The Angry Birds Transformer Toys were found at Canadian retail, at the Target in downtown Montreal (Alexis Nihon), Quebec. Each toy is 12.99 cdn $. These toys are based on the upcoming mobile game announced earlier this year, which merges both franchises. The trailer can be found here.

If anyone is curious to find them, they were located in the board game section due to their association with Jenga.

Is that cabover truck Galvatron?

[Optimum Supreme]

Looks like it could be. Pig's wearing what looks like g1 Galvy's helmet, and the truck looks like movie Galvy.

[Lockdownhunter]

Here's the back of the card for you to see which characters they are.

Site owner Seibertron is currently on location in New York, to bring us all news from the NYCC 2014 - but leading up to convention, he dropped by the Times Square Toys'R'Us store and spotted some additional Angry Birds Transformers toys to the ones we reported on from Canada! Check them out below.

[Optimizzy]

I wish my Toysrus were stocked like that.

[Siger]

Well that's the Times Square Toys R Us, of course it's going to look good. There are always tons of tourists going through the place. I doubt you want the prices of the toys in that Toys R Us though. Year of the Horse Optimus Prime was $160 and the deluxes are $20 something. So yeah, really jacked up...

[GuyIncognito]

I wish my Toysrus were stocked like that.

Have you ever been there? It LOOKS great on the surface, but it actually has a worse selection than your average TRU. Unless you're looking for shelfwarmers, which they have in spades. They carry a small (and crappy) selection, but they put 20 of every figure on the shelf so it looks nice.

[Siger]

Don't forget the 30% markup!

[Zeedust]

At least these transform, which puts them a step above the Hero Mashers and such.

[VonDoom]

I tire of hearing Americans complain about jacked up prices move to anywhere else in the world and no matter what your dollar value is to ours we pay much more you have nothing to complain about you have the cheapest price for transformers even with 'jacked up' prices

ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS TELEPODS 2014 PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

Autobirds, ‘roll out!’ The epic battle for Piggy Island has begun as two of the world’s largest and most popular entertainment brands join together to create the all-new ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS franchise.

The telepods thing is a good idea IMO.Just put a figure on the telepod and (you know this by now)
the character on the telepod will appear in your game.

My seven year old loved Bot Shots, Transformers and Angry Birds so this is a great meeting of the brands.I find it odd that TRU is the only one to pick it up.I guess all the over saturation of Angry Birds GO and Angry Birds Star Wars killed the brand.Oh well at least I know I can find them in one place.

Great! I'm tired of people who don't live in America telling Americans on how to behave. Mind your own business unless you'd like to tell me your country of origin (probably one without manners) so I can make snarky remarks about you.

The Angry Bird toys found earlier in this thread are also found at Target so the line as a whole is not exclusive, just some products.

The ones that actually transform seem to be the exclusives.

My apologies I realise now I generalised it to much as not all Americans complain about the price of Transformers but of the collectors who do complain the majority tend to be American based (which has more to do with the high ratio of American collectors to other countries) but a fact is a fact and not a snarky remark the forums here are full of people complaining about prices which are actually very cheap for example here in Australia (feel free to make snarky remarks about me now you know my country) $20.00 legends, $30.00 deluxe, $50.00 voyager and $100.00 leader prices vary with sales and such but this is the general amount and I have no problem paying this I understand prices change and If I have a problem with the price I won't buy it. I understand complaints about the figures themselves as the quality has dropped. Complaints on prices I find tiresome especially when it is complaining of a price which even after conversion (+ postage for those who import) still much less then the same item in other countries. I was not intending to be snarky and was not telling you how to behave merely expressing an opinion.

[ScottyP]

We're spoiled here in the US, it's true.

Anyway, I'm so on the fence with these toys. Not because they don't look fun, but because I know myself and worry that if I buy one and enjoy it then there's gonna be a whole shelf full of 'em, just like what happened with Bot Shots
