Self-proclaimed, news leaker @DpzLuna has shared some insights on what may be coming to the Transformers: Reactivate (previously named Transformers: Rise) game, FACTIONS! According to the recent post, we can expect to see the Beast Wars action to join the fray with both the Maximals and Predacons said to be part of the game with their characters abilities.
But there's more? There is a mention of the already revealed Quintessons as well, which is starting to feel a lot like the War For Cybertron Trilogy all over again. Hopefully, the game plays as good as the previews look, see below. Read on to see the post from @DpzLuna, that should be taken as a rumor at this time.
Get ready for an array of unique powers and abilities, unleashing a realm of new possibilities and strategies.
But that's not all! As the Transformers universe is vast and diverse, we can't help but wonder on which other iconic factions will join the fray.
Perhaps the cunning and elusive Quintessons will emerge from the shadows? Only time will reveal the incredible surprises in store!
Transformers: Reactivate game from Splash Damage lets fans play against an invading alien threat known as the Legion in this new action game for 1-4 players. The game will be released in 2023 for PC and Consoles hardware. See the debut trailer below for a first look.
Wha.. Wha... What do you mean Optimus isn't voiced by Peter Cullen!?! What do you mean!?! WHY!!!
I like this Optimus design. I don't usually play video games, so I probably won't play the game; but I do very much like the designs. I have been looking for an Optimus with the Matrix of Leadership and this one looks perfect. So far the only problem that I see is the handle shape design on the axe. Other than that, I think this is a solid figure.
Okay...what's with the decos? Is that supposed to be scorch marks and battle damage or something? I'm not quite feeling whatever that is. I don't mind the asymmetrical nature of it so much. It's more that it doesn't seem to belong. I don't think the figures are designed to be asymmetrical like a Transmetal 2 or Energon Starscream. Nor is this intentional for twins like Combiner Wars Stormclash and Skyburst.
It's not quite as noticeable on Bumblebee as black is in his color scheme normally and it's seemingly not as prominent on him. With Starscream though it's very noticeable in a bad way. There's several Starscream figures that have black on them but that's due to some kind of stupid shit for cheaper figures and it always looked out of place.
Sure would like to know if there's ever going to be "clean" versions before committing to getting this set as I like that Starscream so much better than the Earthrise mold. It looks like the IDW T30 legends class/CW leader class Starscream design and I really liked that updated look. With a bit of SSBB Cybertronian Starscream oddly enough or maybe I'm seeing SSBB Blitzwing.
The price is a bit weird too. It's more than what a deluxe and voyager would be by $12. Is this representative of another price increase? Is this maybe licencing fees to the game designers? Does this mean that this isn't a standard deluxe and a voyager? The box dimensions are 9.5 inches tall by 13 inches wide by 3.2 inches deep and a little over 1 pound in weight. So that would make me think that these are indeed a voyager and a deluxe at most.
So that makes me want to know if/when we're getting "clean" versions all the more. I wouldn't want to pay the prices on upcharged figures just for them to be released later with decos I like better. This isn't a Siege and Premium Finish Starscream situation either where they're both fine and have the exact same decos but in different color saturations and shades. This also isn't a case of Kingdom vs Legacy Galvatron or Siege vs Legacy Soundwave either where it's just a little bit of battle damage paint apps that are not applied for the newer versions and can be removed from the older versions.
Looking forward baby, wanna play this game with my cousin and friends. Can't wait for the details.
