Transformers x BGMI: Optimus Prime, Megatron to arrive with 3.9 update
BGMI 3.9 update is expected on July 16, with a Transformers crossover, hoverboards, zombie mode, new loot, and smoother performance for budget phones BGMI 3.9 update X Transformers New Delhi South Korean video game publisher Krafton is expected to release the next big update to Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) on July 16, introducing a new theme, locations, and more. Battlegrounds Mobile India has shared a video on YouTube, highlighting what's new in the upcoming update. As per the video, Transformers in Neon Town themed mode are arriving in BGMI. Here is what players can expect from the BGMI 3.9 update. BGMI 3.9 update: Release timeline According to a report by Digit, the BGMI 3.9 upgrade is likely to be released on July 16, 2025, at roughly 6:30 AM for Android and 9:00 AM for iOS. BGMI 3.9 update: What to expect The BGMI 3.9 update may be released on July 16, bringing several gameplay changes and features. According to BGMI's YouTube video, the biggest addition is a Transformers crossover, where players can use Spacebridge Beacons found in maps like Erangel and Livik to call in Optimus Prime or Megatron (Transformers characters). These characters can switch between robot and vehicle forms and use special attacks. The YouTube video further highlights that there's also a new Hoverboard in the game which in a way replaces the ODM gear found in the BGMI 3.8 update. It can be used for quicker movement and mid-air combat, but it has a cooldown timer to avoid overuse. According to a report by India Today Gaming, Zombie Mode is also making a return — this time with larger enemies like an Ice Dragon and Ink Blaster, which will likely require more coordinated team efforts to take down. On the rewards side, expect new loot crates, along with Transformers-themed skins and emotes. For users on lower-end devices, a new Super Smooth mode will reportedly be added to improve performance.

LEGO Rolls Out G1 Transformers Soundwave Set In Aug
LEGO is steadily assembling its Transformers roster, adding the first Decepticon to its line-up with a G1 Transformers Soundwave set due out on 4 August, which can not only transform into a cassette player, but also comes with the character's miniature transformable companions, Ravage and Laserbeak. Marking the third Transformers build of its kind, following 2022's LEGO Optimus Prime and last year's LEGO Bumblebee, the LEGO Soundwave (set 10358) marks multiple firsts for the brand, as not only is it the first Decepticon set, it is also the first to feature companions, and the first to include voice playback, with an included 'play' button on the model's chest that recites Soundwave's iconic lines when pressed. Much like the previous two builds, the set will be targeted at adult collectors, comprising 1,505 pieces and measuring 13 inches (33cm) tall in robot mode, making it almost the same height as the LEGO Optimus Prime build. The main Soundwave figure, alongside the two companions, will all be transformable into their respective cassette player and cassette tape modes without needing to be disassembled and rebuilt. The build will also feature additional accessories like cassettes, a rocket pod, alongside a laser blaster and a dart. The aforementioned sound brick piece also recites five different catchphrases and sound effects when activated, including Soundwave's iconic lines like 'Soundwave superior' and 'Danger, Autobots detected'. As a package, the LEGO Soundwave set presents perhaps the most comprehensive package in the line-up to date, as buyers are essentially getting three Transformers figures in one. The look of the build is also bound to delight fans of the now-retro G1 robot designs, offering an almost one-to-one replica of how the character appeared in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie . The build will also feature knee articulation this time around, a feature sorely missing in the previous two sets, enabling collectors to display the figure in more dynamic poses. The LEGO Transformers Soundwave set will launch on 4 August 2025 exclusively on the LEGO Store, and will be priced at S$259.90. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. LEGO LEGO Transformers Soundwave Transformers

Lego's Transforming Soundwave Actually Makes Some Noise
Lego's returning to Cybertron for its latest big set, but with a twist: after giving us the Autobot leader Optimus Prime and one of his most loyal soldiers in Bumblebee over the past few years, now it's finally the turn of the Decepticons to get their brick-based glory. Except it's not who you might have expected to get that early honor. This morning Lego revealed that the first Decepticon joining the ranks of the Transformers line is none other than Soundwave himself. It's a surprise to not see Megatron take the mantle of the first Lego Decepticon, but it may not be too surprising given that both of his classic alt-modes, a tank and a gun, are not exactly things Lego are fond of depicting in brick form (unless it's through the sci-fi bent of something like Star Wars). Soundwave certainly does a lot to fill that illustrious bill himself, however. Clocking in at over 33 cm tall when in his robot mode, the 1,505-piece Soundwave can completely transform into his cassette tape alt-mode without need for disassembly, and even comes with an opening cassette bay to use in either mode. To fill that bay, you can use the included models of either Laserbeak or Ravage, who likewise can transform between cassette and robot modes. That's not all, though: a sound brick is built into Soundwave just behind the play button on his torso, so that when you press it, it actually plays specially recorded classic Transformers voice lines and sound effects—the first time any of the Lego Transformers sets have had this kind of electronic functionality. All that should hopefully take the sting off of anyone who was hoping for a Lego Megatron to menace their Autobots! The Lego Soundwave will be available to purchase from August 1 for members of the Lego Insiders VIP program, before going on general sale August 4. He's available to pre-order now, for a hefty $190.
