Transformers Legends (トランスフォーマーレジェンズ) is a series of comic strips by Hayato Sakamoto, showcasing the adventures of toy otaku Rattrap. It is published online to promote TakaraTomy's Transformers Legends toyline. Special Business Trip Edition (出張版 Shutchō-ban) chapters of the comic come packed with the Legends toys.

Overview

Legends is a four-panel comic strip about the Maximal cast of Beast Wars, reimagined as a group of salarymen working at the "Axalon Trading Company" in Japan. They retain their quirky speech patterns from the jovial Japanese dub of the show. The jokes usually revolve around the characters being Transformers fans themselves, each representing a different facet of the fandom. The main cast is:

• Rattrap, the company's new recruit who grew up with and unconditionally loves Beast Wars
• Rhinox, a middle-aged man who doesn't care for anything newer than the Generation 1 of his childhood
• Optimus Primal, the serious-minded boss who has no interest in toys himself, but does buy them for his son Minor
• Silverbolt, a young excitable part-timer and fan of the recent live-action film series
• Tigatron, a moe otaku who only likes Transformers franchises with cute girls, like Kiss Players

Other recurring characters include the lazy, irresponsible Cheetor, hungry Dinobot and gender-ambiguous office ladies Airazor and Nightscream. Later strips introduce the Axalon Co.'s rivals, the "Terror Crasher Company" led by Megatron.

Online comics

• 1. untitled

Rattrap, a rookie salaryman, grew up loving Beast Wars and dreamt of collecting all of the toys. After drooling over a Dawn of Future's Past set in the store's window, Rattrap tries to "telepathically" force the manager, Ravage, to set it aside so nobody else can buy it, to Ravage's bemusement.

  2. "The Generation Gap Part 1" (ジェネレーションギャップその1)

Rattrap, new member of the Axalon Trading Company, introduces himself to his coworkers, Cheetor, President Optimus Primal, and Manager Rhinox; he quickly digresses to mention his favorite cartoon, Beast Wars, to the silence of his coworkers. (Cheetor doesn't watch cartoons.) Rattrap is soon at a bar with Optimus, excitedly explaining the Transformers series after Optimus confuses Beast Wars with the live-action film series.

"The Generation Gap Part 2" (ジェネレーションギャップその2)

Rhinox reveals to Rattrap that he is also knowledgeable about Transformers and the two bond over their preference for the original names: Cybertrons, Destrons, and Cybertron Commander Convoy. However, their camaraderie hits a snag when Rhinox prefers the original truck Convoy while Rattrap insists Convoy is a gorilla.

• 3. "The Youth Gap 1" (若手のギャップ1)

Silverbolt asks Rattrap if he likes Transformers, to which he replies that he likes Beast Wars. Ignoring this, Silverbolt notes that he's been addicted to watching the DVDs of the live-action movies last week and plans to watch Age of Extinction. He segues into asking Rattrap who his favorite character is, and Rattrap shows the original Rattle toy as his favorite. Silverbolt is confused by the animal Transformer, and considers it "innovative". Rattrap angrily states that it's a 17-year-old toy.

"The Youth Gap 2" (若手のギャップ2)

Rattrap drags Silverbolt to the secondhand toy store, where he plans to show Silverbolt the "splendor" of Beast Wars. He points out a C-1 Convoy toy, the first in a series that had its product sell out so much that they functionally disappeared from shelves. He moves on to TM-01 Convoy, noting that it came out in 2007 with a DVD as part of the Telemocha series. Next up is the Beast Wars Reborn set, made for the tenth anniversary and with new faces for the toys. Silverbolt says that Beast Wars has been revisited a lot; Rattrap answers that the various incarnations haven't sold all that well, but then angrily says it's none of his business.

• 4. "The Transformation Gap" (変身のギャップ)

Robot mode is used as "serious adult mode". As such, workers use it while on the job. However, Rattrap does not follow this unwritten rule and instead transforms when he stops working at 5:00, planning to go to Akihabara. This annoys Optimus Primal.

"The Gender Gap" (性別のギャップ)

Airazor is the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}office lady|{{#if:||office lady}}]] at the Axalon company, who works with the "Bat Aunt Chama" Nightscream. Rattrap thinks that they're cute, but Rhinox points out that their company does not have even one woman working there and leaves Rattrap with his shocked face.

• 5. "The Bishōjo Fan Gap" (美少女ファンのギャップ)

Tigatron approaches Rattrap, saying that he, too, is a Transformers fan. Despite Rattrap's statement that he cares more about Beast Wars, Tigatron exalts his collection of Kiss Players, Asterisk, and GT toys. Rattrap annoyingly asks if he likes anything that isn't a girl and specifically asks if he knows anything about Beast Wars. But this just makes Tigatron reminisce about the Metals Black Widow toy's removable breastplate and the "bra" underneath, to Rattrap's exasperation.

"The Gender Gap Part 2" (性別のギャップその2)

Lio Convoy visits the company and Optimus Primal has Airazor grab the tea for the meeting. Both Lio and Optimus are enamored with Airazor while Rhinox and Rattrap watch from afar, wishing Airazor weren't a man.

• 9. "The Era Gap" (年代のギャップ)

At the bar, a drunk Rhinox starts off on an impassioned cry for the '80s, recalling its beautiful women, parodies, and fan service. Even better, Transformers started in 1985! He ends up screaming for the '80s to make a comeback. Silverbolt wonders about the women while Rattrap just states it isn't their era. Rhinox continues muttering to himself, including the fact that [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Taxation in Japan#Consumption tax|{{#if:Japan didn't have a consumption tax in the '80s|Japan didn't have a consumption tax in the '80s|Taxation in Japan#Consumption tax}}]]. (Silverbolt notes that, to be accurate, it started in '89.)

"The Bathroom Gap" (お手洗いのギャップ)

When Airazor and Nightscream go to the restroom, Rattrap and Silverbolt rush to discover which one they use, only to be met with an interesting set of bathrooms. They wonder what the future holds for a company without women's bathrooms.

Optimus Primal has a party at his place where he intensely sings about bananas. However, he doesn't take kindly to the others pilfering bananas from his refrigerator...

"Head of Partying, Cheetor" (宴会部長チータス)

Cheetor is a master at the art of partying and knows how to make a lot of noise when he transforms into robot mode at night. The next day at work, Optimus Primal suggests to his tired subordinate that he transform into robot mode to get rid of his exhaustion. But Cheetor has forgotten how to transform and the ugly results send Optimus screaming in fear.

"Cheetor at Night" (夜のチータス)

Cheetor drinks after work and ends up on the last train. However, he oversleeps on the train and ends up waking up at [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Takao Station (Tokyo)|{{#if:Takao|Takao|Takao Station (Tokyo)}}]]. Seeing Optimus, Cheetor jokes about paying travel expenses and room charge.

"Cheetor in the Morning" (朝のチータス)

Cheetor oversleeps and is late for work. But since he's late, he might as well take his time. When he finally arrives at work, Optimus Primal demands to know why he's late. When Cheetor replies that he overslept, Optimus questions why he's so sparkling clean and refreshed.

• 18. "2015's Swerve" (2015年のスワーブ)

In Rattrap's dream, he meets Swerve. Rattrap notes that he made barely any appearances in the original cartoon, but Swerve doesn't mind being noticed or not, preferring to focus on his work, which causes an easily impressed Rattrap to call him cool. Swerve is then asked why his name was "Werve" (ウェーブ) in 2010 instead of Swerve (スワーブ). Swerve again brushes off the question, saying that you can call him whatever you want, baby. Rattrap is again impressed. The topic moves on to Swerve's bad marksmanship, to which Phaser reveals that he transforms into My First Blaster to aid his partner. The two demonstrate the First Blaster in battle with Trypticon, with all of the assorted sound effects. Rattrap says that the sound effects would just help the enemy know when to move out of the way, a revelation which alarms Phaser.

• 19. "Transformers 2015 Tailgate/G1 Micron Chapter" (トランスフォーマー2015 テイルゲイト/G1マイクロン編)

Still in Rattrap's dream, Tailgate introduces himself and his partner, Groundshaker. It is explained that Micro Transformers came to Earth in the 1980s in search of Optimus Prime and the Matrix. Due to a dimensional shockwave, they evolved and became Micromasters, able to transform and combine. Later in the war, most of the Micro Transformers fell under the command of Hot Rod, who led them in creating the planet Micro. Further, a Micron is a Micro Transformer with the ability to transform into another mode and provide their larger partners with a power up. Rattrap asks Tailgate if he could be a Micron as well, since he is also small. This proves to be strangely successful, as he incapacitates Trypticon with his ribbon bomb.

• 20. "Transformers Legends: Arcee Chapter" (トランスフォーマーレジェンズ:アーシー編)

Tigatron and Rhinox remark that Rattrap's aunt, Arcee is cute, and Rattrap reminisces about how he slept in the same bed with his aunt when he was young and how he would be bathed. When Rattrap mentions that it happened before Arcee acquired Transformers sickness, his two coworkers realize how Arcee must have looked then doesn't match up with their fatasties and walk away from the conversation.

At Bump's office, Arcee is diagnosed with Transformers sickness, which Arcee says she already knew. Bump again prescribes his treatment of throwing away all of Rattrap's toys, but Arcee refuses to discard Rattrap's precious childhood toys and continues on living with an absurdly large body.

Notes

• As is to be expected, the characterizations for the cast are derived from the Japanese version of Beast Wars and Beast Machines. In most instances, these characterizations were extremely different from their Western counterparts. As such, some of the "gags" might fly over the heads of those unacquainted with the radically different Japanese version of the show.
  • Tigatron was portrayed as a stereotypical samurai in the dub, hence his extreme Japanese-ness in this comic. His obsession with cute girls is ironic, considering the Japanese dub made him canonically gay.
  • Airazor is gender ambiguous because she was made male in the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, but retained her female gender in the Beast Wars Metals manga; so she was both genders in Japan.
  • Nightscream is portrayed this way because in the dub of Beast Machines he was played as a flaming homosexual with a highly effeminate manner of speaking.
  • Silverbolt's off-the-wall zaniness extends from his Japanese portrayal, which was extremely high strung and energetic. Additionally, he was given an American accent in the Japanese dub, hence his love of the American Transformers film franchise.
• Nightscream's odd nickname, "Bat Aunt Chama" (コウモリのおばちゃま Kōmori no Oba Chama) is a reference to Japanese film critic Kazuko Komori (小森和子 Komori Kazuko), whose nickname was Komori no Oba Chama (小森のおばちゃま).
