Fortnite is known for its amazing crossover events with popular franchises, and the latest one is no exception. The game has teamed up with Transformers to bring two iconic characters from the series, Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal.
Optimus Primal is the leader of the Maximals, a faction of beast-like robots that fight against the Predacons. The character is now available in Fortnite but comes with a price tag.
How to get Optimus Primal in Fortnite
Optimus Primal is not part of the Battle Pass, but he is available in the Item Shop. You can either buy the skin or the whole collection bundle. You have the option to purchase just the skin or the entire bundle. The skin is priced at 1,600 V-Bucks (around $16 USD), while the bundle is priced at 1,800 V-Bucks (around $18 USD).
The bundle includes the skin, the Sonic Swords Pickaxe, the Maximal Emblem Back Bling, and the Go Primal Emote.
The Sonic Swords Pickaxe is a dual-wielded weapon that resembles two swords with blue energy blades. The Maximal Emblem Back Bling is a backpack that displays the logo of the Maximals. The Go Primal Emote is a built-in emote that transforms Optimus Primal into his beast mode: a gorilla.
Optimus Primal is part of the Transformers Set, which also includes Optimus Prime. If you buy both of them, you will complete the set and unlock a special loading screen that features both characters.
