Hasbro Officially Adds Evolution Subtitle to Legacy in 2023 Plus Teases Reveals for Pulscon

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".

Transformers More than Meets the Eye Generations Legacy: Evolution. It just rolls off the tongue.

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...

Makes more sense

Wouldn't complain at some new tf games.

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.

The case boxes and Walmart tabs already says "Legacy EV".

Well this guy just arrived:




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?

"Legacy: Evolution", eh? Intriguing...

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 do hope you meant that as a "joke".

nope. End of conversation.

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:
