Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 has given us a new lineup of battle pass skins, and it's actually pretty great in kind of a low-key way. Not much stands out from this group at first glance aside from Optimus Prime--but, like every other battle pass collaboration in Chapter 4, his style options are severely lacking.

But this is still a quality group, and it's a lineup that holds a specific appeal to me because all but one of the new original characters looks like they walked into this game from a JRPG. Even Optimus Prime first appeared on screen as an anime character, so it's not like he breaks that mold, really.

All of which is to say that this group of new Fortnite skins has a surprisingly compelling aesthetic, and there are at least four or five that are going to end up as common choices for main skins well after this season ends. Now, let's argue about which ones are the best.

His basic style makes him look like a middle manager version of Nate Drake, and his final form makes him look like the pirate version of a CEO. Lorenzo's story implications are more interesting than this skin is--he's likely the same person as Renzo from last season's pass, and the Ageless Champion from the Season 1 pass, and by extension Geno, the founder of the Imagined Order. But that's a story for another article.

Relik is an odd one. He's not bad looking, but he looks like such a Generic Video Game Guy from Online Looter Shooter 2K24 that it's hard to feel much about him in any direction.

Optimus Prime is still Optimus Prime, and so I'll be more than happy to have him in my locker
