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 only does it seem they will indeed be coming, but their estimated release date is for October 1st of this year.
In addition to the Optimus Prime/Soundwave pack, we now also have info for a Starscream/Bumblebee pack as well:
“Tra Shine 1 Voy Optimus Prime & Dlx Soundwave
Product Number: F0384
EAN: 5010994148447
Estimated Release Date: October 1st, 2023
3 Per case
Tra Shine 2 Voy Starscream & Dlx Bumblebee
Product Number: F0383
EAN: 5010994148591
Estimated Release October 1st, 2023
3 Per Case”
We recommend taking this as a rumor until we receive official confirmation, but for now you can let us know what you’re hoping to see out of this line on the boards!

looking forward to it!

This is definitely new wording from what we have seen in the past. They never listed in the past what was part of the toy. Such as the Matrix of Leadership, Ion Blaster for Prime and Vibration Blaster for Soundwave. None of these descriptions existed before. Even small details about the story that we already know are now on the descriptions. Very interesting find!
Shin Densetsu
That’s true and what they do get is sporadic. That said, it would make sense for them to sell these sets 1st.

Sorry I meant to say Reactivate. I know that Rise isn't it's name anymore. Had a long day yesterday so I wasn't thinking straight. Though like you said having the game be radio silence since the reveal also didn't help. Either way having it be revealed again this weekend at the NYCC would be a good time especially with how the toy listings seem to imply something.

Rise got revealed last year at the Game Awards under the new name of Reactivate, though I wouldn't blame you for not realising because it's been radio silence since the trailer.

Shine Starscream is an F-22, right?

I wonder if this allocation is bound for Gamestop? It seems like a good fit for them, they've received a lot of items first, and they never have a huge quantity of stock at any one store.
Jtprime17
This is just one shipment, probably a pallet worth for a single P.O. Everything for a production run just doesn’t show up all at once.

225 cases x 3 per case = 675 sets each, or around 13 sets per state…
Is that right? Please tell me that’s not right lol

With the NYCC coming this week I'm thinking that we'll see the official reveal of Rise and the figures promoting it if the listings are any indication.

The only thing I ask… is that Hasbro not leave them exclusive to target or other stores because we know that you had leaked for SS that lifeline will have a figure but the rest is unknown, I hope the Reactive line is normal retail rather than exclusive… .

Is the release date for 2023 or 2024

675 pieces each, or 3 per case.
Nem
If I remember correctly, I think it was 3 per case?

Man, I really love Marketing synergy and it really irks me when companies fail to utilize it.
I was right about prediciting Animated Bee and Prime would be shown before Pulsecon via some video game website, lets see if I can go 2-2
EDIT: Hey @Jtprime17 if you don’t mind me asking, how many are in a case? Cause I work in distribution and… 225 cases is not a lot. I sometimes touch around 400 cases a day, but for me those are usually two units. 450 of each is concerning.
TF Hot Rod
That’s kind of what I’m expecting, trailer drop then week or day of these get revealed. Because that’s marketing wise the best way to do it like they did for ROTB.
Totally possible and would make sense.
