Transformations (Angry Birds Transformers)

Transformers Characters are characters seen in Angry Birds Transformers.The birds and pigs are based on the Transformers characters in G1.

Autobirds

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. Yeah, okay, so nobody's perfect!

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. Man, he's so cool!

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... but, they're destroying everything and must be stopped! Aargh! My brain!

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 keep firing!

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

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! Wait for it... Aaaany minute now...

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! Also, what's life without a little adventure? Amiright? Let's go!

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. Zoom!

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! Raargh! Boom! Splat! Aaiiee!

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. Raargh! More raarghs!

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! Look at him, he's so cool! But don't mention his stubby little dinosaur arms - he hates that.

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 - might be a good time to transform and flee!

Heatwave
Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird is absolutely huge, but where Grimlock is loud and destructive, Heatwave is still and silent... and 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 a giant, red Ninja. No-one knows how he does it, but it really is quite creepy!

Heatwave may seem gruff and grumpy, but if you take the time to look underneath you'll find... that he really is gruff and grumpy! But look under THAT and you'll see that he's dedicated to caring for his team and is absolutely focused on the mission, But look under THAT and there's lots and lots more gruff grumpiness. Lighten up there, fella!

His weapon is amazingly powerful against towers and slow enemies, but it takes a loooong time to fire, so it's best to transform and drive away from airborne enemies. Calling 'See you later, losers!' as you go is optional (but funny).

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
Stella stars as Arcee, one of the main protagonists in Angry Birds Transformers. She is yet to appear but promotional images suggest she will be added in future updates.

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.

Jazz loves Piggy Island's culture, especially music and dancing. His favorite dance moves include the 'Blaster Boogie,' the 'Slingshot Shuffle' and the ... 'Energon... ShaWhoop... DeDoo?' Yeah, okay, so I made that last one up.

Being transformed by the EggSpark hasn't changed Jazz's love of candy. In fact, [shh, whisper it], 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... unless there's candy in the area. Then it's CANDY RAMPAGE!

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. You can't shoot everything, dude! Just be cool.

Sentinel Prime
Sentinel Prime is so big and powerful he can (literally) 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.

Stop staring at me! He's still staring isn't he? I can feel his eyes boring into my very soul. No wonder the Pigs find him so terrifying...

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! Bwahaha! So many shiny, shiny Coins!

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... no, wait, to the Pigs... no, hang on, they're not the bad guys here either... Take the fight to the EggBots! Yeah! Grr!

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.

If that means he has to work with the Deceptihogs for a while that's what he'll do. Of course, once the island is safe it's time for a new mission: Operation Splat Those pigs!

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. Are you ready, soldier? Yeah? High-five! Yeah!

EggBots
The Eggs stars as The EggBots, the main antagonists in Angry Birds Transformers. It is unknown why the Eggbots are antagonists, as they are the birds' main priority in most installments of the series.

If the player intercepts a level, the Eggbot may appear in the player's path, infront of him. They can shoot them for coins.

Ultimate 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. Out of the way! Supreme Ruler coming through!

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!

Warning: Variant characters are for expert players! If they complete an Event they earn loads of bonus Coins, but if they fail they get... nothing. Ouch!

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!

Energon Starscream
Thanks to Soundwave's experiments, Starscream has been infused with the power of Energon. Combining Starscream's 'highly strung' personality with Energon's explosiveness has been... Unstable? Fiery? Explodey!

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... which is much better... because of... reasons.

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

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. Every. Single. Time.

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. Zooooooom!

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.

Being transformed has been great for Thundercracker - he has arms! And legs! He can clap! And pick his nose! And dance!

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. Boom!

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! Just keep firing! Zapzapzap! Kaboom! Yaaay!

Thundercracker isn't massively tough, but he's really fast, so use that to run from threats (then blast them in the back!).

Soundwave
Soundwave is a mix of super-loyal second-in-command and devious manipulator. No-one knows if they can trust him! Spoilers: They can't.

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. Ooh, sneaky!

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? Or a plate of Energon infused cakes? Hmm... it's not the cake one, is it?

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!

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. Brr... scary!

Lockdown likes his reputation and uses it to cause arguments between the other Deceptihogs. Wow, he really is mean!

Lockdown is freakishly strong AND has an incredibly bushy moustache. Are these things related to each other? No, probably not.

He loves to make blueprints for strange contraptions, but because his instructions are terrible, they never work. Automatic Moustache Pruner? A failure. Long Distance Energon Energizer? Another failure. Never give up, Lockdown Pig! Never give up.

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
The sinister, skull-faced Bludgeon is a master of martial arts, including 'Snout Fu,' 'Hog Chi' and the fearsome and deadly 'Pork Chops.'

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. Let me tell you, if you haven't seen a skull-faced robot pig throwing a tantrum then you haven't lived!

So... Bludgeon is the one that transforms? But, no, Megatron can transform too. So, Brawl is the one who changes into a tank? No, wait, they all do that. It's so confusing!

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 simle. 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! Victory WILL be his! Bwahahaha!

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... Brr! Sorry, that got a little dark, didn't it? Anyway, it turns out that Brawl is totally right - several of the Deceptihogs would love to take control!

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?

Soundblaster's chest panel can flip open like an old style cassette player [remember those?]. The compartment behind is supposed to be used to store Soundblaster's miniature cronies, but much to his annoyance, Megatron often uses it to make toasted sandwiches. Mmm, toasty!

Soundblaster's vehicle form has a rockin' sound system. Rockin'? Is that what the kids are saying these days? Radical!

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 as smart and strong as Megatron, but he's also a bit... err, 'eccentric.' And by eccentric I mean paranoid, violent and liable to blast you into molecular... bits? What do molecules break into? Bits? We're going with bits!

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

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.

Skywarp
This Deceptihog, who resmbles a black-and-purple recolor of Minion Pig as Starscream, only appears when an Autobird or Deceptihog summons him to perform an Energon Airstrike. He and Astrotrain are the only two Deceptihogs that aren't playable and therefore don't transform. His scream is actually that of the Freckled Pig's.

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. Some Pigbots simply sit inside structures made from wood, glass, and/or stone, others fire lasers at either the Autobirds and/or Deceptihogs, causring them to slowly lose health, and others have helicopter-like rotors taht allow them to fly and try to attack any Autobird and/or Deceptihogs they see before finally charging at them. Defeating Pigbots can allow the rescued Transformers to try and rescue other Autobirds and Deceptihogs.

Astrotrain
This Deceptihog 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. He and Skywarp are the only two Deceptihogs that aren't playable, and therefore don't transform. Unlike Skywarp, who is a Minion Pig like Starscream, however, Astrotrain doesn't have a pig head!
