Leaked gameplay footage of the canceled Transformers: Reactivate has re-emerged online. The co-op title, announced in 2022 by Splash Damage in collaboration with Hasbro, was to feature Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons uniting against an alien threat. Despite limited public reveals, leaks and related merchandise surfaced. Following the game's cancellation, footage from a 2020 build has resurfaced, showcasing Bumblebee's combat and vehicle transformations in a ruined city, battling an alien force known as "the Legion." The gameplay bears resemblance to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. While unfinished, the leaked footage displays polished visuals, environmental destruction, and a glimpse of an incomplete cutscene. Although the game will not be released, the leaks offer a look at Splash Damage's vision for the multiplayer title.

An unfinished, silent cutscene shows Bumblebee emerging from a portal in New York City, communicating with an ally named Devin about the Legion's attacks. Numerous other leaks dating back to 2020, predating the official announcement and cancellation, further illustrate the project's development. While unplayable, the leaks provide insight into Splash Damage's ambitious, yet ultimately unsuccessful, Transformers project.
