Telepods.

Basically when you buy the figures they have a little QR code on the bottom of them, put them on the Telepod then place that on your phone/tablet and it scans the QR code and "teleports" the figure into the game.

"Why?" not "How?"

Because you bought the figure. Is that better?

Is it so hard to believe that someone could find it confusing that a guy who's supposed to be a Megatron analogue was willing to come to the rescue of a guy who's suppose to be an Optimus Prime analogue, for seemingly no other reason than that the Optimus bird was in trouble and needed his help?

Not when it doesn't make sense, hence my original asking.

If you or anyone else doesn't know, then that's fine.

If they hadn't includeed the clip about putting a figure on an Ipad, I can understand why the bad guy helping the good guy would be confusing, but they show us scanning the figure in, so it in effect becomes no different than the way the Lego Star Wars series could allow you to customize and play as alternate characters. Teh Megatron you see in the end is NOT the Megatron of the game, its a seperate, clone character of Megatron. its the Megatron of the toy. In all likelyhood, its possible to see a Megatron vs. Megatron matchup in this way.

Does this answer your question, Sabr? If not, I don't think we're understanding the question?

How much do these posters cost? I'd love to get them for my boy, 5, who loves Angry Birds.

Seems like a memory-conservation issue? That would be a nice feature though.

Why?! WHY DO I WANT THESE?!?!

Soundblaster?! Generation 2 Megatron?! Who'da thought this line of all lines would be throwing in such fanwank?

Burn wrote:hmmmm ... not overly impressed, hopefully we get something more "traditional" just heads.

That's what all angry birds about just heads with different looks they don't mainly focus on body's actually transform nice touch wasn't expecting it if game is any good may buy few

They all seem to use AoE One-Step Bumblebee's transformation scheme.

Fellow Seibertron.com user Sabrblade has spotted a Sunbow styled trailer for the upcoming Angry Birds Transformers crossover spanning comic-line-toys-videogames - which even uses Vince DiCola's music! Check out further information at the official site, and below, and take a look at the embedded clip.

Birds disguised as robots in disguise!

The mysterious EggSpark has crashed onto Piggy Island, transformerizing everything in its path! Even the eggs have become robots, and are running riot across Piggy Island! Can the Autobirds and Deceptihogs put their differences aside and join forces to get those wild EggBots under control? Yeah right…

Angry Birds Transformers rolls out October 15!
