NEWS

Transformers Legacy

Announced this morning on Hasbro’s Pulsecon 2021 live stream, the next mainline Transformers series has an official name, art and a vague outline.

What Is Legacy?

Legacy seems to have a single-sentence describing its purpose, restated a couple of times during the stream:

• Brings together favourite characters from all corners of the TF universe into one line
• Take characters from different continuities and place them into one universe - Legacy.

BBTS is offering a Voyager set of 2 figures that says one is a secret.
