McCree from Overwatch will now be known as Cole Cassidy, Blizzard has announced as part of a post made on social media.

Optimus Prime converts into a truck, Megatron into a tank, and Starscream into a jet. All of the Transformers characters will come in two forms – one based on the Smite art style and another inspired by the Transformers Generations toys, TV show, and movie from the 80s.
