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&nbsp;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 this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but is subsequently dropped in later waves. 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.<ref>Tarantula'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> The random nature of the weapons can be chalked up to the weapons being designed before the roster was finalized. [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art.<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>

|width="75%" valign="top"|Announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]], the second year of ''Legacy'' introduced the [[Subline imprint|imprint]] "'''''Evolution'''''", retiring the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as "[[Evo-Fusion]]." 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.  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 Animated cartoon, but we doubt this was intentional.

==Exclusives==
====Store exclusives====
Please note that the exclusivity listed for toys below applies to the United States. The ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line is exclusive to [[Target]] (in the U.S.). Following on the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' ''Golden Disk Collection'', the '''''Wreck N' Rule Collection''''' focuses on the [[Wreckers]] and their new [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|Fossilizer]] recruits throughout the multiverse. Much like its predecessor, the toys are exclusive to [[Amazon]] (in the U.S.) and were revealed daily over the course of a week from [[May 9]] to [[May 13]], 2022. Each entry features an in-depth bio, package art that is part of a large battle scene over a statue of [[Xaaron]], and a piece of a large cardboard display. 

Also, most of ''Legacy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s exclusives were available through [[Hasbro Pulse]] as well, but in much smaller numbers than their "main" outlets.

==''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. 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:

==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 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.
*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>{{twitter|Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|Mike Seibert|2022|03|12}}</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>{{twitter|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. Hasbro didn't want to shop it elsewhere cause they want to keep their relationship w Netflix.|https://twitter.com/_TradeSecrets/status/1503087301445836800|F.J. DeSanto's|2022|03|13}}</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>{{twitter|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.|https://twitter.com/_TradeSecrets/status/1503087741914939392|F.J. DeSanto|2022|03|13}}</ref>
*The universes currently featured in the ''Legacy'' toyline are the "[[Diaclone|Diaclone Universe]]", "[[Comics|Comic Universe]]", "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory|Victory 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.
*Due to the polarizing reception to the G1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro is currently finding a better balance between preserving the original designs whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for ''[[Animated]]'' 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>
*The original listings included a lot of entries titled "[[Energon|Energon]] Monster". As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots. Hence the different size classes between Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus. <ref>Mark Maher - Instagram[https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=]</ref>
