Voodoo is proud to announce the next exciting update as part of our ongoing collaboration with Hasbro, a leading toy and game company. In conjunction with the highly anticipated release of TRANSFORMERS ONE, the latest animated feature film from Hasbro and Paramount Pictures, we are thrilled to introduce Megatron, the
iconic Decepticon leader, as the newest Champion in Mob Control.
TRANSFORMERS ONE, hitting theaters on September 20th, 2024, is an origin story that explores
the early relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron. The story showcases how these
two legendary characters went from brothers-in-arms to archenemies, forever altering the fate
of their home planet, Cybertron. Directed by Josh Cooley, the film features an ensemble voice
cast including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key,
Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm. The film marks the franchise’s first
theatrical animated feature since THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE in 1986 and promises to be a
pivotal moment in the TRANSFORMERS universe.
In the Mob Control world, Megatron’s arrival continues this saga, and players will get to
experience the power and complexity of this iconic character firsthand. Following the successful
integration of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, Megatron joins Mob Control as the third
TRANSFORMERS Champion. Megatron’s introduction gives players the opportunity to explore
the darker side of the TRANSFORMERS story, as they now get to fight on the Decepticons’ side
with Megatron in their loadout, offering a fresh perspective and dynamic Battle experiences.
In his robot form, Megatron wields his Energon Mace, delivering devastating melee attacks as he
fights enemies in Battle. Players can also tap on Megatron at any moment during Battle to
convert him into his Siege Tank mode and back. In the Siege Tank mode, Megatron can unleash
powerful ranged attacks on the nearest enemy Towers. The ability to switch between robot and
Siege Tank forms will provide players with unprecedented control and tactical options during
Battles.
Starting today, players can discover Megatron in the Armory and start collecting the Blueprints
they need to unlock the Champion by completing missions in the TRANSFORMERS Season and
battling it out in an exclusive story mode event, Echoes from Cybertron.
