Overwatch's Transformer Skins Explained 

Missed opportunity for rein to say autobots roll out as he charges

0:51 The iconic jump is from the G1 movie, not the Bay movie

I’m kinda surprised they didn’t go for the more obvious TF quotes like “One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall” or “Such Heroic Nonsense”, but I appreciate the deep cuts.

Bastion makes the iconic transformation sound when turning into a turret but it’s heavily masked by this voice filter he has.

As a huge Transformers fan who hasn’t played OW since before OW2, I am severely tempted by this.

0:45 actually it’s a nod to the transformers G1 movie from 86 where optimus does his iconic leap with his blaster when fighting the decepticons, what is mimic with reins hammer since rein doesn’t have a gun

The Optimus prime leap is actually a reference to the first transformers movie where he leaps into battle kills some decepticons and fights megatron just to get killed by him with a random blaster

My only problem is the price.

Thank you for this video! This is by far the best showcase of all the sfx I've come across

No, one shall one shall fall line 😢

I wouldn’t say any of the voice lines are iconic quotes. Good to know they actually are quotes. But they definitely aren’t iconic ones. They are kinda more generic quotes that they picked so that even if you aren’t using a transformers skin they still make sense for the character. And as for Rein, a “Roll out” when charging with Optimus skin could have been neat. Or something cool when doing the ult

Small detail NOBODY I see mentions. Ramatra’s weapon has G1 Megatron’s chest panel thing

my highlight for this update was with Optimus rein where after I killed three or four people in quick succession one game he said “I’ll take you all on”. Don’t know if this is a past voice line for rein but it was sick for me nonetheless

Rein’s charge gets a subtle truck engine sound effect

the fact they did not make reinhardt says ' till all are one ' is criminal

After a long month he finally came back 💔

Rammatra transformation in his transformers highlight intro sounds like megatron transforming in the fall/war for cybertrongames

Thank you so much for the references and the side by side comparisons with highlight intros and whatnot. It's so cool to see. Love seeing these sorts of videos so much!

They rly messed up the ramattra skin where instead of fist it could have been the barrels of his cannon. I swear bastion was the only skin they got right

Knight Prime Rein would've made me happy. I saw fan concepts of Jazz Lucio and Shockwave Sigma, they definitely could have done a lot more. They 100 % cut alot of corners. Bastion just looks bad, no radio voice lines and the beeps are fucking wierd. He sounds like a broken wind chime from Soundwave's balcony Arcee would've made more sense on Tracer. Blizzard giving you only 11 days to decide if you want to buy these skins is a real dick move especially for the price.

Echo where ;;

my only disappointments are: - no transform sfx when rein charges - why did they use the hammer when they could have used Optimus' axe? - Ram's primary could have been re-shaped to look like a blaster maybe? - illari doesn't blast Linkin Park at full volume when ulting

0:00 missed opportunity, should’ve used the jump from the first Transformers movie that came out in 1986.

Im still losing it over the lack of Starscream as a skin

I wonder who bastions bird is supposed to represent?????

Didn't even use the right god damn jump.

I wonder if rams orb is a refrince

Something tells me that the collab was rushed or was wasted by some choices, even a Dev mentioned that 3 other skinds where scrapped (Pharah as Starscream, Lucio as Soundwave & Wrecking Ball as Unicron)

Only thing I'd add is truck noises to Rein's charge. If Conductor can do train noises, why can't alien truck man?

Prime is the best and it still lacks details

The only issues I have are how we didn’t get a Decepticon healer or damage, and the price, again. I mean, Echo and Lucio as Starscream and Soundwave respectively would have been perfect, and it would have balanced the set out! Also, not having Rein saying “Autobots Roll Out” at some point was a missed opportunity. But again, those prices! I bought them but I ain’t gonna be a repeat customer if these prices are kept up.

0:07 god I hate Optimus Face. That’s Soundwave. I’m, still thinks Bastion looks better if is being a Shockwave instead of Bee. I mean Bastion is one eye having a gun on his right hand. Transform into a literal tank.

Not giving rain a truck sound when charging was a low blow

5:16 Now I’m imagining 11 kids v 1 Dad with this skin

0:32 tfp reference counted

Here’s the problem… the whole thing cost $54… I’m not paying for that much.

Your looking at Winton overwatch

I just don’t dig the Illari one man lol like I’m glad she finally got something but it just feels so weak

The jump is g1 movie reference, not BayMovie, BayMovie prime never does similar jump in any of the live action movies exept Bumblebee movie opening scene, and thats not even the same character And literally none of these lines are iconic in the slightest

I love the rein skin, but at that price, I can't afford it

Where’s Optimus axe?

Are we supposed to ignore the fact that bastion is natually Shockwave?

No one shall stand, one shall fall Big loss

The skins are meh, rein is the best one but still looks weird, A tier Rein, everyone else on E tier

Arcee looks …. odd

3:03 she kinda bad tho

I honestly think there was better options for skins, bastion should’ve been Megatron bc tank, widowmaker for arcee since she uses a sniper, not sure who bumblebee could be but I have a lot of other great ideas

G1 is better that bay when they fight you dont even know who is who most of the time

wrong leap

Do more research before making a video and getting some references wrong bro
