So! The Transformers x Fortnite crossover is far from over. Today on Fortnite's official website, Epic Games announced a Transformers Cosmetics pack with Bumblebee, Megatron, and the Fortnite Battle Bus as a Cybertronian (and 1000 V-Bucks).
The pack is planned to release in October, releasing as a physical pack for consoles on the 13th and on digital store fronts on the 21st. Check below the "keep reading" for a more in-depth look at all the items and my thoughts on each.
BUMBLEBEE!!
Bee comes with a door wing backpack and a stinger weapon seen in a lot of post Bay Bumblebee designs and has a taught related to the stinger. Personally I love this design. The head design is not perfect but the overall look is really nice. It feels like a mix of G1, Fall of Cybertron, and Prime Bee and I really like it. My main problem with the aligned continuity is the lack of consistency with the designs of the characters between the series. For example: War for Cybertron Soundwave vs Prime Soundwave...
But this Bee feels like a logical middle ground between the two series and that lets me finally sleep at night, if only for a few hours...
MEGATRON!!
Now this is just another modernized G1 Megatron and this one looks really good. He comes with a Decepticon insignia backpack, a purple, glowy Energon mace, and an emote with his Fusion Cannon. He does look cursed without the cannon but at least there's a way to get it. Overall a stellar design that I think looks good... at least I did until someone in a discord server I'm in told me he had thicc lips like WFC Trilogy Megs...
and finally
THE BATTLEBUS!!!
This is an original character that follows the design philosophy of Rise of the Beasts. They come with an original pickaxe and the balloon as a backpack... Not a glider which would have made more sense but I get why they did it like this. The design is amazing for what is essentially a glorified, officially licensed OC. The head design honestly makes me think of Cogman from the Last Knight which I don't mind.
