New Themed Mode: Transformers Introduction

GamePlay Introduction

Summon the Transformers

• Spacebridge Beacon:

Used to summon air drops from Cybertron. It only be used within a certain time frame. Upon use, it will send a beam of light into the sky.

• Summon

You must pick up a Spacebridge Beacon from the map. Some time into the match, the sky will change, notifying everyone: "Connection to Cybertron established." You can then use the Spacebridge Beacon to randomly summon Optimus Prime, Megatron, a Cybertronian Supply Crate, or an Energon Supply Crate to your location.

• Energon Supply Crate

Contains tons of supplies, plus Energon for upgrading Transformers bots.

• Cybertronian Supply Crate

Supplies can be obtained from here.

 

Transformer - Optimus Prime

• Autobot Transformation

Optimus Prime can transform from truck mode into a robot that wields a thermal axe, with an exclusive skill upgrade.

• Normal Attack

• Ultimate

Optimus Prime's unique Charge Slam is a high-speed dash to close the distance between him and his target. Hitting Megatron slows him down, creating the opportunity to follow-up with more melee attacks.

 

Transformer - Megatron

• Autobot Transformation

Megatron can transform from tank mode into a robot that wields a cannon, with an exclusive skill upgrade.

• Normal Attack

• Ultimate

The last round of Megatron's unique Triple Fusion Blast pushes him back, keeping him from his target. Hitting Optimus Prime slows him down, creating the opportunity to follow-up with more ranged attacks.

 

Transformers Upgrade

After summoning Optimus Prime or Megatron, players need to hunt down Energon scattered across the map. Collecting Energon is crucial as it allows you to level up these Transformers. As they gain levels, their combat abilities increase, and once you've gathered enough Energon, you can unlock their powerful Ultimate Skills：

• Optimus Prime Ultimate: Charge Slam
• Megatron Ultimate: Triple Fusion Blast

 

Map Special Terrain

Hot Drop Location – Neon Town

Neon Town is a designated hot drop zone that transforms into night mode the moment players land. This dynamic lighting not only creates a unique atmosphere but also signals high-tier loot. At the center of the area is a large structure referred to as the “Main Chest,” which contains powerful airdrop-level weapons and a Spacebridge Beacon.

Players can also recall eliminated teammates directly at the Main Chest, making it a critical location not just for loot but also for team recovery. The area is designed to attract high-action early-game fights, rewarding risk with powerful gear and the chance to bring your squad back into the match.

 

Cosmic Portals

Throughout the map, players can discover Cosmic Portals that serve as gateways to a non-combat alternate dimension. Entering a portal instantly teleports you to a peaceful, loot-focused area. In this space, you can activate a beacon that grants a “gift”—a selection of random loot.

 

Special Events: Archrival Showdown

If Optimus Prime and Megatron come within 100 meters of each other, the game triggers a special event called the Archrival Showdown. In this event, a small 1v1 arena is generated around the two Transformers. Only the two involved players can fight inside, creating a cinematic, isolated duel that temporarily removes outside interference. It’s an epic clash designed for maximum drama and spectacle.

 

Mechanics

Energon and Transformation Limits

Transformers in PUBG Mobile rely on a limited energy resource called Energon. While in robot form, this resource gradually depletes. Once Energon runs out, the Transformer automatically reverts to vehicle form. This limitation adds a layer of strategic resource management, encouraging players to time their transformations carefully and conserve energy for critical moments.

 

Transformer Repair System

When a Transformer’s health bar is fully depleted by enemy attacks, it becomes temporarily unusable, and the player riding it is forcibly ejected and teleported back to the ground. In this disabled state, the Transformer cannot be used again until it is fully repaired. Players can restore it by interacting with the disabled unit for 10 seconds while having access to a Supply Crate, which provides the necessary energy for the repair. This system introduces a strategic layer to Transformer usage, where careful resource planning and team coordination are essential to bring the powerful unit back into action.

 

Transformer Recall and Barricade Phase

As the match progresses, all deployed Transformers are forcibly recalled by the system. This event is automatic and cannot be interrupted by players. When the recall is triggered, four barricades drop onto the map at the recall point, creating temporary obstacles on the terrain.

 

Special Vehicle: Cosmic Hoverboard

The Cosmic Hoverboard is a futuristic mobility tool that can only be activated after collecting two Cosmic Hoverboard Cores. Once activated, it provides a major movement boost, allowing players to zip across the battlefield at high speed. The hoverboard also features  jump ability and the ability to perform stylish stunts. While it offers no direct offensive capabilities, its agility makes it perfect for repositioning, flanking, or escaping chaotic fights. This vehicle adds a new layer of movement strategy for squads looking to maintain tempo and surprise enemies.
