Dang. I really wanted to see the new Rein/Prime skin do more. Like first off, he should have been wielding an axe, like Prime does. Second, Rein DEFINITELY should have transformed into a truck when he charges! I am very disappointed.

idk,i mean it would look cool but that would make him have a different hitbox when charging than other skins

That’s asking a bit much. It’s a skin collab. They’re not going to re-animate a whole character for it. Bastion already has a core transformation, Rein doesn’t.

Asking a bit much? Are you calling blizzard incompetent incapable and lazy? Are you saying that Blizzard couldn’t create an animation?

They could have just given him a light silhouette of the truck form when he charges.

They could do it with the same hitbox and just make it an animation. Have you ever seen the Thomas the tank engine mod in custom games? It doesn’t change the hitbox.

That’s not the problem. It’s how much sense it would make. And how extremely buggy it would be. When D.Va bugs out every other month, imagine a transforming Rein animation that will have to accommodate cancelling charge early, and transforming back to normal after he’s done charging. The few seconds it takes is a lot of time when you’re a tank and wanting to perform a hammer swing.
See, all that I see you doing is calling the Blizzard programmers and artists either incompetent, incapable, or lazy. or a combination thereof. They are more than capable of doing this. unless they fired all of their best people.

They want you to purchase the Hellhammer (which is actually an axe) separately. It comes July 23rd, if I recall correctly.
Would have been cool but they would never do that.
I feel like except for the Bastion one, the highlight intros are kinda weak. I wish Rein transformed in at least that, but no

Possible.
It’s also extremely possible that nobody at blizzard worked on this skin AT ALL.
They outsource a lot of this stuff now.

You’re definitely reading what you want to read, and understanding it the way you want to understand.
I’m not taking that bait.
The only thing i wanted for this skin is that the ult line to be changed to “All are one!”
I mean they dont make those kinds of changes for skin colabs in other games. Its just a skin so
I don´t even know the movie and think, that Rein looks cool. Not to mention all the sound effects. I had one in game and that skin is really impressive.
I agree with the OP, the skins are disappointing for $25 and the voice lines don’t sound like the characters. I l think for the amount Blizz is asking (full AAA game price for everything) we should expect some cool animations.
