The Transformers Reactivate game has gone through multiple iterations. It was initially called Transformers Rise and now the opening cutscene that was originally made for that initial iteration has leaked. It is a series of slightly moving images, which we’ve seen in low effort online coop or multiplayer shooter games.
This will probably not be the cutscene we get when Reactivate finally comes out but it gives a sense of the kind of game it is and its budget. More importantly, it reveals what the generic enemy is. It is a swarm of nanobots from space that can take the form of one eyed enemies. When that form is killed, the nanobots disperse to reform into another enemy at a later time. That’s the storytelling behind the gameplay loop to explain the endless enemy fodder.

I just hope it's not just a live service game that is online multi-player only with zero story.

I can’t imagine this game will be anything but. Season passes. Wildly overpriced skins. Shooter with vague TF skin. Of course I could be wrong, but the history of attempts at these online TF games does not inspire hope.
All I (we?) want is a single player open-world space/combat/base builder
sim where I can play as a fully customized character, on both an Autobot and Decepticon campaign.

That’s exactly what this is.
As soon as its confirmed, I’ll make a news article with the words “live service” in the headline

Sounds like you want Fallout 4 with a TF theme.

Not quite, perhaps something more comparable to Outer Worlds? Different gameplay, Devastation-like 3rd person perspective and movement. A starship that acts as a hub/base to travel between different worlds like Earth, Nebulos, etc. would be cool to assemble a custom combiner team. I could go on and on.
What WOULD be nice, is some more info on Reactivate in general. Another trailer or some gameplay, anything. But we’ll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At the very least, the toys will be cool.
Too bad the times of the stellar Activision games are long gone.

Going off of the leaked (old?) intro scene.
Having looked around on other websites/social media, it's kinda crazy how the opinion on Jon Bailey and other Peter Cullen impersonations have turned around in the last few years, back in say the 2010's people thought impersonations were cool and such or at least had less of a pushback as they do now.
Not that Jon's a bad VO, his Shockwave/Soundwave in Bumblebee were great and I'll always adore his portrayal of the Council Spokesman in Xcom Enemy Unknown/Within and Xcom 2. Although it seems people are especially touchy on Optimus Prime voices that aren't original takes like Garry Chalk or David Kaye.

Even when I first heard Jon Bailey's Optimus Prime voice back in 2011, I was never a big fan of it, and the way it sounded here is even worse.

At least with Jon, I think some of the backlash lately comes from what happened with Cullen's treatment by Travis Knight, his support of NFTs, and then his support of currently problematic Tara Strong

Any artists who are considered "problematic" by oversensitive people are doing it right. However, supporting NFTs is deserving of a one way ticket to Hell.

I would argue Tara Strong is not even remotely doing it right, but sure.
Also, the Travis Knight thing is the reason Cullen actually hates Jon.

The way the story seems to have fallen, Travis Knight was not going to use Peter Cullen in Bumblebee, but then he got really upset, or someone got really upset on his behalf, and then it was found that he actually despises people impersonating his version of Prime, and when he did record, something happened with Knight to make him more pissy.
I am not 100% sure on those details, but that is general outline I've gathered.

While a cinematic trailer was released for the Transformers Reactivate game, which seems to be a live service game ala Warframe, we haven't had more info on it since. Well, the question was asked to a Hasbro Australia representative at a Transformers 40th Anniversary Event, in Australia, and this is what they said:
"it is highly anticipated and I know that fans are waiting for it to come out and be released. Hopefully in 2025, we will have more to show"
So we should expect nothing for the rest of the year. But the game is still coming out.

Clearly, they are taking their time and redesigning the characthers to be more Armada inspired.
Day 1606 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I'm sure I won't play the game, as it's not a single-player game, so whether it comes out TODAY, 203X, or never is not my concern. It's all about the figures for me. The 2 2-packs are nice enough, but I still haven't bought them as I don't see it's an on-going line, as I don't want a "Reactivate" shelf with only 4 figures.
But I do wish the game succeeds for those that's into live-service games so Hasbro have the incentives to come out with more figures, and then I'll probably dip into the line.

I guess that explains why Hasbro pulled "Rise Lifeline" from 2024 Studio Series wave 3 (along with TLK Drift) leaving the Decepticon Soldier as the only new figure in the wave.
I wonder how Hasbro feels about this, surely it's had an impact on their plans for 2024 and 2025.
