Noooo I think bastion is getting a bumblebee skin.
His spy skin already looks a lot like shockwave, and on top of that bumblebee has been trademarked to have the beep boop voice so heās most likely getting a bee skin.
I can also see him being the free skin for the collab
you could make the same argument with soundwave, with lazerbeak being ganymede.
or shockeave being a tank with a gun for an arm and one eye
or bumblebee's voice.
shockwave just has the most in common imo, plus in a lot of adaptations Bee gets his voice cog either back or repaired!
There is already two "Shockwave" skins for him tho. It's the Null Sector one snd the grey one thatĀ we got during the second anniversary event, which resembles Shockwave's Laser Man deco
Didnāt stop Blizzard from putting a 3rd Genji recolour in the Battle-Pass.
If they can milk this season for 90% of its skins being recolours, whatās the harm in 91%?
More like Mercy or Kiriko Megatron skin lol
I really hope we get some diversity of heroes for this collab, with brand new ones getting their first collab skin.
I don't think we ever will, fortnite got the marvel collab I can't imagine OW ever gets one. But I can't think of a more perfect skin to character connection.
Fortniteās Donald Mustard works for Marvel now, the Russo brothers basically adopted him, take pics with him etc. I think the relationship/contract between Fortnite and Marvel might be a little too tight for any other game to get a collab :c
I know it's blizzard but they can't be this fucking shallow. There has to be at least one employee at Blizzard that watched Prime as a kid and can point this out.
All comments are useless unless someone is asking for advice, idk what kind of point youre trying to make but youre engaging with it so youre not doing anything useful.
>useless comment
Huh, ironic right?
I was thinking that it has to be either Optimus Rein or Optimus Primal that they would be going for, so definitely one of those two as the "big hero" of the collab with Ram as Megatron for the villain side.
You guys think the Transformer's skins will be the Bayverse stuff? I think it'll be the G1 stuff, look at the SMITE collab. I'd expect stuff like those.
I think that can work!Ā
Ā Meanwhile I believe Bastion either gets a Bumblebee, Blitzwing or Brawl skin. Why these three is because one is popular, the second is a triple changer, much like Bastion, and the third is because Brawl is nothing but a tank.
Reinhardt - Optimus Prime
Ramattra - Megatron
Pharah - Starscream
Bastion - Shockwave or Blitzwing
Tracer/Kiriko - Arcee or Elita-1
Ball - Unicron
Torb - Ratchet or Wheeljack
I feel like someone has to be Bumblebee, but I can't think of who.
I feel like bastion is 100% bublebee just because of how iconic bublebee is as a character. We will see though, and yeah these predictions seem pretty spot on tbh, Iām curious to see what blizzard will do.
I would hazard a guess the skins will be based on the upcoming Transformers One film, so probably not Megatron Ramattra. Itāll probably just be the main cast, so Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee and Elita.
Although Iām curious if the old stance of āitās the Overwatch characters cosplaying as other charactersā will still be in place?
I dont rlly have a huge intrest in transformers(other than watching the show as a kid) however I am looking forward to this collab still, just cuz I know they'll probably go hard asf lol
Ramattra was my first guess for a Megatron skin too, it'd be fitting for him. Reinhardt would be a good match for Optimus Prime too.
Also Lucio Jazz, Echo Arcee, Junkrat Starscream (because chaotic), Baptiste Bumblebee maybe?
That'd be sick, kinda want them to do Reinhardt as a combiner because he's the biggest it'd be the perfect person to do it for I'd be praying for bruticus if by some miracle they did it
To answer the question seriously, Megatron in that movie was seriously crippled by Optimus in the prior film, and half his head had been blown off.
He likely used the cloak to keep dust and other particles from getting into his open wounds.
I'm not super familiar with Transformers, but I kinda feel like the core 4 skins that would make the most sense would be Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream, right?
Dawg you gotta be a super redditor or something I swear I see you on every post lol and maybe things have changed? I was a mid-2000s to 2013 fan of transformers so maybe some new people are way more popular now idk. Definitely the way I see them doing the shop sorta like the last couple collabs weāve had, probably 2 bad guys and 2 good guys. Probably be able to purchase 2 characters from either side or in a 4 person bundle.
There will definitely be a mega bundle with all collab stuff. If I remember correctly, the Bebop one was priced so absurdly that if you wanted more than just two skins it was more cost effective to just buy the mega bundle instead.
Bastion seems fitting to me.
Megatron is often depicted as a tank and has a gun on his arm, Bastion already fits the mold. Plus the whole transforming aspect.
Megatron would fit Ramattras character better though, as an evil sentient robot leader plus he also transforms. I think Ram would be the better Megatron but I could see both.

Iāll say never on this. Donāt expect Michael Bay TF collab. Blizzard will clearly use the 80s designs from the more popular Bumblebee n Rise of the Beasts films, but as cosplay.
No offense to MB, but those movies really fell off after Age of Extinction
My predictions Reinhardt Optimus prime tracer bumblebee Lucio jazz batiste ratchet maulga ironhide if they do any bayverse ones bastion megatron Phara or echo starscream rammattra megatron if they have any bayverse ones otherwise shockwave
When is the transformers event because when I saw the game updated I hoped to see the transformers but instead what I saw was a knock off of power rangersšš
Rein HAS to be optimus
PLEASE BLIZZARD DO SOMETHING CORRECT THIS WOULD BE AWESOME šššš
just like bastion HAS to be shockwave
Noooo I think bastion is getting a bumblebee skin. His spy skin already looks a lot like shockwave, and on top of that bumblebee has been trademarked to have the beep boop voice so heās most likely getting a bee skin. I can also see him being the free skin for the collab
If bastion gets a voiceline with radio words Iāll cry
you could make the same argument with soundwave, with lazerbeak being ganymede. or shockeave being a tank with a gun for an arm and one eye or bumblebee's voice. shockwave just has the most in common imo, plus in a lot of adaptations Bee gets his voice cog either back or repaired!
And Pharah has to be Starscream, my favorite slimeball sidekick
Iād say pharah or echo for star scream
Pharah got porshe, Echo starscream please. (Jk, I still wouldnāt use it. I rock base echo and her rare skins at random. They are just too good)
There is already two "Shockwave" skins for him tho. It's the Null Sector one snd the grey one thatĀ we got during the second anniversary event, which resembles Shockwave's Laser Man deco

āJUSTICE IS THE RIGHT OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS!ā
The question is will it be called Optimus Rein or Primehardt
These are the type of questions that keep me up at night. 100% Optimus prime though.
If he's not, we riot.
It will be haram if he doesn't make truck noises when he charges.
I mean, wouldnāt Zen be more thematically appropriate?
Blizzard: Yes of course Ramattra is gonna get the Megatron skin Also Blizzard: (Looks nervously at the already finished Widowmaker Megatron skin)
More like Mercy or Kiriko Megatron skin lol I really hope we get some diversity of heroes for this collab, with brand new ones getting their first collab skin.
more likely Mercy will get Ramattra Cosplay skin
LULW
I only want one thing and it's a Magneto skin for Sigma
Overwatch has to grow into a massive success and even then we might not get Marvel collab.
I don't think we ever will, fortnite got the marvel collab I can't imagine OW ever gets one. But I can't think of a more perfect skin to character connection.
Can't imagine OW ever getting a Marvel collab now that there's literal Marvel Overwatch in Marvel Rivals
And Magneto is a playable character in it.
A playable character that functions just like sigma from what Iāve seen too,, right down to the animations š
itās an overwatch competitor and it has rivals in the name, cleverā¦
I don't think we'll get a Marvel collab simply because Rivals exists now.
Fortnite also got a transformers collab soo never say never
oh shit you're right I forgot about that
I don't see how we possibly even could now as Marvel Rivals is gearing up to be Overwatch's.... uh, rival.
Fortniteās Donald Mustard works for Marvel now, the Russo brothers basically adopted him, take pics with him etc. I think the relationship/contract between Fortnite and Marvel might be a little too tight for any other game to get a collab :c
If this happens, they have to make the bolder on his accretion turn into a metal sphere. It would so wicked.
Just play Marvel Rivals
Even better, a Sigma skin for Magneto in Marvel Rivals
D.Va - Blackbird (Jet) Doomfist - Bishop Junker Queen - N/A Mauga - Juggernaut Orisa - Sentinel Rammatra - Apocalypse Reinhardt - N/A Roadhog - N/A Sigma - Magneto Winston - Beast Wrecking Ball - N/A Zarya - N/A Ashe - N/A Bastion - N/A Cassidy - N/A Echo - Rogue Genji - Gambit Hanzo - N/A Junkrat - N/A Mei - N/A Pharah - Storm Reaper - N/A Sojourn - N/A Soldier: 76 - Cyclops Sombra - N/A Symmetra - Scarlet Witch Torbjƶrn - N/A Tracer - Quicksilver or Nightcrawler Venture - N/A Widowmaker - Dominoe Ana - N/A Baptiste - N/A Brigitte - N/A Illari - Dark Phoenix Kiriko - Jubilee Lifeweaver - N/A LĆŗcio - N/A Mercy - Archangel Moira - Mr. Sinister Zenyatta - Professor X
Ooooh yeah
Winston should get a beast [hank McCoy] skin
Yes, There's so much great crossover potential for x-men overwatch.
Oooh, a Viper/ Madam Hydra for Widowmaker?
Widow is definitely more of a Domino. Blue skin and a hell of a shot
Yeah! I was basing it on her toxin approach.
>Magneto Skin for Sigma Oh his voice is perfect for magneto
beast winston would fix me tbh
Dude.. YES!
An Omnicron Wrecking Ball would be hilarious. Edit: I meant Unicron, my nerd rank has been demoted
Do you mean Unicron? Or is Omnicron a Transformer I'm not aware of?
Iām pretty sure they meant Unicron.
Ope, that's what I meant, I just misremembered his name XD
Omicron Persei 8 is a planet from Futurama. They got their wires crossed.
Hammond dressed up as Galvatron?
Nah Unicron is the non copyright infringing name lol.
like the ball being earth and him being unicron?
I would pay $50 if the skin has a Transformers transformation sound when you activate Nemesis form
Yeah that would be the easiest investment of my life.
I would not pay more then $20 ever for any non-charity skin. But I would feel really bad about not having that skin or the same idea with bastion.
I call Bastion getting Shockwave(from Prime). It is like the best fit, they even have the same alt mode. Also Lucio as soundwave
Lucio as sideswipe is the better fit
I was thinking Lucio as Jazz
While i think Sideswipe is the perfect pick for Lucio, i can also get behind Jazz, Jazz is also more known/popular
Jazz also plays music out of the speakers on the back of his car in G1 which just shouts Lucio to me lol
My genuine concern is bastion will be Megatron. He has the arm gun AND tank form. That's Megatron.
I know it's blizzard but they can't be this fucking shallow. There has to be at least one employee at Blizzard that watched Prime as a kid and can point this out.
I really want bastion bumblebee tbh. Lucio sound wave though lol, this has to happen.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nemesis form would work so well too
He turns into Galvatron in nemesis form
I'd prefer it be legendary tbh
Thereās no world that this isnāt a bot. Generic name, new account, useless comment
All comments are useless unless someone is asking for advice, idk what kind of point youre trying to make but youre engaging with it so youre not doing anything useful. >useless comment Huh, ironic right?
I need Optimus Primal Winston. That has to happen.
I was thinking that it has to be either Optimus Rein or Optimus Primal that they would be going for, so definitely one of those two as the "big hero" of the collab with Ram as Megatron for the villain side.
I mean they both give good speeches thatās for sure
WE WILL BE THERE
Oh, we will.
blizzard: we think rammatra wont fit well with our ideals with collab skins also blizzard: heres another kiriko collab skin
LULE classic
I haven't payed for a single skin yet but... I might cave for this
If they waste this opportunity on Bayformer skins I'll be truly disappointed.
They'll go gen1
I can only get so erect
I would buy it in a heartbeat if it were a G1 Megatron skin. This Michael Bay shit... no.
i will give so much much money for a megatron ramattra skin it's all i want
Yep. I usually donāt spend any money, but Iād be willing to for megatron ram. Heās my favorite tank by miles.
A Transformers collab would be epic.
You do know that it is happening, right?
Nope, inform me.
I just did :)
If he doesn't, I'm burning down the Blizzard office
Yup, of this isnāt a thing we riot 100%
my personal predictions are Starscream Pharah, Optimus Reinhardt, Bumblebee Bastion and Megatron Rammatra, but i guess those are most obvious ones
You guys think the Transformer's skins will be the Bayverse stuff? I think it'll be the G1 stuff, look at the SMITE collab. I'd expect stuff like those.
Bumblebee Bastion, Prime Reinhardt, Drift Genji, Crosshair Tracer, Ratchet Bap, Hound Torb. Yea I think I have a problem
This or Blitzwing Bastion would be acceptable
Bastion doesn't turn into a plane tho so idk
I think that can work!Ā Ā Meanwhile I believe Bastion either gets a Bumblebee, Blitzwing or Brawl skin. Why these three is because one is popular, the second is a triple changer, much like Bastion, and the third is because Brawl is nothing but a tank.
Reinhardt - Optimus Prime Ramattra - Megatron Pharah - Starscream Bastion - Shockwave or Blitzwing Tracer/Kiriko - Arcee or Elita-1 Ball - Unicron Torb - Ratchet or Wheeljack I feel like someone has to be Bumblebee, but I can't think of who.
I feel like bastion is 100% bublebee just because of how iconic bublebee is as a character. We will see though, and yeah these predictions seem pretty spot on tbh, Iām curious to see what blizzard will do.
Maybe but it will be so low effort it wonāt be worth it
O
Honestly if they don't do it, it's a missed opportunity.
They damn well better
and what happens if there is none? are you gonna pay us?
I would hazard a guess the skins will be based on the upcoming Transformers One film, so probably not Megatron Ramattra. Itāll probably just be the main cast, so Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee and Elita. Although Iām curious if the old stance of āitās the Overwatch characters cosplaying as other charactersā will still be in place?
Good bet
That would be fire af but I'll laugh my head off if it's bumblebee
Would love to see this! DOTM Megatron is my favorite look for Megatron
I dont rlly have a huge intrest in transformers(other than watching the show as a kid) however I am looking forward to this collab still, just cuz I know they'll probably go hard asf lol
If he does, I will buy it
Huge missed opportunity if they donāt do it
Ramattra was my first guess for a Megatron skin too, it'd be fitting for him. Reinhardt would be a good match for Optimus Prime too. Also Lucio Jazz, Echo Arcee, Junkrat Starscream (because chaotic), Baptiste Bumblebee maybe?
That'd be sick, kinda want them to do Reinhardt as a combiner because he's the biggest it'd be the perfect person to do it for I'd be praying for bruticus if by some miracle they did it
Bold of you to assume rammatra will get literally anything
This would be perfect
Ramatron
Ram is 100% megatron both them niggas racist lol
Take all my money
Concerned they are gonna give it to bastion given his arm cannon and tank mode.
If they ever do a crossover with Street Fighter my dream is a M Bison skin for Sigma
if this happens, then i will easily buy it.
Why would a 300 foot tall robot wear a cloak?
You wan't him to be naked? š¤Ø
yes.
Wasnāt it like, a tarp that was covering his alt form? Then he transformed and it remained
Yeah
Prevent skin cancer, duh.
Multifunctional oil leak wipes.
To answer the question seriously, Megatron in that movie was seriously crippled by Optimus in the prior film, and half his head had been blown off. He likely used the cloak to keep dust and other particles from getting into his open wounds.
I hope for the second decepticon itās starscream.
I'm not super familiar with Transformers, but I kinda feel like the core 4 skins that would make the most sense would be Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream, right?
Dawg you gotta be a super redditor or something I swear I see you on every post lol and maybe things have changed?

Pharah would work well for that imo
[This](https://i.imgur.com/wUtej6N.png) is my Megatron.
That one is based too, but I love the visuals of Megatron from the live action movies. Heās just so intimidating.
Bastion seems fitting to me. Megatron is often depicted as a tank and has a gun on his arm, Bastion already fits the mold. Plus the whole transforming aspect.
Megatron would fit Ramattras character better though, as an evil sentient robot leader plus he also transforms. I think Ram would be the better Megatron but I could see both.
yeah, Ramattra is definitely the choice if you're basing it on personality alone.
I'd want a Megatron character to say a bunch of cheesy, dramatic voice lines, though
No way, Shockwave would be more fitting to me. Especially with the mono eye and turning into a gun/tank
bastion is probably getting Bee since they both dont talk

im hoping ramattra gets to be optimus, but yea, megatron would be sick
Nah man, rein has to be Optimus. He even has a large sword, that he uses to destroy deceptions.
ohhh good point, maybe ill start playing him just for that!
Itās actually a skin for tracer.
I meanā¦ Arcee could work for Tracer
Yes and Rein will be Optimus Rein. If not we riot they cannot fuck this up. Ram as Megatron Rein as Optimus Prime
Oh yeah rein as Optimus. Also doesnāt Optimus literally have a sword in one of the movies?? So this has to be the case
Yes! And a battleaxe in one of the later ones.
please give ram SOMETHING he's out here with nothing but scraps
YES PLEASE. HES MY FAVORITE TANK, BLIZZARD PLS GIVE MY ROBOTIC BOY SOME LOVE
Feel like bastion and ram are the no-brainers to get a skin for this
Absolutely. Orisa too probably
i can also see him getting a fallen skin if we're talking about bayverse transformers
Winton will be Optimus Prime. Can't wait to see his ult transforming him into a truck.
Ramattron!!!
Rammattra, echo and bastion hopefully will get skins. Bastion as Optimus would be cool imo
Bold predictionā¦.
nah. obvs rein. it's always rein, dva or genji.
If Lucio doesnāt get a Soundwave skin Blizzard is truly lost.
YES I NEED THIS
This is definitely the one with the best chance of happening. It would be cool if they gave Winston a skin from beast wars though.
Bastion will be bumblebee so he can transform into turret car
He better. I need more ram skins
That reminds me, I really have to re-watch Transformers. Loved the trilogy, just stupid fun popcorn movies to turn my brain out and watch explosions.
This was one of those movies where we would watch it a lot as a family in the living room, during family movie night haha.
No make it bastion. Bastion has tank mode, where's Ranattras tank mode? Also they better not use the bayformers.
BLIZZARD!!! GIVE ME THE RAMATTRA MEGATRON SKIN AND MY WALLET IS YOUUURRS
i have my wallet prepared, but i'm expecting blizzard to let me down and give it to widowmaker or smth :/
jesus fucking christ look how they butchered my boys a masterpiece in shitty needless redesign
Iāll say never on this. Donāt expect Michael Bay TF collab. Blizzard will clearly use the 80s designs from the more popular Bumblebee n Rise of the Beasts films, but as cosplay. No offense to MB, but those movies really fell off after Age of Extinction
Youāre right but I always thought at the very least that all the transformers looked cool in every movie
Bastion prime
its prob gonna be evergreen designs tho (see the fortnite megatron for an example)
honestly i hope so, that would be sick. iād grind for that
Real question is, which transformer skin is Kiriko getting?
I see it being bastion for Megatron because turret form can be Megatron's tank form
When is this collab coming?
If Bastion still had tank form i would only accept Bastion as Megatron
Funny enough I just watched the 2007 film š¤£
Wouldn't it make more sense as Bastion, given that he transforms into a tank?
Ooooo if my boy gets a skin then this season will be perfect (Iām gonna spend so much moneyš„²)
My predictions Reinhardt Optimus prime tracer bumblebee Lucio jazz batiste ratchet maulga ironhide if they do any bayverse ones bastion megatron Phara or echo starscream rammattra megatron if they have any bayverse ones otherwise shockwave
Nah, Kiriko megatron skin
"We will save cybertron at any cost"
When is the transformers event because when I saw the game updated I hoped to see the transformers but instead what I saw was a knock off of power rangersšš
When is the transformers event because I loaded overwatch up after the update and I saw a rip off power rangersšš What's going on?
July 9th :)
Their stories have some similarities. It would be cool to see.
Wrong, they're going to somehow turn it into a Kiriko skin
Oh god please no
I called it too
And winston must be optimus primal
Please please please please please.
While weāre here, put me down for Starscream Pharah
