Angry Birds Transformers - Heroic robot battles

Experience a thrilling 3D shooting adventure where Angry Birds and Transformers meet! The EggSpark has caused the eggs to evolve into wild robots that are wreaking havoc on Piggy Island. But who can save the day? Autobirds, ROLL OUT!

Have you ever encountered an extraterrestrial robot version of an Angry Bird? Meet the AUTOBIRDS! This fearless group stars Red as Optimus Prime, Chuck as Bumblebee, and you'll soon get to know the rest. Armed with lasers, they also have the ability to transform into vehicles. Plus, they have arms and legs – that's a first!

However, the valiant Autobirds can’t tackle the EggBots alone – they must unite with their long-time adversaries, the DECEPTIHOGS (similar to Decepticons but with a distinct odor). Can these rival factions cooperate and set aside their enmity? Right...

A new take on Angry Birds

These days, Transformers conjures up images of a critically-panned but highly successful movie franchise. I'm pleased to report that Angry Birds mostly distances itself from the movies and goes back to the roots of the 1980s cartoon, complete with a retro VHS-style opening. In it, The EggSpark has landed on Earth and turned the eggs into crazed robots. The birds have transformed into the Autobirds and must eventually team up with their arch-rivals, the Deceptihogs, to defeat the eggs.

For the most part, the game is Angry Birds in characters, objects, and name only. Gameplay is completely different to Angry Birds Star Wars or Angry Birds Stella. Angry Birds Transformers is set on a tropical island with levels represented by different locations. Each level consists of running through an area and firing at your enemies until you are rescued by your allies. Throughout the levels you must collect coins and try to take out as many pigs as possible.

As you progress, you can unlock more areas of the island and rescue Autobirds and Deceptihogs. As it is a freemium game, there will be some waiting around for levels to become unlocked and upgrades to be completed.

There's also an interesting social aspect where you can call allies into levels to help you. The game offers up random allies or you can sync the game with your Facebook friends list.

Remember the 80s?

The graphics in Angry Birds Transformers are excellent. Characters are detailed enough to all have their own unique personality. That's especially impressive when the Deceptipigs are mostly drab grey and green colors while the Autobirds are all colored differently.

The tone of the game puts itself proudly in the 1980s. This is most noticeable in the theme tune which sounds something like a glam metal song. An instrumental version of it plays throughout the game.
