The Transformer is a legendary absorb shield manufactured by Hyperion. The Transformer is dropped from any suitable loot source and is the reward for It's Alive in Desolation's Edge on Nekrotafeyo.
Special Shield Effects
There's more than your eye can see – Converts 100% of shock damage into shields.
Usage & Description
The Transformer's defining trait is its ability to absorb shock damage and use this to replenish itself. This offers an unusual tactical advantage, not only against shock damage enemies, but also in mixed enemy compositions where some deal shock damage. In such circumstances it can be beneficial to target any shock damage enemies last in order to exploit their damage output as an ad hoc source of healing. Under such circumstances, sustained shock damage can offset other incoming damage and allow a Vault Hunter to weather fire from multiple sources without the need need to evade.
As an absorb shield with a high absorption chance of 40%, the Transformer also helps to maintain ammunition levels during protracted fights.
Notes
Trivia
- The Transformer is a returning legendary shield from Borderlands 2 but as a Hyperion product instead of Vladof.
