Transformers: The Chess Collection - Official First Look

Get a first look at the Transformers G1 Chess Set as Hero Collector joins with Hasbro to launch their first-ever Kickstarter campaign. The chess set will feature 32 unique game pieces - 16 for the heroic Autobots and 16 for the villainous Decepticons - created specifically for the Kickstarter and modeled on the classic 1980s Generation One (G1) Transformers animated cartoon. Each model is digitally sculpted, then cast in metallic resin and painted by hand. The sculpts, which show the Transformers in their robot form, were developed with Hasbro and are based on the original animation designs and careful study of the animated series. The Kickstarter launched on August 13, 2021 with a delivery date of Q4 2022. A variety of backer gifts are planned for fans who want to go the distance in bringing this game to life - including a Transformers pin badge, Transformers profile book, and more exclusive Gen-1 chess pieces. #IGN
