Transformers: Legacy (aka Transformers Generations: Legacy)<ref>The official in-house title of the toyline is "Transformers Generations: Legacy", which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just "Transformers: Legacy".</ref> 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 commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the Transformers brand by featuring new toys of characters from across the Transformers multiverse. The toys are largely in the scale and style of those from the War for Cybertron Trilogy, including numerous 3 mm posts and 5 mm ports from the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as Prime and Animated, are updated with the modern Generations aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern "Generation 1" toy. The toyline also sees the return of combiners from Hasbro for the first time since Power of the Primes, starting with the Stunticons in 2022.

The storytelling of Legacy follows characters brought together from across the multiverse as their universes collide.<ref name="Facebook"/> As such, non-"Generation 1" characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "Cybertron Universe". Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as "Comic Universe" Impactor. Replacing the package bios of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the Transformers website.

Unlike its predecessors, Legacy was not replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of subline imprints titled Legacy: Evolution and Legacy: United, with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the Legacy toyline features package refreshes of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to Siege, though Legacy elects to remove the battle damage paint applications from these toys where applicable.

Legacy

We did it. We put the "s" in Generations.

The first year of Legacy (theoretically) focuses on characters that can "harness the power of Energon", with many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an "Energon-infused weapon"<ref name="Facebook">Pre-reveal of Legacy on the Transformers Facebook: "Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line."</ref>, not too dissimilar to the 2003 Energon series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these "energon infused" weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.<ref>Tarantulas's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an sic accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.</ref> Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.

Exclusives

Please note that the exclusivity listed for toys below applies to the United States. Also, most of Legacy's exclusives were available through Hasbro Pulse as well, but in much smaller numbers than their "main" outlets.

Walmart

Walmart had a large number of exclusives; first came a trio of normal Legacy-packaged Deluxe beast-bots (which were sold as Farmers exclusives in New Zealand).
Next came the Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection, which focused on characters on the namesake planet participating in the namesake race. The first assortment was revealed on the June 23 2022 Fanstream. A second assortment of Deluxe Class toys was revealed in early October, without prior announcement.<ref>Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Deluxe G2 Shadowstrip & Crasher Out In New Zealand – First In-Hand Images at TFW2005</ref> Distribution of this second wave of product has been... let's politely call it varied.

Almost all of Target's exclusives were part of the long-running Buzzworthy Bumblebee series, a multi-franchise set of toys with increasingly-smaller amounts of Bumblebee in it. Red Cog, however, was sold in normal Legacy-style packaging.

Legacy: Evolution

That's a lotta nuts!

Legacy: Evolution, the second year of Legacy product, was announced in fall 2022 at that year's Pulse Con. This subline imprint not only broadened the range of past Transformers franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as "Evo-Fusion." Admittedly, many of these are just the same "combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure" play gimmick that has been part of the Generations line for years, but hey.

Supporting this is a continuation of the "Weaponizer" concept with a new tribe of modular Junkions that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following Menasor, this subline's combiner is Volcanicus, made up of six Dinobots in the smaller Core Class. Evolution also puts some more focus on Armada characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original Mini-Cons. The line also notably features the first mainline Animated toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 also marks the 15th anniversary of the Animated cartoon, but we doubt this was intentional.

Walmart's Toxitron Collection "capsule" featured gloriously garishly-decoed toys based on unreleased concept redecos from Generation 2 (and one from 2003's Universe). The series was revealed on March 13 in 2023 as part of Walmart's "Collector Con", showing off the first three toys as well as putting them up for preorder. The toys eventually started shipping in mid-July, with the remaining toys being officially revealed at San Diego Comic-Con (though naturally they had both leaked and been found at Walmarts before the show). However, distribution has reportedly been spotty at best, with many stores missing out on some or even all of the capsule.

Legacy: United

Into the fire!
Feel the burn!
Give into the flame
And never return!

Legacy: United, the third year of Legacy product, was once more announced in fall 2023 at that year's Pulse Con. A celebration of the franchise turning 40 years old, United continued the previous year's focus on expanding the pool of characters to bring back into the toyline, including further Animated toys as well as toys from franchises such as Rescue Bots and Beast Wars II.

This year also introduced another iteration of the mix-and-match "Weaponizer" gimmick in the form of "Armorizer" toys, rock-like beings who can turn into vehicles, weapons and armor for other toys. These characters take inspirations from both the Rock Lords of the sister GoBots franchise, as well as a race of rock aliens from planet Daira who appeared in a single episode of The Headmasters. The name of their home universe even shouts out the molten realm within the core of the Earth in the Inhumanoids cartoon. Talk about a literal deep cut.

Unfortunately, unlike its predecessors, United has omitted the QR codes on the packaging.

Legacy (TakaraTomy)

TakaraTomy's normal-retail Transformers Legacy (トランスフォーマーレガシー Toransufōmā Regashī) toyline is largely the same as Hasbro's, with no notable changes to the toys proper; the one "big" change is that the packaging adds ID numbers for each item (sadly, Hasbro's Legacy toyline ditches the number system seen in the previous War for Cybertron Trilogy toyline). But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the Evolution Dinobots, et al.). On top of that, the list of exclusives for the line released by TakaraTomy is a more limited selection.

Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's Evolution imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in "Legacy World", presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.

Comic

TakaraTomy's iteration of the Legacy franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran Hayato Sakamoto, thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting Legacy's grab-bag approach:

Notes

"Universe" designations

The universes currently featured in the Legacy toyline include (as the line names them):

Though "G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" did not appear on the toys' boxes prior to United, they do appear on the QR-accessed bios on Hasbro's website. What toys get what "____ Universe" prefixes (if any) is sometimes arbitrary. The Diaclone-adjacent items in the Generations Selects and Buzzworthy Bumblebee lineups are not given the "Diaclone Universe" label. Velocitron Blurr is based extensively on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the "Comic Universe" tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets "Victory Universe" on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get "Masterforce Universe" on theirs. United Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new "Beast Wars II Universe" tag, while the previously released Evolution Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given "Beast Wars Universe" tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the Beast Wars II sub-franchise, while fellow United release Magmatron gets just "Beast Wars Universe" on his box despite being from Beast Wars Neo. Just roll with it.

Readers might notice that the original Robots in Disguise franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, Legacy basically treats both Robots in Disguise and the original Japanese version Car Robots as the same thing, and Car Robots was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for Armada, despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.

In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the "Legacy World" (レガシーワールド), alternatively "Legacy Spacetime" (レガシー時空) or "Transformers Legacy World" (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences and inconsistent terminology:

  • Ancient Time Universe
    (エンシェントタイムユニバース)
  • Animated Universe
    (アニメイテッドユニバース)
  • Armada Universe
    (アルマダユニバース)
  • Beast Wars Universe
    (ビーストウォーズユニバース)
  • Beast Wars World
    (ビーストウォーズワールド)
  • Beast Wars Metals Universe
    (ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)
  • Comic Universe
    (コミックユニバース)
  • Cybertron Universe
    (Cybertronユニバース)
  • Cyberverse Universe
    (サイバーバースユニバース)
  • Energon Universe
    (エネルゴンユニバース)
  • G1 Multiverse
    (G1マルチバース)
  • G1 Universe
    (G1ユニバース)
  • G2 Universe
    (G2ユニバース)
  • Prime Spacetime
    (プライム時空)
  • Prime Universe
    (プライムユニバース)
  • Rescue Bots Universe
    (レスキューボッツユニバース)
  • RID Universe
    (RIDユニバース)
  • Victory Universe
    (ビクトリーユニバース)

The change from "Diaclone" to "Ancient Time Universe" is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running Diaclone revival line entirely separate from Transformers (focusing on the original pre-Car Robot aesthetic).
