For a long time now, Bumblebee has become a fan-favorite Transformers character, and with a solo film that came out during an era where the franchise was struggling, the loveable robot became even more popular. So it is not exactly a surprise that the Bumblebee skin for the Damage hero Bastion is something that fans are really looking forward to trying out.

Considering that Bastion already has mobile abilities, the Bumblebee combination feels like the most natural addition.

Whether Bastion is one’s favorite hero or not, the new collaboration seems to have something for everyone, and the community feels genuinely impressed with what Blizzard Entertainment has shown so far.

While upcoming video games like Marvel Rivals that were supposed to take over Overwatch 2’s spotlight are already facing criticism for their skin reveals, Blizzard’s free-to-play title is holding on to its strengths.

And it is actually surprising to witness most players be excited for the collaboration as a unified community, which is something that does not usually happen with live-service games nowadays.
