Transformations (Angry Birds Transformers)

Transformers Characters are characters seen in Angry Birds Transformers. All the birds and pigs are based on the Transformers characters in G1, with the exceptions of Nemesis Prime, Bumblebee, Lockdown, and Airachnid.

Optimus Prime
Optimus is a charismatic leader whose courage and compassion inspire everyone he meets. He's brave, powerful and wise.

If he has one weakness it's that he's always focused on the well-being of his fellow Autobirds. Also, he's straightforward and to the point - so don't expect him to crack any jokes. And he sometimes loses his temper, too.

Optimus isn't driven to fight by hatred or vengeance, but a desire to achieve freedom for all and end the destruction the EggBots are causing.

Actually, fighting against the EggBots is causing Optimus real problems. They're the Eggs - so they have to be protected at all costs, right? But, they're destroying everything and must be stopped.

Optimus is a good, all-round fighter, with no major weaknesses. With his balance of firepower, toughness and speed he's able to take on any situation.

His weapon takes a short time to hit its target, so it's best to focus your fire on one threat at a time. It may not do the most damage but it never overheats or needs to reload, so just hold the screen.

Energon Optimus Prime
Optimus is a charismatic leader whose courage and compassion inspire everyone he meets. He's brave, powerful, wise, and just all-round awesome.

If he has one weakness it's that he's always focused on the well-being of his fellow Autobirds. Also, he's straightforward and to the point - so don't expect him to crack any jokes. And he sometimes loses his temper, too.

His Energon overcharged weapon is enormously powerful, but Energon is volatile, so he takes a lot more damage, too!

Energon Optimus fires three lasers at once, and the weapon has a super quick reload time. Like the regular Optimus, you can focus on one enemy at a time, or, if powerful enough, you can swipe across the screen and deal a spread of damage.

Bumblebee
Being zapped by the EggSpark transformed more than just Chuck's body. He used to be ultra-competitive and desperately striving to prove his skills, but now he prefers to help others show their own powers.

Naturally this change has confused the other Autobirds - they're just waiting for him to suddenly snap and do something crazy!

As one of the smallest, scout Autobirds, Bumblebee often finds himself in trouble. He tries his best, but for some reason that he can't figure out, his habit of acting without thinking often gets him into tricky situations.

But don't worry - his bravery, smarts and speed haven't let him down yet! He loves a good adventure.

Bumblebee's weapon is rapid firing but low damage, making it great at taking out wooden tower blocks, but poor at tougher enemies and stone blocks. Best to transform and use his extreme speed to outrun bigger threats.

He's also great against flying and falling pigs, and at shooting down incoming missiles.

Grey Slam Grimlock
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 weapon can be used to sweep across the screen, smashing ice blocks or weak threats as it goes. Or you can hold the beam on a single target to burn through it.

Either way you need to watch the weapon doesn't overheat and shut down. If that happens you just have to wait for it to cool - down.

Heatwave
Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird is absolutely huge, and is sort of the opposite of Grimlock. He is silent, but also destructive.

He's massively strong and tough - able to smash through anything in his way - but also able to silently appear right behind you like he walked into the shadows.

Heatwave is gruff and grumpy. But on the inside, he's dedicated to caring for his team and is absolutely focused on the mission.

His weapon is powerful against towers and slow enemies, but it takes a long time to fire, so it's best to transform and drive away from airborne enemies.

Don't be afraid to take a few hits when using Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird, he's tough enough to take it. Ignoring some damage may give you time to take the shot!

Arcee
Don't let her pink colour scheme distract you - Arcee is a fearsome warrior and an excellent shot. She leaves it to the clumsy Deceptihogs to blast away wildly - her skill is picking out the exact block that will bring a tower down.

Arcee has always been a fierce fighter, and teaming up with Stella has just added to her headstrong, driven nature.

Every TRANSFORMERS character has their reason for battling the EggBots, but Arcee is thinking about the bigger picture... She figures that if the EggBots succeed in turning Piggy Island into metal they'll be free to turn their attention to other islands, and that's not happening on her watch!

Arcee's weapon is designed to bring down piggy towers with carefully placed precision shots. Blocks that she hits are shoved backwards, meaning she can easily bring down towers that other characters struggle with.

The downside is that her shots do very little damage to armored enemies, so anything that can't be knocked down will give her trouble. Best to use her high speed to outrun danger!

Vehicle mode: Motorbike

Airachnid
Remember how the EggBots created Nemesis Prime to battle the TRANSFORMERS characters but he rebelled against them? Turns out EggBots don't learn too well because they tried it again!

Designed to be a sinister version of Arcee, the only flaw in the EggBot's plan is that they're idiots. Stella and Arcee are as heroic as Red and Optimus Prime, so of course Airachnid immediately joined the battle to save Piggy Island!

Airachnid may have joined the Autobird / Deceptihog alliance, but she still has a little of the EggBot's mischievous personality.

Airachnid roams Piggy Island as a lone warrior, causing trouble for the EggBots by knocking down towers, poking pigs and searching for the Eggspark. But what will she do if she finds it?

Airachnid's weapon follows the same principles as Arcee's, just more extreme! Bring down towers by knocking away the right blocks, but don't expect to destroy tough enemies.

Instead, use Airachnid's speed to transform, not only out-running threats, but also causing enemies to shoot too far ahead. Once they've fired at where they expect her to be, transform to slow down and watch the shots fly by!

(Even though Airachnid is stared by Stella, she is actually a Deceptihog)

Jazz
Jazz understands that it's not what you do that counts, but how cool you look doing it. He's stylish and knows it, but doesn't see a need to show off. Being transformed by the EggSpark hasn't changed Jazz's love of candy. In fact, he's only battling to save Piggy Island because of all the delicious candies on it!

As one of Optimus Prime's sub-commanders, Jazz is often sent on top-secret missions, He's always calm and cool under pressure.

A balanced mix of rapid fire and fast speed means Jazz should take on towers and flying enemies, and dodge tougher threats.

Like most of the light, fast characters, the trick to using Jazz is quickly working out which targets you can take on and which you should leave.

Sentinel Prime
Sentinel Prime is so big and powerful he can roll over anything in his way. Actually he doesn't even have to do that - he just stares at the problem until it gets out of the way.

Sentinel Prime is one of the oldest Transformers, so even though he's ultra-powerful his one weakness is that he has to go for a nap sometimes. He also glowers in that special way only old folks can manage - but as he's so grumpy anyway nobody can tell.

Perhaps his age gives him great wisdom, but since he never speaks we'll never know.

Concentrate on ground based targets and use your other abilities to get away from flying and falling pigs, and especially the missiles!

Sentinel Prime is too slow to outrun threats, so sometimes you'll just have to take the hits. His weapon is devastating to towers, so focus on them first. Just look at all the Coins you're earning!

Ultra Magnus
Where Optimus Prime is a leader, Ultra Magnus is a dedicated soldier, 100% focused on protecting the innocent. That may make him a bit blunt, sure, but he's got a job to do.

It's his role to take the fight to the Deceptihogs and Eggbots.

Ultra Magnus is extremely disciplined when carrying out the mission at hand - and right now that's to end the destruction of Piggy Island and keep the EggBots from trashing everything.

His weapon fires powerful bursts but takes time to reload, so watch out you don't get caught at the wrong moment. Sometimes it's worth holding your fire so he has the chance to reload.

Ultra Magnus has a good mix of power, toughness and speed, but isn't focused on any one thing, so you'll need to adapt to whatever's coming at you.

Bluestreak
Here's a question that's puzzled the world's scholars for years - what happens if you give the Blues control of a giant robot body?

Now they're teamed up with Bluestreak the Blues have access to limbs, lasers and missiles.

Bluestreak is renowned for his pinpoint sharp-shooting skills, but the Blues have more of a 'fire at everything then keep firing then fire some more' attitude. Still, they get the job done - they're having so much fun blasting stuff that they don't notice they're in any danger! Optimus Prime has tried telling them off but it doesn't work - only one of Heatwave's intense stares can get them to obey orders.

Bluestreak's weapon should be familiar to fans of The Blues! Upon impact the bomb splits into three smaller clusters!

The initial impact won't do much damage, so aim where the smaller cluster bombs can hit surrounding objects - These really pack a punch and should be enough to shatter even the strongest tower!

Prowl
While some of the Angry Birds and Transformers team-ups work well together, the mix of Prowls' intense logic and the Blues' freewheeling fun has been... complicated.

Prowl wants to plan everything carefully, but the Blues - they don't really 'do' planning!

In the end it was decided that if the Blues want to have fun then it's only logical for Prowl to join in.

Prowl supports Optimus by devising plans and strategies.

Recently, his planning has become more difficult for Prowl. When a long strategy session means all three of your heads fall asleep from boredom it's hard to concentrate over the snoring!

Prowl is all about the power of three! Three Blues, three cluster bombs, and a clip size of three! The bombs fire quickly, so you can use them to snipe at moving enemies!

The clusters will come out thick and fast! Don't expect to be able to predict where they fall - Aim for the center of something big and let the splash damage take care of the rest.

Nemesis Prime
Nemesis Prime was created to be a dark opposite of Optimus Prime, to cause mayhem and trouble whenever he want. But the EggBots had forgotten two things: Angry Bird Red is a hero! And Optimus Prime is a hero!

So now Nemesis Prime fights for good; helping his teammates battle to reclaim Piggy Island! Ha! In your eggy face, silly EggBots!

Nemesis Prime's anti-gravity gun doesn't do much damage per shot. Instead it launches pigs and blocks into the air and lets gravity do the rest!

To ensure that you get maximum lift, aim directly at pigs or for the top few blocks of the tower.

Rodimus
Fast, headstrong and impatient, Rodimus is the perfect match to be mashed up with Chuck!

Rodimus can't stand to be in one place for too long, which is probably why it took the Autobots so long to find him! As soon as they located where he was, he'd moved on to smash pigs somewhere else!

At first glance Rodimus might seem immature, but he's more than capable of stepping up to the plate and leading the Autobots if Optimus Prime is otherwise engaged. Life as a Prime is stressful though, so he's more than happy to let Optimus take the lead whenever he returns.

Rodimus's gun reflects his fiery personality. Great balls of fire are flung towards the target. These fireballs don't do much initial damage but will burn over time. Use this to your advantage- Move onto the next target while the first is still burning!

Make sure to dodge whatever is being shot back! Things which are on fire can still be a threat.

Windblade
Windblade and Silver have a lot in common - Windblade was raised on Caminus rather than Cybertron and Silver was raised by the Pigs! Talk about being born in a barn! It sure beats being turned into a cyber-omelette though!

Even though she may be an outsider, she knows which side to fight for and doesn't hesitate to get stuck into the battle for Piggy Island! I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those expert sword skills!

They say every cloud has a silver lining, and on Piggy Island this is quite literary true! You'll often see Windblade flying though the clouds at supersonic speeds, doing loop-the loops and barrel rolls. When she sees some blue sky, she sometimes skywrites rude messages to the Eggbots!

Windblade's weapon unleashes a trio of superfast, unstable balls of energy. The projectile's unstable nature causes them to repulse upwards! Windblade has expert depth perception and knows just how to sling these projectiles, so don't worry about hitting what you're aiming at.

When shooting towers, make sure to aim higher up than usual. If you aim too low the projectiles might hit the floor before they get to the target.

Ratchet
As the Autobird's chief medical officer, it's Ratchet's job to patch up any injuries. But for some reason ever since he teamed up with the intense, silent, staring Terence the number of patients coming to see him has dropped right off... maybe it's something in Terence's bedside manner?

Commom transformer medical problems include "Headmaster Headaches", "Energon Eruptions", and the dreaded "Losing the Instructions So You Can't Change Mode Anymore".

Ratchet has always been a healer and never gets to try to be a warrior, so he's secretly quite enjoying walking in Terence's shoes (that is if terence wore shoes, or had feet). Now he gets to mend his fellow transformers and also blow stuff up! Boom! Smash! Another Boom!

I guess we'll never know if Terence is also enjoying being teamed up with Ratchet... Speak to me Terence, buddy! No? Okay, one stare for yes, two stares for no....

Ratchet fires a laser up into the sky, whoch blasts the target from above, Even better, this laser will keep going dpwn past the first thing it makes contact with, so you can bring death from above... y'know, like a mechanic!

Tips

 * Ratchet, unlike Terence's other characters, is able to hit missiles and pigs with no problem, since he has an electric laser instead of a heatwave.


 * Aim for the side of structures instead of directly in the middle of them. Burning through an armored pig will use up your weapon time, and if there are many blocks in the middle, it's best to start outside and work your way in.

Ricochet
Ricochet is one of the best sharpshooters of all Autobirds.

Drift

EggBots
If the player intercepts a level, one of the Eggbots may appear in the player's path, infront of him. They can shoot them for coins. They are the de facto main antagonists of Angry Birds Transformers.

Dark Megatron
Megatron is finding his new body tricky to get used to. He's always had Minion Pigs carry him around, so suddenly having arms and legs is all a bit confusing.

At least his new legs have caterpillar tracks for feet, so he can trundle around Piggy Island in comfort and style.

A fine, noble, brave and selfless ruler, Megatron leads the Deceptihogs in their never-ending quest for the Eggs.

Megatron is obsessed with getting his trotters on the EggSpark and all its Energon. If that means he needs to work with the Autobirds for a while then so be it!

Megatron's weapon is enormously powerful and hits a huge area, so there's almost nothing that can stand up to him. Anything that isn't instantly destroyed gets sucked into the black-hole and then dropped on the floor!

The trick with Megatron is learning to use his firepower and toughness to overcome his slow speed. Too many targets at once + his slow rate of fire = trouble!

Ultimate Megatron
At least his new legs have caterpillar tracks for feet, so he can trundle around Piggy Island in comfort and style.

A fine, noble, brave and selfless ruler [also, he's totally not ordering me to say this], Megatron leads the Deceptihogs in their never-ending quest for the Eggs. One day, Autobirds! One day they'll win!

Megatron is obsessed with getting his trotters on the EggSpark and all its Energon. If that means he needs to work with the Autobirds for a while then so be it!

Tips

 * Starscream's ray shots immediately stun enemies, like a fully-charged electroblast. Use this to one-shot any airborne enemies.
 * Also use it to temporarily knock out pigs and destroy blocks to kill them
 * When the null ray hits its target, the target will take damage over time. However, you are better off shooting it because lasting damage isn't that strong.
 * Note that Starscream does NOT disable falling monoloths, but he can disable walking mortar towers.

Energon Starscream
Thanks to Soundwave's experiments, Starscream has been infused with the power of Energon.

Being transformed has made life much more fun for this Pig! Now he doesn't get ordered to do stupid stuff by King Pig. Instead he gets ordered to do stupid stuff by Megatron.s.

Unfortunately Starscream is a mix of cunning, intelligence and skill crossed with the ultimate stupidity of a Minion pig..

Starscream was born to lead the Deceptihogs, it's just annoying that Megatron doesn't seem to understand this! No matter how cunning Starscream's schemes are, they never seem to quite work - and for some reason Megatron forgives his treacherous backstabbing.

Starscream's weapon never overheats or needs to reload so there's absolutely no reason to stop firing!

Like all Energon characters, Starscream's Energon overcharged weapon is enormously powerful, but because Energon is so volatile he takes a lot more damage, too! With Energon characters you really need to watch out for incoming threats and transform to dodge. Luckily, Starscream has the speed to outrun most enemies.

Thundercracker
The EggSpark's arrival may have driven most of the Minion Pigs on the island crazy, but a few were lucky enough to avoid it. And among those, one brave, noble Pig became Thundercracker.

One of the elite 'Seeker Pigs' alongside Starscream, Thundercracker isn't too committed to the war - he just loves to fly! And if he gets to unleash his devastating sonic boom that's even better.

Thundercracker may not be too bright, but he doesn't have a care in the world. He finds everything funny, especially if it's another Pig being squashed, blown up or zapped.

Thundercracker's weapon doesn't do loads of damage but it fires extremely quickly, never overheats and never reloads. It's the perfect weapon for a Minion Pig - if it moves, shoot it! If it doesn't move shoot it anyway!

Thundercracker isn't massively tough, but he's really fast, so use that to run from threats.

Soundwave
Soundwave is a mix of super-loyal second-in-command and devious manipulator. No-one knows if they can trust him.

Soundwave is always lurking in the background, using his enhanced audio receptors to listen in and spy on all sorts of conversations. He stores all those juicy secrets away, using them at just the right moment to blackmail and cheat.

As a combination of super-smart manipulator and Piggy Island's top chef, Soundwave has been experimenting with Energon blocks. These powerful but quite explodey lumps of pure energy have been showing up since the EggSpark appeared, and Soundwave hopes to use them in his cunning schemes. Perhaps an army of Energon overcharged minions?

Matching his cunning use of audio, Soundwave's weapon fires 'sonic waves.' They're not super-powerful or fast firing, but they spread out as they travel. So if you aim carefully, Soundwave's shots can take out a whole mass of targets in one hit. Make sure you target the centre of towers, especially if there are lots of ice or wooden blocks!

His Energon overcharged weapon is enormously powerful, but Energon is volatile, so he takes a lot more damage, too!

Energon Soundwave fires two consecutive sound blasts at a time, but to balance that out, he takes longer to reload. You can hit two targets at once this way. Try timing your shots so you take everything out and reload to finish enemies off.

Lockdown
Other Transformers are as strong or dangerous as him, but Lockdown is just plain mean. Absolutely no-one gets in his way, and even the other Deceptihogs fear him.

Lockdown likes his reputation and uses it to cause arguments between the other Deceptihogs.

He loves to make blueprints for strange contraptions, but because his instructions are terrible, they never work.

A combination of high rate-of-fire and his sheer speed means he can take on most situations and come out on top.

You need to watch out for his weapon's reload time (there's no way to fire once he's started reloading), and use vehicle mode to escape bigger enemies. Actually, he's so fast as a vehicle that you need to be careful you don't zoom past all the juicy targets!

Bludgeon
His reputation, skill and cunning would make him the perfect leader of the Deceptihogs, except for the crybaby tantrums he throws when things don't go his way.

But if you think it's confusing, spare a thought for poor Megatron. Suddenly there's several of him! Of course they all look suave, rugged and handsome... actually, maybe it's not so bad!

Bludgeon's weapon fires a spread of shots, making him highly effective against missiles and flying and falling enemies - they just don't have room to dodge out of the way.

If you take out the right blocks, Bludgeon is excellent at knocking down towers, but he's not so effective against tough enemies.

Brawl
Brawl is a soldier, plain and simple. He loves to get out there and cause mayhem - blasting everything in sight with his cannon. Sure, he's a long way from being the smartest Deceptihog, but he doesn't care.

Brawl leaves the planning to lesser Deceptihogs - he knows that his power and strength is all he needs to win.

Brawl worries that his position at the top of the Deceptihogs is precarious. It's not that he's paranoid, but he can feel the others waiting for their chance, watching him all the time, sneaking up behind him.

Brawl's weapon fires two shots in quick succession, but then takes time to reload. Timing your shots and the reload wait is key getting the best results with him.

If you're really quick, you can tap twice per attack to make each of his two shots hit a different target. This can absolutely destroy towers with ice blocks in them!

Soundblaster
Soundblaster is a reborn, more powerful version of Soundwave. He's just as sneaky and devious but is stronger and tougher, and comes in a cool, black color scheme.

Megatron may be leader of the Deceptihogs right now, but Soundblaster is just waiting for the right moment. He's calm, cunning, and makes a mean soufflé - what more does a leader need?

As a more powerful form of Soundwave, the same tactics apply. Soundblaster is excellent at knocking down towers or dealing with groups of flying pigs, but he's less effective against tough, single enemies.

His weapon can cause mass devastation, especially when the screen is full of block towers, so use his vehicle mode to get into position and cause chaos!

Galvatron
Galvatron is the most powerful Deceptihog and he knows it. He's driven by a need to conquer everyone and everything.

Galvatron answers to no-one, and believes that only he has the power and authority to lead the Deceptihogs. Not sure how Megatron is going to react to all this, but I'm guessing it's not going to be good.

Of course there are the EggBots to deal with first. Not because they're transforming Piggy Island, but because the EggBots can lead Galvatron to the EggSpark...

Galvatron's weapon is incredibly powerful but focused on a single point, so all that power is wasted if you use it on ice or wooden blocks. Aim for stone blocks or the most dangerous enemy on-screen first, then mop up the rest of the puny targets.

If it moves Galvatron can destroy it, and if it doesn't move... he can still destroy it.

Shockwave
Shockwave is as big and powerful as Megatron, and the two have often 'argued' over who should lead the Deceptihogs. Of course that's all sorted now because they're both joined by King Pig! Glory to the pigs! It's time to rise up and against the Angry Birds! Wait, no, we're working with the Birds to get the Eggspark aren't we? Wow, that could have been embarrassing.

Shockwave is 100% driven by cold, unfeeling logic, and will do whatever it takes to complete his mission.

Unfortunately, he's been joined by King Pig.

King Pig is 100% NOT driven by logic, but he will do whatever it takes to get the eggs. As long as whatever it takes is him sitting around while the minion pigs rush around doing the work. Well, he is the king, right?

Shockwave's gun fires a powerful energy beam which not only damages the target, but will continue through it to whatever is behind!. You can use this to ignite hidden TNT blocks or hiding pigs without destroying what's in your way.

The gun will overheat if fired too often, so make sure to pick your targets carefully.

This Deceptihog, who resembles a black-and-purple recolor of Minion Pig as Starscream, used to appear when an Autobird or Deceptihog summons him to perform an Energon Airstrike (now performed when the Strikebot is activated). He also used to have the power to destroy every events you request with the power of your gems. "Skywarp Attack" been removed in Halloween update. In another update, he was made a playable character. Because of this, if strikebot is used, a Minion colored like a generic Seeker (he sports a unique color scheme none of the named seekers have) will deliver Energon Airstrikes instead.

Skywarp's weapon is a non-stop firing gun that launches Incendiary rockets. Blast a wood block about three times to make sure other blocks burn down.

Astrotrain
This Deceptihog (depicted as a purple-and-gray spaceship that turns into a train after landing and vice versa) is responsible for transporting both Autobirds and Deceptihogs to and from areas that were roboticized by the Eggbots. Sometimes Astrotrain will drop other Autobirds or Deceptihogs to assist the player's avatar. If said avatar reaches the end, other Transformers will be waiting outside Astrotrain on the other side before boarding him and flying away. If you lose all you health resulting in you failing the level, Astrotrain will fly in and beam the beaten-up Autobird or Deceptihog away. However, you may continue playing if you use 10 gems. In more recent updates, Astrotrain now has a Deceptihog symbol on his train cab that's scratched out and replaced with a smiley face to show that the Autobirds and Deceptihogs are teaming up to stop the Eggbots and save their island. He and Professor Pig are the only ones who can't be playable, and therefore don't transform. Astrotrain doesn't have a pig head! It's revealed in Energon Lockdown's cutscene that Astrotrain doesn't have a robot mode, as he is shown performing various activities while standing on top of very skinny legs.

Professor Pig
Professor Pig is a Deceptihog who is responsible for using resources harvested by the various Transformers during a mission and turning them into powerups called "Energonicons" using a special machine hidden beneath Hog Head Mountain (depicted here as a giant metal dome). He is the only Deceptihog that doesn't have an altmode, instead being based on Dr. Henry Arkeville, a mad scientist affiliated with the Decepticons in the G1 cartoon, merely having his entire forehead covered in metal. His lab is unlocked after you have freed Heatwave.

Pigbots
The main enemies of the games, these are basically Bad Piggies that were turned into robots by the Eggbots that aren't Deceptihogs. Although at least one of them became Starscream, many of them are basically robotic Minion Pigs who've betrayed the Deceptihogs and are attacking them and the Autobirds. Defeating Pigbots can allow the rescued Transformers to try and rescue other Autobirds and Deceptihogs. But not all of the minion pigs became pigbots. Some lived their lives as normal pigs hidden away from the Eggbots, and two of them became Starscream and Thundercracker.

Regular Pigbots

These enemies are the most basic and common type of enemies. Most wield laser weapons and will shoot at the player upon sight. Others simply bounce around and/or stare at the player. They can easily be defeated in a few shots or by causing them to fall from great heights by destroying their towers, as mentioned above. Some Pigbots wear helmets, and can withstand more damage. Pigbots' health increases on harder difficulties.

There are 6 regular pigbots (note that these are not official names):
 * Normal- just laughs and does nothing. Typical


 * Helmet pig- shoots lasers in random directions because his helmet is over his eyes.


 * Shooter- fires a normal laser.


 * Missile pig- fires a slow-moving missle that does high damage, but is easy to dodge.
 * Bazooka pig- fires two rounds of 4 lasers
 * Sniper pig- rapidly fires a small laser that does not do much damage, but always reaches its target.

Flying Pigbots

These enemies appear as regular pigs with a propeller attached to them. Some also wear helmets, giving them more health than those without. Though incredibly weak, they are incredibly dangerous in numbers, especially on harder difficulties. They attack the player with laser weapons. If not defeated within a few seconds, they will self destruct onto the player, causing the player to lose health. They will also self destruct immediately when the player is in vehicle form. This attack can be incredibly dangerous on higher difficulties. However, on the bright side, these enemies can be defeated with one to two shots (three to four on hard difficulties). Shots from regular Pigbots can also deplete these enemies' health as well and defeat them. Energon EMP Stunners come in handy to take down these enemies when in numbers. Energon Shields are also very effective against numbers of flying Pigbots, especially when using characters who cannot directly attack them, such as Heatwave or Sentinel Prime.

Falling Pigbots

These enemies appear as pigs attached to balloons wielding fireworks. They attempt to slowly float down onto the player, causing the player to lose health if they successfully collide into him. They are quite durable, however, an easy way to take them down is to shoot their balloon, causing them to fall and pop instantly.

Sharkticon Pigbots (Sharktihogs)

As their names suggest, these are Pigbots that dress up like sharks that jump out of the water and start chasing your Transformer. They appear in Cobalt Plateaus events and they rarely appear in South Beach events.

Other Pigs
Unicron Pig

Unicron pig appears only in challenge events. When you see him, there is a long bar on the screen. He has a shield surrounding him and you can only shoot him when his shield is down. He fires pigs that are on fire. Unicron pig (when shot dead) will leave the screen in flaming scars. However draining his healthbar can be impossible especially when dealing with Flying Pigs, Morter Towers, Monoliths, and other obstacles.
