OOOOOkay, while I could go on about how Angry Birds Star Wars made me see that the trend of licensed crossovers points to all of pop-culture racing towards "The Condition of Muzak" in much the same way that many breakfast cereals keep adding new colors until they've covered the entire spectrum (like what recently happened in Green Lantern's neck of the multiverse) creating a space where everything becomes indistinct, and the ramifications this will have for the looming global I.P. wars that will surely change the very definitions of "public-domain" and "fair-use"...
...my first thought is actually of one advantage TF has over Star Wars here: dozens of characters who actually turn into birds, and at least three pigs. In other words, this has the potential to sorta' make more sense if they stray beyond the big names.
PLEASE at least include Snarler; his main character trait is selfishness IIRC, so he actually would steal eggs if he saw a point to it. And if they just ignored factions and threw in Randy, he could crumble from GPS when you hit him!
