- "I'm Red! The mighty defender of the nest! The smasher of pigs! The castle-busting wrecking ball! I don't freeze!"
- — Red in Angry Birds IDW comics
Red J. Bird (The bird, not the color) is the angriest bird you’ll ever meet, why would he be so grumpy? you might ask, well he is what you would describe as the opposite of carefree, if there’s something that is not perfect to him, he will try his hardest to make it so, and if can’t make it the way he wants, that is when his rage breaks out, so if you’re ever going to hang out with him, try to give him a good first impression, it’s REQUIRED. Being the leader of his flock isn’t exactly a easy responsibility for Red, especially when he has to make sure each flock member’s eccentric personalities are all focused on keeping the eggs from the Bad Piggies, well... not that he’s terribly stable himself with his short temper.
He maybe a hot-head most of the time, but in some cases, he can be a really nice bird to hang around with, just don’t ruin it by doing anything that makes him angry, like making fun of his overly serious personality, Oh, did we mention how much he hate pigs? because he sure won’t shut up about it, in fact, ever since the first time the pigs stole the eggs, Red has developed a instinct where he would quickly go rage mode if he saw pigs, or at least if he THINKS that he saw pigs, and his instinct would usually make him body slam right into his targets, smarter pigs would know better than to take him on face-to-face.
Games
Angry Birds
Red is the starter bird type available early on in the game, and subsequent Chinese versions. He doesn't have any special abilities outside of squeaking bird noises and he is not super effective against any specific materials, unlike most birds however, he is really bouncy, making it possible for players to perform bank shots with this particular bird, he is also great with toppling down loose vertical structures since he doesn't just crush them upon impact.
Angry Birds Seasons
Red returns in Angry Birds Seasons as the starter bird once again. His gameplay is identical to his ability in the original game. However in the Invasion of the Egg Snatchers, he plays as the Telebird a special powerup where as the name suggests, when you touch the screen, he will slow down until you choose a determined place. After choosing it, Telebird will teleport to the place you wanted, destroying what it's near him, also, he will attract things to the place.
Angry Birds Rio
Red returns in Angry Birds Rio as the starter bird yet again, complete with the same gameplay as the other games. Red, along with the other Angry Birds, were smuggled by Nigel and was taken to Rio de Janerio, Brazil but were eventually freed with the help of Blu and Jewel. Red later came back to visit Blu and Jewel in the Rio 2 storyline, to stop the remaining marmosets and any other obstacles within the levels.
Most notably, the Rio 2 segments redesigned Red to make him match to his appearance in Angry Birds Toons and have a special power-up called Samba Burst. Here, he will be wearing a fruit hat, and will have a happy expression. When he collides onto any surface, he will make all the surrounding objects shake and launch them.
Angry Birds Space
After Red went through a wormhole, he was transformed into Super Red! However, he still is the starter character but his ability is the same, but given a brand new makeover. He accompanies with Ice Bird to not only get the Eggs back, but also collect the powerful Eggtroids.
Angry Birds Friends
In Angry Birds Friends, Red appears as the starter character YET AGAIN........ As always, he has the same strength as in past games.
Bad Piggies
Red appears as an enemy in the spin-off game, Bad Piggies specifically in special levels of Flight in the Night, Tusk 'til Dawn, and The Road to El Porkado. In these levels, Red would try to attack the player and try to get the egg back, due to no avail.

Red is the starter character, AGAIN.... though he can also appear as an opponent in some races and Versus (the latter only in 1.0.0). In gameplay, Red has his own Special Power, which is a boost that will temporarily increase his speed leaving a trail of red feathers behind him.
Angry Birds Epic
Voice Actor: Antti Ilmari Pääkkönen
Red is the starter character yet again, help me from this suffering, where he and Chuck were minding their business as usual, until they were attacked by hordes of Minion Pigs led by Wizpig and Prince Porky. The pigs managed to defeat the birds in no effort, stole their eggs and their personal equipment, and kidnapped Chuck. Furious, Red ventured through the South Beach and rescued his yellow friend. At the Cobalt Plateaus, they got one egg and found Matilda crying because her garden was destroyed by Porky. The white bird soon after joined their group. The flock then chashed Porky through the Golden Fields, until the pig used his air balloon to escape to Desert Island, whcih supposed a problem for the flock as they could not cross the Limestone Lagoon that separated Pig Island and Desert Island. Fortunately, Bomb came in with his Bird Ship, onl for him to be attacked by a Pirate, who stole the ship's rudder. After retrieving the rudder and rescuing Jake, Jay and Jim, who had been surroundered by the prince and some troops, Red and his comrades managed to retrieve the second egg on the castle.
Later, the flock passed through the Pirate Coast, the Slingshot Woods and the Great Cliffs, before going to the Star Reef to rescue the third egg. Back at the Great Cliffs, Red, Chuck and Bomb were fooled by the pigs and kidnapped. While Chuck and Bomb were fred, the cage Red was in was taken to the sky by Prince Porky's airship. However, the other birds, with the help of Professor Pig, managed to build their own Airship and rescue the red bird. At the Snowy Peak, they got the fourth egg and ventured through the Islands in the Sky, the Pumpkin Plateau, and the Square Forest.
Right outside of the entrance of Pig City, where the fifth and final egg was, Red's flock found themselves unable to continue with their adventure due to the walls and catapults blocking their way though. By Professor Pig's advice however, they went to the Moorlands and got a Submarine, which they used to pass through a mine field and enter the city. There, they had a duel against Wizpig. Later, they broke through the castle and got the fifth egg.
In a sudden turn of events, Wizpig revealed his true colors to the others and used his magic to get the egg and King Pig's crown before going to the Hog Head Mountain and make himself a Magic Shield to protect himself there. The flock followed him and managed to destroy the shield by defating the enemies that protected it. Red and his comrades had a definitive showdown against Wizpig, who was aided by Lefty and Righty. However, the pig was defeated. With his last strengths, Wizpig used his own magic to transform into Demonic Wizpig, a state so powerful that no bird could defeat him. However, with the help of Prince Porky, who gave Demonic Wizpig the final strike, the flock got the fifth egg and King Pig's crown. The group then went back to Pig city and gave the king his crown, with him thanking them.
Angry Birds Stella
Red doesn't physically appear in the game, however he did appear as a painting in Willow's painting and appeared on the Game Console object.
Angry Birds Transformers
Voice Actor: Antti Ilmari Pääkkönen
Soon after Piggy Island was Cyberformed, all the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were captured and frozen, leaving only Red as Optimus Prime to save the day, and rescue them.
As they level up, all versions of Red undergo slight physical modifications. His chest windows go from two large windshields to two smaller ones flanked by even smaller side windows, his pelvis gains small colored decorations, his legs gain metal sidings, and his helmet gains additional crests as well. Additionally, Red gains a small Powermaster in engine mode attached to his grill .- Squad: Rescue Bots
- Mission Type: Intelligence
- Unlock Type: Start the game!
Optimus Prime is a charismatic leader of the Autobirds 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. Despite his temper, 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. The very first character you use in the game, but he's not really specialized, having middle-of-the-road stats and attacks overall. In fact, early on, he's kind of... mediocre. But he has a huge number of accessories, which can turn him into a tower-disintegrating menace with the right combinations.| Accessory | Body Part | Rarity | Gem Cost | Base Effect | Notes |

Simply a white repaint (which is oddly fitting) of the Optimus Prime model, Ultra Magnus has a rapid fire purple blaster similar to Lockdown's, which must be reloaded periodically. While starting out fairly weak, the rapid-fire nature allows it to knock buildings down with well-placed shots and is great at shooting down incoming missiles.

An energon-fueled variant of Optimus Prime, this version is unlocked after you've sunken more time than you should have into the game. Energon Optimus Prime also gets a survivability buff, due to the fact that restoring cyber-formed objects can heal an Energon boosted character, but he also takes more damage. His Ion Blaster also gets amped up, with much larger projectiles that do more damage, but has to reload after three shots. Sounds too good to be true? Well, believe it. But Chuck doesn't care. He uses Energon Optimus Prime as a reading lamp.

Nemesis Prime was created by the Eggbots to fight the Autobirds and Deceptihogs. But this evil clone was not so evil, as Optimus Prime's and Red's heroic personalities overcame his initial purpose, and turned against his creators.
His anti-gravity shots can send pigs and unobstructed blocks up in the air. Though weak at first, subsequent upgrades make his weapon strong enough to rocket entire structures and surrounding objects to oblivion! But it deals moderately weak damage against individual enemies.
He was first available in 2015 as a limited-time Halloween offer bundled with a couple of Halloween accessories and 400 gems for a pricey $12. A year later, players could finally unlock him for free. Free from actual money that is. You would have to collect 6000 tokens to unlock him in the "Smashing Pumpkins" Halloween event. Or you could purchase the Exclusive Halloween Bundle for the even more expensive $24.99, which contains Nemesis Prime, 500 gems, and his most recent Jetpack accessory.- Squad: The Iconic Transformer

This golden Optimus Prime Bird has a very different weapon from the other Optimuses (Optimusses? Optimii?), an instant-hit tractor beam. Like with Grimlock Bird, this thin electric beam stays locked on target until the target is destroyed or you change aim, and is excellent for precision strikes and hitting fast-moving targets like missiles and flying Pigs. The beam does steady damage like Grimlock's electric breath, albeit weaker, but also pulls on whatever it hits. It's actually quicker to hit a Pig with a short blast and yank it off its perch than to whittle its health down with a sustained burst. The beam is much more effective on blocks, shattering glass and wood quickly, and will even break up stone in a second or two once sufficiently powered up. Use short, controlled bursts or quick sweeps to yank key blocks (or Pigs) out from towers and let the rest tumble.
Epic Optimus was first available in the 2015 Challenge Event "Chinese New Year", and is one of the most common Challenge Event characters to reappear. He could be unlocked (or upgraded) by Tokens earned in each day's event.As Blurr- Squad: Specialists
- Mission Type: TBA
- Unlock Type: Challenge Event prize (10000 Tokens)
Blurr is very different from the other incarnations of Red in the game. Instead of a truck, he is a car. A very fast car. And by very fast, I mean really really fast. He’s in fact so fast that every time you switch to vehicle mode, everything starts moving in slow motion! So wouldn’t Chuck have been a better choice to portray this character? Maybe...
His weapon is the same as the regular Optimus Prime, but instead of just one shot at a time he fires tons of shots at once, like a slow laser. The shots also ricochet upon impact, allowing you to really spread damage.
Blurr was originally available in the event of the same name for the well-known price of 10000 Tokens.

War has broken out on Piggy Island! The Autobirds now not only have to watch out for the Eggbots, they also have to fight the Deceptihogs, who (surprise surprise) turned against them! Optimus Prime has (obviously) been chosen as the right bot to lead the Autobirds in this legendary battle and now goes by the name of General Optimus Prime.
His weapon provides arcing yellow laser bullets. They are kind of weak, but after some upgrades they will get incendiary powers (similar to what some accessories do). This will make them a little stronger and destructive, but they are still not very effective against the good ol’ Mortar Towers.As Optimus Maximus- Squad: Combiners
- Mission Type: Firepower
- Unlock Type: Gem Purchase (750 or more), Challenge Event prize (10,000 Tokens)
Optimus Maximus is currently the only combiner with all components as individual characters in the game, comprising Optimus Prime, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Prowl, and...sometimes Rodimus.
Their weapon is a mixture of Optimus Prime's and Ironhide's weapons, firing two bolts followed by three beams. They also turn invisible from time to time for absolutely no good reason. This oddity comes from Mirage. It comes in handy sometimes, but it only lasts for about 2 to 3 seconds and there seems to be no way to activate this ability by hand.
Strangely, Optimus Maximus doesn't have a special attack, unlike Devastator, Superion and Menasor. At the time of this writing, the lack of a special ability will disable the transform button for other characters in a Spark Run if they are the first character.
Optimus Maximius was originally available in the challenge event of the same name, once AGAIN, for 10,000 tokens. Then again, the other Combiners are the same price.

Angry Birds POP!
Red first appeared in Angry Birds POP! as a limited edition character, not once, but twice! He was only available for a short period of time. He was then taken out of the game but he was still seen in one area of the map. Red, like all of the other characters that appears in the game, has his own special bubble that can be used when the player makes enough pairings. His pop, entitled the Rock Pop, will pop up to 4 bubbles/obstacles per level
It was only until since the cancellation of the Stella series, made it so that the game was changed to a regular Angry Birds game and all the Stella characters (excluding Stella and the Minion Pigs) were replaced to members of Red's flock. Red took what was originally 2 of Stella's sections, the "Drop the Pigs" and "Defeat King Pig" segments of the game. In both of these segments, the player is given a limited amount of bubbles and if he/she runs out, then he/she loses the levels.
He also had different outfits that Red would be like the Phantom Bird (for Halloween updates), Super Red Bird (to promote for World AIDS Day), and Christmas Red (for Christmas events)
Angry Birds Fight!
In Angry Birds Fight!, Red was the first out of six playable characters the player could choose to use. Other than being a playable character, he also appeared as an icon in the matching board. Like all of the other birds in the game, Red was customizable to the player's preference, and the player would be able to purchase costumes and weapons for Red with in-game currency.
In gameplay, the player could not play directly as Red; rather, they had to make him attack his enemy by till-matching various small birds. Matching three birds would have popped them out, and matching four or more would activate the specific bird's special ability. If four of Red's icons were matched, then random panels would be blocked out with wooden boxes on the opponent player's matching board.
Once the round was over, the two battling players began fighting, and the player's success would entirely be based on how many points they were able to gather.
Angry Birds 2
In Angry Birds 2, Red appears as the first playable character the player can use, making his first playable appearance in the very first level of the game. He can also be used in the Arena, as long as the game allows the player to use him. In addition, Red has his own daily event, named Red's Rumble, which can be played on Mondays.
In gameplay, Red can be used in any level as long as the player has a card of his. When tapping onto the screen when he is launched, he will make a small scream that will produce a short, red line. If a building is caught by that line, it will be pushed to the other side. This ability works better in tall, unstable buildings, and will not have much effect in structures that are well held. While Red can normally be used only once, filling the Destructometer can give the player a card with Red, allowing them to use him again. The amount of points Red can gather depends on his Bird Power, which can be leveled up by giving him enough feathers, upgrading the slingshot, etc.
Angry Birds World Tour
In Angry Birds World Tour, Red is a playable character who is first used in the first level of North America, and is a recurring character in the other episodes. Similar to past physics-based puzzle games, he has no ability when launched.
Angry Birds Ace Fighter
Red once again appeared in Angry Birds Ace Fighter as the icon and main character. He appeared in promotional material and trailers for the game.
Red's Description In-Game:
Red has outstanding leadership skills, but he is nervous all the time. He is liable to mistake the smallest sound as the enemy firing the first shot. He's even mistaken the wind blowing through the trees for the distant oink of the hostile pig.
Rovio announced that the game would be discontinuing due to adjustment of structure platform, as well as an expired contract with Siamgame. On September 6th, 2016, the game was removed from the Play and App stores and recharge was turned off, making the game nearly impossible to play. On October 10th, servers were shut down.
The gameplay was based on a Shoot em up style, with the player located at the bottom of the screen as the enemies fly downwards from the very top. Not much was known about Red's role specifically in the game. It was known that he was one of 4 different playable characters, and could be paired with different kinds of planes.
Angry Birds Blast!
In Angry Birds Blast!, Red is a non-playable character. In the game, various Reds were kidnapped and put in balloons. To free them, the player has to tap two or more balloons of the same colors that are connected. They can also use the Slingshot to free one single Red instantly. The Red birds appear in red-colored balloons.
Angry Birds Evolution
Red (labeled as Classic Red) is a character added to the game to promote the franchise's 10th Anniversary. He was formerly unplayable but was later added as an obtainable bird in events, along with his Master form.
Unlike other birds in the game, he is a classic version of a bird and doesn't have limbs.
Angry Birds Reloaded
In Angry Birds Reloaded, Red reappears as a playable character first used in the first level of Hot Pursuit. He has the same gameplay features as in the earliest games. However, he will do nothing if the screen is tapped when he is launched.
Fiction
Angry Birds Toons
Voice Actor: Antti Ilmari Pääkkönen
Red were installing the Slingshot on the top of a high mountain, but it began to topple over. Chuck saved it from falling, but in the process he accidentally pushed Red off the cliff and fell down. Chuck tried to save Red by making a pool, but ultimately used himself as Red's cushion after he missed the trajectory. Red was alright. However, the slingshot then fell off the mountain and supposedly crushed Chuck. Red believed Chuck was squashed, but then saw Chuck in a beach chair, and was perfectly fine leaving Red bewildered.(Chuck Time) One day when Red was guarding the eggs, he heard some noises and brought Chuck and Matilda to listen, but they didn't hear anything. Red then tells the other two birds that the eggs were holding baby cardinals who would go on to beat up the pigs for always abducting them. (Egg Sounds)

Angry Birds Transformers comics
After the Bad Piggies had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Red led his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. Chuck managed to foul up Red's attack plan, causing the Bad Piggies' building to collapse on top of the Flock while King Pig and his minions escaped. Despite Stella's insistence that they pursue the Bad Piggies, Red was more concerned with making sure that everyone was alright. As Red reprimanded Chuck for his bumbling, Stella pointed out that the Blues had flown off after the pigs on their own. Red led the search party to find the Blues, but the three little birds managed to find their way back on their own.
Though Red was confused by the Blues' babble about an "EggSpark" and "Deceptihogs", knowing that the eggs were still in danger was enough for him to start preparing another attack. Unfortunately, Chuck once more flew ahead of the group, compromising Red's plans. (Angry Birds Transformers issue 1) By the time Red caught up to Chuck, the EggSpark had transformed him and Hal into Bumblebee Bird and Grimlock bird, respectively. Scrutinizing his friends' new forms, he turned to Stella to explain to him what their strange new appendages were. ("Arms and legs," as it turns out.) Bumblebee Bird's new, more cautionary outlook to things only served to frustrate and confuse Red further. Eventually, Red was convinced that the rest of the Flock should grant themselves robotic bodies as well by touching the EggSpark. He was the last to do so, becoming Optimus Prime Bird after his upgrade. Along with a new form, Optimus Prime Bird gained a penchant for making long-winded inspirational speeches. He then ordered his troops to transform and roll out into action.
Upon catching up to the Deceptihogs, Optimus Prime Bird warned Megatron Pig that, though he did not want to fight, he would do so if the pig refused to hand over the eggs. His ultimatum became moot when Bumblebee Bird prematurely rushed into battle anyways, kicking off the scuffle. In the middle of the fight, the Flock's eggs sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be extremely hostile. Optimus Prime Bird was ready to continue his fight against Megatron Pig nonetheless, though his opponent called a time out so that he could take an incoming phone call. (Age of Eggstinction!) On the other end of the line, Starscream Pig informed his leader that the Eggbots had begun to run wild on Piggy Island, sowing chaos in their wake. This new development gave Optimus Prime Bird pause, leading him to agree to work with the Deceptihogs in order to stop the Eggbots' rampage. The alliance was a shaky one though, and Optimus Prime Bird soon found himself arguing with Megatron Pig once more on the battlefield. Optimus Prime Bird accused Megatron Pig of destroying civilizations for millions of years, to which a confused Megatron Pig responded that he only wanted to eat some eggs. Optimus Prime Bird was then talked down by Arcee Bird, and regained his bearings on the situation at hand. He then ordered Arcee Bird, Bluestreak Bird, Lockdown Pig and Drift Bird to go rescue Starscream Pig from the Eggbots while another squad would capture an egg for study. Both group eventually returned, their objectives achieved. As Optimus Prime Bird began observing the captured Eggbot, Starscream Pig warned the group that the island's transformation was spiraling out of control. (Revenge of the Fowlin'!) Despite the odds against them, and his ability to make inspiring speeches petering out, Optimus Prime Bird refused to give up hope. Thanks to Soundwave Pig's input on the situation, Optimus Prime Bird devised a plan to separate the EggSpark from the island, returning everything and everyone to normal in the process. He then led a mad dash towards the EggSpark while Bluestreak Bird fetched a giant slingshot to launch it off-planet. Thanks to everyone playing their part, Optimus Prime Bird finally came upon the EggSpark, only for Galvatron Pig to go berserk at that moment. While both Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig were distracted, Starscream Pig seized the opportunity to grab the EggSpark, intent to use it for his own selfish goals. Thankfully, Bumblebee Bird stepped in at the last moment, and launched both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark into outer space. As everything reverted to its initial state, the Flock discussed the day's events between them. Red expressed that he had never before looked as forward to a quiet day... unaware that nearby, a robotic cactus had just sprung to life and begun blasting away at the scenery. (Hard Boiled)

Commercial appearances
Angry Birds Transformers
Red got turned into Optimus Prime Bird by the power of the EggSpark. Initially clashing with Megatron Pig, the pair were interrupted by the Eggbots, who were cyberforming everything around them, creating big guns that shot at both Autobirds and Deceptihogs. Luckily, Red's new body was chock full of weaponry and he led the Autobirds and Deceptihogs to victory! (Angry Birds Transformers: Cinematic Trailer)
Optimus Prime Bird hitched a ride aboard Astrotrain, who dropped him off on a small island. Upon his arrival, he was pestered by a couple of Flying Pigbots. Both of them were disabled and left behind a few laser blasts later, and Optimus Prime Bird continued on his way. A Walking Mortar Tower proved too tough of an opponent for the Autobird to handle on his own, and he called upon Megatron Pig to help him out. The two of them together brought down their foe. Optimus Prime Bird then tried to shake Megatron Pig's hand, but he was "too slow," and Megatron Pig laughed at him. (Angry Birds Transformers Comic-Con Trailer)
When Optimus Prime Bird tried to show off how cool he was, the awesome score suddenly changed into some disco music. The confused Autobird tried his best to dance to the tune. (Red as Optimus Prime)
Megatron Pig and Optimus Prime Bird exchanged a friendly fist-bump as they drove to the EggSpark. Megatron Pig reached it first... and instead of helping Optimus Prime Bird up next to him, laughed in his face and kicked him down as the EggSpark upgraded him into Dark Megatron Pig! The big jerk then drove off! Optimus Prime Bird fetched Heatwave Bird and Jazz Bird to raid the Deceptihogs' headquarters. Upon their arrival, they found the Deceptihogs using the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. (Deceptihogs' Revenge)
Optimus Prime Bird ran a marathon across the countryside, meeting up with Megatron Pig, Arcee Bird and Airachnid Bird as they all completed their workouts. The four of them then jumped up in the air in a cheer. Freezeframe. (Arcee and Airachnid joins the team!)
Arcee Bird and Optimus Prime Bird were on the run from some Flying Pigbots when they came to a cliff edge. They tried to fight back, only to realize they were out of ammo! Thankfully, Bluestreak Bird showed up and helped them out! (Meet Bluestreak and Prowl!)
