Rumor – More Transformers: Reactivate Toyline Info, Releasing in October?
In the beginning of the month, we had a report on some details for figures in the Transformers: Reactivate toyline. However, it was up in the air when or if they would actually be released. Fortunately, thanks to some further detective work of TFW's Jtprime17, we may now have our answer: Not...

It's weird. On paper this is everything I dislike in "modernized" designs. But I kinda like how these two look.
Those are extremely unattractive toys. Eesh. Cheap looking and ugly.
They're intriguing. I'd have to see how they look in hand though.
I like them, but I'm not sure if I'll buy any. If Optimus and Megatron are nice, I'll get them and I might get some characters that I missed during the Siege-Legacy era (Prowl, Ramjet, Dirge, etc).
If this Starscream's cockpit actually becomes his chest as it appears to, this may be the modern Starscream I've been waiting for.
(Especially if there's a non-patchwork repaint coming.)

Not to tell you how to toy... just curious what it was about ER Starscream that didn't do it for you?
Earthrise is a perfect representation of a forty year old animation model.
My collection is set in the present day (I'd prefer something that looked more like a modern next-gen fighter, but with Starscream specifically I can justify him looking sci-fi).
Then what about Cyberverse/Earthspark? Or even Legacy Armada?
And is arguably the most successful fighter jet ever made.
I REALLY like this Bumblebees alt mode. The Baja Buggy just looks really fun. His robot mode looks ok. Better on the back of the package than in the straight on toy pics.
Starscream looks pretty decent in both modes. Not world shaking but decent.
If they were sold separately I would probably buy the BB and might pass on the Screamer... together I don't know. Might be too rich for my blood.
-ZacWilliam, what I like most about these two toys is that it's a StarScream and Bumblebee that are the G1 characters but are not trying to match the G1 cartoon designs. It's been too long since we got new designs and alt modes for the classic guys, rather than just a new iteration of the basic default.

I've always hated the Classics/ER torso. It's boxy without even having the dignity of being a complete box. It's just the front and back panels of a box. No depth.
Hasbro had an official statement through their PR channels:
Sounds like Hasbro didn't update something or TRU Canada was too early in posting details and didn't have an updated image reflected the new game branding.
I don't hate what I see. I really like Bumblebee, as ZacWiliam said, the Baja Bug alt mode is a nice alternate take on the VW mode. Robot mode is decent and I like the dual pistol load out.
Starscream is interesting. With the "patchwork repair" stylings, it strikes me as a cross between the aesthetics of Energon Starscream on the base design of the Evergreen design. I'm also struck by some of the proportions, which kind of evoke Animated Starscream. I could see an overhaul of this mold into that iteration of the character.
I'll wait and see what the price ends up being, but I'm probably game (HA!) if it ends up in the $60 range.
