Interesting that they're both full-bodied and NOT the same obvious/slavish homages we already have a dozen of.

Already placing bets that V2 of the game will be titled "Battle for the Egg-Spark".
We better get figures for this game. I need something to blow my disposable income on since I'm not impressed with the movie figures and I'm getting sick of the all too numerous Generations re-paints. At least THIS has some originality.

I am hoping the first Gen Kindle will support this. I actually though the humor in Star Wars Angry Birds was great and am looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

ROVIO AND HASBRO TEAM UP TO PRESENT TRANSFORMERS AND ANGRY BIRDS IN A BRAND NEW MASH-UP

Exciting mash-up of two beloved entertainment brands will connect with fans across generations and multiple platforms

Well that's unexpected

what little faith i had left in this franchise is officially gone

My kids are gonna be stoked! (As am I)

i am like laughing my brain out right now at the promo pictures and ... I FOUND THE MOON FROM MAJORA'S MASK!!!

Wait.... What?

Oh, so they are making toys of this? cool, I might buy some.

AUTOBIRDS... TRANSFORM AND ROLL ANGRY !!!

I-I-

Words cannot describe.

Ugh...

Well... the art's kinda cool. So it's got that going for it.

Could be worth a laugh.

Well, I knew it was only a matter of time. At least the characters have bodies and are not just birds in helmets. Still, not buying. Bad idea.

Some kind of bizarre mash-up of Movie designs and Rescue Bots designs.

This is going to be so damn awesome.

Finally somebody shares my opinion!

Shuttershock wrote:Some kind of bizarre mash-up of Movie designs and Rescue Bots designs.

Don't forget G1.

For instance, that Galvatron has the AOE body with the G1 head horns.

Looks like it could be fun. Too bad I don't have a tablet.

Still, the designs amuse me. If they make any actual transforming toy versions of these, I might pick them up.

BLAARG... Why... how dare you... someone must pay!

Hadn't seen this anywhere else yet, so I'm very glad I came here!

Any idea what Transformer that toucan guy is supposed to be, BTW? I'm stumped.

From the design my money and data storage is on grimlock

I thought that for a bit, but I see orange and I see three wheels and if that's on Grimlock I'm not sure what's going on.

Motorcycle Grimlock, apparently.

Don't jump to conclusions. This could very well be such a great game that it'll cause human civilization to advance to Star Wars-levels. Or it could just be a regular old game.

...Point is, don't judge a book by its cover. Or rather, a game by its cover. >:oP

Oh ... that's cute.

Know what's so awesome about this?

You don't have to download it. You don't have to play it. You don't have to buy the Telepod toys.

You don't have to acknowledge it exists. You can continue on your merry way with all the other TF material out there.

How awesome is that?

Okay look, part of my frustration stems from the fact that I don't quite understand how, Angry Birds, an iOS game (a game in which you launch birds at pigs... THAT'S IT), has garnered so much popularity. I mean, how is it that there's not only 12 games in the series but a future T.V series/Movie in the works as well as a Theme Park (YES A THEME PARK) appropriately named Angry Birds land; and last but not least, Angry Birds Yoga (THAT'S RIGHT, ANGRY BIRDS YOGA).

Now with all that in mind isn't it enough to just make your head go

Don't be silly. This will only be the tenth. With the eleventh coming in September. Not including the Trilogy version on consoles and PC.

This version makes sense. Not story sense, but financial. Rovio are getting Hasbro to make the Telepods. Quid pro quo, Angry Birds Transformers.

Oh, you forgot the web series and the candy, too.

Oh I'm sure there's a lot of misc. Angry Birds memorabilia that I forgot about, believe you me. I was counting the spin offs.

Because it's FUN.

Not to mention Rovio did a awesome job of mashing Angry Birds and Star Wars.

Oh and it's available on Android too. After all, smart people play the game too.

I'm with Burn on this. It's utterly mind-numbingly simple and fun. Also:

They're bootlegs, so that's to be expected.

But fun knock off transforming robots. Not something I'd spend money on, but they're so ridiculously over the top to the point they look like silly fun.

I hope Hasbro does something along these lines. That would be awesome. lol

Soundwave? More like Soundstache, am I right?

Who is the motorcycle supposed to be?

Angry birds should not have feet.
