Legion (KP)

The Legion are Decepticons from the Kiss Players portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

We genuinely couldn't find a less creepy mainpic. And trust us, we've tried. MULTIPLE TIMES.

Its name is Legion (レギオン Region), a new species of Transformer created when the Unicron-enhanced cells of the Decepticon leader Galvatron were spread throughout Earth's atmosphere in the year 2005. Fusing with various creatures and vehicles and wearing the face of Megatron, the vicious Legion army has converged on the city of Tokyo, the site of Galvatron's catastrophic impact.

They appear to have fluid-filled organic components and enjoy the taste of sweet, sweet Kiss Player flesh. They're kind of horrible.

Fiction

Kiss Players

Voice actor: Hirofumi Tanaka (Japanese)

Following a presumably Legion-related subway attack in Japan, a lone Legion member came upon a bleakly despairing Atari Hitotonari and offered to end her suffering by killing her. Cornering the panicked girl, it was about to make good on its offer when the Ne-04 Autorooper interfered. When the Autorooper disgorged the unconscious Kiss Player Shaoshao Li, Atari merged with it and quickly beheaded the Legion, seemingly terminating it. Kiss Players #1

Shao later awoke to find herself a prisoner in one of several tubes containing very alive and hungry Legion heads in the basement of Earth Defense Command headquarters. It appeared that the E.D.C. had been conducting human experimentation on captured Legion units for an unknown purpose. Kiss Players #2

Another Legion that attacked Marissa Faireborn at sea was described by Optimus Prime as a Parasitech fusion between an octopus and a shipwreck. As Parasitech fusions were also used by the Autoroopers of the Earth Defense Command, it may have be that there as a connection between the two. A SINISTER one. Someday, Beneath the Sun

Less than six months after joining the E.D.C., Atari ate an omelette (which she had prepared) that contained a miniaturized Legion. The surprisingly communicative and wacky intestinal invader was engaged and defeated by Atari's shrunken Autorooper and dissolved in the girl's digestive acids. There was, astoundingly, nothing psychosexual about the encounter beyond this. Atari-chan's Critical Moment!?

A group of 23 Legions attacked the recently reconstructed Tokyo Bay Bridge, but were defeated by the combined efforts of Hot Rod and Shaoshao, though not before repeatedly attempting to molest Shao with their tentacles. Tonight's Big Catch!?

I want to tell you about the Transformers! This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help Transformers Wiki by expanding it. Kiss Players #3

What's next, Legion Class Legions? ...wait a second...

In Megatron's daydream where he had been integrated to the Earth itself, an army of Legions was present. Megatron's Ambition!? The Solar Tower Is Built!

Notes

• The first Legion seen in the Kiss Players manga is based on the Alternators Windcharger/Decepticharge mold, with a Megatron-esque head and odd triplicate headlights. This appears to be a common, though not universal, body type for the group.
• The Legions are possibly inspired by the Biblical demon of the same name.
• Let's just be honest: the Legion's prehensile tongues are explicitly phallic. There, it's been said. Don't you feel better having come to terms with that?
