Source:Golden Disk destinies

LikePower of the Primesbefore it, theWar for Cybertron: Kingdomtoyline made use of a collectible card play pattern, with each mass-retail Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader class toy including one randomly-packed card. Styled after theGolden Disk,the cards featured one possible destiny of a keyKingdomcharacter, revealed by peeling the card's illustrated holofoil face away and uncovering an illustration and an "Ancient Autobot"coded message relevant to that character. Each character was advertised as having three destiny variants across four waves, alongsideUnicrongetting a single card in wave 4, adding up to a total of sixteen cards.^[1][2]

Across five central characters, each wave features four cards with a unique destiny for the four characters chosen in that wave. The destinies vary from references to past-Transformerswork to new concepts. The illustrations sometimes feature new color schemes or designs for the characters.

Notes

• TheArk's sticker is reused from thepromotional artfor theEarthrise"Galactic Odyssey Collection."
• TheArk's third card, "Autobot Ark", is cropped from the packaging art for theKingdomTitan Class Autobot Arktoy. As such, it depicts the character in both modes, grabbing hold ofSiegeMegatron,recreating the final battle inKingdomepisode 5.It is also the only destiny so far to actually happen in theWar for Cybertroncartoon's main timeline.
• Blackarachnia's sticker art is reused from themainKingdomartwork.
• Blackarachnia's first card is herKingdompackage art recolored to evoke herTransmetal 2Maximal body. As the original package art featured Dinobot,Waspinator,andScorponok,they remain on the card as well.
• Blackarachnia's second card is based on herMasterpiecetoycolored like herKingdomtoy,and featuresRetrax,Manterror,Buzz Saw,Buzzclaw,and "new" characterPredaking,all of which do not haveWar for Cybertron Trilogytoys.
• Blackarachnia's third card, "Darkarachnia", homages thereformattingsequence fromThe Transformers: The Movie,though Blackarachnia herself is mostly recolored from her second card, somewhat evokingher appearancein "The Trigger, Part 2".
• Dinobot's sticker art is reused from themainKingdomartwork.
• Dinobot's first card features strangely pallid colours on his body, including green eyes, possibly to evoke his appearance when he was moving to intercept Soundwave withAirazorinKingdomepisode 3.Scorponok, Airazor, Blackarachnia,Cheetor,andRattrapare present, with the last three also reused from theirKingdomtoys' package art.
• Dinobot's second card is reused from thepackage artof hisBeast Wars10th Anniversary toy.
• Dinobot's third card, "Dinomus", homages the reformatting sequence fromThe Transformers: The Movie,and is the first (and so far, only) wholly new design.
• Megatron's first card depicts him in hisSiegebody with new accessories including a shoulder pauldron, an axe, and a shield resembling his Voyager Class toy's sword. This art was later reused as the package art of the thirdWar for Cybertron Trilogyspoiler pack.
• Megatron's second card, Galvatron, is reused from the package art of theKingdomGalvatron toy.
• Megatron's third card once again depicts him in hisSiegebody, and featuresStarscream,Soundwave,Ratbat,Brunt,Spinister,ReflectorandFrenzy/Rumbleamong other generics in a crowd.
• Optimus Prime's sticker art is miscolored, as the silver stripe on his torso is applied right under his chest windows instead of the upper 'rib' areas on either side of his grille.
• Optimus Prime's first card depicts hisEarthriseAlternate Universe Optimus Prime toy.
• Optimus Prime's second card is reused from his sticker art, and featuresOptimus Primal,Rhinox,Airazor (reused art from Dinobot's first card), andBumblebee,albeit with two left feet. Unfortunately, this means it also retains the miscoloring from the sticker art.
• Optimus Prime's third card, Nemesis Prime, homages the reformatting sequence fromThe Transformers: The Movie,though Optimus Prime himself is recolored from his first card.
