Fortnite’s Transformers collab finally lets you be the Battle Bus

After years of driving the Battle Bus and thanking the driver, Fortnite players are coming soon are the battle bus, thanks to the game’s ongoing crossover with Transformers. The Fortnite Battle Bus bot is coming to Epic’s battle royale game this October, alongside the real life Transformers Bumblebee and Megatron.

The Fortnite Battle Bus isn’t a true Transformer itself – it doesn’t have an Autobot or Decepticon badge – but some of the best Transformers money can buy aren’t official anyway. The robot in disguise looks pretty cool considering it’s a blue school bus, and retains some of its Battle Bus visual trademarks in two-legged form.

In addition to the Fortnite Battle Bus outfit, there are two other cosmetics, a back bling based on the hot air balloon that keeps the bus afloat and the “Pick Axle” pickaxe.

Back in Chapter 3 Season 2 of Fortnite, players were given the chance to pilot the Battle Bus on land. But getting the chance to fully embody the Battle Bus (and hit the Griddy as an off-brand Transformer that looks like the Battle Bus) takes Fortnite to a whole new meta level.

The Fortnite BattleBus cosmetics will be included as part of the Fortnite Transformers pack, releasing physically on October 13 and digitally on October 21. The pack includes three outfits (BattleBus, Bumblebee, and Megatron), back blings and emotes for each character, two new emotes, and 1,000 V-Bucks. It costs $24.99.

Here’s a look at Bumblebee and Megatron. (Optimus Prime is already available in Fortnite.)
