Editing Transformers: Legacy

[[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|380px|We did it. We put the "s" in ''Generations''.]]
'''''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]]. Non-"[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" characters are updated with a ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, most evident with the toys based on ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]''. 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 given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]". 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. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel_Comics_continuity|"Comic Universe" Impactor]].

Similar to its predecessor, the toyline features re-releases 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.  

==Toys==
===Year 1 (2022)===
The first year of ''Legacy'' focuses on characters that can "harness the power of [[Energon]]" as each toy includes 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>: an, often translucent, accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with the theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword.

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]], uniquely amongst six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. 

''Evolution'' also puts greater focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary.

==''Legacy'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Japan-Logo.png|center|300px]]
[[TakaraTomy]]'s ''Transformers Legacy'' (トランスフォーマーレガシー ''Toransufōmā Regashī'') toyline features no notable differences from Hasbro's edition of the toyline at the time of writing, with the exception of [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each released figure (sadly, Hasbro's ''Legacy'' toyline ditches the number system seen in the previous ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline) and the omission of all Core class and package refresh figures.

===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:

==Notes==
*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 feature "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"</ref>, far before the ''Evolution'' branding
*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 storing Voyager Bulkhead's head in his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.
*A ''Legacy'' animated series, presumably 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>[https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375?t=DArv3cWlpDuwFdLksQypHg&s=19 F.J. DeSanto at TFcon 2022]</ref>
*The universes currently featured in the ''Legacy'' toyline are the "[[Diaclone|Diaclone Universe]]", "[[Comics|Comic Universe]]", "[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|G2 Universe]]", "[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe]]", “[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada Universe]]”, "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]", and "[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime Universe]]". The QR-accessed bios on Hasbro's website add "[[The Transformers (franchise)|G1]]" and "[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]" origin universes into the mix, though these names do not appear on the toys' boxes.  Strangely, the ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the "Diaclone Universe" label.
*In titling universes, ''Legacy'' splits the difference in terms of release years, leaning towards their Japanese release in particular. This is why the "Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe" isn't "Robots in Disguise ''2001'' Universe", as the Japanese release ''Car Robots'' did release in 2000. Likewise, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite it arriving in some countries in late 2002.
