'''''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 a more unique art style, 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, with some featuring significant redesigns. 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"/> for an extra-dimensional battle.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=So the way the Legacy line is handled right now, it’s an extra-dimensional battle, it invites all of the different continuities to join under a single umbrella.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/08/03/sdcc-2024-hasbro-interview-john-wardens-return-generations-studio-series-combiners-more-513802|name=John Warden|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC 2024 Hasbro Interview – John Warden’s Return, Generations, Studio Series, Combiners, More!|year=2024|month=08|day=03}}</ref> As such, characters are 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. A full list of the bios can be found [[Legacy QR code bios|here]].

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'' concluded with ''United'' in [[2025]] and was succeeded by ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' the same year.

[[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 are still refered to as Energon weapons in their product descriptions.

===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.

====Other outlets====
: The [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]-exclusive "'''Wreck 'N Rule Collection'''" was themed around the [[Wreckers]] team. Each set in this collection had part of a buildable cardboard [[:File:Wreck 'N Rule Collection Wrecker Hammer.jpg|Wrecker hammer]], the base of which translates to "Creator of the Wreckers Resistance - Emirate [[Xaaron]]". All five boxes could be stacked to form a display mural.

:Almost all of [[Target]]'s exclusives were part of the long-running ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' series, a multi-franchise set of toys with increasingly-smaller amounts of Bumblebee in it. Red Cog, however, was sold in normal ''Legacy''-style packaging.

==''Legacy: Evolution'' (2023)==
[[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.

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 they had 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.

: Amazon's "'''Pre-Cybertronian War'''" capsule is inspired by the beginnings of the war in both comic continuities from [[IDW Publishing]]. The boxes of the "Rise of Tyranny" and "Humble Origins" packs can be displayed next to each other as one image. Target's ''Evolution'' exclusives were all under the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' banner.

==''Legacy: United'' (2024-2025)==
[[File:TF-Legacy-United-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|''Into the fire! / Feel the burn!''<br/> ''Give into the flame / And never return!'']]
[[File:Legacy_United_Logo.png|center|300px]]

'''''Legacy: United''''', the third and final 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.

Unlike the previous two lines, which each ran a year, ''United'' was extended into 2025 by the addition of a fifth wave of Deluxes and Voyagers, and a fourth wave of Leaders, each one consisting entirely of either [[redeco]]s or "[[package refresh]]" re-releases of older toys that had been hard to find in the United States. This wave would serve as the final wave of the ''Legacy'' line; [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2024]] announced that the line would be succeeded by ''Age Of The Primes'' in 2025.

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:

The "Universe" naming conventions are, at times, arbitrary:  
*Toys in ''Generations Selects'', the HasLab program, and the "Pre-Cybertronian War", "Doom 'n Destruction" (except Breakdown), and "Star Raider" (except Calcitron) capsules lack any universe label. 
*"G1 Universe", "Beast Wars Universe", and "Beast Wars II Universe", did not appear on the toys' boxes prior to ''United''.
*The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' and the previously mentioned ''Generations Selects'' are not given the "Diaclone Universe" label.
*"Headmasters Universe", "Super-God Masterforce Universe", "Beast Wars Neo Universe", and "Beast Machines Universe" are not on any boxes, despite their shows being named in product descriptions. ''United'' Metalhawk and Magmatron in particular are given the "G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" labels, respectively. 
*Laser Optimus Prime lacked the "G2 Universe" label on his box, until his ''United'' package refresh.
*The "Comic Universe" label is not on Blurr, Scarr, the previously mentioned "Pre-Cybertronian War" capsule, and ''United'' Bludgeon, Orion Pax, and Gladiator Megatron. Jhiaxus and the Cybertronian Trooper are given the "G2 Universe" label despite being [[Marvel Comics]]-original characters, like "Comic Universe Impactor".
*The first "Victory Universe Galaxy Shuttle" toy is the only toy to receive the "Victory Universe" label, including the previously mentioned HasLabs, Dinoking/the Dinoforce... and Galaxy Shuttle's ''United'' package refresh!
*Toxitron has the "G2 Universe" label, but he is from ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]''.  
*The "Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe" label was changed to "Robots in Disguise 2001 Universe" for ''United'', matching the American ''Robots in Disguise'' release year as opposed to its original Japanese version, 2000's ''Car Robots''.
*''United'' Origin Bumblebee, Autobot Cosmos, and Overcharge are missing the "G1 Universe" label, unlike the rest of the main line ''United'' G1 toys. 


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<br>(エンシェントタイムユニバース)<!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown-->

*Rescue Bots Universe<br>(レスキューボッツユニバース)<!--Chase-->
*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).

==Notes==
* [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various "energon weapons".<ref>{{citesocial|quote=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.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/|name=Mark Maher|year=2022|month=06|day=21|site=Instagram}}</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... or many, ''many'' cases of figures ''actually'' missing their heads, having been stolen out of the packaging.
* 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>{{citesocial|quote=[''Animated'' figures would be given a "more G1-ified" style], 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.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912|name=TFW2005|title=SDCC Hasbro & Kotobukiya Show Floor Q&A|year=2022|month=07|day=25}}</ref> and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Entirely possible [to have screen-accurate ''Animated'' and ''Prime'' figures in ''Studio Series''], they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912|name=TFW2005|title=SDCC Hasbro & Kotobukiya Show Floor Q&A|year=2022|month=07|day=25}}</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.  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. DeSanto|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}</ref> The main villain was intended to be [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], who had a space in the toyline and preliminary concept art when the show was canned. His toy was cancelled and its place taken by Transmetal II Megatron.
* The ''Legacy'' line saw the release of the very first Titan Class figures from beyond G1, including ''Cybertron'' Metroplex and the much-requested ''Armada'' Tidal Wave. Design director [[John Warden]] stated in 2024 that he expected they wouldn't ever run out of toys to release in this [[size class]].<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I don’t think we’ll ever run out of Titans.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/08/03/sdcc-2024-hasbro-interview-john-wardens-return-generations-studio-series-combiners-more-513802|name=Nate Purswell|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC 2024 Hasbro Interview – John Warden’s Return, Generations, Studio Series, Combiners, More!|year=2024|month=08|day=03}}</ref>
* However, these figures and most of the other ''Armada'' updates in the line were notably missing their trademark [[Mini-Con]] partners. Hasbro had found the [[Micromaster]] price-point introduced in ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'' to be unviable, as the low price-point struggled to justify the high cost of cutting steel [[mold]]s for small figures which were not much less intricate than their larger equivalents. A couple of Mini-Cons were eventually designed to be packed into exclusive sets, but for the most part, the designers seem to have struggled to find an appropriate release vector for more—despite obvious enthusiasm from the team!<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Absolutely. The Armada universe is filled with incredible Minicons. When I first came to Hasbro, I worked at Kenner years ago – a lifetime ago – and I was in a boardroom with Archer when he was pitching the idea of Minicons. And so I’ve been along the ride for the lifespan of it, sort of in a tertiary sense. I was working on Pokemon at the time, but what’s cool about Minicons is they came to rise in the same time Pokemon sort of came to rise. And I always admired, in Archer’s office, they had one of these like, acrylic cases with all the Minicons in it. And I would just stand there, like a dork, and just stare at it. On of the things I love about the Minicons and the Armada series in general is the groupings of them. I know that in Thrilling 30 we touched on it, but I think that there’s absolutely potential for more. What I don’t want to do is kind of shortchange these characters and make them like, not meaningful redecos, because a lot of them really have – at the time the style was asymmetrical, really unique heads, the deco colorways are really, really nicely done. So I can see a world where we bring some of those guys back.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/08/03/sdcc-2024-hasbro-interview-john-wardens-return-generations-studio-series-combiners-more-513802|name=John Warden|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC 2024 Hasbro Interview – John Warden’s Return, Generations, Studio Series, Combiners, More!|year=2024|month=08|day=03}}</ref>
* Similarly, the "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]" figures in ''Legacy'' lacked their trademark [[Cyber Key]]s; there were vague plans to release some [[Cyber Planet Key]]s in an [[accessory]] pack.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=May release the keys as a weapons pack.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912|name=Hasbro|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC Hasbro & Kotobukiya Show Floor Q&A|year=2022|month=07|day=25}}</ref> Evidently in response to fan feedback, when the series was revisited in more detail with ''Legacy: United'', the figures all included smaller-scale Cyber Keys that could attach in various ways—though of course, these were just for show, the original toys' gimmicks being impossible to replicate on a modern budget.
