This should be taken as a RUMOR until we get official confirmation from Hasbro.

Given how:
- Beast Hunters stuff was all seemingly the last waves (which typically get "cancelled"/near impossible to find)
- the Data Discs shelfwarmed preventing the Legends from showing up (I myself have never seen ANY of them)
- Cosmos and Swerve were supposed to be released in October
- the cancellations of 1st Edition and last waves of DotM were announced about this time a few years ago
I'm willing to bet the figures listed here are as good as gone.

i have a feeling low sales are more of a reason for any cancellation than the new line coming out, yes im sure the movie is part of it (it usually is) but all those lines arent selling well & havent sold well in a while. I do hope its not true cause there are a few in there that i would like to get but if they dont see the light of day ill just go and buy some more stuff from neca, their new alien & predator stuff is killer & far more worth the money than TFs.

These are only canceled for the US market. The Generations Legends should still be available in Europe. Cosmos and Swerve were/are available at EU online retailers, and Tailgate and Shrapnel should be available soon.
If drinking's what it take to be accepted
I'd rather stay aware and be rejected

Without evidence this isn't even a rumor, it's just paranoid fan fiction.

What is this on the front page for? Seibertron.com team, I expect so much more from you. You have trusted sources for rumors. Please use them.

If the rumor is true, all of you can blame hasbro. Blame hasbro when your local walmart is flooded with AOE constrctobots and fast action battlers. Maybe someone in china will do the right thing and KO the crap out of cosmos and swerve. Would you guys buy it to protest hasbros poor marketing decisions ?

Damn....

Was looking forward to these upcoming Legend waves more so than some Voyager and Deluxe waves.

Was even gonna troop build figures like Scrapnell and Gnaw (if he was who I thought he was)

This puts a huge black eye on the whole Thrilling 30 year celebration IMO.

So no need to delay this quote any further.....

I blame Hasbro for starting the Legends line off with weak characters that no one wanted in Legends scale, thereby clogging the shelves far too long and creating the appearance that no one wanted the Legends figures.

You seriously could get a much higher quality 3rd party Swerve cheaper than that...

Well this is just a rumor, but I figured something like this would happen anyway. Shame about Tail Gate and Cosmos.

Funny thing is I ordered a swerve the day before this rumor broke from a ebay guy in Taiwan too..

If I hear from Ryan or any other staff member I will post, unless they wish to do so once they find out.

Got word that the Transformers Legends line is on Hiatus currently and will return later this year after the movies. Legends Cosmos , Swerve and others will be released then. They were pushed back from release of October 2013. My apologies but the news was half true as they have only been pushed back now. Legends Gears will be unveiled today!

Well, seeing as how this was all bullshit, this is coming down. I would like to clarify some things for those of you questioning this move.

1.) A rumor of this size is not to be ignored. Especially when it's being plastered all over the various message boards and spreading like wildfire. It has to be addressed to some degree.

2.) We did make it clear that it was a rumor and that we would verify the info.

3.) The info has been verified as being false and we're addressing that now.

And here's food for thought, if we hadn't addressed it and it ended up being true, someone would've said "WTF, Seibertron?! This was on TFW and all of them for days now! Get with the program! Damn!" so we can't win one way or the other.

And with that, say goodbye to this news piece.

Since when did one news story make a difference in how Seibertron.com fairs against TFW2005.com. You beat them with quality and a good community, not a happy trigger finger on stories with shoddy sources.

I don't know why they wasn't more caution put into this. Just because a toy isn't coming out yet, does not induce the fact that it has been cancelled! That correlation is few and far between. Did you even look at PU's sources? Some toy store from Tampa? Joel from BBTS and Curt from TFsource said so? You guys can get Joel and Curt on the line faster than Obama can call Air Force One.

I'm not trying to antagonize the staff, but c'mon, this is a bit silly. It wasn't your actions that caused a boatload of people to feed ebay scalpers, but Seibertron.com's reputation for rumors is pretty good. To throw fuel on the fire like that. Not cool.

Some sites are saying my info posted yesterday is debunked. That is not True. The TF Legends line is still on hiatus and more importantly the Beast Hunters line is cancelled so I was more then right about everything I posted! So people need to still realize that BH is no more! Please contact Hasbro to confirm if possible.

I am sure they are no longer producing any figures from the Beast Hunters line.

Also I am not a toy store. That is my facebook name. I am a collector. And one with reliable sources. When Hasbro opens orders for the Legends stuff I will breathe a sign of relief.

Currently however the Beast Hunters line being cancelled has not been debunked with no further announcements of the continuation of the line.
