Takara Tomy has uploaded the Epilogue of their Transformers Legends Web Comic/Manga on their official website.
This 18-page epilogue appears to be the final chapter of the Legends web comic/manga after a run of 5 years and 53 issues. This story was real different (sometimes controversial) and brought characters from all the vast Transformers multiverse into one single story, and giving us some background for the new Legends characters and toys for the Japanese market.
These final pages show most of the characters and their destiny after coming back to their respective universes and timelines. We can even spot some panel with Energon Alexis remembering Starscream, God Fire Convoy combined with Devil Gigatron in hand form, Optimus Prime and Megatron final team-up and more. All is left to say is thanks to artist Hayato Sakamoto for all their work on this project.
It is unclear if we will have another web comic or manga for the recently revealed Generations Selects Star Convoy, or the upcoming Seacons and Super Megatron toys. Check all the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Thanks, that’s a point of reference to start looking

It should be the pack-in manga for the LGEX Big Powered set (or perhaps one of the TakaraTomy online mangas set before it.) I usually have copies of all the manga on my computer but I’m on vacation at the moment and don’t have them readily available.
Fenrys
mind if i ask which legends manga thats in? not saying i dont believe you, just curious as that is a detail that seems to be missing from tfwiki and theyre usually good about obscure details, though even they miss stuff on occasion
Markdelg
That happened long after they were originally Decepticons and then changed sides.
Fenrys
that isnt accurate based on the summary from tfwiki, their bodies were stolen by violen jiger and thats how the powered masters ended up with headmaster bodies

In other words, these 3 have been immensely fleshed out
Master Farr
Man it\'s great to see how deep the lore was expanded with the lg comics, seriously making overcharge blitzwing and him originally being a Quintesson soldier was genius and made Blitzwing\'s reason for not trusting them even better

All three original Powered Masters have been retconned to have once been Decepticons in the Legends manga.

I think thats his evil clone made by Devil Z?
Fenrys
Wait, Dai atlas was a decepticon?

It's the Encore reissue, thanks to Primus… one of the copies with no QC issues

This is the funniest goddamn thing I've seen on here in a while and now I need to finally put my GFC back together and try this.
Markdelg
Is that the Encore GFC or the original?
Black Convoy
And it was possible! There's in fact a way to connect both. God Fire Convoy's hands have holes and you can attach one of the pegs on the Devil Hand. Well, pray to Primus to get the toy balanced and not falling. It took me an hour to find a way to stand them together.

Yes, I'd have to agree with you about Car Robots. If you really scrutinize it, it doesn't really work as a shoehorned-in retcon with the G1 cartoon. But then again, all of these cartoons were just kids' shows that were never meant to be scrutinized with such a fine-toothed comb. So it is what it is, and Car Robots is G1
It's all good. Everyone's going to have an opinion about something (see below). The thing about these mangas are that they make up such an incredibly small percentage of the TF fiction, so much so that most of the even hardcore TF fans might not even know it exists. So to me it's not worth making a stink over.
That's great. She's entitled to her opinion.
I never said all Japanese persons have the same tastes. I said that the Legends manga was targeted for a Japanese audience, by which I meant that they are a society (much like many other non-American societies) that on the whole simply don't get offended by such minutiae as some depictions of women in a comic advertisement meant just to sell toys.
And yet he's backed by a major Japanese company. So what does that say about 'subsets?'

How about this for you, then – Japanese artist Kei Zama has mentioned on Twitter that she didn't like how Legends has treated female characters.
The "cultural differences/not for you" argument about skeevy stuff in Japanese Transformers media always annoys me because it implies that Japanese fans are a uniform group of people who all have the exact same tastes.
Sakamoto is writing for a specific target audience, yes, but that audience isn't "all Japanese Transformers fans", it's "a creepy subset of male Japanese Transformers fans".
