It's the beginning of September which means Hasbro is now ready look forward to their 2023 product lines. Much of that is going to be revealed at the upcoming PulseCon with Hasbro Pulse on Instagram promising Transformers reveals day one on September 30. As part of their announcement they revealed that, after a year of speculation as to why Legacy toys in store computers since wave one have had "Ev" in their names, the 2023 line will officially be called Transformers Legacy: Evolution! How that translates to the actual toys is anyone's guess, but maybe we'll get a clue at the end of the month.

Meanwhile they've also added some other teasers including a "never-before-seen" partnership as well as what is most certainly going to be Shattered Glass Soundwave.

The Instagram posted is copied below:

So, Legacy gets its own subline imprint, eh? Been a long time since a "Generations" line had one of those. Or at least, not since there was a line that was actually called "Transformers: Generations", which hasn't been a thing since Thrilling 30.

Since then, we've had lines named "Transformers: Combiner Wars", "Transformers: Titans Return", "Transformers: Power of the Primes" (these three collectively known as the "Prime Wars Trilogy"), "Transformers: Generations Selects", "Transformers: Studio Series", "Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy", "Transformers: Siege", "Transformers: Earthrise", "Transformers: Kingdom" (the latter three collectively known as the "War For Cybertron Trilogy", separate from but still affiliated with the aforementioned "Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy" toyline), and "Transformers: Legacy".

While folks have often referred these as "Generations" lines, that name has become more of an umbrella term than a formal name ever since it was dropped from the main-series logo beginning with Combiner Wars.

Sure, there have been store-exclusive subseries like "Siege: 30th Anniversary", "Earthrise: Galactic Odyssey Collection", "Kingdom: Golden Disk Collection", "Legacy: Wreck N' Rule Collection", and "Legacy: Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection", but nothing like this across the entire mass retail toyline since "Transformers: Generations - Thrilling 30".

Unlikely, but I hope they throw an SS86 Snarl receal in there. Last year, Sludge was revealed right after my Slag pre-order arrived. And my Sludge pre-order just shipped, so the timing is there...

That does seem unlikely since there was no mention of SS in the post, but there's always a chance of surprises.

Really curious about that mention of a new partnership with a new "product" and "artwork" which is all pretty vague. Could be literally anything from an art book, to a video game remake to the next crossover figure.

Actually, a remake of the FOC game would make sense since there was that rumor of the FOC game figures coming to SS and explain the need to mention new artwork. :-?

When you say remake you mean both games, right? Be weird if they just chose to remake the second game. Though the worst case scenario is Transformers NFTs in the same vein as the power rangers one they did. Despite the market going south, some companies (*cough*Square Enix*cough*) are still pressing forward.

I think the rumor was actually about the WFC game and I'm just tired...

The new evolution subline

A partnership of something or other

I don't use much social media or wherever they posted, and I am thoroughly confused.

Well this guy just arrived:

2D135A63-1207-477C-9DE3-65ECF6EB30E9.jpeg

First impressions:

Quite heavy.

Not very tall.

Getting everything tabbed in, in the different modes is quite a chore.

Jet mode is…. Not as terrible as I feared, but also not really good. I have a feeling some hinges or swivels got budgeted out, because the faux fins for robot mode, seem like they are almost meant to end up under the real ones in jet mode to mimic the G1 toy and cartoon model.

Tank mode is pretty good.

Bendy sword is a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker.

Don’t know what I’m going to do with the big bulbous energon hands.

Otherwise… he’s o.k. I think for Leader budget its a bit lacking.

They did seem like they were teasing a Magic: The Gathering collab of some kind in the last TF stream they did, so it may be that?

They did a MLP collab before so a TF collab is more than likely.
But if you won't buy the thing anyway, why should you care?

I can't see it being a magic the gathering collab just yet has Wizards announced a lot of magic the gathering products recently including a Doctor Who crossover set of Commander decks (matching the warhammer 40k ones due out in October).

By the by, its up to Hasbro to decide if these things exist or not, we just chose to buy them or not (and I would).

Still, we'll have an answer sooner rather then later.

And it's not like there hasn't already been a Transformers/Magic: The Gathering collaboration before. Magic previously made a Grimlock card back in 2017:
