The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) harbour a large sample of transient high-mass X-raybinary (HMXB) systems at a moderate and well known distance with low Galacticforeground absorption. In the course of the eROSITA all-sky surveys the MCs andthe Magellanic Bridge (MB) are scanned frequently. This provides the uniqueopportunity to detect hard X-ray transients in the full Magellanic System (MS)as already demonstrated during the first surveys. To continue our program wepropose five 20 ks triggered XMM observations of new or unexplored hardtransient sources in the MS. Our goal is to study their spectral and temporalproperties. This will allow us to continue the build-up of large statisticalsamples of HMXBs in the MS but also to search for other hard transients like low-mass X-ray binaries. [truncated!
