HERE IT IS! The trailer for TF: Rise! It would've been shown at E3 2020 had a mix of COVID and publisher incompetence not stifled the whole project.
By the end of 2020 the game was given to Splash Damage, who fully rebooted the project with less than 12 months until release.

@tfuinfo.bsky.social Hey there! I couldn’t find a way to DM you, so I hope it’s okay to reach out here. I’m researching the Reactivate game in hopes of preserving its history and I think you posted this slide. Not sure if you have any more info about it but if you do may we discuss it in DMs?

Lord of the Skies, Starscream! Voiced by Steve Blum as you've likely heard from the cutscenes.
This art is really cool, it's the render used in the intro video but painted over with the battle damage. Please enjoy this thread of concept art. :) 🧵

The first model ever made was Hot Rod, so for the first few months of development (late 2017, early 2018) the 3 playable characters were just Hot Rod recolours.

Fun fact!! :))
By mid 2020 several devs and higher ups were pretty confident that CA would have TFR released in less than 12 months. If not for the tensions with Leyou that led to Splash getting the project, Transformers Rise would've likely released at the end of 2021.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GLORIOUS HIGH RESOLUTION, POWERGLIDE! His 2D art has been before, and these renders *might've?* been posted before but definitely not in this quality, please enjoy! Alt mode and other art in the thread!🧵

Sorry for not posting much lately!! Been super busy with life stuff but I've been talking to my friends about TFR again and it gave me a bit of a kick, I'll post the renders I've gotten for Powerglide in the next hour or so, I think he was next on my list last I checked.

I've been really busy lately, but I now have a Discord up for TFR archiving!
I will keep posting art here and the other site first and foremost! I hate when archival stuff is locked behind Discords.

Soundwave Superior, Cancelled Games... inferior?
SOUNDWAVE! Here he is! This'll be a long thread, so please take a look at Rumble, Ravage and Laserbeak below. It's my pleasure to start with the render that was ON THE TOY BOX ART!

Okay, trying this again. Really sorry for the delay.
Contrary to what many think, Hot Rod was the first character made for TFR! Hot Rod is a great showing of how CA were finding their footing. Later he was redesigned to fit more with their new aesthetic goals.

I'm trying to upload the Hot Rod concept art but I think it might actually be too high resolution for Bluesky... oh...

BIG NEWS!! Megatron's model, alongside a lot of CA concept art and some other models were recently given to me! This is huge for preservation.
I've been cleared to release everything to the public, so I'm hoping I can soon! Just give it a bit of time, life has been very busy lately.

A lost piece of TFR history is that the Bee mold is a pre-tool for the Infused skin! The toy was modeled after the Infused model, and not the base skin!
I commissioned the lovely @mohawkdamofo.bsky.social to do a Digibash, showing what it might look like should the redeco ever release.

SURPRISE!! SUNSTREAKER!! I know he was very desired, and previously I couldn't post him- but thanks to a very nice insider I have his full art now.
He was never implemented into the game so that means I don't need to gather other assets so this was a lot easier to post.

Going to start by catching up to where I am on the other place. Bluesky will probably become more and more of the priority account as things progress. Enjoy!
These assets were extracted by me, I would give credit to the Certain Affinity artists but unfortunately I still don't know who did them.

Hi Bluesky! Transformers: Reactivate was my special interest for two years, now the game is cancelled and there's years worth of work for it that deserves to be seen.
I'm making a documentary to go through the saga of this game, but in the interim I'll be posting as much as I can here. Enjoy. :3
