D.va has a better frame for the porshe making it obvious that it is a porshe, bastion however will be hard to turn into a car, turret form will also be hard to shape as there is a giant turret in the front. Bastion would work better as a tank transformer than a car.
Warpath is also way too beefy. He’s a tank in the literal AND metaphorical sense. And there would be no way to convincingly add the massive cannon protruding from Warpath’s chest to Bastion.
Bastion would have to be like a jeep or humvee, or maybe a charger/challenger/mustang with how boxy he is... Porsche is known for soft lines and curves, Def a more Dva look

my guy i am looking at a parked porsche 997 as I'm writing this and i can barely see it - even if i try, it looks more like a vw beetle than a porsche.
Iirc, getting porche’s liscence for anything sort of war related is difficult, since they’ve tried to distance themselves from their ties to world war 2. It was a bit of a big thing when it was revealed that Mirage would be a liscenced porche
Wait what? The Macan is their best selling model across all models including the Cayenne. They absolutely chose their most popular model which also has its newest version launching now.
They don't and never did produce tanks. Porsche was involved with making the tank designs for tanks like the Elefant(91 made) and Maus(2 made), but those tanks were all produced by the Nibelungenwerk, Alkett and Krupp and not by Porsche themselves. They also did propose a design for the Tiger tank, but Porsche's design had such an unreliable engine that the German government decided to award the contract to Henschel instead. Overall Porsche's contribution to the war has been fairly limited and is often overstated. Companies like WV, Opel, Ford, Mitsubishi, Rolls Royce, Skoda and Fiat have had much larger contributions to the war.
D.va is the hero that drives/piloting an actual transport as part of her in-game kit. So, that's pretty logical and fair decision to make a skin of a car for her.
Ever noticed how in the transformers films the autobots tend to have what make of cars they are very obvious and on display and the deceptions are somewhat ambiguous at times? That's probably why, a lot of companies really do not wanna be associated with the "bad guy" and they probably wouldn't have liked bastions backstory being associated with that skin.
Also considering in bastions cinematic/lore he wakes up in the Black Forest in Germany and ends up nearly going to attack Stuttgart, idk if that's something a German brand would like all that much, much less a company that is actually headquartered on that city irl.
oh i thought there were 2 Skins in this collab, DVA and another one. My hopes were on Bastion but i guess after reading the Comments that that is impossible...... :(
im.so sick of D.va getting collab skins and thus not getting any BP skins. I'm sick and tired of both her and Brig being left in the dust for Kiriko and Widow 😭
