PUBG Mobile 3.9 update patch notes: Transformers update

The new Transformers mode is an Erangle-based game mode where you can summon Optimus Prime and Megatron to assist you in battle. According to the official website, the new game mode arrived on July 7, 2025, and it will run until September 2, 2025. It will be available in Erangle, Sanhok, and Livik maps in both Ranked and Unranked matches.

Read on for more details about PUBG Mobile 3.9 update's new themed mode:

Themed Mode

Summoning & Upgrading Transformers

• Summoning: After the match begins, locate a Spacebridge Beacon on the map. When the sky turns starry, raise the beacon and fire a beam of light into the sky to establish a connection with Cybertron. When the timer ends, Optimus Prime and Megatron will arrive and randomly choose two summoners to support. Energon and Cybertronian Supply Crates may also appear at their location.
• Optimus Prime & Megatron: Both Transformers can convert between alt and bot forms and unleash special skills in battle. After landing, they can be upgraded with Energon to unlock a powerful ultimate skill.
• Cybertronian Supply Crate: Contains lots of supplies.
• Energon Supply Crate: Contains Energon used to upgrade the Transformers in addition to supplies.
• Upgrading: Collect Energon from the battleground to level them up and unlock their ultimate skill.

Transformer - Optimus Prime

Alt Form (4-Seater Vehicle): A red semi-truck that provides strong defense and can be repeatedly activated. Players within are extremely well-protected.

Robot Form (Melee Attacker):

• Basic Attack - Axe Attack: Deliver three attacks in quick succession. Left cleave → right cleave → forward thrust.
• Ultimate Skill - Charge Slam: A high-speed dash attack that quickly closes the distance. Hitting Megatron slows him down, allowing Optimus Prime to follow up with more melee attacks. This skill deals damage to Megatron, players, and vehicles.

Transformer - Megatron

Alt Form (4-Seater Vehicle): An armed tank built like a moving fortress and can be repeatedly activated. Convert while on the move or on the spot, and gain a charged fusion blast.

Robot Form (Ranged Conqueror):

• Basic Attack - Cannon: Contains five shots. Tap and hold to keep firing. Each shot reloads individually on a short cooldown.
• Ultimate Skill - Fusion Blast: Tap and hold to unleash a charged attack. This skill deals more damage the longer it charges. Firing pushes Megatron back, creating distance. Hitting Optimus Prime slows him down, allowing Megatron to follow up with more ranged attacks. The explosion creates a large spherical detection zone. The number of players and vehicles inside it will be displayed at the bottom of Megatron's crosshair. This skill deals damage to Optimus Prime, players, and vehicles.

Transformers Archrival Showdown:

• When Optimus Prime and Megatron encounter each other on the battleground, a showdown will take place in Erangel. A duel zone will appear nearby, trapping the two Transformers bots inside. Only the victor can leave the zone and continue the match.
• In the duel zone, all members of the teams piloting Optimus Prime and Megatron will receive a temporary bonus respawn chance. It lasts until the player exits the duel zone, or the showdown has been won.

Transformers Activation:

• If a Transformers bot's Health is completely depleted, they will enter recovery mode. You can interact with them at this time to reactivate them. When they are defeated in the duel zone during a showdown, they will be terminated by the victor and leave the battleground.

Transformers Energon Depletion:

• Optimus Prime and Megatron's Energon will gradually deplete as the match goes on. At this time, they will change to their vehicle form and will no longer be able to transform.

Transformers Results Screen Performance:

• Join the Transformers Showdown event from the Lobby to obtain a Transformers Token. The Transformers Token can only be brought into Ranked Themed Erangel in Squad mode.
• You must be in a team of 4 players to activate the Transformers' trial. (Only 1 player on the team needs to possess a token.)
• When you defeat your Transformer bot's archrival, the trial challenge will automatically begin.

Themed Areas

Neon Outpost:

• A space outpost brimming with neon lights and a tech-infused atmosphere.
• The outpost consists of three areas: an arena, a black market, and an energy plant.
• There is a core crate on the second floor of the main arena building that opens automatically after a countdown.
• The black market includes a burger joint and repair shop. Interact with the machine at the burger joint to obtain a special consumable: the Cosmic Burger.
• Robots patrol the outpost. You can climb onto their heads to ride them or destroy them to get supplies.

Astro Den - Neon Outpost:

• An enclosed building located within the Neon Outpost where players engage in melee brawls.
• The den can be accessed through portals in the outpost.
• Inside the den, you can only fight using weapons that spawn there, most of which are melee weapons.
• When eliminated inside, you will respawn immediately above the Neon Outpost, and this does not use a respawn chance. The last team standing at the end of the countdown wins rewards.

Astro Den - Outskirts:

• Like the Astro Den in the Neon Outpost, you can only fight using weapons that spawn there, and most are melee weapons.
• The difference is that this den is located in the outskirts, and your opponents are bots instead of real players. Complete the challenge to get rewards.

Cosmic Meteorite Checkpoint:

• Teleport to the top of a meteorite at the edge of the universe, where you can gaze down upon Earth with Optimus Prime and Megatron. Join in a special performance to celebrate Earth Day.
• A variety of interactive performances await. Each area features its own special pose that you can use to take photos. There are also random surprises to look forward to.
• Earth Device: After checking in, the Transformers will leave behind an Earth Device that displays the Earth Day date to commemorate the occasion.
• Head to the Earth Device to claim a Meteorite Pack, which contains supplies.

Themed Items

Cosmic Hoverboard: High-Mobility Portable Vehicle

• It can be carried and allows for high-speed travel, but you won't be able to fire your weapons when riding it.
• It can be upgraded two times using collected hoverboard cores.
• Once upgraded, the hoverboard gains a double jump, boost, and hover to aid your adventures.
