Summary
- Overwatch 2's Ramattra Megatron skin can be obtained through Microsoft Rewards for 11,500 points.
- Microsoft offers a way for gamers to grab the skin without spending cash in-game.
- Overwatch 2's collaboration with Transformers brings new skins ahead of Season 12 next month.
Overwatch 2 players who want to use the new Ramattra Megatron skin without shelling out cash may be able to take advantage of a new Microsoft Rewards offer. It's been almost a full month since the beginning of Overwatch 2's 11th season. While no new hero was introduced, Season 11's Super Mega Ultrawatch theme added several fun superhero-inspired character skins to go along with the addition of Overwatch 2's new Push map, Runasapi, and other new modes and features.
Joining Overwatch 2' s recent history of impressive collaborations, the popular sci-fi action franchise Transformers brought four new hero skins into the world of Overwatch. Reinhardt's Optimus Prime skin, Ramattra's Megatron skin, Bastion's Bumblebee, and Illari's Arcee have all been added to Overwatch 2's in-game shop. Each skin is available for 2,500 Overwatch Coins, which comes out to $25 each, or as part of a bundle containing all four Transformers skins, along with additional goodies, for an eye-watering 5,900 Coins, or $59.

Thankfully, Xbox has provided a way for Transformers fans to nab one of these skins without having to put up additional cash. A Reddit user that goes by Elixo pointed out that Ramattra's Megatron skin is alternatively available to Microsoft Rewards members for 11,500 points. Unfortunately, the other three Transformers skins are only available for purchase in Overwatch 2's shop.
Overwatch 2 Players Can Grab Ramattra's Megatron Skin Via Microsoft Rewards
While this is certainly a better option for players seeking Ramattra's Megatron skin, 11,500 rewards points is still nothing to scoff at. Microsoft Rewards doles out points to users for using Bing and spending money on games or accessories in the Microsoft Store, but it could take a while for users to rack up 11,500 points. There's no telling whether this offer will remain live indefinitely, or if Xbox is planning to take it down after Season 11 of Overwatch 2 ends, so Microsoft Rewards members that are close to having enough points for the skin might consider going for 11,500 so they can grab Megatron Ramattra without being set back $25. Hopefully, Microsoft makes more generous offers like this for Overwatch 2 fans in the future.
The Transformers collab has been fun for Overwatch 2 players, but there's much more in store over the next several weeks as Season 12 approaches. The newest support hero named Juno has just recently been unveiled by Overwatch 2, and players will have an opportunity to go hands-on with the space ranger this weekend, from July 19 to July 21. She'll fully go live in Overwatch 2 as part of Season 12, which is set to begin on August 20.
