Transformers reactivate characters

Transformers fans had a pretty good December back in 2022. A new movie was inbound and then Splash Damage, developer of Batman: Arkham Origins, revealed a trailer (below) for the co-op game Transformers: Reactivate at that year's Game Awards. One to four players would team up and blast their way through a new story in the franchise while coming across fan-favorite characters. January 2025 sees a very different mood now. Splash Damage announced via their X account that Reactivate is being cancelled. “This decision did not come lightly, and it is a difficult time for the studio and our people. We want to take a moment to thank the team who worked on Transformers for their dedication and passion," reads the post in part. Sadly, yes, this will likely result in layoffs at the company. While exact numbers haven't been revealed, the announcement does already mention jobs could be "potentially" at risk of reduction. Yeah, they wouldn't say that at all if there was even a remote chance they would be keeping their entire staff. Splash Damage also took time out in the post to thank Hasbro and express a desire to work with the toy company in the future. That really just leaves Splash Damage with the team working on "Project Astrid," which is a sci-fi project based on a new, original IP. If the company has any other projects in the works, we have yet to hear about them. We hope any impacted employees find work quickly.

Transformers: Reactivated is a co-op action game, from developer Splash Damage, and it’s out on Consoles and PC in 2023.The trailer debuted at last night’s Game Awards, and it featured the song Dead or Alive, by Bon Jovi. Well, a cover of that song, at any rate – a weird, mournful version that played while a city was attacked by evil robots.At any rate, the game looks pretty cool, and the trailer showed someone seemingly suiting up in a Transformery mech, kind of reminiscent of Titanfall, in a way. Or maybe there is no person inside, and it's just a regular transformer. We’ll see. The description reads:“The gravest threat to humanity has arrived. And it’s already won.Earth is no longer ours; it belongs to them.Fight back against the Legion in TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE, the new 1-4 player online action game from Splash Damage.”Transformers: Reactivate is out on “PC and consoles” in 2023, though we aren’t sure of the specific platforms.

Summary Transformers franchise spans decades with diverse media presence creating a strong global fanbase. Autobots, including legendary members like Optimus Prime and Grimlock, have diverse personalities and iconic status. Characters like Ironhide, Arcee, and Jazz bring unique qualities to the Autobots, contributing to the franchise's enduring legacy. The Transformers franchise has spanned nearly three decades. There have been numerous iterations in multiple mediums such as comics, animation, and live-action movies. With all of the available media, Transformers has one of the largest fan bases in pop culture. Related Transformers: Best Optimus Prime Voice Actors, Ranked Optimus Prime has a very iconic voice, but many different and talented voice actors have been able to do the role justice over the decades. The franchise's "good guy" faction, called the Autobots, consists of multiple characters of various designs and personalities. Fans have their favorites of new and old generations over the years, but the list is more diverse than one might think. While many transformers, especially Autobots, see popularity, not all stand the test of time and remain on center stage. But from G1 to the current prime universe and everything in between (including the "hate it or love it" live-action universe), many Autobots have become legendary in the Transformers mythos. Updated on January 3, 2025 by C.M. Edwards: The Transformers franchise continues to be a pillar of the world of entertainment. With a history that spans over forty years, Transformers have garnered a dedicated following thanks to their avenues in multiple media such as live-action films, video games, and even comic books. The decades-long war between Decepticons and Autobots has captivated thousands around the world and provided some of the best good-guy vs bad-guy stories currently. Having recently released their film Transformers One, the origin of some of the greatest Autobots in history, including Optimus Prime, was explored. There are endless soldiers when it comes to the mighty and righteous Autobots, but only a select few rise to the top. Here are more of the best Autobots in Transformers. 20 Grimlock A Beast Among Mechs First Appearance: Transformers Generation 1 Grimlock's history with the Autobots is one of the most convoluted, which easily lands him a place on the list. He’s been a genius, a Neanderthal, an arrogant hothead, and a seasoned leader. One of four Dinobots remaining in continuity from G1 forward, Grimlock is a fan favorite and a prominent member of the Autobots. He is powerful, albeit something of a loose cannon that no one ever wants to see coming their way. He has even bumped heads with even Optimus Prime himself. 19 Inferno Never Runs From A Battle, Win Or Lose First Appearance: Transformers Generation 1 Inferno is often

News Will it bring things back for Squad Busters? Transformers are coming to Squad Busters as the first major collab in the game rolls out! Optimus Prime and Elita-1 will be playable for a limited time Meanwhile, certain characters are getting themed skins, while chests, modifiers and more get a makeover While it received huge attention and praise, by Supercell standards the launch of Squad Busters was somewhat lacklustre. But as we've pointed out, the Finnish studio doesn't tend to leave things half-done when they've committed, and Squad Buster's first major collaboration is here as they team with Hasbro's iconic Transformers franchise!From the Transformers franchise, characters Optimus Prime and Elita-1 will be making their debut as the first outside characters to join the game's roster. That's not all, of course, as selected characters will also get special themed skins, while modifiers, spells and chests will also get limited-time makeovers.The collab comes just in time for Hasbro's own Transformer's Day celebrations on the 17th, and the launch of the hotly-anticipated film Transformers One on the 20th. It also comes hot off the heels of Supercell's first major collaboration with famous footballer Erling Haaland, who made an appearance in their flagship game Clash of Clans.Something or other about Autobots and rolling outLike I previously wrote, Squad Busters had a decent if lacklustre launch by Supercell standards. But by everyone else's standards, it was still a huge success, and Supercell seems to be capitalising on this as they go all-in on collabs, which until now have been relatively rare in their games despite the global popularity of titles like Clash of Clans.Hope into the Transformers collab in Squad Busters from September 16th to October 7th!Or if you're not particularly fussed about Squad Busters, don't worry, instead, you can always peruse our massive list of the best mobile games of 2024 (so far)!Better yet, why not dig into our list of the top 25 free-to-play games on iOS and Android if you're more of a budget-conscious gamer and get the top picks from virtually every genre?

Recent Transformers movies contradict Bay's films, such as when Optimus Prime first came to Earth. However, the newer movies haven't done enough to differentiate themselves from Bay's films. This is likely because Bay still acted as a producer on both Bumblebee and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. I Don’t Think The Next Transformers Movie Will Make The Timeline Any Less Complicated A Transformers & G.I. Joe Crossover Is In Development The ending of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts sets up a G.I. Joe crossover for the next movie. Admittedly, this is very exciting, but I am still doubtful that the next film in the series will make the timeline any less complicated. It has not been announced when the Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover will take place, or what characters will be included in the film. However, since Rise of the Beasts is set in 1994, I think it's safe to assume it will also take place in the 1990s. Related Transformers’ Next Live-Action Movie Is About To Make An Old Bayverse Criticism Even Worse Transformers is coming back with another live-action movie, but it should learn from the successes and failures of the past to get the best results. If the Transformers franchise truly is supposed to be in a new era, then the next film needs to do some serious work to differentiate its style and tone from the Bayverse. Overall, I would be much more excited about the Transformers franchise if it felt like it was planned out better. Therefore, future Transformers movies need to clearly establish what the timeline of the franchise looks like.
