	Following the 2010 ''Transformers'' line's ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], Hasbro decided to move the Legends size class into a different direction, which ultimately created a rather confusing "fork": With 2011's ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)\|Dark of the Moon]]'' line, the former Legends price point was absorbed into the new ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)\|Cyberverse]]'' play pattern and renamed into "Legion Class", which was subsequently also used under the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)\|Transformers: Prime]]'' line and its ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' subline imprint. Confusingly, the name "Legends Class" was still used concurrently, both for the [[Transformers: Generations#Asian market exclusives ("GDO")\|''Generations'' "GDO" line-up]] mentioned above (which featured redecos of figures originally released under the ''Reveal the Shield'' banner, with retooled hands and new weapons based on the [[C joint\|3mm]] standard established by the ''Cyberverse'' play pattern), and around the same time also for the "[[market six]]" (read: "Dollar stores") exclusive assortment of [[rebranding\|rebranded]] and barely redecoed older figures listed further above, which later featured [[variant\|running changes]] for two figures reflecting the changes from the "GDO" redecos. With the discontinuation of the ''Cyberverse'' play pattern, the name "Legion Class" was used for exclusive redecos of older toys under the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)\|Age of Extinction]]'' and [[Transformers (2014 toyline)\|2014 ''Transformers'']] lines and then also used for new sculpts under the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)\|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' line]], thereby effectively replacing "Legends Class" as the name for this size class.

	Meanwhile, by the end of 2012, the name "Legends Class" was repurposed, now referring to a new price point of toys released under the ''Generations'' line that were sold as two-packs during the first two years. While those figures varied in size, they were all distinctively different from all the previous "Legends Class" toys. In addition, they have their own series numbering within the ''Generations'' line that is entirely separate from the ongoing numbering system across multiple lines for the figures in this article. For those "Legends Class" figures, see the main article:		Meanwhile, by the end of 2012, the name "Legends Class" was repurposed, now referring to a new price point of toys released under the ''Generations'' line that were sold as two-packs during the first two years.

	'''Legends Class''' figures are small, simplified transforming toys, larger than a [[Mini-Con]] but smaller than a normal "[[size class\|Basic]]" class toy. They are typically (but not always) smaller representations of larger toys within the same line, meant to get kids figures of major/popular characters with a small price tag.

The "Series" designations were then abandoned, but the "Legends class" branding for the price point lived on.

	While the Legends [[play pattern]] has since become a constant presence in the ''Transformers'' franchise and is still in use today, the naming has changed considerably... and confusingly. The "Legends Class" name was dropped for the [[2011]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)\|''Dark of the Moon'' line]], when it was absorbed into the '''''[[Cyberverse (toyline)\|Cyberverse]]''''' [[play pattern]] and renamed "Legion Class" (see that page for information on toys released under that name), and that name for the toy style has persisted in all following lines.

	As the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)\|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured characters from across the breadth of prior ''Transformers'' franchises, the Legends-class molds used were similarly an eclectic assortment. Aside from more [[redeco]]es of the old ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)\| Cybertron]]'' toys as [[The Transformers (franchise)\|Generation 1]] characters, there were several all-new molds made for other Generation 1 bots, with an emphasis on new versions of several [[Mini Vehicle]]s. On top of that was a batch of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)\|Animated]]'' Legends toys, ever-so-slightly different from the ''Animated'' multi-pack versions listed above.
