You have the option to purchase just the skin or the entire bundle. The skin is priced at<strong> 1,600 V-Bucks (around &#36;16 USD)<\/strong>, while the bundle is priced at 1,800 V-Bucks (around &#36;18 USD).<\/p>\n<p>The bundle includes the skin, the Sonic Swords Pickaxe, the Maximal Emblem Back Bling, and the Go Primal Emote.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div tabindex=\"0\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<p>You can&rsquo;t miss Optimus Primal in the Item Shop, he&rsquo;s the first thing you see when you open the Fortnite store. You don&rsquo;t have to worry about him leaving anytime soon, he&rsquo;s not like those Daily items that come and go. Optimus Primal is here to chill for a while, maybe even until the end of the season. After all, he&rsquo;s the big boss of the Transformers, Optimus Prime&rsquo;s Tier 100 skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite is known for its amazing crossover events with popular franchises, and the latest one is no exception.
