A handy infographic.
NARRATION
In truth, this universe was the one that existed before the creation of Convoy and Megatron’s universe: in other words, the “Precursor World” to their “Known World”.

NARRATION
When Primus summoned Convoy and Galvatron from the Known World, a new enemy appeared to face them.

NARRATION
But another inhabitant of the Precursor World had the same plan! He who would create Unicron in the Known World: the scientist, Primacron.
NARRATION
Using the “Divine Power” he developed, Angolmois Energy, he planned to become god of the new world.
Panel 4
Primus summons his PRIMITIVES: the DINOBOTS.
NARRATION
In order to stop him, Primus once again summoned new warriors from the Known World.

What’s more, I feel no fear at hearing all this.

After all, you say destroying this universe allows one to recreate the next as they please, yes?

Then you just have to do so before they do!

PRIMACRON
With the power of the Matrix, it can be done…

Primus!
STAR CONVOY
Does this mean my own universe…

Listen to me! Would you really let Primacron end this universe and create a new one?
STAR CONVOY
What? You don’t mean that the universe he creates…
Panel 5

STAR CONVOY
Is the universe we have all been summoned from?!
Panel 6

PRIMUS
But if you put your faith in me, I shall create a truly magnificent world!

And that goes for the people of this world.

Right now my mission is to delay the creation of Primacron’s universe, even for a little while.

This isn’t just for sentient life. I will defend the freedom of life itself.
Panel 6
Star Convoy sums up his arc.

That’s what it is to defend the universe, the world, and everything in it.

That is what I’ve learned here.

Primus chuckles. Uh oh.
PRIMUS
Heh!

I have Megatron Omega next to me, looks like I have to try that hand mode now. I'm excited to see what crazy twists/cameos they put into the true finale, IMO this crazy series has been the most enjoyable transformers media of the last year.
Also, I guess this being (the beginning of) the final manga means no more unique Takara Selects figures are planned? Was this common knowledge, or something that could be inferred from the nearly unchanged Soundblaster getting the Selects numbering and price? I'm both disappointed and relieved I won't be tempted to massively overspend on these figures going forward.

Ok that makes more sense now, most sites, not just this one, for some reason are missing the last two pages, had to go to the original link from Sabre to see the ending.
I personally think it would be awesome if Viz took all the Legends and Selects Mangas and translated and released them similar to what they did with the original Japanese Mangas. Of course it being all color would probably drive up the price a bit
I wonder if they could print them on non glossy paper to keep the cost down a bit.

I sincerely doubt Legends would ever get published over here since there's a LOT of Kiss Players-level of perverted stuff in much of its run, pretty much peaking at Octane's chapter in which he and Tigatron unambiguously open up their own Transformers pornography studio.o.supreme wrote:I personally think it would be awesome if Viz took all the Legends and Selects Mangas and translated and released them similar to what they did with the original Japanese Mangas.

oh wow, wasn't aware of that... still, while that is not something I'd be interested in, (also IIRC BW character presence is fairly minor in most of those stories) while I wouldn't call it "hentai", there is still a lot of perverse stuff that has been translated and you can just pick up at B&N. I'm not sure of there is any sort of rating system on these, and I'm sure probably the major objection would be that Transformers is usually marketed towards kids as opposed to teens/adults but still... Oh well, I guess fan translations will have to do for now.

Yes, but those manga aren't tied to a children's toy brand (like Transformers) run by an American company that prides its self on being "fanmily"-friendly with said brand (like Hasbro).o.supreme wrote:oh wow, wasn't aware of that... still, while that is not something I'd be interested in, (also IIRC BW character presence is fairly minor in most of those stories) while I wouldn't call it "hentai", there is still a lot of perverse stuff that has been translated and you can just pick up at B&N.
The Legends manga began as a Beast Wars office comedy. Its chibi BW cast is extremely prominent from start to finish.o.supreme wrote:(also IIRC BW character presence is fairly minor in most of those stories)

I am very sad to see these end and hope a new series happens. Every panel and page has been awesome of Selects and all the way back to the original black and white BW office stuff to the Legends manga. A lot of it has been pretty crazy deep lore stuff that went way off the rails. However thats how I would describe most of the Jap G1 cartoon story. Its been a fun ride, thanks

I mean, for a dumb random mode they just made up on the spot, its good enough. It is a shame it can't attach to anything though.

And, sadly it cannot attach to the MP-10 mold.

Who's up for solving a mystery?
In these Selects comics, the seven planets protected by a different Order belonging to the Primus Vanguard are inhabited both by members of each Order and what can be called "civilian" inhabitants.
To give some examples, on the Blue Planet are the Blue Order and the Beast People (pre-Beastformers/Battle Beasts). On the Green Planet are the Green Order and local fauna based on the beast modes of the Beast Wars Fuzors. On the Purple Planet are the Purple Order and genetic experiments based on the Pretender Monsters.
On the White Planet, however, are the members of the White Order and... something else. Folks elsewhere are trying to identify what these things might be and need some help. These things resemble little smiley-faced people dressed in snow parkas. We're wondering if they might be some obscure spinoff thing related to Transformers/Hasbro/TakaraTomy/etc. somehow, given how reference-heavy these manga chapters have each been so far.
Here are some pics that feature these parka-wearing civilian creatures, whatever they are (click each to see full size):
Note that while one of them is seen standing next to a couple of BotBots, the parka dudes are not BotBots themselves as there are no BotBots that resemble them.

At long last, the entire saga of the Generations Selects manga has been fully lettered in English!
Translated by Star Spangled Sam and lettered by Fanofcoolstuff27 and MrRald (all members of TFWiki), the full saga of this series actually begins with the comics and toy bios of the e-HOBBY-exclusive Legends Convobat and Magna Convoy toys, as well as those of the Legends Blue Big Convoy toy.
From these three toys, a whole new world was built and developed within the pages of the Generations Selects manga series. The series story starts off very cryptic and unexplained (downright confusing, even), with things revealed little by little over time, making the whole series better to read in full in order to fully understand it.
This series tells the story of the legendary Primus Vanguard, a group of mighty warriors divided into seven orders, who serve under the one and only Primus himself. This is the Japanese Generation 1 version of Primus, and it is his backstory that is divulged here, showing just how he fits into the larger scheme of the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon universe.
The series also picks up on a plot point that was left open ended at the end of the Legends manga. Namely, humanity's discovery of Angolmois Energy hidden deep within the Earth, which led to a new industrial revolution of clean energy in the year 2050.
It also contains a heavy dose of time-travel from all across the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline, stemming from the year 2011 (between Season 3 of the G1 cartoon and The Headmasters cartoon) as well as the year 2020 (the confirmed year of the Super-God Masterforce cartoon), the aforementioned future year of 2050, and the far distant future of the Japanese Beast Era cartoons. All of which come together in the main setting of the storyline: the mysterious "Precursor World".
Below is a list of every piece of media directly connected to this storyline, fully translated and lettered by all of those mentioned above, and placed specifically in order of release since the chronological order is a bit messy: the series ends in a roundabout way that expects readers to have already read the earlier-released stories that are set later.
And unlike most Japanese manga, these comics read in Western-style left-to-right.
Without further ado, let the saga begin.
