The Transformer (Borderlands 2)

The Transformer is a Absorb Shield manufactured by Vladof.

Special Shield Effects
Immunity to shock damage. High chance to absorb enemy bullets. Electricity damage recharges the shield.

Usage & Description
Although there are better options for absorbtion shields than the Transformer, some players may find this shield to be their "best friend" due to it's ability to recharge itself by absorbing shock damage. This can prove even more useful should a player using this shield get attacked by enemies using only shock element attacks.

The Transformer can have a bullet absorbtion chance of up to 42%. This is lower than some Purple Rarity Vladolf shields, which can have a max absorb chance of 48%.

Trivia

 * The name and Red Text are a combined reference to the Transformers brand of toys created by Hasbro. The slogan for Transformers is "More Than Meets the Eye".
 * The Transformer may be a reference to how an electric transformer can change the levels of power, similar to how the shield can change electricity to health.
