ATransformersfan recently displayed their impressive Decepticon-inspired custom PlayStation 5 console. Hasbro’s long-running action figure franchise hasspawned countless video games, cartoons, comics, and movies over the decades, with many of these tie-in media projects retelling the epic battle between the heroic Autobots and villainous Decepticons as they take on alternate forms based on real-world vehicles, animals, and everyday appliances.
In addition to the many video game tie-ins for theTransformerscartoons and live-action movies, developer High Noon Studios once brought the Autobots and Decepticons to life in itsTransformers: War for Cybertronseries. These games are considered by many to be the bestTransformersgames ever made, and word has it that Hasbro islooking to bring these classicTransformersgames to modern hardwarethrough services like Xbox Game Pass. In the meantime,Fortniterecently had a crossover withTransformersthat saw Optimus Prime enter the frantic battle royale action andFortnite’s Battle Bus become a shape-shifting alien mech.

All theseexcitingTransformers-related gaming developmentsseem to have inspired fans to decorate their home consoles in honor of the mechanical warriors of Cybertron - as was the case with Reddit user wfc_godz. They recently posted a photo of their ownTransformers-based PS5 on r/playstation, one that is adorned with the infamous mask-like insignia of the Decepticon faction. The console also sports a black cover shell and purple under glow, both of which are commonly associated with the evil Megatron and his band of would-be galactic conquerors.
At December’s Game Awards 2022 livestream, developerSplash Damage announcedTransformers: Reactivate, which will apparently see the Autobots and Decepticons unite against a new alien threat to Earth and Cybertron alike. While official details are few and far between, recent reports suggest thatReactivatewill include characters from the fan-favoriteBeast Warsera - not too long after they were brought into the live-action films inTransformers: Rise of the Beasts.
Meanwhile, wfc_godz’s Deception-inspiredTransformersPlayStation 5 console has garnered some positive reactions from other Reddit users - with some joking about how it might come to life and wreck their house like the Decepticons from the movies. Thankfully wfc_godz’s customTransformersconsole isn’t an evil alien bent on galactic conquest - though it will probably be a fun way to playTransformers: Reactivatewhen it launches sometime in the hopefully not-too-distant future.
