This game is looking more and more appealing. Shame the toys are crappy One-Step Changers, though. If Hasbro made actual Deluxe-scaled versions of these guys, I would buy them all in a heartbeat.

Lockdown pig doesn't look very Lockdown-y to me. Maybe a hook or a face gun would help, I dunno. It doesn't help that he seems to be based on AoE Lockdown, who looked kinda generic to begin with. He'd probably pop better in Animated Lockdown's colors.

Sweet mercy, that looks fun!

Wow, that looks fun! I love Astrotrain dropping off OP at the beginning.

I had just assumed this was going to be like Star Wars Angry Birds: just the same old Angry Birds game, but with the Transformers license applied. I had no idea it was totally different gameplay.

It's terrifying to think that this game looks a hundred times more fun and entertaining then the box-office breaker movies. :BOOM:

Still, I am SO buying this.

Is that Bludgeon Pig? Amazing.

I'm ok with licensed stuff like this when it's clear as day that the team behind it is just having way too much fun

If someone takes the time to homage Astrotrain and Bludgeon, you can rest assured they know what they are talking about.

While not directly Transformers related, the following news concerns Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds and the recently released Angry Birds Transformers multimedia (game; comics and toys hitting soon). According to their CEO Mikael Hed, writing on the Rovio blog, the company is being reshaped, though not for negative financial reasons - leading to the loss of 130 jobs. Read more here and below.

We work in businesses that are so fast moving that the only constant is change. At Rovio we have always been innovative and forward-looking, and to succeed we need to be the best at adapting to change.

We are an entrepreneurial company and have been exploring multiple areas. We have been building our team on assumptions of faster growth than have materialized. As a result, we announced today that we plan to simplify our organization around our three key businesses with the highest growth potential: games, media, and consumer products. Unfortunately, we also need to consider possible employee reductions of a maximum of 130 people in Finland (approximately 16% of workforce).

It is never easy to consider changes like this, but it is better to do them sooner rather than later, when we are in a good place to reignite growth.

At Rovio we live to delight our fans. This year we have more launches and news than ever. As we consider these painful measures, we keep our eye on always delighting our fans with products they love.

Mikael Hed
CEO

We have another spotlight clip from Rovio Mobile, featuring another Angry Birds Transformers character. Check out below the embedded video showing off bird Hal in his best interpretation of Dinobot Grimlock!

So, dinosaurs evolve into birds, and then this bird becomes a dinosaur again? :lol:

Anyhow, having a dinobird mode and a bike mode but no humanoid robot mode is an interesting choice. I can only think of two other beast/vehicle Transformers, Underbite from the upcoming RiD series and G1 Sky Lynx.
