These Transformers Didn’t Make The Cut For Blizzard’s Overwatch 2 Crossover

The last scrapped idea Blizzard mentions in the interview was dressing up Wrecking Ball as Unicron. This antagonist is a planet-sized Transformer that appears in a spherical shape before changing into his still very large but more recognizable robot form. This would have worked perfectly with Wrecking Ball, a hamster who pilots a ball-shaped mech. Dennett said that while fans would have loved it, Blizzard knew they had to balance the time and resources they had.

So those are just a few of the possibilities that didn’t make the cut, but the skins we have now for Ramattra, Reinhardt, Bastion, and Illari are still pretty great, and managed to capture some of the most recognizable robots in disguise. While the Transformers crossover has been well-received, Overwatch 2 fans are pretty heated about the game’s latest balance patch that many feel made tanks too powerful.
