We recently saw leaks for Bumblebee and Starscream, and now thanks to both TFW user Frosty Coffee and Facebook user Sonic Bomber-Core we have our first look at another figure for the upcoming Reactivate (previously known as Rise) video game, Optimus Prime!
The figure is shown off here in a gallery that displays his robot/truck modes, his accessories, some poses, plus a few size comparisons with other Primes and the Reactivate design we had seen before.
Sound off with your first impressions in the discussion thread and stay tuned for the official reveals and preorders on November 14.

Since the DNA Design kit for Gamer Edition Prime included a second axe, I gave it to Reactivate Prime. He looks killer with it!

It's just sitting in the gap between the legs, I wanna make a 3d printed part to hold it securely
Dinobot95
Is it securely pegged on or just resting on the back of the cab?

I got a great deal for the Reactivate Optimus Prime and Soundwave yesterday! And today is in my country with free shipping. That is a great job, Amazon!
I knew have to play the waiting game but wasn’t expecting a sale that soon to be honest.

I'm loathe to pay $60 for a head-swap. May have to see if Shapeways has anything…
(Wish I'd gotten the anniversary set from HasbroPulse, but I didn't have the cash at the time…)

That sounds like a plan! Perhaps the new Amazon Breakdown head could be used for that? Hope to see how this turns out

But th-
And the axe-
Great, now I can’t even form complete sentences to describe this guy. Why isn’t he official, and why hasn’t anyone else thought of this idea before now?
Mercurius
Nice. I was thinking of trying to mod him to be TFP's Breakdown. He's about the right height compared to Legacy Knockout in 'bot mode, though he's a pretty small SUV compared to Knockout's alt mode. Would have to do something with his shoulders and head, and probably do some heavy repainting.
Pun-3X
…I want that.
NextToNoMoney
Well… I can think of one more.

Another good minor retool option for Soundwave would be Orion Pax, new head and weapons, different colors, but otherwise leave as is.

"I Am Optimus Prime" Pelvic thrust…

Making Soundwave Roller is an interesting approach. I was contemplating making him into some 'Con police SWAT car. Really wish I could find a riot shield that would cover the roof the vehicle mode…

Took a little tweaking, but this guy is now pretty much all I wanted in a Prime. Toyhax stickers (still prefer clear windshield, even with the visible Matrix), Lego wedges on the shins for trailer attachment, CW Megatron's two-piece gun which separated and maneuvered can fit in the cab section in truck mode, coupled with the MP10V trailer (loaded with Kingdom Primal's swords, Reactivate ion cannon, Siege axe, PC17 ion cannon, Prime Megatronus spear, Enegon Starscream rifle, and Reactivate Soundwave with new head and Autobot sticker to be Roller, all of which affixed and stores in the trailer perfectly – including Roller). Oh yeah, and small rubber bands around the wrists so I can take off the side pieces and attach them to the outside of his hands for melee weapons.

It took me a bit of time to figure out how to create that iconic cracked window effect, but here it is

Ah, yeah, that's true. I'm conflicted on testing if I should just break the window, paint on a crack like the OG, or just get a sticker. I appreciate the kind words!
I haven't fully finished painting the vehicle mode just yet, but here's what it looks like so far!

But you forgot to shatter the glass.
looks amazing! Sincerely. Just incredible.

@Decagon It's been a few months, but I've managed to get my hands on a two-pack, and I've made a custom Shattered Glass Optimus Prime from Reactivate!

Funny thing is I feel the exact same way, it definitely is good, the apocalypse truck is awesome, and as a figure it ticks off all the boxes but at the end of the day it just leaves me sitting there thinking “that’s it?”.
