The leaks are back baby! Below you will see a leaked slide from years ago when the Reactivate game was called Rise showing 4 new Transformers toys with fully new molds. The name has changed since, to Reactivate, so the name on the boxes will be different. The two boxsets are Optimus/Soundwave and Starscream/ Bumblebee with the latter also having some official images up at Toysrus.ca. As said, the images are old and not final, so the product will not only have a different name but probably also not have a plastic window. That's to be seen. Hasbro has confirmed these leaks and said that these toys will be fully revealed November 14th:

We wanted to note that recent TRANSFORMERS product information and images revealed by a Canadian retailer were listed incorrectly. Our partners at Splash Damage are working hard on the TRANSFORMERS: Reactivate game. We’re excited to announce that we will lead the charge with two game-inspired 2-packs, revealing and pre-ordering on November 14th.

Wow, I'd forgotten all about this.

Since Earthspark also happened during the delay since info on the game and toys were first leaked, that car mode just screams "Swindlebee", leaving me wondering if he'd have made a different first impression a couple years ago. That Frankenscream color scheme, on the other hand, serves as a timeless homage to all those times Screamer came back as zombie, starting with Race With The Devil!

Not dismissing the game's premise though, the trailer showed a lot of potential, if I'm remembering the right prior leak.

I am all kinds of excited for a new but bug like Bumblebee. The alt mode looks fun. Not sure it’s “definitive” enough to usurp Netflix as all time Bee, but I can’t wait.

Screams looks really good too. It’s a new mold, but it looks like it’s at least using the Legacy Metalhawk cockpit and nose cone transformation.

The artwork for Prime and Soundwave look promising as well. Can’t wait to see photos of them. There is a rumor they are already hitting Port for Winter sales, so hopefully we get to see those two soon

At first glance I thought they were repainting SS Blitzwing into Starscream. I'm surprised these aren't SS Gamer Edition figures, that line seemed tailor made for these.

Too bad they're making us wait until mid November for the full reveal when there's a reveal event happening next week.

I'll probably never play Reactivate because I'm not really a gamer, but those figures look really good and I'm tempted to buy them, it's a case of where I fit them in my current collection set-up. I like the mismatched colours on Starscream and the vehicle mode on Bumblebee, and I'm excited to see how Optimus and Soundwave turn out.

I'm liking Starscream a good bit more than Bumblebee, so this is a definite maybe.

I want to see that Optimus up close. It looks sick.

News Credits: 1 · by **bluecatcinema** » Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:55 pm

Not bad. Especially Starscream's design.

News Credits: 7 · by **TulioDude** » Thu Oct 19, 2023 4:54 pm

THey look good, but how they are presented on the game, may be a deciding factor if I will want to get these.

Starscream doesn't look good to me
Bumblebee has such a cool design and I love the alt mode, but the weird long neck and messy shoulders and legs just make this not worth it for me. Maybe with in hand images I'll change my mind

That Soundwave and Optimus pack, though. I might get it just for Soundwave

Bumblebee looks better on the box. His shoulders aren't that strange, he has panels or doors on his back that sort of blend together with the shoulders making it look like he has massive shoulder pads. I think his head can be lowered a bit, it looks like the part his neck is attached to is popped up a bit.

For now my concerne with the Soundwave and Prime set is that if it's anything like the other set then Soundwave is a Deluxe.

Those are some good looking toys! I will be getting that 2 pack!

Actually really like the idea of dune buggy Bee, but the aesthetics of these two in actual plastic form really don't do it for me, shame.

Also blue eyes on a (non-SG) Starscream should be illegal.

You should bring that up with Earthspark Starscream too

Thanks to SonicBomberCore on Facebook, we have our first good look at the upcoming Transformers Reactivate Optimus Prime. While it takes some cues from the recent Optimus toys we've had, it is all new parts and does have its own distinctive look. He will be coming in a two pack with Soundwave which is said to be exclusive. You'll let us know what you think.

He looks cool!
These toy pics make wonder what the game will be like. It seens more action focused. I can see you running over Decepticons with this truck mode.

This looks AMAZING!!! Love it!!! Maybe the best total package. No open sections on the alt mode OR the bot mode. Maybe the underside, but not on the top.

Not a fan of the big gray side pieces on his truck mode. Sadly, they're also gray on his game model.

News Credits: 7 · by **Overcracker** » Tue Oct 31, 2023 9:49 am

Prime does look really cool.

Was trying to avoid picking these up... but damn that Prime.....

No towing a trailer though.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Oct 31, 2023 1:42 pm

Prime looks a lot like Classics Prime in some ways, and I love it.

This may be the definitive G1 styled Prime, it looks excellent!

by **angtre** » Tue Oct 31, 2023 1:56 pm

I especially like the idea of the spiky bumper: if Teletraan-1 was so mean not to give you a war-efficient alt. mode, you try to fully exploit what you have.

I'm ready to see Nemesis Prime here! It would have been great had they given this Prime side windows in truck mode...'nuff said! :VEHI:

I'm a little late to the party, but the lack of side windows was definitely something I noticed right away. And headlights. Otherwise he looks great and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest in hand.

Also I didn't realize until now how tiny WfC Prime is. That whole line set of figures is problematic.
