Players will get to battle as iconic and infamous robots Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Starscream as top-of-the-line god skins available with the TRANSFORMERS Battle Pass. In-game, Optimus Prime converts into a truck, Megatron into a tank and Starscream into a jet. Each TRANSFORMERS character will have two forms: one in the SMITE art style, the other a rendering inspired by the TRANSFORMERS Generations toys, TV show and movie from the 80s, taking fans back in time.
After purchase, players will progress through the TRANSFORMERS Battle Pass and unlock its rewards simply by playing online SMITE matches. In addition to the six TRANSFORMERS skins, fans will get dozens of thematic items designed jointly with Hasbro such as a ward skin depicting Kremzeek, a loading frame pitting Autobots against Decepticons, and Level-up effects coming straight from Cybertron.
“There’s something magical about having Optimus Prime save the day on the Battleground of the Gods,” said Alex Cantatore, Hi-Rez VP of Brand. “We’ve always said that SMITE is the ultimate crossover game, bringing all the world’s myths together. Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Starscream just take that to another level.”
“More than a few Titan Forge Games employees have their desks covered in the G1 TRANSFORMERS toys, ” said Travis Brown, Executive Producer of SMITE. “It was really a labor of love to bring the TRANSFORMERS robots to life in SMITE, and the team really went above and beyond – they’ve created all-new models, rigging, animations, and effects to really bring the TRANSFORMERS robots into the Battleground of the Gods.”
