In GTA Online, a bug currently allows what are called “Transformer Races.” In these, your vehicles are transformed into a random different vehicle at certain checkpoints.
GTA Online delivered quite a bit of new content in the latest update “Smugglers Run”:
- New vehicles
- New items
- A new game mode in PUBG style called “Motor Wars”
However, what was not meant to be part of the update are the “Transformer Races.”
GTA Online – Transformer Races – Originally planned for fall
The Transformer Races are a game mode where you race in a regular race. However, at certain checkpoints, it suddenly goes “Poof” and your vehicle transforms into another vehicle.
This leads to absurd situations and drastically altered gameplay when your sleek sports car suddenly becomes a cumbersome SUV or a sputtering scooter.
The Transformer Races have already been teased by developer Rockstar. The release was supposed to take place in fall 2017. However, a bug in the code of Smuggler’s Run has revealed the gameplay mechanics of the Transformer Races already in the game.
GTA Online – DIY Transformer Races
Creative players have discovered that they can create Transformer Races in the Stunt Races editor with primary and secondary checkpoints. The secondary checkpoint is always a transformer checkpoint, where you can even set which vehicles are included in the random selection. So you can let your imagination run wild and include all kinds of cars and motorcycles in the list.
YouTuber Broughy1322 has summarized the whole procedure in a video. We have included the clip here for you. Enjoy!
Whether Rockstar will fix the bug with a hotfix soon or leave the Transformer Races in the game is not yet known.
