:*''Takara ID number'': '''15'''
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Brawn was part of the original assortment of Autobot [[Mini Vehicle]]s released in 1984. He transforms into an off-road SUV of indeterminate, probably-made-up model, with a non-removable spare tire on the roof.

: Brawn inexplicably has the most confirmed variants out of the 1984 Mini Vehicles, due to a change in his robot mode construction, ''three'' different company stamping arrangements on his vehicle back end, and of course the change from foil insignias on the vehicle mode to a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] in 1985:
:* V1 - Helmet with faceplate & top portions separate from robot chest, "Takara Japan" stamp, foil insignia on hood
:* V2 - Helmet with faceplate & top portions separate from robot chest, "Takara Co Ltd / Japan 1974, 1983" stamp, foil insignia on hood
:* V3 - Entire helmet part of robot chest, "Takara Co Ltd / Japan 1974, 1983" stamp, foil insignia on hood
:* V4 - Entire helmet part of robot chest, "Takara Co Ltd / Japan 1974, 1983" stamp, rubsign on left door
:* V5 - Entire helmet part of robot chest, "Hasbro 1974-1983" stamp added to window, rubsign on left door

: The 1985 Japanese release of "Gong" was sold in a small box instead of on a bubble-card. Only the rubsign variant was available in this market (presumably the final mold variant with the single-piece helmet and Hasbro stamp, but that is not confirmed).

: There are a large number of [[redeco]]es of Brawn in various markets south of the border, which are covered in individual entries below (to reduce the clutter in this one). ''Mostly'' unchanged versions of Brawn were sold in Mexico by [[IGA]] and in Venezuela by [[Rubiplas]]: it's very likely that there are small differences in plastic hues and copyright stampings, and, of course, quality control.

: The mold was first released in 1983 as part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Micro Change]]'' line, but evidence exists to suggest it was originally designed by defunct American toy company Knickerbocker for the cancelled toyline, ''[[Mysterians]]''. Notably, the ''Micro Change'' version was olive green, the same color depicted in his instructions and used for Brawn's animation design, while his actual ''Transformers'' release is forest green.

: The Brawn mold was also used to create the [[Malignus (G1)|Malignus]] [[Jipe (Malignus)#Toys|Jipe]], and [[retool]]ed to make [[Outback (G1)#Toys|Outback]] (except in Mexico, where Outback was a straight redeco of Brawn).

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Jipe''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: Released by [[Estrela]] in Brazil, "Jipe" was available in two different colorations: the original toy's green-and-yellow, or tan-and-sand. This release lacks the Autobot symbols, and the remaining robot-detail stickers are of considerably cheaper quality, and rarely left on loose samples.

: Whether or not he is the same character as either the [[Eletrix]] [[Jipe (Eletrix)#Toys|Jipe]] or the [[Malignus (G1)|Malignus]] [[Jipe (Malignus)#Toys|Jipe]] is unknown.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Brawn''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)}}</ul>

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, Peruvian Brawns lack [[vacuum metallizing|chrome]]. Two different colorations have been confirmed: olive-green-and-cream, and an inverted cream-and-olive-green. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Brawn all told, with the four others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Brawn''' (Keychain, [[2002]]/[[2003]]/[[2007]])}}</ul>

: A keychain version of Brawn was released by [[Hasbro]] licensee [[Fun4All]] as part of the second wave of ''Transformers'' keychains alongside [[Windcharger (G1)#Keychain|Windcharger]]. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the front bumper, which the metal key chain attaches to. The keychains came on pretty close reproductions of their original cardbacks from 1984. These were originally sold in chains like Hot Topic and video game stores, but over the course of several years, found their way even to the racks of Wal-Mart.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots ([[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Keychain|Cliffjumper]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Keychain|Bumblebee]], [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and Brawn) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Gong|an evil clone]] of Brawn.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

:*''Accessories'': Crane/cannon, 2-part spare tire/blades, energon star, energon gauntlet

: A [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Energon Class [[Strongarm (Energon)#Toys|Strongarm]] as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Brawn was part of [[3H Productions]]' proposal for an [[BotCon#Proposed.2FUnreleased exclusives|OTFCC 2005]] convention exclusive set. However, with the financial collapse of 3H Productions in late 2004 and the subsequent transfer of the ''Transformers'' convention license to [[Fun Publications]], all plans for this toy (and its companion piece [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2003)|Roadbuster]]) were scrapped. It would have featured a new head and new snap-on [[Energon weapon]] fists.

:*''Series'': G1 Series
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] toys, Brawn is a new-sculpt toy of the original Brawn inspired by his [[character model]], transforming into a generic SUV that takes some design cues from a {{w|Land Rover Discovery|Land Rover Discovery}} Series II and a {{w|Jeep Cherokee (XJ)|Jeep Cherokee XJ}} with a bullbar mounted on the front. His spare tire, mounted on his back end in vehicle mode, is actually a free-spinning wheel just like the normal four, and the same size as the front wheels... meaning that, in theory, it could be used as an ''actual'' spare tire.

: Amusingly enough, his [[robot mode]] arms are upside-down inside the packaging, with his shoulders somewhere around hip-level.

: Official [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicting a [[prototype|pre-production sample]] in and out of packaging featured the tires in the same green plastic color as the vehicle shell. They were changed to black plastic for the mass production version.

:*''ID number:'' '''C-18'''

: The ''Universe'' Legends Class Brawn was redecoed into ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Gong, using a much more desaturated olive-green base plastic, with brighter yellow chest paint, yet keeping the black face paint due to having the same paint layout as the ''Universe'' version. This is apparently meant more as an homage to his ''[[Micro Change]]'' roots than "just" TakaraTomy wanting to do something different than Hasbro.<ref>[http://www.ntfa.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4529 The many colors of Brawn] at the NTFA forums</ref>

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Brawn''' (Voyager Class, [[2012]])}}</ul>
:*''Accessories:'' Energon Battle Mace

: Initially created for release [[exclusive]]ly in China and other Hasbro Asia markets, ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Brawn was to have been a retool and redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#FE|Prime: First Edition]]'' Voyager Class [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Toys|Bulkhead]], and would have featured an all-new Generation 1 Brawn head and green/bronze paint scheme. He would have transformed into a truck, and would have come with an "energon battle mace" that could have either [[5 mm post|peg]]ged into his hands, or replaced one of his hands when either was flipped into his arm, thus switching it out for a wrist peg-hole. The mace itself would have also featured a plain peg-hole at the top, and would have stored in vehicle mode by pegging it onto the trunk.

: This was the only toy that was not included in the massive group of [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusives for US market release in 2012. He was eventually dropped<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/brawn-dropped-from-the-transformers-generations-gdo-voyager-assortment/25764/ "Brawn Dropped from the Transformers Generations GDO Voyager Assortment?" at Seibertron.com]</ref> from the Asian-market case assortments, and his spot was taken by [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generations|Megatron]].

: This version of the mold was eventually released, albeit in different colors, as ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Brawn (Cloud)|Brawn]].

: Part of the fourth assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] [[Kreon]] [[Micro-Changer]]s, Brawn can be rebuilt from a humanoid mode to a kinda land-rovery thing.

: His chest deco is ridiculously detailed and shaded.

: He uses the [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Mirage]] helmet.

: This version of Brawn is in a more toy-accurate olive plastic. He has toy-based [[tampograph]]s like his prior version, but somehow these ended up ''less'' detailed than the Micro-Changer's deco. This version does have the original toy's visor-face, though.

: He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "[[Kreon Class of 1984]]". Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

:*''Accessories'': Hoverbike/jeep/rifle vehicle
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Brawn is a miniature [[Titan Master]] figure that can transform from a robot into Brawn's head, which can then be attached to Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class ''Titans Return'' figures. He is packaged with a hoverbike-ish vehicle that he can ride, which can also transform into a 5 mm gun accessory for a larger figure or combine with Brawn into a caterpillar-tracked jeep. His head in robot mode is based on the faceplated face of his original toy, while the face in his head mode resembles his animation model. Brawn provides the abilities of enhancing the bot's armor, though whether or not he will apply this to their shoulders too is unknown.

:Brawn's vehicle was redecoed into [[Synapse (Legends)#Legends|Synapse]], which came with ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Brainstorm (G1)#LG39|Brainstorm]]. The head was also [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Muscles]].

:*''Accessories'': Shield/Roof
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: The second ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Brawn is a Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to jeep, inspired by [[#Generation 1|his original Generation 1 toy]]. His roof can detach to become a shield in robot mode, or peg into his back to maintain symmetry, and features a 3 mm port in the centre of the wheel. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Brawn features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figure to ride. You can actually let his Titan Master counterpart ride himself. ''Kinky!'' Due to his construction, Brawn is the only ''Titans Return'' Legends class figure that can transform without needing to remove a Titan Master from his cockpit.

: In a clever touch, unpainted windows are sculpted beneath the vehicle mode storage of the shield, so that the vehicle mode will still look complete even if the accessory [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|is lost]].

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Outback (G1)#Generations|Outback]].

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Brawn is a Deluxe-scale figure based on his short-lived appearance in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', transforming into a small SUV. He includes a small blaster accessory that can be attached to the spare wheel atop his alt mode's hood, which in itself is removable via a 5mm peg but otherwise serves no real purpose once removed.

:Unfortunately, Brawn does not come with a [[Fire Blast effect]]-compatible peg on this collarbone area to recreate his infamous death-by-shoulder-shot sequence.

:As mentioned on the May 16, 2023 Transformers Fanstream, the way Brawn transforms allows you to recreate the "stilt legs" of his original 1984 toy. So you can do that if you want to. Which you will.

*'''Gong''' (1985)

: A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''— of Brawn was released as part of the first wave of [[Kabaya]]'s ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]] range. He came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in white, blue, sky blue, yellow, green, and orange. Curiously, the figure was not based on either his toy or [[character model|animation model]] robot mode designs; instead, it depicted him in an entirely different robot form, based on his 4WD alternate mode as it would appear if it transformed in the same manner as Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, going so far as to give him Bumblebee's head! The origin of this strange design is unknown, but it would be seen again in a model kit released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] and [[Seven]] the following year.

: Brawn was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Brawn was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Brawn mixes the cartoon model with elements from the original toy (most notably giving him a claw for a right hand).

: Brawn was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

:This two-pack of fully-transformable Brawn and Windcharger snap-together model kits were released by Takara and Seven; "pachi" is Japanese onomatopoeia for things which snap together, while "pla" is short for plastic, hence the kit's name. The figures are made from red and black plastic, and were available in two variations that alternated which of the colors was predominant. About the same size as the original figures, the kits are speculated to be unused molds created for ''[[Micro Change]]''. Most notably, this set again makes use of the strange alternate design for Brawn seen previously in the ''Milk Caramel'' line, based on the Bumblebee body complete with Bumblebee's head.

Jetfire features three modes: robot, jet, and an "alternate transformation" (called the "Gerwalk" form in ''Macross'', and the "Guardian" form in ''Robotech'') that deploys his arms and legs in [[alternate mode|jet mode]]. Additionally, Jetfire comes with several red pieces of armor and a rocket booster backpack that can snap onto his arms, legs, and back in any mode. He has noticeably more articulation than the other ''Transformers'' in the line at the time.

: The shoulder assembly where the jet mode folds in half for [[robot mode]] is one of the more commonly broken parts in the early ''Transformers'' toy line. Additionally, the thin, rigid plastic used on the armor pieces puts their attachment clips at high risk of breaking off; anyone actually transforming a Jetfire in this day and age would be better off ''gently'' pulling the peg-and-socket-construction armor pieces apart and then reuniting them around his arms and legs without relying on the clips. And finally, the small black clip-piece that attaches Jetfire's rifle to his jet mode is possibly one of the most commonly missing accessories on secondhand Jetfires, if not secondhand Transformers all around. The fact that the instructions don't tell you what to do with it doesn't help. The piece is used to hold Jetfire's rifle via the clip attached to the arm, as well as under the jetmode as a belly gun. It is very difficult to find a complete Jetfire toy, let alone an undamaged one. The figure's white coloration is also heavily succeptible to [[photodegradation|yellowing]], even if properly stored.

: [[Variant|Early specimens]] of Jetfire featured the ''Macross'' [[United Nations|U.N.]] Spacy logo on the wings; the very earliest had this painted on, while a mid-stage release used a [[sticker]]. These "Macross" Jetfires also have an extra black stripe across the jet canopy, and the robot head guns have more complex sculpting with thinner plastic at their bases.

: For what should be ''screamingly obvious reasons'', Jetfire was not released in the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' toyline.

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Jetfire was released in the Hasbro ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' line as part of the second [[wave]] of [[Cyberjet]]s. He is a redeco of the Decepticon [[Hooligan (G2)#Toys|Hooligan]], transforming into a proposed swing-wing naval variant of the F-22 Raptor. He is armed with a pressure-launched missile fired from his right arm, which also forms a weapon in fighter mode. He can also store his extra missile on his forearm/jet undercarriage via simple friction-tabs.

: This toy was released in the Takara ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#Takara G-2 line|G-2]]'' line without changes to the toy itself, but it came with an [[:File:Jetfire-JG2decal.jpg|extra decal sheet]], featuring white tiger markings, extra ''Generation 2'' Autobot symbols (presumably to cover the Decepticon ones that were factory-applied), and "battle damage" markings.

: Apparently, the decision to market the redecos as separate characters was a last-minute change of plans that was only put into use in America and Japan; in Europe, Hasbro supposedly stuck to the original idea for said assortment (here named "Mini-Jets"), with the redecos being sold as [[variant#Running changes|running change color variants]] of their wave 1 mold-mates instead, in unchanged packaging featuring [[package art]] in the original deco and the original character's name. Thus, Hooligan was available in Jetfire's colors but still marketed as Hooligan himself. This practice is only confirmed for the versions available in multilingual French/Dutch/German packaging; thus far, no specimens in English/Spanish/Portuguese packaging or in Italian [[GiG]] packaging have surfaced. This would also explain why the "Jetfire" release of the figure has Decepticon [[Insignia|faction symbol]] stickers, despite being released as an Autobot.

: This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[R-Blade#Toys|R-Blade]], ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Wind Sheer (Universe)#Toys|Wind Sheer]], and [[BotCon 2005]] [[Ricochet (Timelines)#Toys|Ricochet]]. R-Blade's expanded bio in the ''Robotmasters'' sourcebook specifically mentions Jetfire as the leader of the Autobot Cyberjets, even though no mention of this is made in Jetfire's ''Generation 2'' bio, in the U.S. ''or'' Japan.

*'''Jetfire''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, [[2006]])
**''Accessories:'' 2 cannons, display stand with removable nameplate

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Jetfire is based on [[Don Figueroa]]'s design as seen in [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s ''The War Within'' miniseries, which in turn was based on Figueroa's [[Customizing|scratch-build custom]] Transformer, [http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/kitbashes/Don_Figueroa/Kitbash_Retrospective/?dgallery_show=./strikefire_2.jpg Strikefire]. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter plane with armor add-ons.

:As with all ''Titanium Series'' figures, Jetfire's toy is constructed of both die-cast metal and molded plastic, and it comes with a plastic display stand featuring his name and his faction logo. In jet mode, landing gear can be deployed from underneath the fuselage and both legs. In robot mode, the two wing cannons can be removed to be held by the robot either separately or combined together into a single weapon.

**''Accessories:'' Rocket Booster pack, two-piece rifle, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, helmet
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Jetfire's design is an amalgam of the original cartoon/comic model for Jetfire/Skyfire and the original toy. It not only features removable armor like the original toy, but the toy-inspired head can be removed like a helmet to reveal a cartoon/comic-inspired head. The jet mode is primarily based on the {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} (itself the inspiration for the ''Macross'' {{w|VF-1 Valkyrie}} design), but with various visual elements taken from Skyfire's [[character model]], most notably the squared-off nosecone. The toy's add-on booster packs have flip-out reveal cannons, and it also features arm-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers.

:An unexpected level of detail can be found on the black non-firing rifle; when it is assembled, the halves of the gun's "sight" come together in a way that would be functional on a full-size weapon.

:The toy's design was first featured on the solicited cover to [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] ''[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]'' #1. Contrary to popular belief, it was not designed by [[Don Figueroa]].

:A "ghost" [[redeco]] of this toy, with black plastic and silvery electric paint deco, was shown by [[Hasbro]] in a news broadcast about their attempts to cheer up a Rhode Island orphan. Sadly, this version was never released.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed to make the [[BotCon 2007]] version of [[Dreadwind (G1)#Timelines|Dreadwind]], and [[redeco]]ed to make the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' version of [[Tread Bolt#Universe (2008)|Tread Bolt]].

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Skyfire is a redeco of ''Classics'' Voyager Class Jetfire. The primary changes to his deco are mainly for better resemblance to Skyfire's Generation 1 cartoon model's appearance (in particular painting most of the canopy to make it appear smaller), rather than the Jetfire/''Macross'' design. Of amusement is the fact the fighter's airbrake has been painted blue to be a faux secondary canopy. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat-sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, but instead has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts (his jetpack's exhaust nozzles).

: It also includes a [[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (pack-in manga)|mini-manga]] detailing the events that lead to Skyfire's appearance in the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' universe (mini-manga universe, that is).

: Part of the ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)#Gentei! Gentei!|Gentei! Gentei!]]'' subline of ''Henkei!'', "Dark Skyfire" is a [[TakaraTomy Mall|Toy Hobby Market]]-[[exclusive]] [[black redeco]] and [[retool]] of ''Classics'' Voyager Class Jetfire. The primary changes to his deco are mainly for making him, uh, darker. Specifically, he's cast in glossy black and purple plastic, with painted purple details and new thin white stripes on his wings. The tips of his backpack cannons have been significantly remolded to make the barrels and stalks on which they are mounted a single, newly-jointed piece, with the result being that the cannons' bodies stick out ever so slightly from their housing. This change is likely to make the barrels more durable under the constant spring-loaded strain of being hidden, as well as allow one to pivot and deploy the cannons without sliding back the panels that are keeping them hidden, due to the fact that deploying the cannons this way with the previous tooling often resulted in the (detachable) tips of the cannons to pop out and send them flying. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat-sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, but instead has some vacuum-metallized parts (his jetpack's exhaust nozzles).

: The extent of Dark Skyfire's 'Dark' originally varied from image to image: early pre-production mockup images showed a dark matte grey similar to e-Hobby [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys|Astrotrain]], whilst later images appeared gloss black with high-contrast silver details, leading to speculation that this redeco is the previously unreleased 'ghost' ''Classics'' Jetfire. Some possible hints of this remain, such as the Hasbro ''Classics''-styled open cockpit instead of ''Henkei's ''half-painted version, as well as some entirely new paint operations, such as the added stripes on the sides of the intakes just behind his shoulders.

: Pre-orders for Dark Skyfire opened up on [[November 12]]th and closed on [[December 11]]th [[2009]], with the toys finally shipping in March of 2010.

: This figure was [[Repurposing|repurpos]]ed as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Jetfire (SG)|Jetfire]] and ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' [[Zardak]].

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] and [[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' Jetfire's design is an amalgam of the original cartoon/comic model for Jetfire/Skyfire and the original toy. It features removable armor like the original toy, but the toy-inspired head can be removed like a mask to reveal a more proportioned cartoon/comic-inspired head. The jet mode is again based on a navalized {{w|F-22 Raptor}} with {{w|F-14 Tomcat}}-like variable geometry wings (The F-14 itself being the inspiration for the ''Macross'' {{w|VF-1 Valkyrie}} design), but with a faux cockpit reminiscent of his Skyfire's [[character model]] underneath the jet's fuselage, most notably the faux squared-off nosecone in his robot mode. The toy's add-on booster pack which can be rotated 360 degrees, arm and leg mounted cannons are [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] bright metallic red. Jetfire also carries a [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] spring-loaded "photon" missile launcher/rifle. All five weapons can combine into a larger weapon, and the removable face armor can be stowed by plugging into the rifle while both arm cannons can also be attached to the peg hole located on both sides of his Turbo Thruster pack. This toy first appeared as Jetfire's new body in the "[[Dawn of the Autobots]]" arc of ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]''.

:All versions of this mold have a design flaw in the strut that connects the pelvis to the chest. The very small, very thin plastic on either side of where the strut pins in between the legs has a tendency to eventually break, especially after repeated transformations. The primary cause appears to be when the friction pin starts to work its way into both the inner and outer pieces. Checking the clearance between the pieces and the position of the pin can help prevent untimely damage. Some units also have an ''insanely'' tight pin hole here, where it requires less force to ''ratchet the pieces apart'' than to rotate properly. Removing the pin and opening the hole on the inner piece of the joint can also lengthen the effective lifespan of the figure.

:This mold was also retooled into ''Generations [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Thundercracker]], [[Starscream (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Starscream]], and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Skywarp]].

:The first of the large "Commander Class" toys, this iteration of Jetfire is based ''heavily'' on his 1984 [[Jetfire (G1)#Generation 1 cartoon continuity|cartoon]] and [[Jetfire (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|comic]] [[character model]], transforming into a Cybertronian superjet with a massive, brick-like top-mounted "Turbo Thruster Booster Pack". He is one of the few toys in the ''Siege'' line ''not'' sporting battle damage paint applications, though he does have a very light 'reentry fade' on his lower legs and nosecone.

:In robot mode, the faction symbol on his chest can flip around to be either Autobot or Decepticon, a reference to the original ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' cartoon episode "[[Fire in the Sky]]" and to recreate his faction swap in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''Siege'']] cartoon (alternately, you can pretend he's performing the [[Rite of the Autobrand]] as seen in the original Marvel comic). The [[5 mm post]]-hole rings in his hands are designed to recess into his palms when his fingers are extended forward so he looks less awkward in an open-handed pose. Adding the Skyshield Aerial Armor and Skyshield Battle Mask gives his robot mode a ''slightly'' more original-toy appearance. Some copies may have difficulty attaching his chest armor properly due to the small flip-out panels not lining up perfectly: pulling the chest panels open and then putting them back once the armor is attached can help, or it can be attached by a single panel instead of both. While Jetfire does have ankle tilts, there are small but fairly strong clips that lock them in, so a bit of force may be required to unlock them.

:In jet mode, along with deployable landing gear with rolling wheels, he features four pop-out handles on his underside that allow other ''Siege'' figures (or any toy or accessory with a 5 mm grip) to hang underneath him, letting him air-drop his comrades into battle. He can also carry up to three [[Titan Master#Toys|Titan Master]]s or [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]s in jet mode: removing the filler computer core inside his cockpit (by folding down the nosecone) reveals space for one Master, while the back end of the Turbo Thruster Booster Pack lifts up to reveal space for two more Masters. Oddly, this feature is not shown in his instructions. The core also has a 5 mm hole in it so um... there's that. There is a 5 mm hexagonal port on his underside that appears to be for heavier-duty flight stands, since it is recessed too far to peg in any of his own weapons. Some transformation joints on his wings can also simulate working air flaps. During development, the jet was originally designed as a different "Cybetronian" jet akin to the rest of ''Siege'', but Shogo Hasui pushed for it to more closely match his cartoon appearance instead, just like the robot mode.<ref name="Gen2020"/>

:In either mode, his many many [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] weapons can be mounted on him in a variety of ways. His two "JF-25 HS Photon Missile Sky Launcher" rifles can be combined into a single double-barreled gun vaguely similar to the original animation model's double-barreled cannon. In this configuration, they form the core of a massive pile of weapons and armor that goes on top of his jet mode (as if he wasn't anti-aerodynamic ''enough''). In ''another'' undocumented feature, his "JF-15 HP Jetboost Particle Beam Cannons" and "SF-M2 Radiograph Booster" double-cannons are two-part weapons that can be pulled apart for even more versatility. He also has a large number of 3 mm "blast effect" hardpoints all over his body and on the tips of his weapons. His two multi-part blast effects have 5 mm posts with 3 mm holes in the middle on each part, making them very versatile in simulating his jet thrusters or outgoing or incoming weapons fire. Jetfire was also intended to interact with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]] [[Six-Gun#War for Cybertron: Siege|Sixgun]] in jet mode, though this was, ''once again'', never advertised.<ref>[https://twitter.com/tf__tf/status/1205868925067513857 Siege Jetfire and Sixgun combination] from ''[[Transformers Generations 2020]]'' book</ref>

:For those curious, the computer core accessory appears to be a reference to the episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]", where a close-up of ''Skyfire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cockpit interior is shown as he is being defrosted by [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzq3C4hkfNE&t=373 "Fire on the Mountain" episode timestamp 6:13] - on [[Hasbro Pulse]]'s official YouTube channel.</ref>

:Unfortunately, Jetfire is among one of a long list of figures to suffer from [[photodegradation]] in his [[unpaintable plastic]] parts, as a result of unknown causes.

:Bizarrely, many [[Walmart]] stores in the US put him on instant clearance, causing him to ring up at $40 rather than the actual $80 he's supposed to cost. This made some people very happy.

:This figure saw reissues in late-2022 and mid-2024 and was also redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Jetfire (SG)#Generations|Jetfire]].

*'''Skyfire''' ([[2023]])
**''ID Number'': '''MP-57'''
**''Accessories'': 3 faces, 2 [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]], 3 faction plates, "Photon Missile Launcher", 2-piece [[Flight stand|stand base]], stand arm, stand cradle, 3 mini-figures ([[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP57|Convoy]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#MP57|Meister]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#MP57|Wheeljack]])
{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' <strike>Jetfire</strike> "Skyfire" is an absolutely humongous figure, nearly 14 inches tall in [[robot mode]], about 2 inches taller than the ''Siege'' Commander-class toy above. Inspired by the Generation 1 cartoon in design, he transforms into a space jet.

:Skyfire comes with a multitude of accessories. For vehicle mode, there is a display stand, and three small, articulated figurines ("Convoy", "Meister", and "Wheeljack") that scale with the vehicle mode and can ride inside of it. Skyfire features several opening hatches for this purpose. As for robot mode, Skyfire comes with three robot faces, including one based on the original masked ''Macross'' design (no antennae though). He also has three interchangeable chest plates displaying an Autobot insignia, a Decepticon insignia, and one that is blank, to replicate the scene in "[[Fire in the Sky]]" where he removes his Decepticon badge and changes allegiances to the Autobots. Also inspired by that same episode, Skyfire's helmet opens up to reveal a brainwave monitor. Lastly, he has his iconic "Photon Missile Launcher", which can be used in robot mode or clipped onto his vehicle mode.

:And yes, he is able to turn into a gerwalk mode. Awesome.

:Confirmed in an interview seen in the 278th issue of ''[[Figure Ō]]'' magazine, Skyfire was officially revealed on [[June 2]], [[2022]]. In [[Japan]] this figure was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

:On many specimens, the large strong springs inside Skyfire's ankles shove too firmly against the pins holding his heel extensions in place, preventing the feet from opening fully flat and thus interfering with some standing poses.

:The final ''[[Titanium Series]]'' catalogue listed a number of "Micro Figures" intended for release, though many of them never saw the light of day. Among those listed was a 3" Robot Masters figurine of Jetfire. It is uncertain as to whether he would be depicted in a classic ''Generation 1'' design or his ''[[War Within (comic)|War Within]]'' form, the latter of which had already been included in the [[#Titanium Series|six inch range]]. He may have even been [[Jetfire (Armada)|another Jetfire entirely]]! We'll never know. And neither will ''you''.

:An [[exclusive]] release for [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2013, "Autobot Jetfire" is a [[redeco]] the same 2011 [[mold]] ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' [[Skystriker (vehicle)|Sky Striker]] that had previously been used for [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Starscream]]. New to this set is a large accessory designed after Jetfire's characteristic booster engines; this pack can mount on top of Jetfire using the slots that would otherwise be used for his vertical tail fins, which can instead attach to the engines as horizontal fins. Jetfire features an opening cockpit that can seat a figure. The set also comes with a redecoed [[VAMP]] representing [[Hound (G1)/toys#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Hound]], a new [[Snake-Eyes#G.I. Joe and the Transformers 2|Snake-Eyes]] figure bearing an Autobot symbol, a [[Baroness#G.I.

Joe and the Transformers|Ramhorn]], and [[Eject (G1)#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Eject]].

:The box set was announced via a ''USA Today'' [http://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/life/2013/06/05/hasbro-2013-comic-con-exclusives/2392295/ article] on June 5, 2013, along with Hasbro's other Comic-Con exclusives.

:On [[July 22]], [[2013]], Harmony Gold, owner of the rights to the ''Robotech'' franchise and U.S. claimant to the ''Macross'' rights, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131014085251/http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/23/Transformers.pdf filed a copyright infringement suit against Hasbro]. In the filing, Harmony Gold argued that the release somehow infringed upon the intellectual property of the Veritech, but noted that "damages are difficult to ascertain". They demanded that Hasbro recall all Jetfires that had been sold, that all Jetfires (including the recalled ones) be either destroyed or handed over to Harmony Gold, and that Hasbro turn over all profits relating to the sales; this was to happen in addition to payment for all actual damages to Harmony Gold (despite Harmony Gold itself not knowing how much the actual damages were) and all punitive assessments assigned against Hasbro.

:Subsequently, an order was filed on September 23rd, 2013, to [http://generalsjoes.com/2013/10/10/hasbro-and-harmony-gold-reportedly-settle-lawsuit-over-sdcc-exclusive-jetfire/ dismiss the case with prejudice], implying that Harmony Gold and Hasbro have reached a settlement. Although confirmation of a settlement, much less details thereof, has not been revealed, the fact that the case was dismissed ''with prejudice'' means that Harmony Gold cannot sue over the Jetfire issue again. By early October the set was made available on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], where it quickly sold out.

*As mentioned above, unlike most of the early ''Transformers'' range, the Jetfire toy was designed by [[Takatoku Toys]], being a [[redeco]] (with minor retools to blunt the nosecone and add two tabs to keep the wings from their forward-most position) of their 1/55 [https://web.archive.org/web/20180120173238/http://1501bc.com:80/pretf/macross.html ''Macross'' VF-1S Super Valkyrie]. Naturally, because he was not designed by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], Jetfire was not released in Japan, since the toy (or, at least, a dozen variations of it) was released by one of Takara's rival toy companies.
*Jetfire's [[#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' colour scheme]] nearly inspired the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' multi-pack incarnation of the Mini-Con [[Terradive (Armada)#Notes|Terradive]], but this did not come to fruition.

'''''Back to the Future''''' is a [[human]] film franchise involving [[time travel]].

===2005 IDW continuity===
After returning from a temporal mission, the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' watched the {{w|Back to the Future Part II|second installment}} of ''Back to the Future''. [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] admitted he had never seen the first film, but [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] later led the crew in a singalong of its theme song, "[[The Power of Love]]". {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide|Predestination: An Expert's Guide}} The film inspired Tailgate to acquire a [[hoverboard]]. {{storylink|Our Steps Will Always Rhyme}}

*'''Gigawatt''' ([[October 1]], [[2020]])
**''Accessories'', Pole, Mr. Fusion generator, blaster
: The third figure released in the ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' line, [[Gigawatt]] is an ''extensive'' [[retool]]ing of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Sideswipe]] that transforms into a heavily customized DeLorean, representing the [[DeLorean time machine|iconic vehicle]] from the ''Back to the Future'' film trilogy. In his vehicle mode, his gull-wing doors can open and close, plus a "lightning rod" can be added to the back to replicate the climax of the first film. He can also be converted to the hovercar mode from the first film's ending (and how it appeared in much of the second film) by adding the "Mr. Fusion" generator to the back and folding his wheels down.

: In robot mode, Gigawatt displays a chest-mounted [[flux capacitor]] with three dates, each corresponding to the time periods Doc and Marty visited in the first two movies. His knees also feature molded-in (and unpainted) flux capacitors to boot (ha ha). The lightning rod becomes a whip weapon, and the Mr. Fusion can be plugged into the back of his rifle, which bears a distinct resemblance to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'' Optimus Prime's]] rifle, but is an all-new sculpt.

: Gigawatt is packaged in a nostalgic [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]-styled box in vehicle mode, much like the contemporaneous ''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]'' line and [[Ectotron]]. The figure was released in two separate versions: a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] numbered edition was put up for preorder on [[July 2]]nd 2020 (and seemingly sold out within mere minutes) with added graphics on the box identifying the figure as one of a limited run of 1,985. A standard non-numbered version was made available through [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other "select retailers" on [[October 1]].
{{WFCSiegeSideswipeMold}}

==Notes==
*As a seminal time-travel story in Western culture, ''Back to the Future'' has had its share of influences on ''Transformers''. To name a few:
**The ninth part of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel UK]] story "[[Target: 2006]]" and the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]'' episode "[[Bot to the Future]]" homage the film's title.
**The ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]'' episode "[[Hero (episode)|Hero]]" references a "[[flux capacitor]]".
**''Rescue Bots'' features a [[solar car]] inspired by the iconic [[DeLorean time machine]].
**Concept art of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] had a head design inspired by [[Doc Brown]].
*Vector Prime's enjoyment of Eric Stoltz in ''Back to the Future'' is a reference to the first film's production cycle, in which Stoltz was initially cast as protagonist [[Marty McFly]] before being replaced by {{w|Michael J. Fox}} only weeks after filming began.
*A number of ''Back to the Future''-related "Artifacts" are included in the ''[[Kre-O]]'' set [[Kreon Class of '85]] in reference to the film's year of release. An included crazy-hair wig for the [[Kreon]]s evokes Doc Brown's huge hair. A CD of "JetFire be good" calls back to Marty's performance of "Johnny B. Goode". The ''Kreo Valley Telegraph'' newspaper riffs on the ''[[Hill Valley]] Telegraph'' (complete with clock tower headline, though this time [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] is the striker). The ''Kre-O Sports Almanac 1950-2000''... is from ''Back to the Future Part II'', which came out in 1989. Guess they weren't thinking fourth dimensionally, Marty!

:''Chromia is a [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Chromia Cyberverse concept.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Long ago, '''Chromia''' did not believe she should take part in a [[Great War (Cyberverse)|war]] that was not on her [[Caminus (planet)|home]]. This changed when her friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] convinced her to join the Autobots under [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] as part of the effort to liberate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the Decepticons. Outside the battlefield, Chromia knows enough about [[cityspeaker]]s to provide useful intelligence on how to restore one that has a shattered mind.

[[File:Chromia - Cyberverse - Maccadam's.jpg|thumb|left|250px|All your drink are belong to us.]]
Early in the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Chromia joined [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], pleading with her fellow Camien to leave the war-ravaged [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and return home, only to be rebuffed by the resolute Windblade. She then witnessed [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] being made to stand down by [[Maccadam]] when the [[Decepticon]] leader attempted to start a fight over the presence of the defector [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] in the bar. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

After joining the Autobots, Chromia accompanied [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] in rescuing [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] from a crashed [[energon]] tanker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} Chromia joined the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' during [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]]'s quest to find the [[AllSpark]], entering a [[stasis pod]] when [[energon]] reached a critical low. {{storylink|The Journey}} In a false memory created by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]], Chromia was present at [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus']] announcement where the AllSpark was found and cheered on with the rest of the crew. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

[[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] eventually tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]] only for the ''Ark'' to suffer a hull breach and crash land in [[Mount St. Hilary]]. Some 66 million years later, Chromia, along with the rest of the crew, was reawakened by [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] in time to see the [[Decepticon fleet]] invade Earth. {{storylink|Eruption}}

In the time following her reawakening, Chromia returned to Cybertron to help defend it from the Decepticons until Optimus and the rest of the crew could return. Unfortunately, the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'' got there first, and Chromia was taken captive by Megatron. Under the threat of [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] being executed, she was forced to send a false distress signal to the ''Ark'' to bait them back to Cybertron, where Megatron planned to ambush and destroy them. {{storylink|The Crossroads}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}}

Chromia was eventually freed from captivity by Perceptor, though the process shorted out his optics. Escaping to find a means of warning the ''Ark'' crew of Megatron's trap, Chromia fled while Perceptor held off some Decepticon soldiers. Despite defeating [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]], she was caught by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and could only watch as [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] blew up the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} While languishing in her cell, Windblade—having survived the ''Ark''{{'}}s destruction by abandoning ship—contacted her with her [[Cityspeaker]] powers. Thrilled to hear Windblade's voice, Chromia offered an alternative route to the Threshold of the AllSpark. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

After the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] ended in the Autobots' favor, Chromia was among the Transformers captured by the [[Quintesson]]s, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. Within the Loop, Chromia chatted up Windblade and cheered when Optimus' float passed by. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} When the Cybertronian resistance hacked into the Loop to free Windblade so they could have her awake [[Iaconus]], [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] carried Chromia away so that [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] could speak to the [[cityspeaker]] in private. {{storylink|The Trial}}

Chromia was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Autobots thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammer]]s into the Loop. By the time Hot Rod and Soundwave escaped from the Quintesson [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]], Chromia was seen racing to freedom. {{storylink|The Scientist}} Once the Autobots and Decepticons had agreed to work together, Chromia was part of a failed attack on the Quintesson flagship, being saved only when Windblade managed to partly unearth Iaconus' arm, the resulting quakes scaring off the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]]. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

After the Quintesson flagship had been brought down and the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] killed, [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] revealed himself as the new Judge. Chromia led the first attack against him only to be captured by his [[tractor beam]]s and locked up with the rest of her species. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} Starscream refused to condemn the universe until Optimus Prime and Megatron were present so they could answer for his crimes against him. After [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] had opened the floodgates of feeding the Judge false locations, Chromia lied that the two leaders were at the [[Velocitron]] Memorial. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}}

To deal with the awakened Iaconus, Starscream called upon the brainwashed [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]]. After he had hovered off to monitor the battle, [[Maccadam]] arrived to open the cells, though such an act ultimately cost him his life. Shortly afterwards, Starscream managed to kill Iaconus, turning Croaton on the rest of the Cybertronian race. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} The invasion was eventually stopped when Optimus and Megatron used two Matrices of Leadership to kill Starscream and Windblade freed Croaton. With the Quintesson threat ended, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

After Bumblebee had retrieved Windblade's braindead body, Chromia came forth with how to heal her. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase 3|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

When [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] prepared to upload what they had collected of Windblade's mind, a shark flew in and stole Windblade's body. Piloting an [[Autobot shuttle]], Chromia and Bumblebee followed to the [[Argon Sea]]. With the scanners unable to penetrate the gases, the two dived below. After following the shark, the two ran afoul of energy-draining animals, who helped themselves to the shuttle's shields before the shark returned. While Bumblebee managed to subdue the beast, he himself fell deeper into the Sea. Stringing up the shark, Chromia attempted to scan for Bumblebee before the shark introduced himself as [[Hammerbyte]], explaining that he was guarding the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]].

At Hammerbyte's direction, Chromia piloted the shuttle to the deepest part of the Sea where they found Bumblebee entering a service hatch. Quickly following, Chromia found that Bumblebee and Hammerbyte had fallen under the Dweller's control, later discovering that the entity was in fact a Titan, one who planned to use Windblade to spread his influence to all of Cybertron. Using Bumblebee's [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]], Chromia managed to free her friends from the Titan's control before they escaped back to the surface. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy an alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Chromia joined the infiltration team into Croaton. As the Autobots clashed with Decepticons, Chromia defended Bumblebee from [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] long enough for Thunderhowl to tackle her. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Chromia battled several supersoldiers and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. Chromia caught up with Optimus and Bumblebee just as [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] took Megatron X, defeated and immobilized by Optimus, away. Chromia was later present when a restored Windblade made her return. {{storylink|The Other One}}

[[File:Cyberverse-S4E2-PerfectDecepticon-RaiseAGlass.jpg|thumb|250px|]]

Chromia was present at the signing of the [[Treaty of the Wall]], but, along with all the other Autobots and Decepticons, was frozen by the Mercenaries' [[time blaster]]. She would later be unfrozen by Wheeljack's machine and could be seen celebrating the reunification of Cybertron with her fellow Cybertronians.{{storylink|The Immobilizers}}

Later on, when [[Tarn (Cyberverse)|Tarn]]'s forces attacked, Chromia was among the Autobots who gathered in the underworld to regroup, and later took part in the final battle against the [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s. Chromia was later present at Soundwave's wake following his heroic sacrifice. {{storylink|The Perfect Decepticon}}

Transformers: Legacy

Metalhawkdefender: /* Legacy: United */

{{disambig3|Legacy}}
{{nav-Legacy}}
'''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')<ref>The official in-house title of the toyline is "'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''", which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just "'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''".</ref> is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern "[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]].

The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.<ref name="Facebook"/> As such, non-"Generation 1" characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]". Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|"Comic Universe" Impactor]]. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website.

Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.

==''Legacy''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the "s" in Generations.]]
[[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]

The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can "harness the power of [[Energon]]", with many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an "[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]"<ref name="Facebook">Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: "Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line."</ref>, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these "energon infused" weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.<ref>Tarantulas's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.</ref> Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.

===Exclusives===
Please note that the exclusivity listed for toys below applies to the United States. Also, most of ''Legacy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s exclusives were available through [[Hasbro Pulse]] as well, but in much smaller numbers than their "main" outlets.

====Walmart====
: [[Walmart]] had a ''large'' number of exclusives; first came a trio of normal ''Legacy''-packaged Deluxe beast-bots (which were sold as Farmers exclusives in [[New Zealand]]).

: Next came the '''''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection''''', which focused on characters on the namesake [[Velocitron|planet]] participating in the namesake [[Speedia 500|race]]. The first assortment was revealed on the [[June 23]] 2022 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fanstream]]. A second assortment of Deluxe Class toys was revealed in early October, without prior announcement.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/14/transformers-velocitron-speedia-500-deluxe-g2-shadowstrip-crasher-out-in-new-zealand-first-in-hand-images-465277 Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Deluxe G2 Shadowstrip & Crasher Out In New Zealand – First In-Hand Images] at TFW2005</ref> Distribution of this second wave of product has been... let's politely call it ''varied''. These toys were [[Kmart]] exclusives in New Zealand.

==''Legacy: Evolution''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|That's a lotta nuts!]]
[[File:Legacy_Evolution_Logo.png|center|300px]]

'''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as "[[Evo-Fusion]]." Admittedly, many of these are just the same "combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure" play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey.

Supporting this is a continuation of the "[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]" concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.

===Exclusives===
====Walmart====
: [[Walmart]]'s '''''Toxitron Collection''''' "capsule" featured gloriously garishly-decoed toys based on unreleased concept redecos from ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' (and one from [[2003]]'s ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)| Universe]]''). The series was revealed on [[March 13]] in 2023 as part of Walmart's "Collector Con", showing off the first three toys as well as putting them up for preorder. The toys eventually started shipping in mid-July, with the remaining toys being officially revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] (though naturally they had both leaked ''and'' been found at Walmarts before the show). However, distribution has reportedly been spotty at best, with many stores missing out on some or even all of the capsule.

==''Legacy: United''==

[[File:Legacy_United_Logo.png|center|300px]]

'''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was once more announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. A celebration of the franchise turning 40 years old, ''United'' continued the previous year's focus on expanding the pool of characters to bring back into the toyline, including further ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys as well as toys from franchises such as ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers|Beast Wars II]]''.

This year also introduced another iteration of the mix-and-match "Weaponizer" gimmick in the form of "Armorizer" toys, rock-like beings who can turn into vehicles, weapons and armor for other toys. These characters take inspirations from both the [[Rock Lord|Rock Lords]] of the sister ''[[GoBots]]'' franchise, as well as a race of rock aliens from planet [[Daira]] who appeared in [[My Friend Sixshot!|a single episode]] of ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''. The name of their home universe even shouts out the molten realm within the core of the Earth in the ''Inhumanoids'' cartoon. Talk about a literal deep cut.

Unfortunately, unlike its predecessors, ''United'' has omitted the QR codes on the packaging.

==''Legacy'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Japan-Logo.png|center|300px]]
[[TakaraTomy]]'s normal-retail ''Transformers Legacy'' (トランスフォーマーレガシー ''Toransufōmā Regashī'') toyline is largely the same as Hasbro's, with no notable changes to the toys proper (other than the omission of the tampographed Hasbro product code numbers); the one "big" change is that the packaging adds [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each item (sadly, Hasbro's ''Legacy'' toyline ditches the number system seen in the previous ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline). But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is a more limited selection.

Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in "[[Legacy World]]", presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.
{{--}}

===Comic===
TakaraTomy's iteration of the ''Legacy'' franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran [[Hayato Sakamoto]], thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting ''Legacy'''s grab-bag approach:

|}

Though "G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" did not appear on the toys' boxes prior to ''United'', they do appear on the QR-accessed bios on Hasbro's website. What toys get what "____ Universe" prefixes (if any) is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the "Diaclone Universe" label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the "Comic Universe" tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets "Victory Universe" on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe" on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new "Beast Wars II Universe" tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given "Beast Wars Universe" tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise, while fellow ''United'' release Magmatron gets just "Beast Wars Universe" on his box despite being from ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars Neo|Beast Wars '''Neo''']]''. Just roll with it.

Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.

In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the "[[Legacy World]]" (レガシーワールド), alternatively "Legacy Spacetime" (レガシー時空) or "Transformers Legacy World" (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences and inconsistent terminology:
{| style="margin-left:1em;" width="100%"
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Ancient Time Universe (エンシェントタイムユニバース)
*Animated Universe (アニメイテッドユニバース)
*Armada Universe (アルマダユニバース)
*Beast Wars Universe (ビーストウォーズユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Beast Wars World (ビーストウォーズワールド)
*Beast Wars Metals Universe (ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)

|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Rescue Bots Universe (レスキューボッツユニバース)
*RID Universe (RIDユニバース)
*Victory Universe (ビクトリーユニバース)
|}
The change from "Diaclone" to "Ancient Time Universe" is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).

==Other notes==
* [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various "energon weapons".<ref>Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]</ref>
* Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].
* Some toy listings featured "Evolution" as part of the toyline's name in its first year,<ref>[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : "Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures" (outdated, "Evolution" has since been removed)</ref> far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.
* Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.
** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.
* Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,<ref>"Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]</ref> and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.<ref>"Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]</ref> Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).
* The original listings included a lot of entries titled "[[Energon]] Monster". These [[Fossilizer]]/[[Weaponizer]]-style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped and [[Pretender]] characters were approved at the last minute to fill in those slots.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/|name=Mark Maher|site=Instagram|quote=Last minute these Pretenders were approved for slots slated for dropped characters.|year=2022|day=17|month=08}}</ref>
* A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|link=https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|name=Mike Seibert|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}</ref> as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time.

Transformers: Legacy

2024-03-14T15:56:51Z

Metalhawkdefender: Undo revision 1752659 by Poliwag06 (talk) it has been seen in packaging and a few video reviews exist of it. We've had images of this since January.

{{disambig3|Legacy}}
{{nav-Legacy}}
'''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')<ref>The official in-house title of the toyline is "'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''", which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just "'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''".</ref> is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern "[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]].

The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.<ref name="Facebook"/> As such, non-"Generation 1" characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]". Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|"Comic Universe" Impactor]]. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website.

Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.

==''Legacy''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the "s" in Generations.]]
[[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]

The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can "harness the power of [[Energon]]", with many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an "[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]"<ref name="Facebook">Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: "Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line."</ref>, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these "energon infused" weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.<ref>Tarantulas's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.</ref> Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.

===Exclusives===
Please note that the exclusivity listed for toys below applies to the United States. Also, most of ''Legacy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s exclusives were available through [[Hasbro Pulse]] as well, but in much smaller numbers than their "main" outlets.

====Walmart====
: [[Walmart]] had a ''large'' number of exclusives; first came a trio of normal ''Legacy''-packaged Deluxe beast-bots (which were sold as Farmers exclusives in [[New Zealand]]).

: Next came the '''''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection''''', which focused on characters on the namesake [[Velocitron|planet]] participating in the namesake [[Speedia 500|race]]. The first assortment was revealed on the [[June 23]] 2022 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fanstream]]. A second assortment of Deluxe Class toys was revealed in early October, without prior announcement.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/14/transformers-velocitron-speedia-500-deluxe-g2-shadowstrip-crasher-out-in-new-zealand-first-in-hand-images-465277 Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Deluxe G2 Shadowstrip & Crasher Out In New Zealand – First In-Hand Images] at TFW2005</ref> Distribution of this second wave of product has been... let's politely call it ''varied''.

==''Legacy: Evolution''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|That's a lotta nuts!]]
[[File:Legacy_Evolution_Logo.png|center|300px]]

'''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as "[[Evo-Fusion]]." Admittedly, many of these are just the same "combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure" play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey.

Supporting this is a continuation of the "[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]" concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.

====Walmart====
: [[Walmart]]'s '''''Toxitron Collection''''' "capsule" featured gloriously garishly-decoed toys based on unreleased concept redecos from ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' (and one from [[2003]]'s ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)| Universe]]''). The series was revealed on [[March 13]] in 2023 as part of Walmart's "Collector Con", showing off the first three toys as well as putting them up for preorder. The toys eventually started shipping in mid-July, with the remaining toys being officially revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] (though naturally they had both leaked ''and'' been found at Walmarts before the show). However, distribution has reportedly been spotty at best, with many stores missing out on some or even all of the capsule.

==''Legacy: United''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-United-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|''Into the fire!'' ''Feel the burn!'' ''Give into the flame'' ''And never return!'']]
[[File:Legacy_United_Logo.png|center|300px]]

'''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was once more announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. A celebration of the franchise turning 40 years old, ''United'' continued the previous year's focus on expanding the pool of characters to bring back into the toyline, including further ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys as well as toys from franchises such as ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers|Beast Wars II]]''.

This year also introduced another iteration of the mix-and-match "Weaponizer" gimmick in the form of "Armorizer" toys, rock-like beings who can turn into vehicles, weapons and armor for other toys. These characters take inspirations from both the [[Rock Lord|Rock Lords]] of the sister ''[[GoBots]]'' franchise, as well as a race of rock aliens from planet [[Daira]] who appeared in [[My Friend Sixshot!|a single episode]] of ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''. The name of their home universe even shouts out the molten realm within the core of the Earth in the ''Inhumanoids'' cartoon. Talk about a literal deep cut.

Unfortunately, unlike its predecessors, ''United'' has omitted the QR codes on the packaging.

==''Legacy'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Japan-Logo.png|center|300px]]
[[TakaraTomy]]'s normal-retail ''Transformers Legacy'' (トランスフォーマーレガシー ''Toransufōmā Regashī'') toyline is largely the same as Hasbro's, with no notable changes to the toys proper (other than the omission of the tampographed Hasbro product code numbers); the one "big" change is that the packaging adds [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each item (sadly, Hasbro's ''Legacy'' toyline ditches the number system seen in the previous ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline). But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is a more limited selection.

Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in "[[Legacy World]]", presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.
{{--}}

===Comic===
TakaraTomy's iteration of the ''Legacy'' franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran [[Hayato Sakamoto]], thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting ''Legacy'''s grab-bag approach:

|}

Though "G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" did not appear on the toys' boxes prior to ''United'', they do appear on the QR-accessed bios on Hasbro's website. What toys get what "____ Universe" prefixes (if any) is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the "Diaclone Universe" label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the "Comic Universe" tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets "Victory Universe" on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe" on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new "Beast Wars II Universe" tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given "Beast Wars Universe" tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise, while fellow ''United'' release Magmatron gets just "Beast Wars Universe" on his box despite being from ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars Neo|Beast Wars '''Neo''']]''. Just roll with it.

Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.

In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the "[[Legacy World]]" (レガシーワールド), alternatively "Legacy Spacetime" (レガシー時空) or "Transformers Legacy World" (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences and inconsistent terminology:
{| style="margin-left:1em;" width="100%"
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Ancient Time Universe (エンシェントタイムユニバース)
*Animated Universe (アニメイテッドユニバース)
*Armada Universe (アルマダユニバース)
*Beast Wars Universe (ビーストウォーズユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Beast Wars World (ビーストウォーズワールド)
*Beast Wars Metals Universe (ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)
*Comic Universe (コミックユニバース)
*Cybertron Universe (Cybertronユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Cyberverse Universe (サイバーバースユニバース)
*Energon Universe (エネルゴンユニバース)
*G1 Multiverse (G1マルチバース)
*G1 Universe (G1ユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*G2 Universe (G2ユニバース)
*Prime Spacetime (プライム時空)
*Prime Universe (プライムユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Rescue Bots Universe (レスキューボッツユニバース)
*RID Universe (RIDユニバース)
*Victory Universe (ビクトリーユニバース)
|}
The change from "Diaclone" to "Ancient Time Universe" is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).

==Other notes==
* [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various "energon weapons".<ref>Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]</ref>
* Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].
* Some toy listings featured "Evolution" as part of the toyline's name in its first year,<ref>[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : "Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures" (outdated, "Evolution" has since been removed)</ref> far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.
* Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.
** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.
* Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,<ref>"Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]</ref> and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.<ref>"Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]</ref> Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).
* The original listings included a lot of entries titled "[[Energon]] Monster". These [[Fossilizer]]/[[Weaponizer]]-style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped and [[Pretender]] characters were approved at the last minute to fill in those slots.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/|name=Mark Maher|site=Instagram|quote=Last minute these Pretenders were approved for slots slated for dropped characters.|year=2022|day=17|month=08}}</ref>
* A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|link=https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|name=Mike Seibert|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}</ref> as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time. Hasbro chose not to shop it to other platforms or services, as they wanted to maintain their good relationship with the streaming giant.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=To be clear Mike even though i may have said it, Netflix didn’t “hate” the pitch, in fact they liked it.

DeSanto|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}</ref> The show was intended to be much lighter in tone than ''War For Cybertron'', and would have been set centuries after the events of ''Kingdom''.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Also the show was a dramatic change from WFC as it was lighter and more colorful as it was set centuries after WFC and would emphasize the fun of everything. See how colorful the legacy packaging is and you’ll get the idea.|link=https://twitter.com/_TradeSecrets/status/1503087741914939392|name=F.J.

Chromia (Cyberverse)

{{disambig3|Chromia}}
:''Chromia is a [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Chromia Cyberverse concept.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Long ago, '''Chromia''' did not believe she should take part in a [[Great War (Cyberverse)|war]] that was not on her [[Caminus (planet)|home]]. This changed when her friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] convinced her to join the Autobots under [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] as part of the effort to liberate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the Decepticons. Outside the battlefield, Chromia knows enough about [[cityspeaker]]s to provide useful intelligence on how to restore one that has a shattered mind.

==Fiction==
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Latonia Phipps]] (English, "[[Maccadam's]]"), [[Jaime Lamchick]] (English), [[Akeno Watanabe]] (Japanese)|[[Fanny Dreiss]] (French), [[Maria Jany]] (German), [[Yaha Lima]] (Latin-American Spanish)}}
[[File:Chromia - Cyberverse - Maccadam's.jpg|thumb|left|250px|All your drink are belong to us.]]
Early in the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Chromia joined [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], pleading with her fellow Camien to leave the war-ravaged [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and return home, only to be rebuffed by the resolute Windblade. She then witnessed [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] being made to stand down by [[Maccadam]] when the [[Decepticon]] leader attempted to start a fight over the presence of the defector [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] in the bar. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

After joining the Autobots, Chromia accompanied [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] in rescuing [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] from a crashed [[energon]] tanker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} Chromia joined the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' during [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]]'s quest to find the [[AllSpark]], entering a [[stasis pod]] when [[energon]] reached a critical low. {{storylink|The Journey}} In a false memory created by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]], Chromia was present at [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus']] announcement where the AllSpark was found and cheered on with the rest of the crew. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

[[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] eventually tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]] only for the ''Ark'' to suffer a hull breach and crash land in [[Mount St. Hilary]]. Some 66 million years later, Chromia, along with the rest of the crew, was reawakened by [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] in time to see the [[Decepticon fleet]] invade Earth. {{storylink|Eruption}}

In the time following her reawakening, Chromia returned to Cybertron to help defend it from the Decepticons until Optimus and the rest of the crew could return. Unfortunately, the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'' got there first, and Chromia was taken captive by Megatron. Under the threat of [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] being executed, she was forced to send a false distress signal to the ''Ark'' to bait them back to Cybertron, where Megatron planned to ambush and destroy them. {{storylink|The Crossroads}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}}

Chromia was eventually freed from captivity by Perceptor, though the process shorted out his optics. Escaping to find a means of warning the ''Ark'' crew of Megatron's trap, Chromia fled while Perceptor held off some Decepticon soldiers. Despite defeating [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]], she was caught by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and could only watch as [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] blew up the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} While languishing in her cell, Windblade—having survived the ''Ark''{{'}}s destruction by abandoning ship—contacted her with her [[Cityspeaker]] powers. Thrilled to hear Windblade's voice, Chromia offered an alternative route to the Threshold of the AllSpark. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

After the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] ended in the Autobots' favor, Chromia was among the Transformers captured by the [[Quintesson]]s, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. Within the Loop, Chromia chatted up Windblade and cheered when Optimus' float passed by. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} When the Cybertronian resistance hacked into the Loop to free Windblade so they could have her awake [[Iaconus]], [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] carried Chromia away so that [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] could speak to the [[cityspeaker]] in private. {{storylink|The Trial}}

Chromia was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Autobots thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammer]]s into the Loop. By the time Hot Rod and Soundwave escaped from the Quintesson [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]], Chromia was seen racing to freedom. {{storylink|The Scientist}} Once the Autobots and Decepticons had agreed to work together, Chromia was part of a failed attack on the Quintesson flagship, being saved only when Windblade managed to partly unearth Iaconus' arm, the resulting quakes scaring off the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]]. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

After the Quintesson flagship had been brought down and the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] killed, [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] revealed himself as the new Judge. Chromia led the first attack against him only to be captured by his [[tractor beam]]s and locked up with the rest of her species. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} Starscream refused to condemn the universe until Optimus Prime and Megatron were present so they could answer for his crimes against him. After [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] had opened the floodgates of feeding the Judge false locations, Chromia lied that the two leaders were at the [[Velocitron]] Memorial. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}}

To deal with the awakened Iaconus, Starscream called upon the brainwashed [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]]. After he had hovered off to monitor the battle, [[Maccadam]] arrived to open the cells, though such an act ultimately cost him his life. Shortly afterwards, Starscream managed to kill Iaconus, turning Croaton on the rest of the Cybertronian race. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} The invasion was eventually stopped when Optimus and Megatron used two Matrices of Leadership to kill Starscream and Windblade freed Croaton. With the Quintesson threat ended, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

After Bumblebee had retrieved Windblade's braindead body, Chromia came forth with how to heal her. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase 3|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

When [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] prepared to upload what they had collected of Windblade's mind, a shark flew in and stole Windblade's body. Piloting an [[Autobot shuttle]], Chromia and Bumblebee followed to the [[Argon Sea]]. With the scanners unable to penetrate the gases, the two dived below. After following the shark, the two ran afoul of energy-draining animals, who helped themselves to the shuttle's shields before the shark returned. While Bumblebee managed to subdue the beast, he himself fell deeper into the Sea. Stringing up the shark, Chromia attempted to scan for Bumblebee before the shark introduced himself as [[Hammerbyte]], explaining that he was guarding the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]].

At Hammerbyte's direction, Chromia piloted the shuttle to the deepest part of the Sea where they found Bumblebee entering a service hatch. Quickly following, Chromia found that Bumblebee and Hammerbyte had fallen under the Dweller's control, later discovering that the entity was in fact a Titan, one who planned to use Windblade to spread his influence to all of Cybertron. Using Bumblebee's [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]], Chromia managed to free her friends from the Titan's control before they escaped back to the surface. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy an alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Chromia joined the infiltration team into Croaton. As the Autobots clashed with Decepticons, Chromia defended Bumblebee from [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] long enough for Thunderhowl to tackle her. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Chromia battled several supersoldiers and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. Chromia caught up with Optimus and Bumblebee just as [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] took Megatron X, defeated and immobilized by Optimus, away. Chromia was later present when a restored Windblade made her return. {{storylink|The Other One}}

[[File:Cyberverse-S4E2-PerfectDecepticon-RaiseAGlass.jpg|thumb|250px|]]

Chromia was present at the signing of the [[Treaty of the Wall]], but, along with all the other Autobots and Decepticons, was frozen by the Mercenaries' [[time blaster]]. She would later be unfrozen by Wheeljack's machine and could be seen celebrating the reunification of Cybertron with her fellow Cybertronians.{{storylink|The Immobilizers}}

Later on, when [[Tarn (Cyberverse)|Tarn]]'s forces attacked, Chromia was among the Autobots who gathered in the underworld to regroup, and later took part in the final battle against the [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s. Chromia was later present at Soundwave's wake following his heroic sacrifice. {{storylink|The Perfect Decepticon}}

Transformers: Legacy

2024-03-14T15:51:22Z

Metalhawkdefender: /* Legacy: United */

{{disambig3|Legacy}}
{{nav-Legacy}}
'''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')<ref>The official in-house title of the toyline is "'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''", which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just "'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''".</ref> is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern "[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]].

The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.<ref name="Facebook"/> As such, non-"Generation 1" characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]". Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|"Comic Universe" Impactor]]. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website.

Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.

==''Legacy''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the "s" in Generations.]]
[[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]

The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can "harness the power of [[Energon]]", with many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an "[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]"<ref name="Facebook">Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: "Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line."</ref>, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these "energon infused" weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.<ref>Tarantulas's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.</ref> Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.

===Exclusives===
Please note that the exclusivity listed for toys below applies to the United States. Also, most of ''Legacy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s exclusives were available through [[Hasbro Pulse]] as well, but in much smaller numbers than their "main" outlets.

====Walmart====
: [[Walmart]] had a ''large'' number of exclusives; first came a trio of normal ''Legacy''-packaged Deluxe beast-bots (which were sold as Farmers exclusives in [[New Zealand]]).

: Next came the '''''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection''''', which focused on characters on the namesake [[Velocitron|planet]] participating in the namesake [[Speedia 500|race]]. The first assortment was revealed on the [[June 23]] 2022 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fanstream]]. A second assortment of Deluxe Class toys was revealed in early October, without prior announcement.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/14/transformers-velocitron-speedia-500-deluxe-g2-shadowstrip-crasher-out-in-new-zealand-first-in-hand-images-465277 Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Deluxe G2 Shadowstrip & Crasher Out In New Zealand – First In-Hand Images] at TFW2005</ref> Distribution of this second wave of product has been... let's politely call it ''varied''.

==''Legacy: Evolution''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|That's a lotta nuts!]]
[[File:Legacy_Evolution_Logo.png|center|300px]]

'''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as "[[Evo-Fusion]]." Admittedly, many of these are just the same "combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure" play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey.

Supporting this is a continuation of the "[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]" concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.

====Walmart====
: [[Walmart]]'s '''''Toxitron Collection''''' "capsule" featured gloriously garishly-decoed toys based on unreleased concept redecos from ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' (and one from [[2003]]'s ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)| Universe]]''). The series was revealed on [[March 13]] in 2023 as part of Walmart's "Collector Con", showing off the first three toys as well as putting them up for preorder. The toys eventually started shipping in mid-July, with the remaining toys being officially revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] (though naturally they had both leaked ''and'' been found at Walmarts before the show). However, distribution has reportedly been spotty at best, with many stores missing out on some or even all of the capsule.

==''Legacy: United''==
[[File:TF-Legacy-United-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|''Into the fire!'' ''Feel the burn!'' ''Give into the flame'' ''And never return!'']]
[[File:Legacy_United_Logo.png|center|300px]]

'''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was once more announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. A celebration of the franchise turning 40 years old, ''United'' continued the previous year's focus on expanding the pool of characters to bring back into the toyline, including further ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys as well as toys from franchises such as ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers|Beast Wars II]]''.

This year also introduced another iteration of the mix-and-match "Weaponizer" gimmick in the form of "Armorizer" toys, rock-like beings who can turn into vehicles, weapons and armor for other toys. These characters take inspirations from both the [[Rock Lord|Rock Lords]] of the sister ''[[GoBots]]'' franchise, as well as a race of rock aliens from planet [[Daira]] who appeared in [[My Friend Sixshot!|a single episode]] of ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''. The name of their home universe even shouts out the molten realm within the core of the Earth in the ''Inhumanoids'' cartoon. Talk about a literal deep cut.

Unfortunately, unlike its predecessors, ''United'' has omitted the QR codes on the packaging.

==''Legacy'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Japan-Logo.png|center|300px]]
[[TakaraTomy]]'s normal-retail ''Transformers Legacy'' (トランスフォーマーレガシー ''Toransufōmā Regashī'') toyline is largely the same as Hasbro's, with no notable changes to the toys proper (other than the omission of the tampographed Hasbro product code numbers); the one "big" change is that the packaging adds [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each item (sadly, Hasbro's ''Legacy'' toyline ditches the number system seen in the previous ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline). But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is a more limited selection.

Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in "[[Legacy World]]", presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.
{{--}}

===Comic===
TakaraTomy's iteration of the ''Legacy'' franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran [[Hayato Sakamoto]], thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting ''Legacy'''s grab-bag approach:

Though "G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" did not appear on the toys' boxes prior to ''United'', they do appear on the QR-accessed bios on Hasbro's website. What toys get what "____ Universe" prefixes (if any) is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the "Diaclone Universe" label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the "Comic Universe" tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets "Victory Universe" on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe" on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new "Beast Wars II Universe" tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given "Beast Wars Universe" tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise, while fellow ''United'' release Magmatron gets just "Beast Wars Universe" on his box despite being from ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars Neo|Beast Wars '''Neo''']]''. Just roll with it.

Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.

In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the "[[Legacy World]]" (レガシーワールド), alternatively "Legacy Spacetime" (レガシー時空) or "Transformers Legacy World" (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences and inconsistent terminology:
{| style="margin-left:1em;" width="100%"
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Ancient Time Universe (エンシェントタイムユニバース)
*Animated Universe (アニメイテッドユニバース)
*Armada Universe (アルマダユニバース)
*Beast Wars Universe (ビーストウォーズユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Beast Wars World (ビーストウォーズワールド)
*Beast Wars Metals Universe (ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)
*Comic Universe (コミックユニバース)
*Cybertron Universe (Cybertronユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Cyberverse Universe (サイバーバースユニバース)
*Energon Universe (エネルゴンユニバース)
*G1 Multiverse (G1マルチバース)
*G1 Universe (G1ユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*G2 Universe (G2ユニバース)
*Prime Spacetime (プライム時空)
*Prime Universe (プライムユニバース)
|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*Rescue Bots Universe (レスキューボッツユニバース)
*RID Universe (RIDユニバース)
*Victory Universe (ビクトリーユニバース)
|}
The change from "Diaclone" to "Ancient Time Universe" is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).

==Other notes==
* [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various "energon weapons".<ref>Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]</ref>
* Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].
* Some toy listings featured "Evolution" as part of the toyline's name in its first year,<ref>[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : "Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures" (outdated, "Evolution" has since been removed)</ref> far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.
* Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.
** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.
* Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,<ref>"Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]</ref> and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.<ref>"Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]</ref> Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).
* The original listings included a lot of entries titled "[[Energon]] Monster". These [[Fossilizer]]/[[Weaponizer]]-style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped and [[Pretender]] characters were approved at the last minute to fill in those slots.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/|name=Mark Maher|site=Instagram|quote=Last minute these Pretenders were approved for slots slated for dropped characters.|year=2022|day=17|month=08}}</ref>
* A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|link=https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|name=Mike Seibert|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}</ref> as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time. Hasbro chose not to shop it to other platforms or services, as they wanted to maintain their good relationship with the streaming giant.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=To be clear Mike even though i may have said it, Netflix didn’t “hate” the pitch, in fact they liked it. But their mandates had changed and what we were proposing didn’t fit that.

DeSanto|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}</ref> The show was intended to be much lighter in tone than ''War For Cybertron'', and would have been set centuries after the events of ''Kingdom''.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Also the show was a dramatic change from WFC as it was lighter and more colorful as it was set centuries after WFC and would emphasize the fun of everything. See how colorful the legacy packaging is and you’ll get the idea.|link=https://twitter.com/_TradeSecrets/status/1503087741914939392|name=F.J.
