Legends
of Cybertron (Secondary Retailer Exclusives)
In the summer of 2005, Hasbro
released the "Legends of Cybertron" subline, which included miniaturized
versions of various popular figures from the Transformers: Cybertron mainline.
These were both to allow Cybertron to be carried at retailers that normally
didn't carry big toys, and so that people who didn't want to spend the
big bucks for all the bells and whistles of the larger figure had a smaller
version of their favorite characters to play with. And at just $3 U.S.
a pop, the Legends of Cybertron figures really are quite a bargain. As
noted, however, they are exclusive only to secondary retailers like Meijer's,
Walgreens, and the like, and not places like Wal-Mart or Target-- at least
until around the third series, when, due to poor distribution, they started
to be carried by Toys "R" Us as well. The line ended in Fall 2006, the
same time that the mainline Cybertron ended.
(NOTE: These reviews mainly
cover the differences between the toys and their larger versions instead
of being full reviews, since largely their design and colors are the same
as the larger versions.)
