Meanwhile, by the end of 2012, the name "Legends Class" was repurposed, now referring to a new price point of toys released under the Generations line that were sold as two-packs during the first two years. With the discontinuation of the Cyberverse play pattern, the name "Legion Class" was used for exclusive redecos of older toys under the Age of Extinction and 2014 Transformers lines and then also used for new sculpts under the 2015 Robots in Disguise line, thereby effectively replacing "Legends Class" as the name for this size class. Confusingly, the name "Legends Class" was still used concurrently, both for the Generations "GDO" line-up mentioned above (which featured redecos of figures originally released under the Reveal the Shield banner, with retooled hands and new weapons based on the 3mm standard established by the Cyberverse play pattern), and around the same time also for the " market six" (read: "Dollar stores") exclusive assortment of rebranded and barely redecoed older figures listed further above, which later featured running changes for two figures reflecting the changes from the "GDO" redecos. The Japanese counterpart to this line of toys is EZ Collection.įollowing the 2010 Transformers line's Reveal the Shield subline imprint, Hasbro decided to move the Legends size class into a different direction, which ultimately created a rather confusing "fork": With 2011's Dark of the Moon line, the former Legends price point was absorbed into the new Cyberverse play pattern and renamed into "Legion Class", which was subsequently also used under the Transformers: Prime line and its Beast Hunters subline imprint. While some toys under different lines were still sold as "Legends Class" for a while, the name was eventually repurposed and used for toys sold under the Generations banner that were distinctively different from the original "Legends". The "Legends Class" name was dropped for the 2011 Dark of the Moon line, when it was absorbed into the Cyberverse play pattern and renamed "Legion Class" (see that page for information on toys released under that name), and that name for the toy style has persisted in all following lines. While the Legends play pattern has since become a constant presence in the Transformers franchise and is still in use today, the naming has changed considerably. The "Series" designations were then abandoned, but the "Legends class" branding for the price point lived on.

Each assortment of single-pack figures was its own distinctly-numbered "Series", and that numbering was continued into the latter Classics and live-action movie toylines. They started life in 2005's Cybertron toyline under the name Legends of Cybertron. They are typically (but not always) smaller representations of larger toys within the same line, meant to get kids figures of major/popular characters with a small price tag. Legends Class figures are small, simplified transforming toys, larger than a Mini-Con but smaller than a normal " Basic" class toy.
