New characters in Squad Busters x Transformer update

The Squad Busters x Transformers update brings two new characters to the game. Here are their names:

How to unlock Optimus Prime and Elita-1 in Squad Busters

Unlocking the Optimus Prime and Elita-1 is pretty simple. All you had to do was collect Energon from battles and progress through the event to unlock them.

However, if you failed to unlock them during the event, you can still unlock them afterwards from the shop.
