Editing Transformers: 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&nbsp;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]]". 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]].

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.

The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can "harness the power of [[Energon]]", with as 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>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> Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.

[[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.

'''''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)|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.

==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.

===''Legacy''===
====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''.

====Amazon====
: [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]'s ''Wreck N' Rule Collection'' is centered on the fan-favorite Autobot subgroup, the [[Wreckers]]. Each box also forms part of a collage when stacked together, plus each set comes with a part of a carboard "iconic" Wrecker hammer display.

: The toys were gradually revealed one at a time over the course of several days. They then ended up shipping ''months'' earlier than originally stated, and well out of their reveal order .

====Walgreens====
: Drug store chain [[Walgreens]] was ''supposed'' to have an exclusive this year. However, few people ever found it in US stores; arguably, more people have found it at closeout chain Ross well after ''Legacy'' was over, and many US fans turned to importing it from the UK if they missed the very brief window of availability on Hasbro Pulse.

: Technically, the [[Hasbro_Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] items above could all be considered "Hasbro Pulse exclusives" as well. And many of the other chain exclusives ended up sold through Pulse, albeit in very limited numbers. Still, Hasbro saved one box set for themselves.

====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.

===''Generations Selects''===
Continuing on from the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', the special edition ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' line offers redecoes catering to fans, sold through Hasbro Pulse and numerous other online retailers in the US and Canada. This assortment is considerably smaller than for previous lines, mainly due to a larger output of concurrent retailer-specific exclusives and the theme of the line lending itself to more obscure characters in general.

Funnily enough, Black Zarak and Lift-Ticket were shipped before the general retail ''Legacy'' lineup arrived on store shelves, as was Magnificus for ''Legacy: Evolution''.

==''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; 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:

|
|width="20%" valign="top" rowspan=2|[[File:TF-Legacy ArmadaUniverse.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1|]]
|}

Though "G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" do not appear on the toys' boxes prior to ''United'', they do appear on the QR-accessed bios on Hasbro's website. What toys get "____ Universe" prefixes 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. 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:
{| style="margin-left:1em;" width="100%"

|
|width="20%" valign="top"|
*RID Universe<br>(RIDユニバース)<!--Scourge-->
*Victory Universe<br>(ビクトリーユニバース)<!--Galaxy Shuttle-->
|}
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". 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>[https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Mark Maher - Instagram]</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.  Hasbro didn’t want to shop it elsewhere cause they want to keep their relationship w Netflix.|link=https://twitter.com/_TradeSecrets/status/1503087301445836800|name=F.J. 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.
