Transformers Reactivate Toys Update From Hasbro

Wow, can't believe I didn't see these leaks until now. The Bumblebee figure looks better than the cancept art lol and the figure aesthetically looks like one of the hero masher figures   a little disappointed. Thr alt mode looks cool though! And the Optimus that's now leaked looks incredible!

The dates been said before but now we have the EE hint. I find it very odd how its still doing the "Rise & Shine" joke when from what I've been hearing the packaging is getting changed. If the toys are already in port then its not like they could've changed the packaging within the last two weeks. Who knows, I guess.

It sounds more like the package change was probably awhile ago and they’ve just been stuck with these stock photos for a long time

Dude I have no idea who u are and I haven’t been following this thread , literally replying only to the comment I quoted

To clarify: forums are full of crazy posts, lol, I come up with lots of concepts and thoughts that I consider rather bizarre takes, like my headcanon characterization of Optimus is essentially as dad Abraham Lincoln with suppressed PTSD crushed by the weight of his image. I don’t always share these concepts on the forum, Bc my spouse and I discuss these things and that fills my itch for it.

I just kinda sit here and scroll through with my metaphorical popcorn to see what people’s thoughts and opinions are, not because I like to mock them, although I do think some people take some things way too seriously in a way that cannot be good for their mental health, I just like to see what people’s opinions, theories, and predictions are, and in cases where I have more to say than simply agreeing with or enjoying a post (in which case I use the like buttons), I will reply with my own thoughts or comments. Many of my comments are lighthearted because I take this hobby very lightheartedly even though Transformers is something I’m very deeply passionate about. There was a time where I took it much more seriously and personally and it was not good for my well being.

the root of my post was genuinely just a comedic “man, I think I say some out there stuff but I’m still not the most weird or esoteric person out there by far” and I’m truly deeply sorry if you felt it was directed at you or anyone in particular

Thanks for the clarification and apologies to you as well if my assumption was incorrect (as you were replying to a reply to my 'blue eyes topic' I presumed as much, sorry if that was not the case)  
By all means! I say let's keep all those 'esoteric' ideas coming   (as G1-fan, not sure if it gets more esoteric than a Starscream with blue eyes… but apart from that this new figure is quite nice, actually  )

Having just finished watching Beast Wars II, I keep getting fooled by the headline, and thinking we are getting these guys:

I would love to get them after finishing II

Has that been confirmed? Or like, we know but do we KNOW you know what I mean?

Regardless we only have 5 reactivate figures we know of, so I wouldn't be surprised if quintessons were released closer to launch day. 2025 most likely

I remember an Amazon listing mentioning them, along with Legion does sound like a alternate name for Quintessons before they discover either that they are Quints or that that’s their name.

Am I the only befuddled by how much people seem to be caught up on Starscream having blue eyes? Like that's the hang up?

It isn’t the first time it’s happened either..

Starscream, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Optimus Prime and who else?

First of all, apologies guys if my post was taken out of context. I know my 'G1-only' niche is not for everyone, so I was just trying to 'satirise' it on purpose, as a joke, with the 'blue eyes issue for Starscream' thing. I was not trying to open a new can of worms in this thread. I'll try to close it  

Not at all my friend. Eyes are something so expressive and so 'personal', the blue color just makes him look like a… completely different Starscream (definitely not G1 vibes). Not a bad thing at all (for most). It is probably, as some have already said.. more 'shocking' than other changes. Especially with the classical 'blue = good/Autobot, and red = evil/Decepticon  

Excellent point. That's quite an interesting theory! I assumed as much with the 'dark parts' all over the place, but it could well explain the blue eyes as well. Very interesting indeed…

I'm assuming my post, being the last 'opinionated?' post about this, triggered yours.

Not surprised, but definitely disappointed about your message.

Truth be told. I have enough of the 'you're crazy, you're insane, you're smoking something…' when I dare to share with other 'outside fandom' people in my life the fact that I am an adult that likes Transformers and collects toys. Always discouraging to see this in fellow fans…
I must admit I do frequently hesitate to post in the forums in fear of this kind of response, but I do try to tell myself most people try to at least be respectful.

– If your comment is because the reaction appears as 'crazy': As mentioned, instead of a simple 'blue eyes don´t make sense to me', I tried to make fun of my own 'collecting habits' by exaggerating on purpose the situation. I've edited my post to include the 'blue = joke' colour. Apologies for the confusion.

– if the comment is because you just don't agree with people having different opinions that don´t match yours, then well… maybe the problem is not with 'half the people' in the site. Food for thought!

Many people are very passionate about this hobby, the franchise, and certain aspects of it (we all have our favourite bits that would like to remain the same or see more of) including myself! I can understand sometimes the posts might look 'too much'. Moderation is a virtue, I guess? 

Excellent point. You're probably right there!   (and thanks for keeping the smiles going  )
