During Hasbro Pulsecon 2021, it was announced that the new Legacy figures will feature QR codes on their packaging. These codes would take you to an specific character page which will show tech-specs and bios. It took some time but as part of the “Transformers Tuesday” the official Transformers social media channels have confirmed that the Transformers Legacy QR Codes are finally active.
Thanks to our 2005 Boards members, we can share for you direct links to the Legacy Bulkhead, Laser Optimus Prime, Blaster & Eject, Galvatron, Arcee, Dragstrip, Skids and Iguanus bios and tech specs. Each page shows an animated image of each character.

Seeing how United ditched the QR Codes, sad, but likely gonna stay down.
pokemonsdoom
well the ones that are down are still down, I dont think they are getting fixed at all,
pokemonsdoom
ok going through the list heres what i found
pokemonsdoom
Yeah. Only the final wave is gone after testing

The TF Wiki does provide a valuable service, and I get why it's done, but this is very much why I bemoan the moving of such information to ephemeral websites rather than keeping them on the packages.
(Conversely, I wish that ALL of the packaging art was made available in a clean format online, rather than ONLY on the packages [in some cases].)

I hadn't tried the older ones, that IS weird!
pokemonsdoom
Weirdly all of them are up except the last wave that had alot of technical issues including mo animation or icons in either web or mobile versions. Forgot which one it was
Seeaich
Yeah, it seems a shame it got scrubbed when the WFC Trilogy site pages were left up so long! Looks like Hasbro finally did a webpage clearout because it all seems to have been scrubbed whether I try to access vis US or EN-GB! I wonder what United is replacing them with, if anything at all?

The data is on TFWiki, but it isn't easily searchable. I have it bookmarked. User:Boingus/Legacy QR code bios – Transformers Wiki
This is just the data though, no images or anything like that.
Seeaich
I don't suppose anyone managed to WayBack Machine these before Hasbro pulled the plug on 'em?

pokemonsdoom
pages are up! but the animation on the characters is missing so we got still images

That should work, considering they're the only ones of Wave 7 I haven't gotten yet. I'll try to get the URLs up once the site actually works again.

pokemonsdoom
Geez… wonder if they will go up later today
