LEGENDS LIVES ON - TakaraTomy Addresses Legends Series' Future In Hyper Hobby Magazine

Autobase Aichi has published a synopsis of the Transformers news in this month's issue of Hyper Hobby, one of the many hobby magazines published monthly in Japan. While the mechanical translation is typically shaky, it seems as though the Legends series, with its higher standards of deco, will be continuing alongside the Japanese release of Power of the Primes! But there is still a catch - keep reading for details.

Emphasis is ours. If we're making heads or tails of this correctly, this is saying that Legends will continue "centered on TakaraTomy Mall." Meaning Japanese online exclusives - so don't be surprised if importing whatever Legends series figures we get from here in becomes a little more expensive. Still, this could be an alternative to PotP on some figures, or at least an expansion of character selection, so good news!

It also mentions that the combining feature of Blackwing and Dreadwind isn't mentioned in the magazine, which is apparently a continuing thing. Maybe they're trying to downplay that until a Legends Buster and Hydra are announced? Let's hope so.
