Blizzard and Hasbro recently announced an exciting collaboration for Overwatch 2, featuring Transformers skins based on popular characters from the iconic mecha toy franchise. In a newly released animated trailer on the Overwatch YouTube channel, fans got a glimpse of the skins assigned to four characters: Reinhardt, Bastion, Illari, and Ramratta.
Reinhardt will be sporting an Optimus Prime-inspired look, while Bastion transforms into the lovable Bumblebee. Illari will be donning a pink Arcee skin, and Ramratta will embody the menacing Megatron from the Decepticons. The trailer showcased these new skins and left players eagerly anticipating how they will integrate into the game’s mechanics during gameplay.
This Transformers crossover follows Overwatch 2’s previous collaborations, such as the partnership with Porsche and the Cowboy Bebop themed skins. Players had the opportunity to outfit D.Va and Pharah in sleek Porsche-inspired skins, while also enjoying the Cowboy Bebop crossover with Cassidy and Ashe taking on iconic anime character designs.
The Overwatch 2 x Transformers collaboration is set to launch tomorrow, bringing these exciting skins to the game. While Blizzard has not disclosed the pricing details for the Transformers skins, past collaborations have come with a price tag. Players may need to be prepared to make an investment to acquire their favorite Transformers-inspired skin.
This crossover event is likely to resonate with fans who grew up playing with Transformers action figures and watching the animated series. The nostalgic appeal of these iconic characters joining the world of Overwatch is sure to draw in both veteran players and newcomers alike.
As Overwatch continues to expand its universe through these creative collaborations, fans can look forward to more exciting partnerships and unique skins in the future. Stay tuned for more updates on Overwatch 2 and the transformative world of possibilities that lie ahead.
