Twitter has been a-flutter with potential leaks for the recently-announced PC and console game Transformers: Reactivate.

“Transformers Reactivate News” (@TFR_News) has shared a “gallery screen” which may be character selection for the game. The tweet is here: https://twitter.com/tfr_news/status/160 ... 1k6UR4l5ow. This gallery shows seven Transformers in robot mode with smaller images of the alternate forms. Characters featured are Starscream, Slipstream, “Hotrod”, Soundwave, Sunstreaker, Ironhide and Windblade. The fliers’ altmodes are very Cybertronian in design whilst the other bots and cons have vehicle modes more akin to Earth vehicles (including an off-road 4X4 truck Soundwave).

A video by RoboGamer1HD is also doing the rounds where the YouTuber talks about what we’ve seen and heard both officially and unofficially, and hypothesizing about the beta. This video includes glimpses of gameplay footage which indicates the game uses a third-person view rather than the first-person seen in the announcement trailer. The video is here:

Another Twitter account, “Is Transformers Rise of the Beasts Trailer 2 out?” (@ROTBTrailer), has shared screenshots of the gameplay footage from RoboGamer’s video from 2018 here: https://twitter.com/rotbtrailer/status/ ... l2JArcjztA. Another tweet from the same account (https://twitter.com/rotbtrailer/status/ ... 1k6UR4l5ow) suggests the game‘s development started with Certain Affinity in 2017 before moving to current developer Splash Damage. The poster is adamant all leaks confirm that Reactivate is a third-person perspective game.

One can only hope more official reveals are coming and, for this fan at least, that we see toys based on these designs!

These designs look very slick, very excited to see more of this game. :-?

I'm not exited at all for the game itself. But if they ever make Generations toys out of these designs, I'd be all over them.

Heh, fair! But yeah, the toys are definitely something I'm looking forward to as well!

What type of game is this? Please don't say first-person shooter....

It's right in the title.

And I bet that will be some sort of Overwatch clone full of predatory microtransactions.
I expect that game to be a steaming pile of hot garbage but if we can get Generations toys out of it, all will be forgiven.

The teaser suggests first-person, but the leaks all seem to confirm third-person. Hopefully it won't be long until we find out officially.

I need toys of these guys and girls. Soundwave in particular is a very cool take on the design, IMO.

Heres hoping. There actually is a significant percentage of the population that gets severe motion sickness with FPS games, myself included. As niche as this game is, they should minimize the loss of sales if possible.

In his video RoboGaming1HD explicitly states several times that material he has seen from as far back as 2017 consistently describes this as a third-person shooter. "Anyone claiming the game is an FPS is very much wrong. The game is in third-person perspective very similar to the looks of Transformers: War for Cybertron and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron by High Moon Studios."

Oooffff.......

For me using the VR set I will be just fine. It's seeing the initial bill, pay it, then find out I'll have to buy a new one in two years because no retro-compatibility, that would make me barf.

Or being locked out of it because I posted the wrong opinion on Facebook.

A disclaimer though, it's relatively easy to change the position of the camera when programming so the game may have started out in 3rd person but in the years since that footage could have easily changed. Especially if hasbro came along and said "that overwatch/fortnite is popular! Give us that"

What we really need is more official information to clear this up, but we're probably not going to get that till January at the earliest (unless the developers give an interview somewhere in the mean time)

Tiny pictures aside, do Soundwave and Ironhide basically transform into the same thing?

Agreed. I’m taking everything with a grain of salt until Splash Damage says otherwise.

Again I apologise for not being able to share this in more detail (on my phone) but Redditor LuizFelipe1906 has shared several interesting gameplay and character customisation screens reportedly for Transformers: Reactivate: https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/c ... ame=iossmf

-That is a VERY WfC/FoC looking Soundwave, so I love it by default of nostalgia
-Seeker designs look cool, but I'd like to see the full bodies
-Windblade (hey Hasbro remembered her, look at that)....sure looks like Windblade, not really seeing any unique tweaks here
-Ironhide is looking surprisingly like his Prime design, I'm into it
-Hotrod and Sunstreaker I definitely need to see more of to be certain, but initial reaction is definitely no thank you, I'll pass

Oh I know the games are nothing alike, but I was thinking more of popularity (though Overwatch 2 has caused that to dip thanks to Activision Blizzard predatory business practices and shoddy launch). Hasbro executives won't care about how the game works, they'll just care about the green it brings in.

It does have a "WFC on Earth" look the aesthetic. A true third game to WFC/FoC, not like the awful RotDS. Fingers crossed it pans out that way. I suppose, as it is on Earth, you can't avoid some level of human involvement. Although Devastation did that well enough.

I'd expect human involvement to be extremely limited especially if there's no single player mode (the developer is only known for multiplayer games like Enemy Territory)

The free to play aspects are on full display with these screenshots, but we were all fully prepared for that.

Yeah, that's the deal breaker for me. I don't do (non-local) multiplayer games anymore.

Same, I probably won't get it because of the free to play stuff either.

Its my old man yells at clouds moment but I long for the days of old where everything was unlockable within game without having to grind useless in game currency (while the carrot of real world currency to quick unlock dangled).

While I doubt that they'd put blatant pay to win options in (like say elite weapons that deal double or triple damage), the micro-transactions will be designed for multiplayer mode.

How naive you are!

I expect loot boxes, paywalls, and "energy crystals" aplenty.
My expectations for this game are so rock bottom, they actually reach the magma layer.

So like any other game (and a certain RL principle) not spending money means you stay weak and low on the proverbial ladder. Got it.

I already dislike MMO games for the types of players they attract, mind you... And I'm already antisocial >:oP

I'd say more like if you don't pay you're stuck with default characters/skins while those who flash the cash get the better characters/skins that you probably want (thus trying to influence you into spending money as well)
