There are various styles of Optimus Prime skins in the game. Beginning with the most basic and original form of skin, which players will stumble upon first. The second one seems more battle-hardened, or as described in the game, the “Battle Tested” version. This version of the Optimum Prime skin looks more rugged, rough, and damaged from the battle.

It is advised for players to get their hands on the new BattlePass to gain access to the Optimus Prime skin. Other than the Transformer’s skin, players get to choose from a plethora of other skins and custom cosmetics in Fortnite. New quests and missions with attractive rewards are another benefit of getting a BattlePass.
