Legends Class (2005)

72.243.58.90: /* Regular Japanese releases (EZ Collection) */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] features more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]].

Ratchet and Jazz are also notable for not sporting the [[Trademark|"Autobot" prefixes]] the Hasbro versions (and the TakaraTomy versions of the larger [[Movie (toyline)|Movie toys]]) sported in front of their names.}}

==''Animated''==
[[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]]
However, there were two Target [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two Legends Class figures, which were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line (see below). There is one slight difference in the ''Animated'' Prowl and Bumblebee in the packs than the ''Universe'' single releases. The Target Packs have silver Autobot symbols, while their ''Universe'' releases have the standard red with white backgrounds. Bumblebee, Optimus, and Starscream also have slightly darker paint jobs, with Bumblebee having a darker yellow and windows, and Starscream resembling Thundercracker. Optimus's blue is lighter than the ''Universe'' release.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

There is one slight difference in the ''Animated'' Prowl and Bumblebee in the packs than the ''Universe'' single releases. The Target Packs have silver Autobot symbols, while their ''Universe'' releases have the standard red with white backgrounds. Bumblebee, Optimus, and Starscream also have slightly darker paint jobs, with Bumblebee having a darker yellow and windows, and Starscream resembling Thundercracker. Optimus's blue is lighter than the ''Universe'' release.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

* Special ''Fallen''-themed packaging.
* A ''Fallen''-themed NASCAR Sprint Cup racer, driven by [[Kyle Busch|Kyle Busch]].
* A Free Candy Dispenser with the purchase of 5 Mars candy products at Target.
* Presumably many other exciting things.
