The first two years of the Transformers: Legacy toyline featured QR codes that, when scanned, opened a page from the English Transformers website that displayed the character's name, faction, alternate mode, Function, universe of origin, signature weapon, bio, and Tech Specs (strength, intelligence, speed, firepower), and an animated GIF of the toy's robot mode stock render. Certain pages are denoted with a special unit, and for the Evolution toys, an Evo-Fusion power. The information is derived from the characters' original toys when applicable. The QR codes are on the back of the box for the first year Legacy toys, the top of the box for Evolution toys, and the instructions for both years' Core Class toys.
The information below is typed exactly as the pages present it, with the HTML code used for the capitalized text, and " – " used for the pages where the signature weapon name is separated from the description, for consistency.
