Mobage have announced the details of their new Unicron Returns event for Transformers: Legends. The event is based upon the Generation One episode "Ghost in the Machine".
STARSCREAM, still a ghost, makes a deal with UNICRON for a new body. He goes to the DECEPTICON base, and takes control of SCOURGE and CYCLONUS. He leads the two DECEPTICONS to Earth, so they can fulfill UNICRON’S commands - for new eyes and a new body.
While SERGEANT KUP and SLINGSHOT fly to Earth to do a routine inspection on AUTOBOT CITY, SCOURGE and CYCLONUS, spurred on by STARSCREAM, head there to steal the mighty METROPLEX’S eyes.
After a fierce battle, the DECEPTICONS manage to escape with one, and head to their next task, to bring TRYPTICON’S body to UNICRON. The AUTOBOTS follow, intent on preventing whatever mayhem they intend to perpetrate.
Will they be able to stop STARSCREAM from reviving the galaxy’s greatest threat? Will UNICRON rise again? Find out on TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS – “UNICRON RETURNS”!
Mobage also announced changed to the maximum number of players and the team point thresholds:
Please note that we have made some changes to the episode. The team sizes have been adjusted, so that it now takes a minimum of 15 players to form a team, up to a maximum of 20.
In addition, the Team Point Threshold has been increased, from the previous 3500 points to 5000 points.
Thanks! We hope you enjoy the next episode, TRANSFORMERS Legends - “Unicron Returns”.

TagHobby have revealed that thhe MP-23 Takara-Tomy Masterpiece figure will be .... Exhaust! Who, you ask? Exhaust is a recolour of the upcoming MP-20 Wheeljack figure with a new head and is based on the Marlboro diaclone Wheeljack figure but as a Decepticon.
The figure may seem like a strange one but TakaraTomy do like to release recolours of the figures to justify the tooling costs. We are still expecting a Slicer repaint to be released at somepoint, though that may turn out to be a Hasbro figure more than a TakaraTomy one,
