an Action that does damage to each of your characters, the ones under Metroplex won't be affected.

Q: What happens when I deploy one of the characters under Metroplex? A: You put it onto the battlefield untapped in alt mode. It's now one of your characters, so you choose it as your attacking character that turn if you want to. If you haven't already flipped one of your characters for the turn, you can flip the newly-deployed character.

Q: Do I have to deploy Scamper first? A: No. You can choose any of the characters under Metroplex. You don't have to deploy them in any particular order.

Q: What happens when Scamper, Six-Gun, or Slammer is KO'd? A: If that happens, they go to your KO area. They don't go back under Metroplex.

Q: If Metroplex gets KO'd, but I've deployed other characters to the battlefield, do I lose? A: Not yet! And maybe not at all! As long as you have a character on the battlefield, the game continues. However, once Metroplex is KO'd, characters you hadn't deployed yet won't be able to enter the battlefield. They won't be in the KO area. But don't worry about that. Focus on your epic comeback!

Q: Um, I don't know how to tell you this, but... I think you forgot to print Slammer's bot mode. A: Slammer has only alt mode. It is a combat drone, after all. It can't flip. Ignore any effect that tries to flip it.

Protected by Metroplex

Q: What happens if Metroplex is KO'd, but the upgraded character is still on the battlefield? A: In that case, Protected by Metroplex will have no effect. The upgraded character will take damage as normal.

Q: Can I put Protected by Metroplex on Metroplex? A: Yes, but it wouldn't really do anything. Any damage Metroplex would take would just happen normally.
