The big car lads have made their way into games a fair bit over the years, from the not-bad War For Cybertron series to PlatinumGames’ homage to the Eighties cartoons, Transformers: Devastation. Thing is, I find the better games stick to the classic version of what Transformers is, rather than the melty looking live-action movie ones. I hope Transformers: Reactivate features the former, although it mostly concentrates on a band of humans in the trailer. Humans aren’t all that great, they don’t turn into trucks very often.

Transformers: Reactivate hasn’t set a release date yet, but has a closed beta planned for 2023. While you’re waiting for Autobots and Decepticons to reveal themselves, you could always transform and roll out to check more of our coverage ofThe Game Awards.
