The much-awaited PUBG Mobile 3.9 update is finally here, and it’s nothing short of epic. This time, players are treated to a full-blown collaboration with Transformers, bringing Optimus Prime and Megatron straight into the battleground. If you’re wondering how to summon these legendary robots in the game, here’s everything you need to know—direct and fact-based.
What’s New in PUBG Mobile 3.9?
The highlight of the 3.9 update is the new Transformers Mode, which brings a fresh and thrilling experience to the game. Available from July 8 to September 2, this limited-time event introduces special in-game mechanics that allow players to summon and control Optimus Prime or Megatron during matches.
How to Summon Transformers in Game
To summon Optimus Prime or Megatron, players need to locate and activate a Space Bridge Beacon. These beacons spawn randomly across the map during gameplay. Once a beacon is activated, the summoning process begins. However, not everyone can summon a Transformer—only two players per match are randomly selected by the game system to summon one of the two.
The summoning is completely random. You might call down Optimus Prime or Megatron—it depends on the game’s algorithm and the match conditions. Once summoned, the Transformer lands in the play zone and becomes a powerful ally.
What Can Optimus and Megatron Do?
Once summoned, these iconic characters can switch between robot form and vehicle form. Optimus Prime transforms into a massive red truck, while Megatron turns into a powerful purple tank. These vehicles can carry your teammates, making them useful for movement and positioning.
When in robot form, Optimus Prime uses an energetic axe, dealing heavy melee damage. Megatron, on the other hand, uses a fusion cannon to blast enemies from range. Both characters come with special abilities that can be upgraded by collecting Energon Cubes during the match.
Transformer Showdown – Duel Zone
If both Optimus Prime and Megatron are summoned in the same match, a Duel Zone is activated. This creates a one-on-one battle between the two Transformers. The robot that loses the duel can be revived by nearby players, so teamwork is key to winning this clash.
Other Notable Additions
Apart from Transformers, the 3.9 update also includes:
• New weapon: ASM Abakan rifle (uses 5.56mm ammo)
• Weapon attachments: New sniper rifle barrel extenders
• New map areas: Neon Outpost
• Zombie Uprising 2.0 mode returns
• Social Hub: A place for players to hang out in-game
Final Thoughts
This update isn’t just another cosmetic collaboration. It’s a carefully designed gameplay event that adds strategy, surprise, and excitement to every match. If you want to experience what it’s like to battle as or against Optimus Prime and Megatron, now’s the time. Just jump into a match, look for a Space Bridge Beacon, and see if you’re lucky enough to call in a Transformer.
