Transformers New Legends (トランスフォーマー ニューレジェンズ Toransufōmā Nyū Rejenzu) is a 2026 TakaraTomy toyline.

It serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2014–2019 Transformers Legends franchise, although the number of its releases is significantly more limited in comparison, in part thanks to the brand unification between Hasbro and TakaraTomy since Power of the Primes.

Fiction

[edit]

The primary accompanying fiction for New Legends thus far is the continuation of End of G1 Universe, an online comic that had debuted way back in 2022 to promote the release of a single Masterpiece toy before lying dormant for years. Fittingly, End of G1 Universe is written and drawn by Hayato Sakamoto, lead creative of the original Transformers Legends comic, and continues his long run of connected stories across series like Legends, Unite Warriors and Generations Selects which dig into the minutiae of the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity to connect dots and explain the unexplained.

Additionally, the day before the first new End of G1 Universe issue, TakaraTomy released a bonus one-page Sakamoto gag comic via social media, which checks back in with the chibi critter protagonists of the original Legends comic:
