Grimlock, apparently.

His robot mode (which isn't pictured here) is based on Grimlock.

Anyone have any idea how Grimlock wound up as a motorcycle? It's certainly unexpected.

Shouldn't he be a giant car?

Funnily enough, this one was the biggest Grimlock toy for a few years until the Masterpiece came out:

Thanks to some recent trademark applications by Hasbro we know four of the character names from the upcoming Angry Bird Transformers mash-up. The names are as follows (you can view each application on the USPTO website by clicking the name):

GET IT? CUZ THEY ARE BIRDS AND PIGS?????

Wait I don't get it.

I really love the Transformers names except for Optimus Red. I mean, why couldn't he be named Birdimus Prime. It's a lot more logical. Just sayin'.

True dat. Something like...yeah, I got nothing. It's still kinda dumb.

I'll probably still get the game.

Ravenous Prime, if he's a raven.

ummm given that Optimus is the leader, and in Angry Birds the leader of the birds is called "Red" it's perfectly logical.

He can be called Redimus Prime or it's just that

by **Shuttershock** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 10:57 pm

Characters to be added: Grimlark, Sowndwave, Flyronhide, Swinedle, Hot Robin and Sowvatron.

"Optimus" is more synonymous with Transformers than "Prime"

Besides, when Angry Birds Transformers 2 comes out they can introduce a Rodimus Prime looking bird called Redimus.

Hey Batman, what do you think about crossing Angry Birds with Transformers?

And this is why Batman isn't in the moneymaking business.

Wait.

Hilariously enough, "Starsqueal" is the name I had in mind for a fanmade character- Starscream's little sister to be exact.

Check out below a couple of mirrored images from the Toys'R'Us website, with the Optimus Prime Bird Race Set ($29.99) and Energon Racers Pack ($19.99), both shipping in October. The listing also show the two redesigned faction symbols for the Autobirds and Deceptihogs.

Build - destroy - win! The Angry Birds Transformers toys put you in charge of your own bird-on-pig battles. And what could be better than high-flying birds and villainous pigs re-imagined as Transformers characters? Use the launchers to send your bird and pig racing down the 35-inch raceway! The loser crashes while the winner gets to change the Optimus Prime bird into a robot! It's easy to take your games online with the Telepods base, which lets you teleport your bird and pig into the Angry Birds Transformers app. Just put one of them on the base and put the base on your device (sold separately) and scan it into the app. Now you can play as that converting pig or bird! It's going to be total destruction in the battle between your Angry Birds Transformers bird and pig!

I wish they didn't look like Bayformers.

Not just because I hated the latest film, but also because G1 is just way easier to adapt into Angry Birds's cartoonish aesthetic.

So they are basically mutated Bot Shot toys.

The Grimlock and Soundwave ones are G1-based.

And the Starscream one, I think.
