Squad Busters “Energon” And Characters
In the latest update for Squad Busters, two iconic characters Optimus Prime and Elita-1 are classified as Special Characters which will remain in the game permanently.
However, they have limited evolution forms; only reaching up to Super forms, unlike other characters that may achieve Ultra or Ultimate forms.
Generally, collecting Energon is a key mechanic in this event. To collect Energon and unlock Optimus Prime, players should engage in matches where they can collect Energon cubes.
Every chest opened during a match provides two Energon cubes, which significantly contributes to your total.
At the start of each match, quickly move towards the center of the map, where Energon is often dropped.
Significantly, this area tends to have higher concentrations of resources, including Energon cubes.

Optimus Prime Abilities
Optimus Prime has the highest hit points (HP) among troops in Squad Busters.
Moreover, it features strong defensive capabilities with decent damage per second (DPS) and healing abilities for the squad.
Further, his unique skills evolve as players progress through his available forms.
Elita-1 Abilities
Specific details about Elita-1’s abilities are less highlighted than Optimus Prime’s.
However, she will also be available to unlock during the event in the second week. Further, she will feature her own set of skills tailored to enhance gameplay.
Specifically for Elita-1, players need to collect Pink Energon Cubes to unlock a series of event chests that reward her.
Each chest requires more Pink Energon to unlock than the previous one, with the final chest requiring 2,065 Pink Energon to fully unlock Elita-1.
New Gameplay Features
Battle Mod – Unicron Attacks introduces a unique Battle Mod where players face off against Unicron.
Generally, it is an enormous boss that transforms between planet and robot forms.
This mod is exclusive to the Transformers event and provides a challenging gameplay experience against powerful enemies like Megatron Tanks.
This special battle modifier spawns Decepticon tanks that drop additional Energon when defeated.
Taking down these tanks and the Unicron boss itself can yield a substantial amount of Energon, making it a prime target during gameplay.
Players can also participate in collecting Star Keys to open Star Chests, which offer various rewards, including new characters or enhanced forms of existing ones.
The update promises a significant number of free Star Chests at the beginning of the event to encourage participation.
