Revision as of 18:24, 12 April 2022

The name or term "Legacy" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Legacy (disambiguation).
Generations franchise
« Legacy »
We did it. We put the "s" in Generations.

Transformers: Legacy (aka Transformers Generations: Legacy)[1] is a subline imprint of the Generations toyline, and the successor to the War for Cybertron Trilogy.

First revealed in late-2021 at Hasbro Pulse Con 2021, Legacy is a 2022 toyline for the approaching 40th anniversary of the Transformers brand, featuring characters from across multiple series. The toys are largely in the scale and style of those from the War for Cybertron Trilogy, including the numerous 3 mm posts and 5 mm ports from the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Each of the non-"Generation 1" characters are updated with a Generations aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline. Legacy characters can "harness the power of Energon" as each toy includes an "Energon-infused weapon"[2]: an, often translucent, accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others, not too dissimilar to the 2003 Energon series. The toyline also sees the return of combiners from Hasbro since Power of the Primes, with the Stunctions being released over its first year.

The storytelling of Legacy follows characters brought together from across the multiverse as their universes collide.[2] As such, non-"Generation 1" characters are given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "Prime Universe". Replacing the package bios of old is a QR code on the back of each box, which leads to the character's bio on the Transformers website.

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 feature "Evolution" as part of the toyline's name.[3]
  • Much like 2022's Studio Series lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded 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.
  • A Legacy animated series, presumably conceptualized as a sequel to the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but Netflix passed on the pitch. [4]
