2023 is continuous to be a bizarre one as Epic revealed that the bus from its free-to-play battle royale super-hit Fortnite is definitely a Transformer.
For so long as individuals have been enjoying Fortnite, they’ve been driving (and generally leaping out of) its iconic, floating Battle Bus. By way of every replace, the bus stays. Generally it adjustments colours or will get new appears to be like, however the bus is all the time there, a relentless for all Fortnite gamers. Good or unhealthy, younger or previous. However now, after years of driving it, you (sure you) can be the battle bus because of a brand new crossover between Epic and people robots in disguise, Transformers.
On Thursday, Epic Video games and Hasbro revealed a brand new Transformers-themed beauty pack launching in Fortnite in October. This follows Optimus Prime’s inclusion within the sport’s newest season. And a part of the pack is a brand new Transformer: The Battle Bus. Sure, the bus from Fortnite is now a sentient alien robotic from one other world. Or, has it all the time been a Transformer? I imply, these robotic aliens are all about mixing into their environment by reworking into vehicles, planes, and so forth. Maybe the Battle Bus has all the time been a robotic in disguise and now that different Transformers are arriving within the sport, the Bus feels snug revealing themselves to the world.
This new Transformers character is (confusingly) not an official Transformers character
However wait, based on Epic’s announcement publish, the Battle Bus isn’t an “official Transformers character.” It additionally isn’t aligned with both the heroic Autobots or the evil Decepticons. It’s simply right here to “get in on the enjoyable too.” A battle between sentient robotic aliens isn’t enjoyable, you dumb Battle Bus. Have you ever seen any of the Transformers movies from Michael Bay? Are these enjoyable? No.
And no, I don’t know what occurred to the Battle Bus’ driver. Maybe his corpse is shoved inside this new Transformer, slowly rotting away. Have enjoyable youngsters!
Anyway, past the Bus, this pack can even include skins primarily based on Megatron and Bumblebee, with every character coming with further cosmetics like pickaxes and sprays. The total pack additionally consists of 1,000 Fortnite V Bucks, which interprets to $8 USD in actual human cash.
The brand new Fortnite Transformers pack can be accessible on all platforms and is launching in shops on October 13 through bodily playing cards and digitally on October 21. It should value $25.
