Involvements in Games/Hal

Angry Birds=

Hal appears in Angry Birds Transformers and is given his first counterpart character (having been the only member of Red's flock to not have one at that time). He is shown to be a dinosaur/motorcycle hybrid.

In the comic adaptions for the game, it is shown that Hal fell onto the eggspark (along with Chuck, who had unintentionally pushed him), and that is why he had first turned into Grimlock. This also makes his easygoing, peaceful, and friendly personality turn into mindlessness, and the will to fight.

As described in the game:

"You might call Grimlock the 'strong, silent type,' except he's really not silent at all. He loves to roar and smash and stomp and zap things with his laser and do anything else that's noisy. Grimlock doesn't like authority or taking orders (unless the order is to smash stuff up), but in the end, he always comes through for his team-mates. Grimlock is strong and brave, but also slow and clumsy. His direct, 'smash anything that gets in the way' attitude makes him an excellent asset on the battlefield, just don't expect him to do anything sneaky. But what do you expect? He's a dinosaur."

His ability can be used to destroy certain blocks by tapping on them, or, you can sweep your finger around the screen and he will follow with his electric shock. Either method will cause pulsing, bright electricity to shoot out of his mouth.

Grey Slam Grimlock is perhaps the weakest of all of Hal's counterparts, and the easiest to unlock. This version of him belongs to the "Leaders" squad. Energon Grimlock is very strong but will end up taking more damage. He belongs to the "Energon Fuelled" squad. Goldbite Grimlock is also very powerful, but is a variant character, belonging to the "Variant Versions" squad. Thus, if you fail a mission you will lose all coins from your missions.

As Trypticon, he is very different than other Grimlocks. He fires three to four black holes at a time similar to Megatron. Trypticon acts like a Deceptihog (Because Trypticon is based on a Decepticon). He belongs to "The Cybertronians" squad.

All 4 characters will transform into a motorbike in vehicle form.


 * -|Angry Birds Action!=

Hal appears as a very minor character and only appears in the Wheel of Fortune section of the game Angry Birds Action!.


 * -|Angry Birds Ace Fighter=

Hal appears in Angry Birds Ace Fighter as a non-playable character, and only appears in the loading screen and Bird Launcher section.

Strangely, while all of the other birds use their Toons animation style, Hal's design is based on his updated original style.


 * -|Angry Birds Holiday=

Hal made a notable appearance in Angry Birds Holiday and owned his own purchasable item from the store. It is known that the game was made with 3D animation and that Hal used his The Angry Birds Movie animation style in the game.

The game was never released outside of soft launch, and Rovio announced that the game stopped development. It was shut down as of December 21st, 2016.

As the game was never given a worldwide release, not much is exactly known about it, or Hal's involvement. It is known that his item, the "Adventure Club", could be bought with in-game currency, unlocking Hal in the process.


 * -|Angry Birds 2=

When Angry Birds 2 first launched, it was stated by Rovio that Hal chose to "sit out" of the game, along with Bubbles and Stella. However, Hal was added to the game on December 6, 2018, as an extra bird.

The game also introduced computer animation for the birds and the pigs, which had never happened with the previous installments of the series. (which used pre-set separate sprites for when the bird is idle, flies, etc) Hal got a new Toons design and animation style, along with a new voice.

When he was added, he was encaged and the player had to get 60.000 green feathers in order to unlock him, but he was unlocked for free on December 13, 2018.

He also appears as icons that can be selected by the player as his profile picture.

Appearance
He got a new design, that is based on his movie and classic design, only with dark green feathers, completely yellow long beak, black eyebrows, white belly, black tail, dark green rings surrounding the eyes and he has no hair, like the Toons design. In the player's icon, he uses the same design as his toons design and classic one.

Gameplay
Hal can be chosen as an extra bird, but for it, he has to sleep for 12 hours and used for 4 hours. He is strong but has to be used correctly, in order to make greater scores and damage.

When launched, Hal, unlike the other games, won't start spinning, instead, he will keep in the same way as the other birds. When his ability is activated, he will start spinning towards the structure, and will destroy blocks and defeat pigs in good strength when he has momentum, even destroying stone unlike the other games, where he gets injured after hitting stone, he will then get injured as he hits a solid object. A symbol Hal appears carved in Captain Freedom's Gung Ho evolution belt buckle, he uses his classic design. He was the reference used for Walter's design.
