History Toys / TransformersLegacy

** Twin-Twist is his G1 incarnation, but has the colors of the ''Diaclone'' figure he was based off of, and is a Headmaster like his ''Titans Return'' figure. In fact, the toy itself ''is'' a repaint of the ''Titans Return'' toy.

In 2023, rather than receiving a SequelSeries like previous Generations toylines, Legacy received a subline imprint called ''Transformers Legacy: Evolution'', which remained largely the same as before, except by rebranding the weapon connection system as "Evo-Fusion". Similarly, 2024 would receive another subline imprint called ''Transformers Legacy: United'', celebrating the [[MilestoneCelebration 40th Anniversary]] of the brand. It was later announced that ''United'' would be the final imprint in the Legacy line, and would be concluded after its fifth wave, subsequently succeeded by ''Transformers Generations: Prime''.

*** A similar situation was present with Override and Metroplex from ''Transformers: Cybertron'' who utilized Cyber Keys, being able to activate their gimmicks without them but still included a slot compatible with previous releases. Cyber Keys were finally reintroduced in the ''United'' chapter, with ''Cybertron'' Starscream and Star Raider Cannonball including one each. However, these Cyber Keys are purely cosmetic and does not activate any gimmicks.

** [[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots Crasher]] is given weapons that she never had in Go-Bots, being a repaint of Mirage.

** Medix has rarely been characterized as a fighter, but his Legacy figure gives him FOUR GUNS, all of which can fuse together into a giant blaster.

** Autobot Bluebolts was originally a non-sapient gun for Robots in Disguise Ultra Magnus. The [=HasLab=] release turns them into a fully-fledged transformer.
** Windsweeper's guns were originally just regular guns attached to his back. His Legacy figure, however, makes them fully-fledged robots in the form of Targetmasters.

** Galaxy Shuttle from ''Anime/TransformersVictory'' can transform into a space shuttle and a locomotive, when he previously was only able to turn into a shuttle. This is due to him being retooled from Astrotrain, who is a triple-changer.

** Windsweeper was originally a Triggercon, a Decepticon with hidden guns that could pop out upon activation. His Legacy figure, however, is a Targetmaster.

*** A similar situation was present with Override and Metroplex from ''Transformers: Cybertron'' who utilized Cyber Keys, being able to activate their gimmicks without them but still included a slot compatible with previous releases. Cyber Keys were finally reintroduced in the ''United'' chapter, with Cybertron Starscream and Star Raider Cannonball including one each. However, these Cyber Keys are purely cosmetic and does not activate any gimmicks.

*** Armada Starscream's left wing cannot form his sword, which is a separate accessory. The Star Saber included also cannot separate into the Air Defense Team, being a single molded piece. He also lacks the Minicon port where Swindle would attach.

* BackFromTheDead: The "Velocitron Speedia 500" Japanese comic would all but state this to be the case for many of the characters in the line who canonically died in their home series. Part 3 in particular would do this for [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Prowl]] and [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Skyquake]], the former by depicting him with an Allspark fragment in his hood in a manner similar to Starscream, the latter shown reattaching his severed arm after he lost it while he was a Terrorcon.

* CanonImmigrant: Toxitron is labeled as coming from the G2 Universe, even though he originated from the Universe toyline, and only made appearances in G1 and Animated continuities. This is likely to avoid him sticking out from the other Toxitron Collection releases.

** In ''Evolution'', several new Junkion characters are introduced in this toyline, none having any media appearances until the Japanese-exclusive Velocitron comics. They are meant to act as a successor to the [[EquippableAlly Weaponizers]] of the War For Cybertron Trilogy toyline.

** Played with regarding Nemesis, as the ship existed in previous continuities, but Legacy introduces a new robot mode that other versions lacked.

** [=RID2000=] Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus can combine to form Omega Prime, even replicating the signature handshake that starts the combination.

** Shadow Striker comes from the Cyberverse continuity, and has the same head, colors, and vehicle mode, but she's given the body and weapons of her original Universe figure.

** Twin-Twist is his G1 incarnation, but has the colors of the Diaclone figure he was based off of, and is a Headmaster like his Titans Return figure. In fact, the toy itself ''is'' a repaint of the Titans Return toy.
** Wreck-N-Rule Bulkhead is his Prime incarnation, but the military camo pattern he sports is based on Hound from the live-action movies.
** Data Clerk Orion Pax is based on his IDW appearance, but isn't a law enforcement officer, instead being a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin data clerk]] like his Aligned incarnation.

** Windblade is based on her Cyberverse incarnation, but takes design influences from her [[WebAnimation/TransformersPrimeWarsTrilogy Prime Wars]] incarnation and original Generations figure.
** Lockdown has a similar body to his original ''Animated'' incarnation, including his hook arm and EMP blaster, but has a head based on his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' figure.

*** Nightstick is included with his partner, Cyclonus, in a Generations Selects release, and can turn into a blaster for Cyclonus to wield.

** Mainline: Characters from across the franchise are brought to the Legacy world as their universes collide. That's pretty much it.

* {{Foil}}: Nemesis is meant to serve as this to the Autobot Ark, who had likewise gained a robot mode in the Kingdom chapter of the WFC Trilogy.

** ''Wreck-N-Rule'' Twin Twist's color scheme, while based on his Diaclone toy, was chosen specifically as a reference to the 1985 box art he appeared on, which featured him in those colors.

** Thundertron's lion mode is directly based on Franchise/{{Zoids}}, with [[WordOfGod Mark Maher outright saying]] that Thundertron gained his beast mode after crash-landing on Planet Zi (albeit spelled "[[WritingAroundTrademarks planet z]]").

* SparedByTheAdaptation: The original Skar/Scarr had died before he could become a Dinobot. The Legacy figure not only shows him as a proper Dinobot, but it also gives him the ability to combine with his teammates into Volcanicus.

** In an age where scale is given more importance to figures and usually a character is placed under a specific class and budget to alocate resources and give a faitful size in comparison to other figures in the line, [[Anime/TransformersVictory Galaxy Shuttle]] sticks out as a big exception. In the original anime, he loomed over other characters such as the Combiner Liokaiser, and appropriately his toy was designed to interact with Micromasters. His Legacy toy is a new-head retool and repaint of Siege Astrotrain, making him much smaller in comparison to other Victory releases, though this is justified given the character's lack of notoriety to give him his own mold.

** ''Generation Selects'' Antagony was packaged with two heads: her regular head, and one based on the Transmetal Scavenger. This head is intended to be used for either Antagony or Inferno to make them ''into'' Scavenger, with the ant heads on both even having inner sculpting to resemble the chest patterns on Scavenger's original toy.
** The ''Animated'' Autotroopers have an alternate head based on their ''Kiss Players'' incarnations.

** ''Cyberverse'' Tarn, due to being a redeco of the ''IDW'' Tarn figure, has a much thinner physique compared to his origin series, where he has a much bulkier body.

** The Laser Cycle known as Jazz, based on a cancelled G2 toy, is renamed to just "Laser Cycle" to avoid confusion with the other G2 Jazz (based on the orange G1 redeco) released in the Toxitron Collection.

** Lio Convoy is renamed to Leo Prime.

** Windsweeper's guns were originally just regular guns attached to his back. His Legacy figure, however, makes them fully fledged robots in the form of Targetmasters.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: {{Implied|Trope}} for several of the "Star Raider" bots, as they are now Star Seeker SpacePirates, and as the majority of them are bots either abandoned by their factions or from Cybertronian Colonies that were mistreated in the Great War, it suggests they are a similar case.
** In her [[WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise home series]], Filch was a Corvicon prisoner branded as a Decepticon for committing crimes, namely collateral damage as a result of suffering AttentionDeficitOohShiny, that managed to escape and had to be recaptured by Team Bee.
** Lockdown is traditionally depicted as a Mercenary that is nominally allied with the Decepticons, working for the highest bidder and caring more about collecting trophies than any real cause.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Implied with the Toxitron Collection, as the ExcusePlot states "Toxitron is unleashing radioactive mayhem with a team of toxic warriors", with the G2 versions of Mirage, Sideswipe, Jazz, Grimlock, and Laser Cycle (originally named Jazz) as part of it.

** Cyberverse Tarn is a redeco of his IDW counterpart. As the toy was already more slender than the character it was first designed for, their applications on the ''much'' bulkier Cyberverse version meant that the end result just looked outright ''wrong'', especially when placed next to the deco inspiration.

* OutOfFocus: The ''United'' subline sees the Decepticons largely take a backseat in terms of representation, focusing largely on the various Autobots, but also on other factions like the Armorizers and the Star Seekers.[[labelnote:*]]For point of reference, the first three waves had a over 50 characters, but only ~12 are actually marked as Decepticons. While the "Star Raider Collection" is comprised of characters that are ''traditionally'' Decepticons, they are not marked as such and are treated first and foremost as Star Seekers.[[/labelnote]]

* LegoBodyParts: Carrying over the Weaponizer system, the Junkions and Armorizers can swap their body parts between each other.

* BifurcatedWeapon: Hot Rod's "Energon Sword", Iguanus' "Energon Claw Shield", and Skywarp's "Energon Warp Fork
, all combine into a larger blade for other figures to wield. However, a handle on Skywarp's weapon prevents the weapon from being properly aligned.

** Gears has an opening chest compartment, referencing G1 episode "Changing Gears", where the Decepticons altered Gears' personality by removing the circuit board that made him complain.

** Animated Prowl is a lot stockier than his original appearance, due to being redesigned to fit with the G1 aesthetic.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Prime Bulkhead in the Wreck-N-Rule collection is given a military camouflage pattern that he never had in any prior continuity.

*** A similar situation was present with Override and Metroplex from Transformers: Cybertron who utilized Cyber Keys, being able to activate their gimmicks without them but still included a slot compatible with previous releases. Cyber Keys were finally reintroduced in the United chapter, with Cybertron Starscream and Star Raider Cannonball including one each.
*** In ''Legacy: Evolution'', the Minicon Jolt would finally receive an updated figure as an exclusive with his Autobot partner, Hot Shot (now in his Powelinx colors).

*** Played with regarding Tidal Wave and his ability to combine with Armada Megatron. Due to the size disparity, Tidal Wave himself cannot form Burning Megatron. However, he does include smaller versions of his vehicle mode(s) that detach from his body and combine with Megatron instead, replicating the feature.

* AmbiguousGender: The G2 Universe Laser Cycle. While their original name was derived from a male character, their body is a redeco of the female Road Rocket/Prime Arcee, making it unclear what their gender is supposed to be.

* BattleTrophy: Galvatron comes with the Matrix of Leadership on a chain, referencing the 86 film where he wore the stolen Matrix around his neck. [[https://bit.ly/3v7Ggkj This promotional image even implies he stole it from Laser Optimus Prime, as the latter is missing it from his chest compartment in the photo]]
* BifurcatedWeapon: Hot Rod's Energon Sword, Iguanus' Energon Claw Shield, and Skywarp's Energon Warp Fork, all combine into a larger blade for other figures to wield. However, a handle on Skywarp's weapon prevents the weapon from being properly aligned.

** Any version of the Needlenose and Skyquake molds can combine in jet mode to form a bigger jet (aka just plug Needlenose on top of Skyquake).
** Armada Optimus Prime combines with his trailer to form Super Optimus Prime.
** Armada Megatron can combine with Tidal Wave (well, smaller pieces of TW), to form Burning Megatron.

* GenderFlip: Road Rocket, an G2 Autobot Laser Cycle who originated as male, was released as part of the Velocitron Speedia 500 subline, which changed Road Rocket's gender to female, partially due to being a retool of the Prime Arcee mold. Ancillary media tends to {{play|ingWithATrope}} with the idea, as while the ''Velocitron Speedia 500'' keeps Road Rocket female, the character in ''ComicBook/Transformers2019'' is never referred to with pronouns ''and'' appeared in their original G2 body initially, leaving it unclear if this iteration was also female, male but with a feminine body, or non-binary. Not helping matters being that a redeco would later be released in the form of "Laser Cycle", based on Jazz's G2 Laser Cycle body and only not identified as Jazz due to the ''Toxitron Collection'' already having a G2 Jazz, and no indication as to whether or not Laser Cycle's gender was changed despite also using the Prime Arcee mold.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Scourge from Robots in Disguise (2000), Shadowstrip, and Crasher from Go-Bots are allowed to participate in the Velocitron Speedia 500 race, despite being evil.

* MixAndMatchWeapon: As Legacy carries over the 5mm-port system from the War For Cybertron Trilogy toyline, many weapons have the ability to combine with each other.
* {{Mooks}}: The Troop Builder multi-pack released in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee subline features four generic foot soldiers[[labelnote:*]] Animated Autotrooper, G2 Cybertronian Empire Trooper, Quintesson Trooper, Decepticon Seeker [[/labelnote]] from different factions for the sole purpose of building armies.

** The Animated Autotroopers have an alternate head based on their Kiss Players incarnations.

** Bulkhead's ''Wreck-N-Rule'' release gives him a new weapon in the form of Prime Breakdown's hammer. WordOfGod confirms his military deco also is made in tribute to ''Age of Extinction'''s Hound.

** One of Cyberverse Chromia's stock photos has her doing the iconic {{Anime/Akira}} [[https://x.com/transformersotd/status/1766214451684888997?s=46 bike slide.]]

** Legacy Breakdown. Unlike the other Stunticons, he's a retool of Wild Rider rather than an original mold, and he carries a spoiler blade and single blaster rather than dual-wielding guns. This even extends to his toy packaging, as Breakdown was released in ''Legacy: Evolution'', but he retains the Year 1 packaging. This was so he doesn't stick out amongst the other Stunticons (who all released in Year 1) for mint-in-box collectors.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The ExcusePlot for the line is that the various bots have all been transported from their home universes to the eponymous "Legacy World", where they are now doing battle with one another, both via the standard "Autobots vs. Decepticons", but also cases of EnemyCivilWar. Said inhabitants are also shown to be taken from different points in time, most evident with the characters from the Aligned Continuity and the Unicron Trilogy. To be specific:

* AlternateSelf: While there are plenty of characters with alternate incarnations running around at the same time like the various Optimus Primes, this is most pronounced with Starscream from the ''Anime/UnicronTrilogy'', namely due to ''two'' versions of himself from the same universe being present, who couldn't be more different from each other due to the character having CameBackWrong in ''Anime/TransformersEnergon''. First is ''[[Anime/TransformersArmada Armada]]'' Starscream, the NobleDemon and the furthest from the traditional depiction of the character "Starscream", in the ''midst'' of his character arc due to possessing the Star Saber and original colors, supported by his being shown with Hot Shot in the "Velocitron Speedia 500" Japanese comic as a nod to Starscream's [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor brief period as an Autobot]]. The second is ''[[Anime/TransformersCybertron Cybertron]]'' Starscream, best described as a more successful version of the original Starscream and genuinely evil, from ''before'' he gained access to the Omega Lock due to still having two swords as his Cyber Key power rather than a sword and gun.

** Erial, Dion, and Orion Pax each come with guns that none of them weilded in the G1 cartoon, as they were originally civilian bots with no combat sxperience
