War For Cybertron: Kingdom is a subline imprint of the Generations toyline, and the final portion of the War for Cybertron Trilogy.
First revealed at Hasbro PulseCon 2020, War for Cybertron: Kingdom is a 2021 toyline in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Beast Wars and the 35th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie. As a direct continuation of Siege and Earthrise, Kingdom carries over the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, meaning most toys feature 3 mm and 5 mm posts to accommodate the weapons and the effect parts from War for Cybertron Trilogy and other toylines. Due to the realistic animal modes, Beast Wars characters only employ the C.O.M.B.A.T. System in robot mode. Much like its predecessor, Kingdom has rereleases of toys from the previous subline, Earthrise.
This toyline sees the addition of the "Core Class", a return to the Legends Class from the Prime Wars Trilogy, replacing the Micromasters and Battle Masters of previous lines. Kingdom also features the "Fossilizers", new skeletal characters amongst the Deluxe Class, replacing the Weaponizers and Modulators. As part of the "F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology" (Fossilized Osteo-Skeletal Shield Integration Loadout), they can be taken apart to form armor or weapons compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Unlike the previous toylines, the battle damage decoes are completely absent, and the robot mode scale falters due to the larger size of the Beast Wars characters and the smaller size of Generation 1 characters in the Core Class.
Kingdom is complemented by 2021's Studio Series line-up, which saw toys inspired by The Transformers: The Movie added to that toyline for the first time. Notable characters from the film are split between the two toylines – for instance, Cyclonus appears in Kingdom, whereas Scourge is a Studio Series release.
Befitting its eclectic mix of characters from different eras, the storytelling universe of Kingdom is based around time travel and paradoxes, and the fluid nature of the timeline is reflected in the Golden Disk cards. One card is included in every figure of Deluxe Class and upwards, and peeling its foil sticker face away reveals one of three possible destinies for a key character. A full list of Golden Disk destinies can be found here.

Notes

- In July 2020, Chapter 1 of the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon, Siege, was promoted with several motion posters highlighting members of the main cast. In each of these posters, a letter from the "Ancient Autobot" alphabet created by Jim Sorenson can be seen flashing in the background. Putting the letters in the correct order officially revealed the name of the trilogy's final subline, "Kingdom".[1]
- In August 2020, various photos of toys were leaked to the public, along with Walmart listings revealing much of the general retail toyline.
- Kingdom toys of Deluxe Class and upwards utilize new packaging that minimizes plastic waste. Gone are the familiar inner trays, replaced by having the toys affixed to the cardboard insert inside, and the size of the window on the front of the packaging is reduced, showcasing less of the toy and increasing the size of the package art.
- Hasbro PulseCon 2020 revealed a poster for the line that shows off many of the characters who have toys in Kingdom.
- A rumoured Rodimus Prime's pictures were leaked by TakaraTomy. This is not a confirmed release but is rumoured.
