Takara-Tomy have added another twelve page webcomic to their website for the Transformers Legends line. Everyone is here in this one as the Legends World faces a crisis as Majin Zarak runs amok and timebombs tick down to zero, signalling the end of the world. The comic features not only the Legends cast of characters including the likes of the so far comic-only Autobot Targetmasters, but also characters from Encore including Big Convoy and Beast Machines Optimus Primal, and from Unite Warriors including Superion. If that’s not all, there are some pleasing human cameos from Marcelo Matere, James Roberts (with copy of Lost Light in hand) and Josh “Dyemooch” Perez! Awesomely, each creator cameo has them accompanied by various characters closely associated with them – so Marcelo Matere’s panel has him supported by various Argentinian / South American Transformers such as Robot Man X, James Roberts has him pictured with early 1990s Transformers Thunderclash and Skyquake, and Josh appears alongside Bumblebee. All of the Bumblebees.
While those without any understanding of Japanese might find it hard to follow what is going on, it is clear that this is intended to be a grand finale to the Transformers Legends comics and timeline, wrapping everything up with a planet-shattering explosion and the Maximals ending up back in the Beast Wars – but this time with a trio of Monsterbots for company.
The comic also seems to clear up that Repugnus’ Headmaster is indeed the porcupine Battle Beast, as well as showing off a base mode for Twin Twist.
Check it out attached to this post.

With both comics being released within 2days and the last comic showing the monterbots, chances to get the targetmasters autobots get thinner . Hope to see them in siege.

General Tekno
Yep. He’s a deluxe-sized dude.

I don't have Trypticon. Is Full-Tilt the same size as TR Hot Rod and Kup?

The targetmasters got turned into bombs last comic
Their larger partners became headmasters in Headmaster Chapter Prologue, although it wasn't revealed until Targetmaster Chapter Prologue. They appeared with new transtectors at the end of the previous comic
Mindwipe's delivering the bombs because he's the last one still loyal to Scorponok (excluding Skullcruncher (bad choice because of his narcolepsy) and Scourge/the Sweeps (Scorponok probably had them inside Majin Zarak as cannon fodder))
The three eyed human is Katsu Don, a Zamojin (from the G1 episode "Face of the Nijika") and one of the creators of the Legends world alongside Topspin and Twin Twist
The kaiju robot is Majin Zarak, Scorponok's fifth transtector, which gets destroyed in the Beast Wars II movie set immediately after this from its point of view.

Everything makes perfect sense and a lot of your questions answered in previous installments.
SHIELD Agent 47
It has already been established by prior Legends stories that the small Repugnus accessory is the “Repug Armor”, a small transtector for the bodiless Repug. How Repug got a new large transtector will probably be revealed in the next story.

Hahahaha, "canonized"

Those 12 pages I just looked at. What can I say but:

I'm so happy the concept of "Repugnus with a smaller baby Repugnus" is getting canonized.
Pravus Prime
They were the regular denizens of the Legends universe, humans who due to their love of Transformers became Transformers, sort of.
No shortage of action, was there?
WishfulThinking
"Transformers sickness", I think. Whatever that means…
BB Shockwave
I cannot even remotely guess what the hell is happening here. Why is Mindwipe running things suddenly? He was just one of the regular joes until now. Why are the targetmasters now bombs? What is the weird 3-eyed human and the kaiju robot? Everything just happens off-screen and scenes get resolved withouth being shown.
Also, the Autobot Targetmasters suddenly show up out of nowhere and are Titan masters too?
At any rate, hope this means this nightmare of a comic is finally over.
Y'know what was LESS incomprehensible? The SOS music video.
I will never know why they chose to draw the Beast Wars Maximals – but ONLY them – as Hello Kitty wannabees. Then again, you should see what Rattrap looked like in the Beast Wars Metals manga.
Maybe someone from Hasbro finally learned this exists and phoned Takara to maybe, y'know, don't put ecchi stuff in manga made for kids.

The Adventures of Tiny Gray Potato never disappoint.

Ah okay thanks

Thunderclash and Skyquake (along with all the other characters in the bubbles) are from a different point in the multiverse brought to the Legends world to fight Majin Zarak.

question since when was thunderclash introduce in this comic?
optimusmegas
since i don't use the names for the headmasters of the non traditional headmasters (it's just a bonus play feature for me) i've just been calling him lil' dastard. especially since i put the toon head on my deluxe repugnas and his headmaster, dastard, is in the TM body.
grimlock321
Does little repugnus have a different name? If not we should name it
