Popular beast alternate modes

Fortifire: Added Cyberworld modes

[[File:Class06-toy Grimlock.jpg|thumb|upright=2|There's more of these than you'd think.]]
Earth is a planet literally teeming with organic life forms. Millions of genera, of all shapes and sizes, inhabit the planet, and a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan any of them for a potential [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

{{SITENAME}} has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the [[beast mode]]. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[retool]]s on the same line. The list is (more or less) organized in chronological order of toy release or fictional appearance.

Scanning

2025-02-23T05:31:57Z

Fortifire: /* 2007 Transformers film */ period

[[File:TFA Lugnut scanning.JPG|upright=1.95|thumb|Sure, the new packaging looks great, but the number of twisty-ties they use to hold it in that position is insane.]]
'''Scanning''', or '''trans-scanning''' when it's a biological process, is how [[Transformer]]s change their [[alternate mode]]s into things native to other planets such as vehicles or animals on [[Earth]].

Although the "original" or "Cybertronian" altmodes of the characters prior to scanning and reformatting are not always shown, they generally tend to be something roughly similar in size, form and function to their new mode (i.e. flyers tend to become planes, Cybertronian tanks become Earth tanks and small fast-moving land vehicles become sports cars or [[Cheetor (BW)|cheetahs]]), etc. This suggests that in most continuities the scanning process involves attempting to find the most similar compatible altmode available. Whether this makes the following reconstruction process easier or is merely a concession to the individual Cybertronian's personal preference is unknown.

They also have a funny tendency to be the same colors each time...<ref>''Animated'' is one of the first continuities to show multiple cases of characters scanning Earth altmodes with explicitly different (i.e. more "realistic") coloration or paintwork and yet having their reformatted bodies stick with their original deco schemes instead of conforming to the scanned example. Lugnut, Blitzwing, Starscream and Bulkhead all do this which is particularly odd in the last case since the [[Mudflap (slang)|mudflap]] rather seems to be using [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]'s deco which is based on a vintage U.S. Army Jeep. Mind you, the idea goes all the way back to "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" in which an orange tractor trailer was scanned for [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and yet he retained his red and blue coloration.</ref>

{{bigquote|A Transformer can turn into anything they can scan just by copying the object's data into their format files. Every time a Transformer rescans, they change form, and sometimes I have trouble recognizing even my own men!|[[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]|"[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle]]"}}

==Conceptual history==
[[Image:TFMprequel4pg03.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Starscream's body converts itself to Earth mode... or something?]]
Scanning, like many elements in the ''Transformers'' brand, has evolved over the decades. In particular, scanning has developed alongside the portrayal of [[transformation]], going from a wartime invention to a natural aspect of Cybertronian biology.

The original ''Transformers'' [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]] and [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)]] showed scanning only briefly, performed by the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark's]]'' [[Sky Spy]], while the ''Ark'' itself performed manual reconstruction to provide the Autobots and Decepticons new Earth alternate modes. After the initial awakening on [[Earth]], Transformers were either built with their alternate modes, or were reconfigured in an off-screen process.

''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' would mainly follow in the steps of ''Generation 1'', depicting the Maximals and Predacons requiring their ship's [[DNA scanner]] to provide them with [[beast mode]]s, the Maximals entering the [[CR chamber]] to be reconfigured. The series also depicted [[stasis pod]]s as having scanners, allowing individuals to gain new beast modes and identities.

While a British [[:File:Cheetor-beastmodescan.jpg|advertisement]] would depict [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] scanning a cheetah using beams from his eyes, the first ''major'' appearance of scanners built into a Cybertronian would be in 1998's ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars II]]''. In contrast to the ship scanners of the original ''Beast Wars'', Maximals are seen scanning their alternate mode themselves, while the Predacons use an [[Mother Computer|alien computer]] to provide the schematics, the strain of scanning rendering [[Galvatron (BW)|one Predacon]] briefly unconscious. In what was likely coincidence, 1999's ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' would explain that a [[Quantum Cycle Upgrade]] that occurred while the ''Beast Wars'' characters were on prehistoric Earth provided every Cybertronian a built-in scanner.
Following this, built-in scanners quickly became the standard method of Transformers acquiring new alternate modes.

During the first half of the 2000s, media such as the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family|Unicron Trilogy]] would consistently depict characters scanning new alternate modes using without any additional equipment, even capable of storing multiple vehicle schematics to share with other bots. Beams from the eyes in particular would continue to appear and become the primary visual cue for the process.

This would continue into the [[live-action film series]], which dubbed the process '''trans-scanning''', and described it as a core aspect of Cybertronian biology, a natural and seamless process that they instinctively performed after arriving on new planets in their [[transition form]]. The process would take only a few seconds, the Cybertronian's body generating the new exostructure immediately after scanning.<ref name="TFGuide">''[[Transformers: The Movie Guide]]'', by [[Simon Furman]]</ref> Unlike in previous series, it was depicted as a far more organic process, with behind the scenes information by [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] elaborating that no character transforms the same way twice. [[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Tie-in media]] would give Cybertronians the ability to assume impromptu alternate modes ''without'' scanning based on their memories, and [[Frenzy (Movie)|some]] characters were described as having "hyper-reactive scanners" that allowed them to assume new alternate modes even faster than average Transformers. Almost every film in the series would depict a scanning sequence ([[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] has two across four films), making it a memorable and consistent part of the film's portrayal of Cybertronians.

One outlier during this time was ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'', which would split the difference in depictions by showing the Autobots using their [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|ship]] and its scanner à la the ''G1'' cartoon and ''Beast Wars'', while the Decepticons used the built-in scanners that had become more commonplace in fiction.

The [[Aligned continuity family]] would follow with built-in scanners, continuing to treat it as a natural part of Cybertronian biology and something any bot could do at any time. With the general effort behind the Aligned continuity being to standardize ''Transformers'' lore, this depiction would be solidified as ''the'' method for scanning in all ''Transformers'' media since. The depiction of scanning as a natural aspect of Cybertronian biology has bled back into ''Generation 1'' media, such as the [[2005 IDW continuity|first IDW series]], and tie-ins with other properties.

Originally just a minor aspect of the Transformers arrival on Earth, scanning has evolved into an iconic core aspect of the ''Transformers'' mythos.

==Fiction==
===''Generation One''===
''None of the various 1980s versions of the ''Generation One'' continuity show the original G1-era Cybertronians as capable of either scanning for new altmodes or reformatting themselves without the use of external technology and a drawn-out nuts n' bolts process of physical reconstruction. This technology appears to be standard-issue in ships and various facilities.''
====Marvel Comics continuity====
[[File:Toaster ark.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Built to Rule!]]
Four million years ago shortly after the crash of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', the Ark's computer detected [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] landing on the planet in [[Savage Land|the Antarctic land-out-of-time]]. The Ark used the last of its capabilities to revive [[Dinobot (G1)|five warriors]] and rebuild them to transform into the Savage Land's dominant lifeforms: [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]. {{storylink|The Last Stand}}

Subsequently, in 1984 the eruption of the volcano reboots the Ark which sends a [[drone]] to scan the area for local life forms which it takes to be terrestrial vehicles. Damaged, the Ark does not distinguish between factions and repairs and rebuilds both [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s alike with new altmodes. The 'Cons leave soon after. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}}

Later stories would refer to new arrivals to Earth having to take on new "Terran" altmodes, but the process was generally glossed over.

====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:MTMtE Part1 Prime repair.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"Wake up, Prime! Don't make me use this to wake you up."]]
The Transformers aboard the ''Ark'' were damaged and went into [[stasis lock]] after the Ark crashed into [[Mount St. Hilary]]. Four million years passed, and then in 1984, volcanic activity stirred the half-buried Ark, awakening [[Teletraan I]], the computer system aboard. Teletraan I sent out a [[Sky Spy]] satellite to reconnoiter the new world and scanned terrestrial machinery in order to repair the Transformers and reformat them into new altmodes. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

====Dreamwave G1 continuity====
Being set quite some time after the initial awakening of the Transformers on modern-day Earth, the scanning and rebuilding process was never really detailed in this continuity, but can be assumed to have been along the lines of the fairly similar classic cartoon and Marvel comic scenarios.

Subsequent arrivals under [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s banner of a unified [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] have been reformatted into Earth modes prior to their arrival to the planet. Again, the process is not shown. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

====2005 IDW continuity====
Much like the Dreamwave counterpart, the IDWverse shows the Autobots and Decepticons already on Earth albeit with higher emphases on disguise. The process of reformatting is not shown. {{storylink|The Transformers: Infiltration|Infiltration}}

[[File:TimeWillRust JazzArrivesOnEarth.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|left|]]
Again, subsequent arrivals to Earth such as Optimus Prime, Megatron and Hot Rod make mention of having been modified to have new Earth-based altmodes but the process is similarly not depicted directly. {{storylink|The Transformers: Escalation|Escalation}} [[Skar (IDW)|Skar]] is said to be a pioneer of the "dynamic alt-mode adaptation" theory, which allowed him to scan the [[cyber-morphic predator]]s that dwelt in caves beneath Cybertron and reformat his [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobot]] comrades into new forms based on these creatures in the field. Again, however, the actual process was not depicted on-panel. {{storylink|Underworld (IDW)|Underworld}}

The first on-panel scanning was for the Dynobots and required the use of a CR chamber. {{storylink|Spotlight: Shockwave}} When [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]] first arrived on Earth however, he scanned a nearby Porsche by projecting a beam from his optics. {{storylink|Time Will Rust}}

In the jump-forward storyline ''All Hail Megatron'', many of the Autobots and Decepticons have inexplicably been reformatted again, but merely into similar-but-different Earth altmodes. It is no surprise that in all cases these resemble their most recent real-world toy releases, particularly under the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron}} Following the rebirth of Cybertron and the end of the war, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] worked to reformat their respective comrades into new Cybertronian vehicle modes. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}}

====''Hearts of Steel''====
It's not fully clear how exactly Cybertronians scan their alternate modes. Bumblebee can, for instance, instantly reformat from his prehistoric [[beast mode]] into a nonexistent steamhammer locomotive. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 1|Hearts of Steel #1}} On the other hand, Starscream and the other Decepticons need plans drawn up by [[Tobias Muldoon]] to reformat into flying alternate modes. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 2|Hearts of Steel #2}}

Whether or not [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] is a living Transformer raises even more questions; he's one of several Decepticons to be made or refitted to function as a train. Some Decepticons are also manually refitted to make rail cars for Astrotrain. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 3|Hearts of Steel #3}}

====''Universe'' (2008) promotional video====
Optimus Prime emits the scanning beam from his [[Sensor#Optical sensors|optic]] sensor to scan a truck. {{storylink|Action Blast 1|Action Blast 1 Part 1}}

====''Transformers vs. The Terminator''====
When the ''Ark'' rebooted, a [[Sky Spy]] probe scanned a commandeered truck that happened to be nearby before the [[T-800]] shot it down, {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part One}} later justifying this act to [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] as the probe having also scanned him. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}}

====''Transformers/Back to the Future''====
After finding himself unable to tolerate Megatron's brutality any longer, Gigawatt trans-scanned the impounded [[DeLorean time machine]], hoping to use its replicated power to alter history and undo his master's reign of terror. {{storylink|Transformers/Back to the Future issue 2|Transformers/Back to the Future #2}}

===Beast Era===
[[Protoform]] Transformers are able to get new alternate modes by using the [[DNA]] scanned from the lifeforms of the nearby environments.
====''Beast Wars'' cartoon====
When in operation, the "scan beam" emitted from the [[DNA scanner]]s built into Cybertronian ships can analyze DNA data scanned from lifeforms immediately. If the device scans a corpse or fossil, it is able to reconstruct the lifeform's appearance during its lifetime. Examples of this include the alternate modes of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], and [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]].

Once the scanned DNA data is retrieved, it is sent to CR chambers or CR tanks. The Transformers have to enter the CR chambers or tanks to get their new altmode.

There is also a DNA scanner mounted on each [[stasis pod]] in order to get the DNA data from the lifeforms of the planet on which the stasis pod lands. The stasis pod itself then reformats the occupant—or perhaps just "formats", since protoforms are generally considered to be newborns.

====''Beast Wars II'' cartoon====
''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars II]]'' featured the first instance of built-in DNA scanners and self-reformatting technology allowing the Transformers to adopt alternate modes on the spot without the need for external machinery. Only [[Tasmania Kid]] is seen using it, {{storylink|The New Forces Arrive!}} while the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] obtained vehicle modes by accessing an ancient computer and scanning the recorded data within it. {{storylink|White Lion, Run!}}

====''Beast Machines'' cartoon====
After falling into a hole, Nightscream became unconscious. During that time, a DNA scanner inside his body was activated and scanned the fossils of a big bat once native to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], giving him a bat alternate mode. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}} He explains to [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] that all Cybertronians now have built-in scanners by this slightly later point in history, having been equipped with them in the planet-wide [[Quantum Cycle Upgrade]] that evidently occurred after the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' and ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]'' crews departed Cybertron for the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}}

According to [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]], she and her crew scanned the DNA from the plant on the planet on which she landed. {{storylink|Home Soil}}

===2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
[[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]] was able to scan [[Auggie Cahnay (RID)|Auggie Cahnay]]'s racing car and reformat after arriving on Earth using a built-in scanner. The scan also seemed to pick up parts of Auggie Cahnay's personality causing him to experience the urge to enter races. {{storylink|Skid Z's Choice}} Stasis pods with in-built scanners also appeared in the series enabling the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] to select alternate modes which the contained protoforms would take. In the case of [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] the scan beam took in a fuel tanker, [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Kelly (RID)|Kelly]] causing Scourge's [[robot mode]] to bear a resemblance to Optimus and adding a human tinge to his bio-signature. {{storylink|The Decepticons}}
===Unicron Trilogy===
Upon arriving on Earth, both Autobots and Decepticons display the ability to scan and [[Reformatting|reformat]] for new alt modes without requiring the aid of any external reconfiguration technology. {{storylink|Metamorphosis (Armada)|Metamorphosis}} When the [[Unicron Singularity]] was threatening the universe, Transformers even displayed the ability to scan multiple alternate modes in addition to the one they chose for themselves, storing the data on other vehicles and passing it on to other Transformers to scan. Scanning didn't even require the presence of the actual vehicle—a mere photograph or illustration of the vehicle would do. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}}
===Live-action film series===
====2007 ''Transformers'' film====
[[Image:DOTMGarbageLonghaul.jpg|right|350px|thumb|I'd better find something to wear, pronto!]]
Autobots and Decepticons from the live-action films have the most fluid abilities to date regarding scanning and reformatting their bodies at will without any apparent need for external assistance whatsoever. Although there is some ambiguity, it even appears that the transformational abilities of Movie Cybertronians are so fluid that they can re-scan and reformat as often as they wish and not even use the same "[[Transformation|transformation scheme]]" twice, possibly suggesting that they can generate new parts such as additional weapons at will independent of a full reformatting cycle.
How permanent a trans-scanned alternate form becomes, as well as how easily a Transformer can scan and adopt a new one, are somewhat open to debate. There is much evidence to suggest they are quickly able to adopt new forms at will. Certainly [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was able to alter the features of his Camaro mode from an older to newer model with ease, but this is not the same as taking an entirely new form.
According to one source, any Transformer can trans-scan a new, appropriately massed alternate form at will, and their inner [[protoform]] core will generate a new exostructure or alter an existing one to that new appearance almost instantaneously.<ref name="TFGuide" />
However, other sources seem to disagree. The main evidence against this ease in switching forms being universal is the fact that it is treated as a "special power" for several Transformers. The [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Autobot]] and [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon]] Create-A-Bots, for instance, were able to switch between alt modes as diverse as trucks and helicopters on the fly, but this was apparently the result of some form of enhancement (installed by [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]], in the case of the Autobot), though this seemed more like being able to remember multiple alt-modes ''at once'', rather than the usual one. Moreover, the Decepticon spy [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] possesses a similar ability, being equipped with a special "hyper-reactive" trans-scanning and reformatting processor, which allows him to scan and transform into anything at any given moment. [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] possess a similar aptitude for changing disguises, though whether this is the result of some upgrade or just part of their hyperactive personality is debatable.

[[Image:Movie Trans-Scan.JPG|left|250px|thumb|We build excitement! Pontiac!]]

The fact that these few are singled out as having the ability to re-trans-scan at will would seem to suggest that once your average Transformer has selected an alternate mode, they can't take on an ''entirely'' new one under their own power. However, this is again contradicted in the prequel novel, ''Ghosts of Yesterday'': Bumblebee transforms to a previously scanned mode on an empty alien world to escape an attack by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and he does so "hastily", indicating that his change from protoform was extremely swift. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself transforms to cometary form on board the transport ship before launching down to aid his subordinate; again, this is indicated to be swift and not requiring a lot effort. Neither of these Transformers are noted with the above-named "special ability". Also, [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] is shown taking several different altmodes, from a computer to a photocopier machine to a pink, door-kibble-less human-sized Bumblebee to a plasma television set (but never the vehicle his toy turns into), but since he is a case of reengineered Cybertronian wildlife rather than a true Transformer, it isn't clear if this applies to all Transformers.

It gets contradicted ''again'' in [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan's Transformers title]] ([[Transformers Comic issue 11|#11]] and [[Transformers Comic issue 12|#12]]). In one instance, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] trans-scan ''[[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]'', using his alternate mode as a disguise. Here, however, they sacrifice their weaponry in the process and have to absorb nearby iron ore to rebuild them.

To further muddy the matter, ''Age of Extinction'' demonstrates that Cybertronians can at least partially control the nature of a scanned altmode; Optimus Prime scans a white truck but alters his corresponding paint scheme so that his new truck shape possesses the blue-and-red flames of his previous forms.

Ultimately, no precise conclusions can be made, but traditionally, the Transformers mythos has long been peppered with such contradictions as this.

Movieverse scanning can even replicate the appearance of rust and scratched and faded custom paintwork when imitating [[Bumblebee (Movie)|an]] [[Megatron (Movie)|old]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|beater]], apparently.

====''Bumblebee'' film====
Upon arriving on Earth, Autobot scout B-127 scanned an army jeep to escape the United States Armed Forces before a battle with [[Blitzwing (BB)|Blitzwing]] left him damaged and he scanned a Volkswagen Beetle as he fell into [[stasis lock]]. After defeating [[Shatter]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]], he scanned a Camaro. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

===''Animated''===
In the ''Animated'' universe, [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and his crew use a Sky Spy-type probe from their ship to scan new alt modes for them. They are then very quickly reformatted into their new forms by taking turns stepping inside a device similar to a CR chamber.

However, upon arriving on Earth, the Decepticons [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]], [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]], and, memorably, [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]], are capable of scanning new altmodes directly from their own bodies and immediately reformatting themselves without any such chamber, although the actual reformatting is not shown onscreen. This may suggest that while ''Animated'' Decepticons appear to have the ability to scan and reformat themselves unaided, ''Animated'' Autobots apparently do not. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

When [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] rebuilds himself with the assistance of [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari Sumdac]]'s [[AllSpark]]-[[AllSpark Key|powered key]], he is reconstituted with a newly reformatted helicopter-altmode body straight away rather than in his original body which had a Cybertronian jet-altmode. He had presumably scanned the design while his disembodied head still had access to [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Issac Sumdac]]'s computers.

In a similar vein, mere moments after upgrading himself, [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]] was capable of transforming into a brand-new vehicle mode without any scanning whatsoever. [[Wreck-Gar (Animated)|Wreck-Gar]] could also transform into a vehicle mode without having done a single scan beforehand.

After arriving Earth and finding [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] in [[stasis lock]], [[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]] reactivated the systems and the on-board scanner of Soundwave's stasis pod. It scanned a [[:File:Universe 2008 Ironhide Toy.jpg|familiar vehicle]] nearby for Soundwave and reactivated him. {{storylink|The Desert Heat!}}

Scanning new vehicle modes based on the current locale is not something that every Cybertronian enjoys; some pride themselves on retaining the same vehicle form that they have had since learning to assume it. During his stay on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] [[Prowl (WFC)|Prowl]] briefly contemplated scanning a new vehicle mode to better suit the treacherous terrain of the junk planet but ultimately decided against it. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}
===''Prime'' cartoon===
[[File:ProjectPredacon Optimus Prime scans truck.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|Perfect! No one will ever suspect such a big spiky truck of actually being an alien robot in disguise!]]
For some reason that has yet to be explained, many Cybertronians seem to lose the ability to assume a vehicle form after arriving on Earth. While they are perfectly functional in robot mode their inability to transform into an alternate mode puts them at a disadvantage regarding mobility, [[Megatron (WFC)|though there]] [[Airachnid (Prime)|are some]] [[Shockwave (WFC)|exceptions]]. However, Cybertronians are readily capable of scanning local vehicles for alternate modes. This appears as the Cybertronian in question shooting what appears to be green [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|or blue]] beams from their eyes. The beams scan the vehicle which even appears to cause some electrical interference as well providing the Cybertronian with a complete schematic of their chosen vehicle after which they can immediately transform into said vehicle.

Curiously, Cybertronians here seem to display kibble that hints to an Earth-based vehicle mode before they actually scan one.

[[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] has inadvertently provided [[Skyquake (Prime)|some]] [[Airachnid (Prime)|Decepticons]] [[Dreadwing (Prime)|their]] new vehicle modes with the vehicle he's currently riding in much to his irritation. {{storylink|Masters & Students}} {{storylink|Crisscross (episode)|Crisscross}} {{storylink|Loose Cannons}}

A Transformer's scanning ability is enabled by their [[transformation cog]] component. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}

[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] scanned a new alternate mode that would better integrate his new [[Jet pack|jetpack]]. The vehicle chosen by [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] was an experimental [[M.A.S.K.]]-division vehicle. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}
====''Rescue Bots'' cartoon====
[[File:Changes Heatwave meditates.jpg|thumb|right|"Om mani padme hum."]]
Upon arriving on Earth, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] provided the members of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] with a choice of vehicle modes based on the native machinery. After choosing their new alternate modes, the members of the force immediately assumed alternate form and began to integrate into human society. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}} After some time on Earth, Optimus Prime instructed [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] on how to gain [[Triple Changer|a third form]] which involved intense concentration and focusing a lot of energy, a process Optimus described as “an ordeal” in which few succeeded on their first try. It involved a form of prone meditation so deep that Heatwave was apparently unable to hear [[Kade Burns|an embarrassing conversation]] going on right next to him. When his energy focusing was complete his Rescue Bot insignia glowed blue similar to when using energize tools and he himself glowed briefly. It glowed blue again when he scanned a fireboat and he told [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] that he was still exhausted later that day or a day or two later. He also told him that Blades would not be allowed to attempt to scan a third form, since Heatwave did it only with Optimus' permission and help. {{storylink|Changes}} In accordance with [[tvtropes:Main/UniquenessDecay|uniqueness decay]] however, Optimus later scanned [[Trex]] to gain a Dinobot form without the same fanfare being given to the difficulty of scanning a third form, {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} and in order to test a cure for Optimus' rampaging dino mode on himself [[Boulder (RB)|Boulder]] scanned a third form with only a few moments of focusing and no apparent fatigue. {{storylink|Big Game}} When [[Quint Quarry]] demanded more dinobots in addition to Boulder and Optimus, Heatwave gained a ''fourth'' form and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and Blades scanned third modes all with no apparent preparation or fatigue. The process did strain Blades' [[Transformation cog|T-cog]] to the point that it was several hours before he could use it again, though this strain was attributed partially to the bio-organic nature of the new forms they'd scanned. {{storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}
====2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon====
After arriving on Earth, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] scanned new vehicle modes at [[Denny Clay]]'s [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]]. Noticeably, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] did not adopt compatible Earth forms possibly due to personal preferences or physical limitations. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

Most, [[Underbite|but not all of]] the Decepticon fugitives aboard the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' also chose to scan new alternate modes while hiding out on Earth.

[[File:OverloadedPart2-optimusscanning.jpg|thumb|right|350px|The Decepticons really knew that they were in trouble after Optimus learned how to Warp Digivolve.]]
While training in the [[Realm of the Primes]] Optimus Prime learned how to control and fine-tune the scanning process so that he could merely adopt one characteristic of an appropriate vehicle. While searching for [[Polarclaw|a Decepticon]] in the [[Arctic]] members of the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] scanned suitable camouflage from a nearby truck {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 2}} and during the trip south they adopted desert camouflage by scanning an offroad jeep. {{storylink|Cover Me}}

The Bee Team repeated this when visiting the ruins of [[Autobot Outpost Omega One]], {{storylink|History Lessons}} while [[Steeljaw's Pack]] used the trick to pass off as hazardous waste disposal vehicles. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}}

===''EarthSpark'' cartoon===
The [[Terran]]s created by the [[Emberstone]] lacked alternate modes, and each [[protoform]] must choose an alt-mode to scan. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 2}} Choosing their alternate modes became an important rite of passage among the group, with both [[Twitch]] and [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] attaching a lot of personal significance to their choices, with Twitch considering the [[Wheeljack (ES)|creator]] of her drone mode to be a second father. {{storylink|Traditions}} {{storylink|Missed Connection}} [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] in particular pushed back against pressure from [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]] to choose an alternate mode until he found one that truly suited him, instead of scanning a random vehicle. {{storylink|Outtakes}} His later scanning of a ''Stygimoloch'' fossil took [[Elita-1 (ES)|Elita-1]] and [[Grimlock (ES)|Grimlock]] by surprise as that wasn't how scanning typically worked. {{storylink|A Stygi Situation}} After [[G.H.O.S.T.]] was shut down, Hashtag considered changing her now-obsolete G.H.O.S.T. van mode. She eventually found an S.U.V. that met her criteria and scanned it. {{storylink|Control Alt Delete}}

As such, nearly all of their vehicle mode parts (and thus, most of their robot modes) are cast in translucent clear plastic, with the rear of their vehicle modes being left unpainted, their middle portions having painted scan lines, and their fronts having a heavy amount of [[paint operation]]s in order to cover the clear plastic.

==Notes==
[[File:Cheetor-beastmodescan.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|The {{w|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|PETA}} gonna SUE!!]]
*In an advertisement of PSX version of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (video game)|Beast Wars: Transformers]]'' in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] grabs and scans a cheetah by the scan beam emitted from his optics.

===Behind the scenes===
One piece of metatextual evidence which could be argued to support the fluidity argument indirectly is the fact that in the actual film, no two transformations by the same character were ever remotely identical. Although the vehicle and robot mode models were obviously always consistent, ILM animators have admitted that the actual transformations from mode A to B (and vice-versa) were unique every time they were performed, with the thousands of transforming parts moving around in significantly different orders and via different internal and external routes around the body each time a transformation took place. This was largely due to the fact that the transformations were not automated, but had to be "manually" animated each time, with the main focus being what part of the Transformer in question was facing the virtual camera and what would look interesting and "believable", rather than maintaining the consistency of any transformation method.

Thus, unlike most past depictions of Transformers (or, for that matter, all Transformers toys) individual Movieverse Transformers actually have ''no'' fixed "[[transformation]] scheme". This could be argued to support the suggestion that Cybertronians from the Movieverse have such fluid transformational abilities that they do not require set patterns or methods by which to change form, but rather move their parts around in an almost instinctive manner, possibly as determined by factors such as their current speed, terrain, or intent of action at the moment of transformation. The ultimate extension of this logic is that some of their additional transformational abilities (such as Bumblebee's previously unseen shoulder-mounted missile launchers used against [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]]) may not even be "designed in" when they trans-scan and reformat, but might even be spontaneously generated as needed.

:''Bomb is an [[Autobird]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Drift-Bird-Event.jpg|thumb|I am a Samurai, but also "whk-whek-whek-whk-whkk" a bomb!]]
'''Bomb''' is a bomb. And a bird. A bomb bird. Despite his explosive properties, Bomb gets along well with the other members of the [[Flock]], and frequently shows concern for their well-being. After being upgraded into '''[[Drift (G1)|Drift]] Bird''' by the EggSpark, he displays a single-minded obsession with "honor" and becomes more even-tempered. He nonetheless acts as a fierce warrior when he finds himself immersed in battle. In his new form, he also displays a preference towards using his newly-acquired sword, though his upgrade has not robbed him of his explosive capabilities.

Taking on the guise of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] allows Bomb to combine his explosive tendencies with Wheeljack's inventions.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Birdsareok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left]]
After the [[Bad Piggies]] had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Bomb accompanied his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] managed to foul up [[Red (AB)|Red's]] attack plan, causing the Bad Piggies' building to collapse on top of the Flock while [[King Pig]] and his minions escaped. Using his explosive abilities, Bomb managed to disinter himself, [[Terence (AB)|Terence]], [[Bubbles]], and Chuck from the rubble. The [[Blues]] then flew off, intent on securing the eggs on their own. Upon noting their absence, the rest of the Flock began searching for them, only for the Blues to return and babble about an "[[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]" transforming the Bad Piggies into "[[Deceptihog]]s." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 DriftBirdintro.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|"I have shamed myself. I must commit Sudoku."]]
By the time Bomb came upon the EggSpark, it had already transformed fellow birds Chuck and [[Hal]] into "Bumblebee Bird" and "Grimlock Bird" respectively. The group puzzled over their friends' new forms, with Bomb helping Terence point out that their strange new appendages were called "arms and legs." Though taken aback at first, Bomb and the rest of the Flock eventually agreed to also touch the EggSpark and upgrade themselves into "[[Autobird]]s." Upon becoming Drift Bird, Bomb was overtaken by the sudden urge to [[introdump|exposit about his new form and persona]]. He explained that he was now ruled by honor and clarity of purpose. He could still blow up though. Upon Optimus Prime Bird's command, Bomb and the rest of the group transformed and rolled out into action. They eventually caught up to the Deceptihogs, and steeled themselves for a confrontation. Drift Bird found himself reminding the others that there was no need to recklessly rush into combat. As the inevitable battle became underway, Drift Bird cheered on Heatwave Bird as the latter battle [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]]. The scuffle came to an abrupt end when the Flocks' eggs, having been previously exposed to the EggSpark, sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:Angry Birds Transformers Issue 2 Drift Vehicle Mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left|I woke up in a new Bugatti]]
The two factions joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]], and Drift Bird once more entered the fray. The battle did not go well, forcing the 'bots to change tactics. Drift Bird was assigned to a team whose mission was to rescue [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]], previously captured by the Eggbots. His fellow teammate, [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] got himself captured in turn, prompting Drift Bird to exclaim that honor demanded they save <s>him</s> them. The rescue operation had to be put off as Drift Bird and the remaining members of his team found themselves surrounded by gargantuan Eggbots. During the battle, Drift Bot heard clanging coming from within the structure in which Bluestreak Bird and Starscream Pig were being held captive. Using one of his swords, he cut open an exit for them, sending both Bluestreak Bird and a battalion of Eggbots pouring out of the hole. The Eggbots from within met with the Eggbots from outside, and frightened one another into fleeing. Having rescued their friend, the group reconvened with the rest of their teammates to further plan out their battle tactics. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF3 DriftBirdfightseggs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Due to the EggSpark's ongoing influence, [[Piggy Island]] became increasingly dangerous and unstable. Realizing that they needed to separate the artifact from the land to end the madness, the Autobirds and Deceptihogs headed in its direction. When they found their path obstructed by a colossal wall, Drift Bird activated his explosive abilities to breach it. Though he was successful in clearing a path to the EggSpark, his display of power had left Drift Bomb disoriented and unable to help further. The EggSpark was nonetheless launched off-planet, returning Piggy Island and its inhabitants to their natural state. As the restored Flock discussed the day's events, Bomb pointed out that they all had been acting out of character upon receiving their robot bodies. He then joined Terence and Bubbles in listening to Hal play some tunes on his banjo. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

*''Squad'': '''The Hotrods'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event, in-game purchase

One of the slower sports-car bots, Drift requires patience and careful aim. He hurls slow-moving electrified shurikens that don't do immediate damage, but explode a half-second after impact, destroying entire structures. Hit the right block in a tower and the effect can be devastating. Its effect on flying foes ''is'' immediate, however, as the charged projectiles act like an [[electromagnetic pulse]], dropping flying Pigs out of the air and stopping [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s and Monoliths in their tracks, . Even better, the EMP effect has a blast radius that can take out multiple flying Pigs with a single shot.

He was first unlockable in the "2-Year Celebration!" [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)/Challenge Events|Challenge Event]], which ran from [[October 5]] through [[October 14]] 2016. He cost a whopping ''7500'' Tokens to unlock (the highest cost for a character at the time), which were earned through daily challenges in special stages. However, he could also be bought and unlocked instantly as part of the "Drift Bundle" in the first two days and the last two days of the Event, which included Drift, his Great Sword Accessory, and 1000 Gems, all for a mere $29.99 in real actual money. No, we're not kidding. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

*''Squad'': '''The Wreckers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event

Combining Bomb's explosive nature with Wheeljack's explosive inventions can't be good for his productivity in his workshop. Ever so often he does successfully create new (and expensive) gadgets like the miniature [[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]], But it probably makes [[Terence (AB)|Ratchet]] all the more grumpy when he has to put him and his workshop back together.

His newest weapon/gadget is a salvo rocket launcher that fires a cluster of lobbed explosive missiles! Much more powerful and effective than those of that yellow Sunstorm Pig.

Wheeljack was newly introduced in December 2016, and was available for 7500 tokens in the game's Christmas event. Surprisingly, there was no real-money character bundle with Wheeljack for sale, but there was one in the next event that focused on getting just one accessory for him.

====As Grapple====
[[File:ABTF-screen Bomb Grapple.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Oh yeah, he’s a big boy now]]
*''Squad'': '''Support'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event

Grapple is normally an architect/artist, but in this game, he works with the other Autobirds and Deceptihogs to demolish towers.

In battle, Grapple is rather unusual. His weapon is a lightning beam attack, but in terms of attack power, it’s extremely weak, even at level 15, de-cyberforming scenery slower than [[Red (AB)#As Optimus Prime|Optimus Prime]]. Combined with his somewhat weak health makes him seem rather useless. However, if there is a close enough block or grounded pig to where the weapon starts firing, the nearest block or grounded pig will be teleported to that location. It can then be dragged around, and if the weapon stops in some way that involves becoming a different form, (vehicle, washing machine, scrambled body) it will be immobilized in place until he returns to humanoid form.

There are many ways to use this weapon to your advantage, like using the objects as wrecking balls, or using them as cover from enemy attacks. The best way to put Grapple to your advantage is to be creative. Although you can use other Transformers better.

Grapple follows the trend of event availability, being obtainable in the event of the same name for 10000 tokens.

====As Warpath====
[[File:ABTF-screen Bomb Warpath.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Bam! Pow! I have IED! Ka-BLAAAM!]]
*''Squad'': '''Support'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event

Who would have thought that crazy Bomb would go with crazy Warpath? His weapon is a piercing instant-hit laser something like the various [[Corporal Pig#Games|Galvatrons]], which obliterates most anything it hits as well as leaving a (weak) vortex in its wake. But the real power comes once he's leveled up a bit, which adds a hefty splash-damage explosion on contact with a target. Warpath can vaporize whole block towers with a single shot, and never needs to reload to boot! See, destructive.

But he does have one ''huge'' weakness: overheating. Too much rapid tap-blasting will make his gun overheat, and when targeting things that take more than one direct hit to destroy, such as [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s, his weapon fires ''extremely'' rapidly and will overheat ''extremely'' quickly. The cooldown from an overheat takes several seconds, leaving him vulnerable, so tap responsibly, learn to ''un''-target Mortar Towers quickly after one or two hits... and try to get some of his cooldown-improving accessories quickly!

====As Omega Supreme====

*''Squad'': '''Gestalt'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Gem Purchase
The fact that [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] is the biggest Autobot around clearly confused the game developers: they put him in the Gestalt squad, together with Combiner [[Hal#As Volcanicus|Volcanicus]]. On top of that, one of Omega’s accessories is an [[Enigma of Combination]]. Ah well. It’s still a strong character with a pretty cool model... Right?

Omega wields three different weapons in this game: the first is a gold colored instant-hit beam that holds blocks in the air to be dragged around by the player. This beam never overheats. The secondary weapon is a red colored instant-hit beam that has a life of its own, targeting random blocks and/or pigs and quickly destroying them. This beam does overheat but does not really take long to recharge. And last but not least there is the special ability that replaces the vehicle mode for this giant Autobird: upon activation, Omega will make the Fist-Slam move, that big characters do when there’s stuff in their path, and all ice, wood and stone blocks on the screen will simply cease to exist, leaving piggies that were previously positioned on towers no choice but to plummet to their deaths.

The Autobirds need to keep winning and now even Private Mirage is joining the war. But danger lurks in the shadows as Drift has turned to the dark side and is now known as Private Deadlock. This evil shell of an Autobird soldier will surely let the Deceptihogs take the island...

Private Deadlock's weapon is very similar to the original Drift's weapon.

*''Squad'': '''Specialist Raiders'''

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
Both sides of the war are bringing out the big guns now. It's a true Clash of Titans as Sergeant Omega Supreme goes head to head with [[Minion Pig#As Sergeant Devastator|Sergeant Devastator]]. Which behemoth shall fall?

Sergeant Omega Supreme's weapon acts just like his original. Wow.

With still not an end to this war in sight, both sides recruit their last warriors. The Autobirds employ Engineer Wheeljack in hopes that his ingenuity will bring the hammer down, but given that he is up against the mighty [[Minion Pig#As Seeker Ramjet|Seeker Ramjet]], this victory might not come that easy...

And well...who would have guessed that his weapon is just the same as his original? Definitely not the players who keep buying the passes, right?

*''Squad'': '''Peacekeepers'''

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs are experiencing a glow-in-the-dark deja vu. Neon Wheeljack is up for a more colorful clash against [[Minion Pig#As Neon Ramjet|Neon Ramjet]].

Once again, there is no tangible difference in Neon Wheeljack's weapons to his other variants. But as a Neon character, this version takes more damage, but can heal from Energon cubes collected in levels.

==Notes==
*Though Bomb/Drift appeared in the early, made-before-the-games-were-done fiction, he did not appear in the game for ''two years''. Yowza.
*Like other early-plans-but-late-addition characters, his in-game appearance is significantly different from the original concept. Though he keeps the helmet design inspired by ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], his coloration is based on [[Drift (G1)|Generation 1 Drift]], and his body is an altered [[Bubbles|Bubbles/Jazz]] model. He even shares some of Jazz's dancing animations.
*Upgrading Drift used to require the use of [[Deceptihog]] Materials, a reference to how the various Drifts began their lives as Decepticons. Strangely, so did Wheeljack.
*[[Ty Olsson]] voiced Bomb in the ''Summer Madness'' animated series, while [[Kenji Nomura]] voiced him in the Japanese release of ''The Angry Birds Movie'' and its sequel.

:''Minion Pigs are [[Bad Piggies]] and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

Starscream Pig was part of a crazy dance party at the Deceptihogs' headquarters, where they used the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Deceptihogs' Revenge}}

A swarm of Flying Pigbots pestered Bumblebee Bird, raining down laser blasts onto him. When one of their stray shots destroyed the little umbrella in Heatwave Bird's drink, who was relaxing nearby, the irate Autobird took them all out with a single blast of his cannon. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Best Buddies}}

A swarm of Flying Pigbots chased Arcee Bird and Optimus Prime Bird to a cliff edge.

When the Allspark Egg crashed into Piggy Island, its hordes of Minion pigs were granted Cybertronic armor. Some got better gear including weapons though, and some even gained bodies based on the [[Decepticon]]s Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

*''Unlock Type'': New Area (900 pigs), TelePod

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

The arrival of the first [[Rainmaker]] in action. As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

For some reason, they decided to add the basic version of Starscream ''after'' the energon variant. This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit laserbeams (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

====As Sunstorm====
[[File:Sunstorm-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

Sunstorm launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level. Instead like every other Combiner in the game, he dismembers himself and rockets off along with Astrotrain.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a black hole bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of eight (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====
[[File:Cyclonuspig.jpeg|thumb|250px]]
*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does... if you're playing as Cyclonus. He doesn't quake in vehicle mode if he's your call-in partner, but at least he defaults to his mega laser as your Eggbot-bashing buddy.

*''Squad'': '''Coneheads'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires clips of three conjoined soundwaves that travel in a wobbly dancing-esque motion before hitting the target. And if it's not enough, his soundwaves contain the paralyzing effects of EMP, and triggers targets to suffer damage over time for a short period. Although it might not seem enough.

*''Squad'': '''Coneheads'''

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction and damages them at the same time, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. AND, they retain the same stunning EMP effects of his null-ray. This could only mean 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm (yes, yet again) to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to leave 'em shocked. Well.

While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Although it's unknown as to why the game depicts Nova as a 'male' as per her squad biodata.

As the last ever Rainmaker to be released in the game (and also original character), Nova Storm's weapon is a blue water bullet blaster that specializes in displacing the blocks of structures and any piggy bystander. These shots can cause even more misery with their splash damage effects. Additionally, upon higher upgrades, these water bullets upgrade to large purple ones, and towers and pigs on screen will simply blast out of oblivion upon getting touched by them.

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

====As Seeker Nova Storm====
[[File:ABseekernovastorm.jpeg|thumb|150px]]
*''Squad'': '''Misfits Squad'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
Having just recently arrived on the island, Seeker Nova Storm is near instantly dragged into the violent Autobird-Deceptihog war as she is needed to counteract the appointment of [[Mighty Eagle#As Captain Alpha Trion|Captain Alpha Trion]] as the new Autobird leader. Will her explosive attitude be enough to squash the old and wise Transformer?

Her weapon is unchanged. Nothing else to say.

====As Seeker Ramjet====
[[File:ABseekerramjet.jpeg|thumb|150px|Wait so if the cone on the head is supposed to be the Nose Cone of the jet, but he keeps it on his head in jet mode...]]
*''Squad'': '''Raging Squad'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.
{{-}}

====As Neon Starscream====
[[File:ABneonstarscream.jpeg|thumb|200px]]
*''Squad'': '''Weekend Warriors'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
After months upon months of victory, the Deceptihogs now find themselves slapped miles back at the hand of [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|General Optimus Prime Neon]]. As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, he retains his shocking stone-throwing launcher. Nothing new.
{{-}}

====As Neon Thundercracker====
[[File:ABneonthundercracker.jpeg|thumb|200px]]
*''Squad'': '''Cobalt Crew'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
Now that the Deceptihogs have set up their new supply HQ, all seems to be going well for the green-tinted army. There is one wee little problem though: [[Stella (AB)#As Neon Chromia|Neon Chromia]] has investigated the new high-tech warehouse and is now plotting to infiltrate and incinerate! It is up to Neon Thundercracker now to protect the Deceptihogs' new pride.

Having drunk the evil juice, Neon Thundercracker now too experiences Energon effects. You know what that means. The blue TNT thrower still remains with him, though.
{{-}}

====As Neon Skywarp====
*''Squad'': '''Raiders Of The Last Ark'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
The war is continuing and the Autobirds are sending out Neon Sunstreaker, the Deceptihogs fight back and send out Neon Skywarp, now looking a bit more like Acid Storm (and sadly having Stella’s voice lines)

Having the powers of Neon he takes more damage but can heal from Energon cubes.
{{-}}

====As Neon Ramjet====
[[File:ABTF_Neon_Ramjet.JPG|thumb|150px]]
*''Squad'': '''Peacekeepers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
[[Bomb (AB)#As Neon Wheeljack|Wheeljack]] and Ramjet face off once again, this time with a luminescent coat of paint.

Neon Ramjet assumes the durability trade-off typical for Neon variants in favor of Energon healing. Otherwise, he plays identical to his other versions.
{{-}}

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach, like in events), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px|Who could it be now? *Sax*]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

His jet design ''miiight'' be based on [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]. Well, based on the colors, anyways. The actual design is a carbon copy of the other Seekers.

*'''Energon Racers Pack''' (''Telepods'' Racers multi-pack, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base

: As a [[Telepod]] figure, Energon Starscream Pig [[Autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from jet to robot by pushing back his noggin, and back just by pushing him down. He has a scan-code on the bottom of his feet, which allows him to be scanned into the ''[[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]]'' app when placed on top of a magnifying Telepods base, included with the set. Doing so repairs in-game Energon Starscream's damage, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

: He was only available as part of a multi-pack with "Energon" versions of [[Red (AB)|Optimus Prime Bird]], [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]], [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]] and [[Chef Pig|Soundwave Pig]].

{{-}}{{anchor|ThunderTelepod}}
*'''Thundercracker Pig''' (''Telepods Racer, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base

: Thundercracker Pig is a [[redeco]] of Energon Starscream Pig, transforming from robot to jet. Like all ''Telepods'' products, he is packaged with a ''Telepods'' base.

{{-}}{{anchor|OptimusRaceway}}
*'''Optimus Prime Bird Raceway''' (''Telepods'' track set, 2014)

: A small, non-transforming figure of Starscream Pig in jet mode is included in the Optimus Prime Bird Raceway set. It can be mounted atop the raceway's flagpole, and is sent spinning when a ''Telepods'' Racer figure rolls past.

*'''Optimus Prime Attack Game''' (''Jenga'' game, 2014)

: The Optimus Prime Attack Game includes two Minion Pig heads, one as Starscream Pig, and one as the curiously-only-exists-in-this-one-set [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]] Pig (it seems to be based on the enemies of the same name, but looks a bit different). They can be placed among ''{{w|Jenga}}'' blocks inside a [[Hal#Jenga|Grimlock Bird frame]] to be knocked away by a launched vehicle. They can also be attached to any of the non-transforming ''Angry Birds Transformers Jenga'' vehicles... or any [[5 mm post|5mm post]] in general. Because you know you want to put a Minion Pig head on every Transformer possible.

: Don't lie. You do.

==Notes==
*Among the features the Pig army had in the earliest builds of the game that have long since been removed are: pigs with TV antennae, another kind of random-shooting box-helmeted pig, pigs with rapid-fire lasers, rapid-fire rockets, or deadly shotgun blasts of quick and accurate green lasers, balloon pigs with their dynamite/candles lit, with some having more than one balloon, and flying pigs with rockets, shotgun blasts, rapid-fire blasts, or even deadly lasers! Though Shotgun Pig was brought back to the game in the jungle update.
* Every character in the game does a little dance when idling on the character upgrade screen. All of the jet-pigs do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 The Carlton].
* As the player upgrades each playable character, their models can gain new pieces of armor. At level 7, all the jet-pigs' helmets start gaining protrusions resembling a familiar-looking [[Transformer clothing#Headwear|crown]]. However, putting on a head Accessory removes this extra armor.
* Thundercracker's Shield Accessory is based on [[Baro]], the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Arms Micron]]. (A [[Baro#Silver|chrome-silver version of Baro]] was packed in with [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Toys|''Prime'' Thundercracker]].)
* [[Tony Hale]] voiced a Minion Pig called '''[[wikia:angrybirds:Ross|Ross]]''' in the 2016 ''Angry Birds'' animated movie.
* Rather than being added to the game separately, all three Coneheads were added at the same time.
* Minion Pig is currently the character with the most incarnations in the game, even when not counting the Eggbot Army.
* All of the Minion Pigs (except one) use edited versions of Ross' Bad Piggies voicelines.

:''Minion Pigs are [[Bad Piggies]] and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

Starscream Pig was part of a crazy dance party at the Deceptihogs' headquarters, where they used the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Deceptihogs' Revenge}}

A swarm of Flying Pigbots pestered Bumblebee Bird, raining down laser blasts onto him. When one of their stray shots destroyed the little umbrella in Heatwave Bird's drink, who was relaxing nearby, the irate Autobird took them all out with a single blast of his cannon. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Best Buddies}}

A swarm of Flying Pigbots chased Arcee Bird and Optimus Prime Bird to a cliff edge.

When the Allspark Egg crashed into Piggy Island, its hordes of Minion pigs were granted Cybertronic armor.

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

====As Acid Storm====
[[File:Acid-Storm-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Kremzeek!]]
*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

The arrival of the first [[Rainmaker]] in action. As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

====As Starscream====
[[File:Starscream-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

For some reason, they decided to add the basic version of Starscream ''after'' the energon variant. This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit laserbeams (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''

Sunstorm launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level. Instead like every other Combiner in the game, he dismembers himself and rockets off along with Astrotrain.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a black hole bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of eight (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====
[[File:Cyclonuspig.jpeg|thumb|250px]]
*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does... if you're playing as Cyclonus. He doesn't quake in vehicle mode if he's your call-in partner, but at least he defaults to his mega laser as your Eggbot-bashing buddy.

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires clips of three conjoined soundwaves that travel in a wobbly dancing-esque motion before hitting the target. And if it's not enough, his soundwaves contain the paralyzing effects of EMP, and triggers targets to suffer damage over time for a short period. Although it might not seem enough.

[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction and damages them at the same time, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. AND, they retain the same stunning EMP effects of his null-ray. This could only mean 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

Another Rainmaker arrives in the form of [[Ion Storm]]. His weapon is similar to [[Ironhide]]'s; it quickly rains down three lime colored diagonal beams on the powerless piggies. And to harness the power of storms even more, his beams are juiced with EMP effects. Wish an early prayer for all Walking Mortar Towers and piggies alike....

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm (yes, yet again) to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to leave 'em shocked. Well.

[[File:Novastormpig.jpeg|thumb|200px]]
*''Squad'': '''Reinforcements'''

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gem purchase
While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Although it's unknown as to why the game depicts Nova as a 'male' as per her squad biodata.

As the last ever Rainmaker to be released in the game (and also original character), Nova Storm's weapon is a blue water bullet blaster that specializes in displacing the blocks of structures and any piggy bystander. These shots can cause even more misery with their splash damage effects. Additionally, upon higher upgrades, these water bullets upgrade to large purple ones, and towers and pigs on screen will simply blast out of oblivion upon getting touched by them.

*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
The war continues and the Deceptihogs decide to send in the ultimate weapon, a Combiner! Sergeant Devastator is massive and will do his best to take down the Autobirds. But the Autobirds have a titan their own- [[Bomb (AB)#As Sergeant Omega Supreme|Sergeant Omega Supreme]].

His weapon acts just like his original.

The Deceptihogs once again need someone who can take to the skies in order to take down [[Stella (AB)#As Scout Arcee|Scout Arcee]], and so they send in their top Seeker, Acid Storm. With his acid rain as a weapon against the Autobirds, the Deceptihogs will surely win. Right?

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

Having just recently arrived on the island, Seeker Nova Storm is near instantly dragged into the violent Autobird-Deceptihog war as she is needed to counteract the appointment of [[Mighty Eagle#As Captain Alpha Trion|Captain Alpha Trion]] as the new Autobird leader. Will her explosive attitude be enough to squash the old and wise Transformer?

Her weapon is unchanged. Nothing else to say.

*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.

After months upon months of victory, the Deceptihogs now find themselves slapped miles back at the hand of [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|General Optimus Prime Neon]]. As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, he retains his shocking stone-throwing launcher. Nothing new.

Now that the Deceptihogs have set up their new supply HQ, all seems to be going well for the green-tinted army. There is one wee little problem though: [[Stella (AB)#As Neon Chromia|Neon Chromia]] has investigated the new high-tech warehouse and is now plotting to infiltrate and incinerate! It is up to Neon Thundercracker now to protect the Deceptihogs' new pride.

Having drunk the evil juice, Neon Thundercracker now too experiences Energon effects. You know what that means. The blue TNT thrower still remains with him, though.

Having the powers of Neon he takes more damage but can heal from Energon cubes.

Neon Ramjet assumes the durability trade-off typical for Neon variants in favor of Energon healing. Otherwise, he plays identical to his other versions.
{{-}}

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach, like in events), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px|Who could it be now? *Sax*]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

His jet design ''miiight'' be based on [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]. Well, based on the colors, anyways. The actual design is a carbon copy of the other Seekers.

: As a [[Telepod]] figure, Energon Starscream Pig [[Autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from jet to robot by pushing back his noggin, and back just by pushing him down.

Doing so repairs in-game Energon Starscream's damage, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

==Notes==
*Among the features the Pig army had in the earliest builds of the game that have long since been removed are: pigs with TV antennae, another kind of random-shooting box-helmeted pig, pigs with rapid-fire lasers, rapid-fire rockets, or deadly shotgun blasts of quick and accurate green lasers, balloon pigs with their dynamite/candles lit, with some having more than one balloon, and flying pigs with rockets, shotgun blasts, rapid-fire blasts, or even deadly lasers! Though Shotgun Pig was brought back to the game in the jungle update.
* Every character in the game does a little dance when idling on the character upgrade screen. All of the jet-pigs do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 The Carlton].
* As the player upgrades each playable character, their models can gain new pieces of armor. At level 7, all the jet-pigs' helmets start gaining protrusions resembling a familiar-looking [[Transformer clothing#Headwear|crown]]. However, putting on a head Accessory removes this extra armor.
* Thundercracker's Shield Accessory is based on [[Baro]], the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Arms Micron]]. (A [[Baro#Silver|chrome-silver version of Baro]] was packed in with [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Toys|''Prime'' Thundercracker]].)
* [[Tony Hale]] voiced a Minion Pig called '''[[wikia:angrybirds:Ross|Ross]]''' in the 2016 ''Angry Birds'' animated movie.
* Rather than being added to the game separately, all three Coneheads were added at the same time.
* Minion Pig is currently the character with the most incarnations in the game, even when not counting the Eggbot Army.
* All of the Minion Pigs (except one) use edited versions of Ross' Bad Piggies voicelines.

[[File:Drift-Bird-Event.jpg|thumb|I am a Samurai, but also "whk-whek-whek-whk-whkk" a bomb!]]
'''Bomb''' is a bomb. And a bird. A bomb bird. Despite his explosive properties, Bomb gets along well with the other members of the [[Flock]], and frequently shows concern for their well-being. After being upgraded into '''[[Drift (G1)|Drift]] Bird''' by the EggSpark, he displays a single-minded obsession with "honor" and becomes more even-tempered. He nonetheless acts as a fierce warrior when he finds himself immersed in battle. In his new form, he also displays a preference towards using his newly-acquired sword, though his upgrade has not robbed him of his explosive capabilities.

Taking on the guise of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] allows Bomb to combine his explosive tendencies with Wheeljack's inventions.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Birdsareok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left]]
After the [[Bad Piggies]] had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Bomb accompanied his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] managed to foul up [[Red (AB)|Red's]] attack plan, causing the Bad Piggies' building to collapse on top of the Flock while [[King Pig]] and his minions escaped. Using his explosive abilities, Bomb managed to disinter himself, [[Terence (AB)|Terence]], [[Bubbles]], and Chuck from the rubble. The [[Blues]] then flew off, intent on securing the eggs on their own. Upon noting their absence, the rest of the Flock began searching for them, only for the Blues to return and babble about an "[[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]" transforming the Bad Piggies into "[[Deceptihog]]s." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 DriftBirdintro.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|"I have shamed myself. I must commit Sudoku."]]
By the time Bomb came upon the EggSpark, it had already transformed fellow birds Chuck and [[Hal]] into "Bumblebee Bird" and "Grimlock Bird" respectively. The group puzzled over their friends' new forms, with Bomb helping Terence point out that their strange new appendages were called "arms and legs." Though taken aback at first, Bomb and the rest of the Flock eventually agreed to also touch the EggSpark and upgrade themselves into "[[Autobird]]s." Upon becoming Drift Bird, Bomb was overtaken by the sudden urge to [[introdump|exposit about his new form and persona]]. He explained that he was now ruled by honor and clarity of purpose. He could still blow up though. Upon Optimus Prime Bird's command, Bomb and the rest of the group transformed and rolled out into action. They eventually caught up to the Deceptihogs, and steeled themselves for a confrontation. Drift Bird found himself reminding the others that there was no need to recklessly rush into combat. As the inevitable battle became underway, Drift Bird cheered on Heatwave Bird as the latter battle [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]]. The scuffle came to an abrupt end when the Flocks' eggs, having been previously exposed to the EggSpark, sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:Angry Birds Transformers Issue 2 Drift Vehicle Mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left|I woke up in a new Bugatti]]
The two factions joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]], and Drift Bird once more entered the fray. The battle did not go well, forcing the 'bots to change tactics. Drift Bird was assigned to a team whose mission was to rescue [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]], previously captured by the Eggbots. His fellow teammate, [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] got himself captured in turn, prompting Drift Bird to exclaim that honor demanded they save <s>him</s> them. The rescue operation had to be put off as Drift Bird and the remaining members of his team found themselves surrounded by gargantuan Eggbots. During the battle, Drift Bot heard clanging coming from within the structure in which Bluestreak Bird and Starscream Pig were being held captive. Using one of his swords, he cut open an exit for them, sending both Bluestreak Bird and a battalion of Eggbots pouring out of the hole. The Eggbots from within met with the Eggbots from outside, and frightened one another into fleeing. Having rescued their friend, the group reconvened with the rest of their teammates to further plan out their battle tactics. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF3 DriftBirdfightseggs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Due to the EggSpark's ongoing influence, [[Piggy Island]] became increasingly dangerous and unstable. Realizing that they needed to separate the artifact from the land to end the madness, the Autobirds and Deceptihogs headed in its direction. When they found their path obstructed by a colossal wall, Drift Bird activated his explosive abilities to breach it. Though he was successful in clearing a path to the EggSpark, his display of power had left Drift Bomb disoriented and unable to help further. The EggSpark was nonetheless launched off-planet, returning Piggy Island and its inhabitants to their natural state. As the restored Flock discussed the day's events, Bomb pointed out that they all had been acting out of character upon receiving their robot bodies. He then joined Terence and Bubbles in listening to Hal play some tunes on his banjo. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

*''Squad'': '''The Hotrods'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event, in-game purchase

One of the slower sports-car bots, Drift requires patience and careful aim. He hurls slow-moving electrified shurikens that don't do immediate damage, but explode a half-second after impact, destroying entire structures. Hit the right block in a tower and the effect can be devastating. Its effect on flying foes ''is'' immediate, however, as the charged projectiles act like an [[electromagnetic pulse]], dropping flying Pigs out of the air and stopping [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s and Monoliths in their tracks, . Even better, the EMP effect has a blast radius that can take out multiple flying Pigs with a single shot.

He was first unlockable in the "2-Year Celebration!" [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)/Challenge Events|Challenge Event]], which ran from [[October 5]] through [[October 14]] 2016. He cost a whopping ''7500'' Tokens to unlock (the highest cost for a character at the time), which were earned through daily challenges in special stages. However, he could also be bought and unlocked instantly as part of the "Drift Bundle" in the first two days and the last two days of the Event, which included Drift, his Great Sword Accessory, and 1000 Gems, all for a mere $29.99 in real actual money. No, we're not kidding. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

====As Wheeljack====
[[File:ABTF-screen Bomb Wheeljack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Optimus! I built a machine that builds giant slingshots!]]
*''Squad'': '''The Wreckers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event

Combining Bomb's explosive nature with Wheeljack's explosive inventions can't be good for his productivity in his workshop. Ever so often he does successfully create new (and expensive) gadgets like the miniature [[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]], But it probably makes [[Terence (AB)|Ratchet]] all the more grumpy when he has to put him and his workshop back together.

His newest weapon/gadget is a salvo rocket launcher that fires a cluster of lobbed explosive missiles! Much more powerful and effective than those of that yellow Sunstorm Pig.

Wheeljack was newly introduced in December 2016, and was available for 7500 tokens in the game's Christmas event. Surprisingly, there was no real-money character bundle with Wheeljack for sale, but there was one in the next event that focused on getting just one accessory for him.

====As Grapple====

*''Squad'': '''Support'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event

Grapple is normally an architect/artist, but in this game, he works with the other Autobirds and Deceptihogs to demolish towers.

In battle, Grapple is rather unusual. His weapon is a lightning beam attack, but in terms of attack power, it’s extremely weak, even at level 15, de-cyberforming scenery slower than [[Red (AB)#As Optimus Prime|Optimus Prime]]. Combined with his somewhat weak health makes him seem rather useless. However, if there is a close enough block or grounded pig to where the weapon starts firing, the nearest block or grounded pig will be teleported to that location. It can then be dragged around, and if the weapon stops in some way that involves becoming a different form, (vehicle, washing machine, scrambled body) it will be immobilized in place until he returns to humanoid form.

There are many ways to use this weapon to your advantage, like using the objects as wrecking balls, or using them as cover from enemy attacks. The best way to put Grapple to your advantage is to be creative. Although you can use other Transformers better.

Grapple follows the trend of event availability, being obtainable in the event of the same name for 10000 tokens.

====As Warpath====

*''Squad'': '''Support'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event

Who would have thought that crazy Bomb would go with crazy Warpath? His weapon is a piercing instant-hit laser something like the various [[Corporal Pig#Games|Galvatrons]], which obliterates most anything it hits as well as leaving a (weak) vortex in its wake. But the real power comes once he's leveled up a bit, which adds a hefty splash-damage explosion on contact with a target. Warpath can vaporize whole block towers with a single shot, and never needs to reload to boot! See, destructive.

But he does have one ''huge'' weakness: overheating. Too much rapid tap-blasting will make his gun overheat, and when targeting things that take more than one direct hit to destroy, such as [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s, his weapon fires ''extremely'' rapidly and will overheat ''extremely'' quickly. The cooldown from an overheat takes several seconds, leaving him vulnerable, so tap responsibly, learn to ''un''-target Mortar Towers quickly after one or two hits... and try to get some of his cooldown-improving accessories quickly!

====As Omega Supreme====

*''Squad'': '''Gestalt'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Gem Purchase
The fact that [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] is the biggest Autobot around clearly confused the game developers: they put him in the Gestalt squad, together with Combiner [[Hal#As Volcanicus|Volcanicus]]. On top of that, one of Omega’s accessories is an [[Enigma of Combination]]. Ah well. It’s still a strong character with a pretty cool model... Right?

Omega wields three different weapons in this game: the first is a gold colored instant-hit beam that holds blocks in the air to be dragged around by the player. This beam never overheats. The secondary weapon is a red colored instant-hit beam that has a life of its own, targeting random blocks and/or pigs and quickly destroying them. This beam does overheat but does not really take long to recharge. And last but not least there is the special ability that replaces the vehicle mode for this giant Autobird: upon activation, Omega will make the Fist-Slam move, that big characters do when there’s stuff in their path, and all ice, wood and stone blocks on the screen will simply cease to exist, leaving piggies that were previously positioned on towers no choice but to plummet to their deaths.

The Autobirds need to keep winning and now even Private Mirage is joining the war. But danger lurks in the shadows as Drift has turned to the dark side and is now known as Private Deadlock. This evil shell of an Autobird soldier will surely let the Deceptihogs take the island...

Private Deadlock's weapon is very similar to the original Drift's weapon.

With still not an end to this war in sight, both sides recruit their last warriors.

And well...who would have guessed that his weapon is just the same as his original? Definitely not the players who keep buying the passes, right?

Once again, there is no tangible difference in Neon Wheeljack's weapons to his other variants. But as a Neon character, this version can heal from Energon cubes collected in levels.

==Notes==
*Though Bomb/Drift appeared in the early, made-before-the-games-were-done fiction, he did not appear in the game for ''two years''. Yowza.
*Like other early-plans-but-late-addition characters, his in-game appearance is significantly different from the original concept. Though he keeps the helmet design inspired by ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], his coloration is based on [[Drift (G1)|Generation 1 Drift]], and his body is an altered [[Bubbles|Bubbles/Jazz]] model. He even shares some of Jazz's dancing animations.
*Upgrading Drift used to require the use of [[Deceptihog]] Materials, a reference to how the various Drifts began their lives as Decepticons. Strangely, so did Wheeljack.
*[[Ty Olsson]] voiced Bomb in the ''Summer Madness'' animated series, while [[Kenji Nomura]] voiced him in the Japanese release of ''The Angry Birds Movie'' and its sequel.

:''Bomb is an [[Autobird]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Drift-Bird-Event.jpg|thumb|I am a Samurai, but also "whk-whek-whek-whk-whkk" a bomb!]]
'''Bomb''' is a bomb. And a bird. A bomb bird. Despite his explosive properties, Bomb gets along well with the other members of the [[Flock]], and frequently shows concern for their well-being. After being upgraded into '''[[Drift (G1)|Drift]] Bird''' by the EggSpark, he displays a single-minded obsession with "honor" and becomes more even-tempered. He nonetheless acts as a fierce warrior when he finds himself immersed in battle. In his new form, he also displays a preference towards using his newly-acquired sword, though his upgrade has not robbed him of his explosive capabilities.

Taking on the guise of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] allows Bomb to combine his explosive tendencies with Wheeljack's inventions.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Birdsareok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left]]
After the [[Bad Piggies]] had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Bomb accompanied his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] managed to foul up [[Red (AB)|Red's]] attack plan, causing the Bad Piggies' building to collapse on top of the Flock while [[King Pig]] and his minions escaped. Using his explosive abilities, Bomb managed to disinter himself, [[Terence (AB)|Terence]], [[Bubbles]], and Chuck from the rubble. The [[Blues]] then flew off, intent on securing the eggs on their own. Upon noting their absence, the rest of the Flock began searching for them, only for the Blues to return and babble about an "[[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]" transforming the Bad Piggies into "[[Deceptihog]]s." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 DriftBirdintro.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|"I have shamed myself. I must commit Sudoku."]]
By the time Bomb came upon the EggSpark, it had already transformed fellow birds Chuck and [[Hal]] into "Bumblebee Bird" and "Grimlock Bird" respectively. The group puzzled over their friends' new forms, with Bomb helping Terence point out that their strange new appendages were called "arms and legs." Though taken aback at first, Bomb and the rest of the Flock eventually agreed to also touch the EggSpark and upgrade themselves into "[[Autobird]]s." Upon becoming Drift Bird, Bomb was overtaken by the sudden urge to [[introdump|exposit about his new form and persona]]. He explained that he was now ruled by honor and clarity of purpose. He could still blow up though. Upon Optimus Prime Bird's command, Bomb and the rest of the group transformed and rolled out into action. They eventually caught up to the Deceptihogs, and steeled themselves for a confrontation. Drift Bird found himself reminding the others that there was no need to recklessly rush into combat. As the inevitable battle became underway, Drift Bird cheered on Heatwave Bird as the latter battle [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]]. The scuffle came to an abrupt end when the Flocks' eggs, having been previously exposed to the EggSpark, sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:Angry Birds Transformers Issue 2 Drift Vehicle Mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left|I woke up in a new Bugatti]]
The two factions joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]], and Drift Bird once more entered the fray. The battle did not go well, forcing the 'bots to change tactics. Drift Bird was assigned to a team whose mission was to rescue [[Minion Pig|Starscream Pig]], previously captured by the Eggbots. His fellow teammate, [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] got himself captured in turn, prompting Drift Bird to exclaim that honor demanded they save <s>him</s> them. The rescue operation had to be put off as Drift Bird and the remaining members of his team found themselves surrounded by gargantuan Eggbots. During the battle, Drift Bot heard clanging coming from within the structure in which Bluestreak Bird and Starscream Pig were being held captive. Using one of his swords, he cut open an exit for them, sending both Bluestreak Bird and a battalion of Eggbots pouring out of the hole. The Eggbots from within met with the Eggbots from outside, and frightened one another into fleeing. Having rescued their friend, the group reconvened with the rest of their teammates to further plan out their battle tactics. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF3 DriftBirdfightseggs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Due to the EggSpark's ongoing influence, [[Piggy Island]] became increasingly dangerous and unstable. Realizing that they needed to separate the artifact from the land to end the madness, the Autobirds and Deceptihogs headed in its direction. When they found their path obstructed by a colossal wall, Drift Bird activated his explosive abilities to breach it. Though he was successful in clearing a path to the EggSpark, his display of power had left Drift Bomb disoriented and unable to help further. The EggSpark was nonetheless launched off-planet, returning Piggy Island and its inhabitants to their natural state. As the restored Flock discussed the day's events, Bomb pointed out that they all had been acting out of character upon receiving their robot bodies. He then joined Terence and Bubbles in listening to Hal play some tunes on his banjo. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

*''Squad'': '''The Hotrods'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event, in-game purchase

One of the slower sports-car bots, Drift requires patience and careful aim. He hurls slow-moving electrified shurikens that don't do immediate damage, but explode a half-second after impact, destroying entire structures. Hit the right block in a tower and the effect can be devastating. Its effect on flying foes ''is'' immediate, however, as the charged projectiles act like an [[electromagnetic pulse]], dropping flying Pigs out of the air and stopping [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s and Monoliths in their tracks, . Even better, the EMP effect has a blast radius that can take out multiple flying Pigs with a single shot.

He was first unlockable in the "2-Year Celebration!" [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)/Challenge Events|Challenge Event]], which ran from [[October 5]] through [[October 14]] 2016. He cost a whopping ''7500'' Tokens to unlock (the highest cost for a character at the time), which were earned through daily challenges in special stages. However, he could also be bought and unlocked instantly as part of the "Drift Bundle" in the first two days and the last two days of the Event, which included Drift, his Great Sword Accessory, and 1000 Gems, all for a mere $29.99 in real actual money. No, we're not kidding. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

====As Omega Supreme====
[[File:BombSupreme.jpeg|thumb|250px|“So how do you feel about being mistaken for a combiner?”<br>“Feelings: mixed.”]]
*''Squad'': '''Gestalt'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Gem Purchase
The fact that [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] is the biggest Autobot around clearly confused the game developers: they put him in the Gestalt squad, together with Combiner [[Hal#As Volcanicus|Volcanicus]]. On top of that, one of Omega’s accessories is an [[Enigma of Combination]]. Ah well. It’s still a strong character with a pretty cool model... Right?

Omega wields three different weapons in this game: the first is a gold colored instant-hit beam that holds blocks in the air to be dragged around by the player. This beam never overheats. The secondary weapon is a red colored instant-hit beam that has a life of its own, targeting random blocks and/or pigs and quickly destroying them. This beam does overheat but does not really take long to recharge. And last but not least there is the special ability that replaces the vehicle mode for this giant Autobird: upon activation, Omega will make the Fist-Slam move, that big characters do when there’s stuff in their path, and all ice, wood and stone blocks on the screen will simply cease to exist, leaving piggies that were previously positioned on towers no choice but to plummet to their deaths.

The Autobirds need to keep winning and now even Private Mirage is joining the war. But danger lurks in the shadows as Drift has turned to the dark side and is now known as Private Deadlock. This evil shell of an Autobird soldier will surely let the Deceptihogs take the island...

Private Deadlock's weapon is very similar to the original Drift's weapon.

With still not an end to this war in sight, both sides recruit their last warriors.

And well...who would have guessed that his weapon is just the same as his original? Definitely not the players who keep buying the passes, right?

==Notes==
*Though Bomb/Drift appeared in the early, made-before-the-games-were-done fiction, he did not appear in the game for ''two years''. Yowza.
*Like other early-plans-but-late-addition characters, his in-game appearance is significantly different from the original concept. Though he keeps the helmet design inspired by ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], his coloration is based on [[Drift (G1)|Generation 1 Drift]], and his body is an altered [[Bubbles|Bubbles/Jazz]] model. He even shares some of Jazz's dancing animations.
*Upgrading Drift used to require the use of [[Deceptihog]] Materials, a reference to how the various Drifts began their lives as Decepticons. Strangely, so did Wheeljack.
*[[Ty Olsson]] voiced Bomb in the ''Summer Madness'' animated series, while [[Kenji Nomura]] voiced him in the Japanese release of ''The Angry Birds Movie'' and its sequel.

:''Minion Pigs are [[Bad Piggies]] and [[Deceptihog]]s from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ABTF4 AllSpark and MinionPig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Dumb as rocks and just as numerous, '''Minion Pigs''' form the overwhelming bulk of the [[Bad Piggies]]' forces. Though they are all spineless (both literally and figuratively) simpering sycophants, they all share an immense love for their homeland, and loathe to see any harm come to it. They also savor the taste of those tasty eggs guarded by the [[Flock]], though [[King Pig]] and his higher-ups always hog all the goods.

When the [[AllSpark]] crashed on [[Piggy Island]], some Minion Pigs were granted the form and power of [[Decepticon]]s like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], whilst many many '''''many''''' more were transformed into robotic servants of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]].

The upgraded [[Deceptihog]] Minion Pigs display similar personality traits to that of their namesakes, with '''Starscream Pig''' notably proving that the name goes hand-in-hand with a lust for power and unbridled ambition... though thankfully for King Pig, that one didn't get any ''smarter'' than he was before the upgrade.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 MinionPigSnout.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|left]]
Four Minion Pigs were holding up [[King Pig]]'s throne when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building. The bird's entrance interrupted King Pig's latest attempt at cooking the [[Flock]]'s eggs, and the entirety of the [[Bad Piggies]] were sent fleeing. As they ran, King Pig remarked that the Birds had only managed to forestall his next meal, which was of little consequence since he wasn't even hungry yet. One of the Minion Pigs interjected that King Pig had said the he was starving just a few moments beforehand. King Pig told him to shut up. Foreman Pig also chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]]. One of the Minion Pigs was overwhelmed with sadness upon seeing the destruction the artifact had caused by crashing into [[Piggy Island]]. All of the other Pig Minions agreed that they loved the island, and hated to see any harm come to it. King Pig steered the conversation back onto the topic of his next meal, and ordered [[Chef Pig]] to find out whether or not the EggSpark could be used as an egg-cooker. Chef Pig passed the task onto one of the Minions, shoving him into the EggSpark. Upon touching the artifact, the Minion Pig became Starscream Pig!

[[File:ABTF1-StarscreamPigInABox.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Despite King Pig's disgust over his subordinate's new form, Starscream Pig was ecstatic. He flubbed his first attempt at transforming, however, assuming the form of a jack-in-the-box. His second attempt was more successful, and Starscream Pig flew off in the form of a jet. He then amused himself by creating scribbles in the sky with his exhaust fumes. Though most of the other pigs touched the EggSpark in order to be granted robotic bodies, none of the other Minions did so. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and the remaining three Minion Pigs were tasked with carrying [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], as he was unable to transform out of his "toilet mode." {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF1 StarscreamPig vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
The Minion Pigs must've become tired of carrying Lockdown Pig, as [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] was next seen carrying him instead. Starscream Pig began questioning Megatron Pig's authority, demanding to know why HE shouldn't be in charge of the [[Deceptihog]]s instead. One of the Minions wholeheartedly agreed with Starscream Pig, while another pessimistically stated that Starscream Pig would only succeed in incurring Megatron Pig's wrath. The last Minion Pig began to formulate his own ideas, stating that maybe leadership should be granted to those who merit it... They were all told to clam it by Megatron Pig.

As the Deceptihogs argued between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Though Starscream Pig managed to fly away, the rest of the Deceptihogs became trapped inside of it, thanks to Galvatron Pig's recklessness. Lockdown Pig deduced that the tower's appearance had been caused by the EggSpark's ongoing influence on Piggy Island. The Minions became gravely upset when they learned that their beloved island was imperiled. [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] then burst in and attacked the Deceptihogs. He was defeated in short order, but no sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the [[Autobird]]s arrived. The three Minions took on [[Blues|Bluestreak Bird]] in the ensuing fight. However, the fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Starscream Pig then called his leader to inform him that Piggy Island's transformation was now fully underway. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF3 StarscreamPigplots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat the newly arisen threat, though the battle did not go well. The Minions were once more upset over how much the collateral damage was being dealt to the island. Starscream Pig was ensnared by metallic tentacles that shot out of a nearby Terror Tower, and imprisoned within. The pigs and birds were forced to change tactics. The three Minion Pigs were tasked to a group who's mission would be to capture one of the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]] for study. Unfortunately, the crazed Galvatron Pig was also assigned to their group, and the pigs had their hooves full simply stopping him from wrecking everything in sight.

Elsewhere, Bluestreak Bird had also been captured by the Terror Tower, and brought to the same holding cell housing Starscream Pig. Though the Autobird lost his cool at first, Starscream Pig was able to give him a short pep talk that gave him renewed strength. Bluestreak Bird broke free of his bonds and began hauling Starscream Pig about. When the pair stumbled across a room containing several creepy-looking Eggbots, Bluestreak Bird panicked and dropped Starscream Pig, leaving him to be trampled by the out-rushing eggs.

[[File:ABTF4 UpgradedMinionPigs.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
Outside, the three Minion Pigs had achieved little success in stopping Galvatron Pig. Thankfully, [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] was finally able to take out the rogue Deceptihog, though he knocked out the Minions in the process. They were brought back to the others by Heatwave Bird, just as Starscream Pig informed the others that Piggy Island's transformation was now spiraling out of control. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

Megatron Pig suggested that they simply let the transformation run its course. The Minions were against this plan, as it would mean that Piggy Island would surely die. The Autobird/Deceptihog alliance eventually settled on a different plan: by separating the EggSpark from the land, they theorized that everything would return to normal. As they made a mad dash for the EggSpark, Lockdown Pig noted that Starscream Pig was being suspiciously quiet. Little did Lockdown Pig suspect that Starscream Pig had already begun to plan to seize the EggSpark's power for himself.

[[File:ABTF4 EggSpark-powered StarscreamPig.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Meanwhile, the three Minions had begun to undergo changes that matched their island's metamorphosis. They now possessed snazzy robotic helmets, and the ability to fly! They aided Bluestreak Bird in his search for the means to propel the EggSpark off-planet: a giant slingshot! But when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, the minions abandoned Bluestreak Bird, and left him buried underneath a monolith. Deciding they could simply "get over" losing their island, they attempted to leave it behind. As they reached the sea, they realized that they had betrayed their ideals, and doubled back to rescue their fallen ally. A sincere apology later, they were back on track to complete their mission. They rejoined the rest of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs, slingshot in tow, just as the EggSpark came within reach. Unfortunately, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and the terrified Minions fled once more.

Seizing the opportunity, Starscream Pig grabbed a hold of the EggSpark while everyone else was distracted. The artifact's power caused him to grow to gargantuan proportions. Starscream Pig then challenged Galvatron Pig to a one-on-one match, winner take all! The showdown never happened, as [[Chuck (AB)|Bumblebee Bird]] stepped in, and used the giant slingshot to launch both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Starscream Pig reverted to his original form, traversed dimensions, and crashed through on of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s windows. The Minion Pig then sheepishly asked if the [[Autobot]]s aboard could give him a ride back home.

Back on Piggy Island, everything returned to the way it had been before the EggSpark's arrival. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, the three remaining Minions had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Energon Starscream Pig believed he could come up with the best battle plans, and snorted at all those who said otherwise! While scanning Piggy Island, he spotted Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird cruising along by himself. The Minion Pig planned to catch him by surprise and swooped down to ambush him. At the last astro-second, the Autobird heard Starscream Pig coming and knocked him out of the sky with his ladder. Later, Starscream Pig participated in a great big clash against the Autobirds in the middle of a desert. The Deceptihogs were defeated and had to flee the battleground. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

Starscream Pig was part of a crazy dance party at the Deceptihogs' headquarters, where they used the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Deceptihogs' Revenge}}

A swarm of Flying Pigbots pestered Bumblebee Bird, raining down laser blasts onto him. When one of their stray shots destroyed the little umbrella in Heatwave Bird's drink, who was relaxing nearby, the irate Autobird took them all out with a single blast of his cannon. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Best Buddies}}

When the Allspark Egg crashed into Piggy Island, its hordes of Minion pigs were granted Cybertronic armor. Some got better gear including weapons though, and some even gained bodies based on the [[Decepticon]]s Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

The first of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s" to be unlocked, Thundercracker Pig relies on speed more than power. His weapon is a rapid-fire machinegun-style blaster that never needs reloading and doesn't overheat, but also doesn't do a whole lot of damage overall unless you concentrate your fire on a single target. It can push a stone block pretty decently, but it's best not to focus on hard targets like that. The blaster actually works better against glass and wood towers with a hold-and-swipe motion rather than a tap-aim one (especially if you have explosive rounds installed), spraying the field with blaster fire and doing widespread damage, letting gravity take care of the Piggies up top. On his feet, Thundercracker Pig isn't all that fast, but as a jet, he can really move!

[[Chef Pig#As Soundwave|Soundwave Pig]] once fed Starscream Pig an [[Energon cube]] sandwiched in a burger bun, causing the aerial Deceptihog to become empowered with [[Energon]]. This Energon infusion means his weapon, a gatling-style non-stop blaster like Thundercracker's, packs more punch per pew-pew. Unfortunately it also means he can't ''take'' as much of a punch, taking more damage than most other characters. Thankfully, he can restore some damage mid-level every time he absorbs an energon cube from a de-cyberformed piece of scenery.

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

The arrival of the first [[Rainmaker]] in action. As one would expect, Acid Storm shoots acid pellets that deal steady damage to targets over time after the initial hit. The pellets have a splash effect (literally, in this case) on impact, spreading the acid to close by targets; the initial hit doesn't sting as much, but the "melt" rate is just as powerful. Acid Storm has the lowest rate of fire of all the jet-pigs, at roughly one acid blast per second. Thankfully though, the pellets themselves are ''very'' quick in flight.

He and his accessories were first available in the "Acid Storm" event, and later in the "2-Year Celebration" event. On day four of this event, the "Acid Storm Bundle" was available for $24.99, which contained Acid Storm, 500 gems, and his Kremzeek accessory.

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (4800/5000 Tokens)

For some reason, they decided to add the basic version of Starscream ''after'' the energon variant. This non-energon-powered version of Starscream plays considerably different from his supercharged... cousin? brother? whatever... in that he has the power of the treacherous Decepticon's famous [[null-ray]]s. These instant-hit laserbeams (terrific for taking down missiles) can be fired in short bursts with a very quick reload period, but do little damage per strike to anything stronger than a Glass Block. However, they ''are'' null rays, and as such will drop flying Pigs out of the air (after they take a certain amount of damage), temporarily shut down [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s... and ''stop [[Monolith]]s in mid-fall''. Wow. [[Boss Pig]] ''used'' to be vulnerable to the null ray, plummeting face-first into the dirt and exploding with only a couple blasts... but he's since gotten shielded to that. Oh well.

Starscream Pig could initially only be unlocked through the "Seek & Destroy" competition, alongside Skywarp and Sunstorm, each one costing 4800 Tokens. Considering the short run of this competition, good damn luck unlocking all three without spending a ''lot'' of Gems. He and all of the other Challenge Event unlockable characters were also made available in the "2-Year Celebration" Event. On day six of this Event, the game offered the "Starscream Bundle" for $14.99, which contained Starscream and his crown and shoulder pads accessories.

====As Skywarp====
[[File:Skywarp-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary prankster and photobomber.]]
*''Squad'': '''The Seekers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[File:ABTransformersSkywarp.png|thumb|150px|left|Loves to push pigs down block-built stairs.]]

Originally, Skywarp Pig needed incentive to joining the fight. Some of the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were able to summon him into battle with Energon cubes, at which point he would fly into the area with a carpet-bomb attack. The more cubes he was given, the grander the scale of damage he was able to do. This changed with the introduction of the [[Energonicon]]s, and soon any member of the Autobird or Deceptihogs could summon Skywarp for a bombing run with [[Strikebot]] by their side. But he was eventually replaced in that role by a generic lavender-colored Seeker-type Minion when Skywarp became a fully-playable character.

As an in-the-field fighter, Skywarp launches a steady stream of incendiary missiles in a low arc with no reload time like all other seekers and like with Thundercracker and Energon Starscream, it's best to use the "drag" method of targeting to sweep across areas rather than tapping on individual objects. These missiles set anything they hit ablaze, doing steady damage well after the initial blast. This is especially useful against wood blocks, as the fire tends to spread from one flammable object to another. Naturally, it doesn't do a whole lot against stone blocks, and the glass blocks don't light on fire too well (luckily they can rarely take the initial hit anyway).

After the 2.0 update, Skywarp can sometimes be seen flying over the island, emitting a sound similar to Astrotrain blasting off at the end of an event. Tapping the poor guy makes him explode and it rewards the gruesome player with the grand total of 5 pigs. Such cruelty! Of course, have fun actually managing to hit him, because he flies ''really'' fast and seems to appear right after you exit a level.

{{note|In earlier builds of the game, players could spend a few Gems on the map to have Skywarp bomb a level out of playability, forcing the Eggbots to terraform a new area. This was mainly useful for if the intended character for an area was in the middle of a long upgrade you didn't want to interrupt, or to skip an unusually hard event. This has since been altered to spending a single Gem to have the game randomly pick a different character from your roster to play in the level.}}

*''Squad'': '''The Cybertronians'''

*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (5000 tokens)

Sunstorm launches lobbed explosive missiles that arc much higher than Skywarp's, destroying stone blocks with ease upon impact. But they're not very powerful nor effective at mass block destruction, especially non-stone materials, making him pretty weak but hey a character decent at destroying stone right.

On day eight of the "2-Year Celebration" Event, the "Sunstorm Bundle" was available for $14.99, which contained Sunstorm, 250 gems, and 25000 coins. (Sorry, no Shrapnel).

====As Devastator====
[[File:ABDevastator.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?"]]
*''Squad'': '''Combiners'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event Prize (10000 tokens), Gem Purchase, Bundle with Jungle Area

Devastator is HUGE. He barely fits into [[Astrotrain (AB)|Astrotrain]], and doesn't even try to at the end of a level. Instead like every other Combiner in the game, he dismembers himself and rockets off along with Astrotrain.

Playing as Devastator is significantly different than normal. He has no vehicle mode to avoid obstacles, so... he doesn't. [[Monolith]]s break themselves upon him leaving naught a scratch, and normal [[Missile silo|Missiles]] explode harmlessly on contact (ink missiles and the big missiles in [[Piggy Island|Pig City]] can still do some damage). He also cannot use [[Energonicon]]s at all.

Instead of all that, Devastator has a load of weapons. His normal fire is very similar to [[Bubbles#As Ricochet|Ricochet's]], a fast-moving high-damage missile with a lightly-curved arc that ricochets off anything it hits. He'll often automatically compliment this with a volley of high-arced bombs like [[Bomb (AB)#As Wheeljack|Wheeljack's]] weapon, a wide spread with high damage but very little splash damage range. And finally, the "transform" button is replaced with a target button that places five reticles on random targets, then launches a black hole bullet at each. This attack can even be triggered after Devastator falls in battle during the "spend Gems to continue" animation, netting you a few more last-minute points. This attack resets after a short cooldown. And as for any blocks or Pigs that get directly in his path? He has a screen-shaking leaping fist-slam attack that obliterates just about everything in close range and creates a shockwave that can topple towers further in the background. Even early on, Devastator is a terror.

Devastator is one of eight (as of this writing) characters who can be taken on a Challenge Run, which makes him a fairly valuable bot to upgrade and outfit as quick as possible. The post-knockout vortex bullet trick is definitely a nice bonus.

He uses a lot of [[Terence (AB)|Terence's]] animations, from the stompy-walk to the Riverdancing in the Barracks.

Devastator was originally available in the event of the same name for 10000 Tokens. He can also be unlocked at any time in a 3000-Gem package that also unlocks the Challenge Run and Jungle setting.

====As Cyclonus====
[[File:Cyclonuspig.jpeg|thumb|250px]]
*''Squad'': '''VIP'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize
[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] carries a new type of weapon. By tapping the screen, the player makes him fire thin laser beams at the targets. The lasers deal considerable splash damage to the structures.

But that's not all, because our piggy friend has a secondary weapon! By tapping and holding the screen, the player will make Cyclonus fire the biggest laser beam you've ever seen! For real, the thing is huge! It might even be bigger than [[Bomb (AB)#As Warpath|Warpath's]] laser. Downside to this laser is that it takes a very long time to charge up, which is understandable for a laser this big. After charging up, the player can fire the laser anytime they want, but Cyclonus can't hold his fire for too long because eventually it gets too hot and he'll have to release the charge.

And last but not least: he has a vehicle mode power: he does the whole vibrating-earthquake-thing that [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion]] also does... if you're playing as Cyclonus. He doesn't quake in vehicle mode if he's your call-in partner, but at least he defaults to his mega laser as your Eggbot-bashing buddy.

*''Squad'': '''Coneheads'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event (cost: 10000 Tokens), Gold Crates, gem purchase
[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] is apparently the most important [[Conehead]]. The Conehead Challenge Event, which ran from 24 July to 30 July and featured all three freshly-added Coneheads, called him “Top Prize,” and he in particular was stated to be added to Gold Crates, even though so were the other two Coneheads.

His weapon fires clips of three conjoined soundwaves that travel in a wobbly dancing-esque motion before hitting the target. And if it's not enough, his soundwaves contain the paralyzing effects of EMP, and triggers targets to suffer damage over time for a short period. Although it might not seem enough.

[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] is definitely the most explosive Conehead of the three: he throws TNT boxes at his targets as a weapon, similar to [[Zeta (AB)#As Nightbird|Nightbird's]] weapon, which also focuses on yeeting in-game blocks at structures. He also has a drain effect on enemies where he regenerates health from popping all those piggies. And while his TNT boxes can easily completely demolish structures and take out entire swarms of flying piggies, they don't do a whole lot of damage to [[Walking Mortar Tower|Mortar Towers]](well, unless you upgrade him high enough). Luckily, there is a small reload time to this weapon and it will keep on firing TNT at the big guys until they eventually explode too. And as if one explosion wasn't enough, the boxes also split into two more TNT boxes after hitting a target, which means triple destruction!

[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] is obsessed with safety. Other than his more explosive Conehead brothers, he focuses on quickly taking out those scary gunner piggies so that he won't lose any of his precious health points. To achieve this goal, he carries a swirly instant-hit laserbeam that drags pigs and blocks in a random direction and damages them at the same time, similar to [[Mighty Eagle#As Alpha Trion|Alpha Trion's]] weapon. The color of this beam is red with black accents. To guarantee his safety even more, he sometimes randomly activates an energy shield which blocks all gun blasts and missiles and such.

The Deceptihogs just got word that the Autobirds are trying to get the [[AllSpark|Eggspark]]! In this Bird-Pig war, our green friends DEFINITELY can't permit that! And thus [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] decides to send in one of his most valuable officers: Captain Starscream!

His weapon throws stone blocks at the targets in high arcs. Yeah that's definitely an anticlimax. They are great at exploding everything in a large radius, however. Additionally, these blocks split into smaller blocks upon impact, helping to really spread damage. AND, they retain the same stunning EMP effects of his null-ray. This could only mean 'adios' for everyone else on the screen.

All these victories on the Deceptihog side have made the piggies very full of themselves. But with the arrival of [[Stella (AB)#As Sergeant Chromia|Sergeant Chromia]], they should start getting worried if they can stand their ground! Luckily, the Deceptihogs have a sergeant of their own, who patrols the high skies eliminating every danger that comes in his path. But will he be enough for the full Autobird force?

Sergeant Thundercracker shoots blue TNT boxes that float to the target in a straight line, seemingly yeeting the target off the face of the earth. And oh..if you're wondering why blue, then alright. These boxes can somehow trigger a massive EMP storm (yes, yet again) to all enemies alike on the screen-enough to leave 'em shocked. Well.

While the previous female seeker to be added to the game was portrayed by [[Zeta (AB)#As Slipstream|Zeta]], it is true that there are in fact female Bad Piggies on the island! One of these poor ladies got too close to the [[AllSpark|EggSpark]] and was cyberformed into the feisty [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]!

Although it's unknown as to why the game depicts Nova as a 'male' as per her squad biodata.

As the last ever Rainmaker to be released in the game (and also original character), Nova Storm's weapon is a blue water bullet blaster that specializes in displacing the blocks of structures and any piggy bystander. These shots can cause even more misery with their splash damage effects. Additionally, upon higher upgrades, these water bullets upgrade to large purple ones, and towers and pigs on screen will simply blast out of oblivion upon getting touched by them.

After a gargantuan battle between the two Titans, Special Officer Skywarp is here and ready to take on [[Terence (AB)#As Special Officer Hound|Special Officer Hound]]. Being one of many Seekers, he can take to the skies as well.

His weapon is, disappointingly, just his original.

The Deceptihogs once again need someone who can take to the skies in order to take down [[Stella (AB)#As Scout Arcee|Scout Arcee]], and so they send in their top Seeker, Acid Storm. With his acid rain as a weapon against the Autobirds, the Deceptihogs will surely win. Right?

His weapon is literally just the same as his original weapon. What is it with Rovio and these unchanged Warpass weapons lately?

[[File:ABseekernovastorm.jpeg|thumb|150px]]
*''Squad'': '''Misfits Squad'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
Having just recently arrived on the island, Seeker Nova Storm is near instantly dragged into the violent Autobird-Deceptihog war as she is needed to counteract the appointment of [[Mighty Eagle#As Captain Alpha Trion|Captain Alpha Trion]] as the new Autobird leader. Will her explosive attitude be enough to squash the old and wise Transformer?

Her weapon is unchanged. Nothing else to say.

====As Seeker Ramjet====

*''Squad'': '''Raging Squad'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
Being part of the wide and ''expendable'' array of seekers, Ramjet hadn't really been doing much more than merely flying around looking for Autobird activity. But as all his skybound brothers are falling back to lick their wounds, the weight of the war drops hard on his shoulders. The Deceptihogs now count only on Seeker Ramjet to do what he does best: patrolling the skies and exterminating any Autobird scurrying around while the war slowly seems to be drawing nearer to some kind of conclusion...

Anyways, he uses his same old weapon, complete with his protective shield gadget.

After months upon months of victory, the Deceptihogs now find themselves slapped miles back at the hand of [[Red (AB)#As General Optimus Prime Neon|General Optimus Prime Neon]]. As the Autobirds celebrate and care for their wounded, [[King Pig#Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron Neon]] hatches new plans and re-energizes his primary seeker with the power of Neon. Neon Starscream blasts off, out for Autobird guts.

Just like Starscream's earlier [[Energon]] version, Neon Starscream takes far more damage from attacks in levels, but can heal up again by chomping up some Energon cubes. And yes, he retains his shocking stone-throwing launcher. Nothing new.

*''Squad'': '''Cobalt Crew'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 10)
Now that the Deceptihogs have set up their new supply HQ, all seems to be going well for the green-tinted army. There is one wee little problem though: [[Stella (AB)#As Neon Chromia|Neon Chromia]] has investigated the new high-tech warehouse and is now plotting to infiltrate and incinerate! It is up to Neon Thundercracker now to protect the Deceptihogs' new pride.

Having drunk the evil juice, Neon Thundercracker now too experiences Energon effects. You know what that means. The blue TNT thrower still remains with him, though.

Having the powers of Neon he takes more damage but can heal from Energon cubes

====As the Eggbot Army====
[[File:ABTF-screen-Piggies.jpg|thumb|You probably popped hundreds of thousands of these piggies. ''Millions'' in all the other Angry Birds games.]]

The overwhelming majority of King Pig's army joined the Eggbots in their goal of Cyberforming Piggy Island.

The most common Minions around are fragile as paper and have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, unless you count their annoying laughter. They simply bounce in place, waiting to be popped by weapons fire, by having blocks fall on them, or being dropped from a good height. (Although the damage they take seems a bit...janky, so sometimes they'll die just from falling a very short distance.) It would take just 1 Optimus Prime laser (mind you, un-upgraded) to send one of these to the depths of mechanical Hell. Well then.

Some Minions have developed guns, though! The red ones are known as “Stinger Pigs” and many can be spotted by their burgundy armor or boxy eye-obscuring helmets, but some are harder to spot! Their armaments range from simple green-laser projecting blasters to slow-but-volatile rocket launchers to multi-blast "shotguns". Their aim varies: some need a few moments to properly get their targets in their sights, but elite pigs (like the rocket launcher types) can readjust aims and be distressingly accurate even at long range. The shotgun variants, who don darker burgundy armor can be even more nasty, though- they fire quickly and are capable of ''shredding'' you with quick (but blind) blasts of pink laser quadruplets if you aren't prepared. These Minions tend to be a little tougher to pop, but thankfully a toppled but unpopped Minion generally can't right itself, and will just fire blindly in whatever direction it's facing. These Minions' shots can topple blocks and even injure their fellow Minions should they get in the way.

Some of these gunners grew propellers on their heads, making them dangerously mobile. These Minions like to pop up, sometimes in swarms, blocking your shots. They hover for a bit, fire simple blaster lasers at the player, and zip to a new location. If they are not popped quickly enough, they'll perform a kamikaze dive at the player which does a bit more damage than their blasters do.

Other Minions ''want'' to fly but can't, so they've settled for somehow getting way up high and tying balloons to themselves to float down gently. These Minions also lack blasters (man, what a bunch of losers), so instead they've attached sticks of dynamite to themselves (wait, what?!) so they can go kaboom once they get too close to an [[Autobird]] or [[Deceptihog]]. The quickest way to deal with them is by popping their supporting balloons, sending them falling helplessly to the ground.

And then there's the '''Sharktihogs''', Minions who have taken on the properties of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s. Found exclusively in the rivers of Cobalt Plateaus (and very occasionally at the beach, like in events), these piscine porcines lurk underwater with only their fins sticking out before levitating into the air. Thankfully, rather than trying to gnaw your face off, they shoot at you with simple blasters. They're not invulnerable while submerged either, so a sharp-eyed shooter can take them out before they strike! And well, if you ignore them for a period of time, they will simply disappear back into the water and cannot be targeted further.

Only in the newly discovered Caves, '''Bat Pigs''' are not mechanical, but bizarre dark green organic hybrids of pig and, well, bat. They barrel roll in front of the player and will eventually go kamikaze if not popped, which, surprisingly enough, doesn't do any damage. They are similar to Flying Pigs, except they literally do not do anything... other than just hover and they're much tougher. 750 of these are needed to unlock [[Matilda#As Nautica|Nautica]].

There's also a [[Boss Pig|Boss Bat Pig]]. Definitely the big, fat, grotesque ringleader of the Caves, and definitely not harmless either. Same could be said for the endless Bat Pig 'missiles' he projects at the combating player. I'll let you do a further dossier on this guy, alright.

====Unnamed Seeker====
[[File:unnamed-seeker-pig.jpeg|thumb|150px|Who could it be now? *Sax*]]

This piggy jet flies by and performs a carpet bombing attack when [[Strikebot]] is activated. He replaced Skywarp after our purple friend was added to the game as a playable character.

His jet design ''miiight'' be based on [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]. Well, based on the colors, anyways. The actual design is a carbon copy of the other Seekers.

==Notes==
*Among the features the Pig army had in the earliest builds of the game that have long since been removed are: pigs with TV antennae, another kind of random-shooting box-helmeted pig, pigs with rapid-fire lasers, rapid-fire rockets, or deadly shotgun blasts of quick and accurate green lasers, balloon pigs with their dynamite/candles lit, with some having more than one balloon, and flying pigs with rockets, shotgun blasts, rapid-fire blasts, or even deadly lasers! Though Shotgun Pig was brought back to the game in the jungle update.
* Every character in the game does a little dance when idling on the character upgrade screen. All of the jet-pigs do [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8 The Carlton].
* As the player upgrades each playable character, their models can gain new pieces of armor. At level 7, all the jet-pigs' helmets start gaining protrusions resembling a familiar-looking [[Transformer clothing#Headwear|crown]]. However, putting on a head Accessory removes this extra armor.
* Thundercracker's Shield Accessory is based on [[Baro]], the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Arms Micron]]. (A [[Baro#Silver|chrome-silver version of Baro]] was packed in with [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Toys|''Prime'' Thundercracker]].)
* [[Tony Hale]] voiced a Minion Pig called '''[[wikia:angrybirds:Ross|Ross]]''' in the 2016 ''Angry Birds'' animated movie.
* Rather than being added to the game separately, all three Coneheads were added at the same time.
* Minion Pig is currently the character with the most incarnations in the game, even when not counting the Eggbot Army.
* All of the Minion Pigs (except one) use edited versions of Ross' Bad Piggies voicelines.

:''The Chef Pig is a [[Deceptihog]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Model-soundwave.png|thumb|250px|Snoutwave superior, [[Minion Pig|Constructihogs]] inferior]]

[[King Pig]] and his minions are always hungry for some tasty eggs... And '''Chef Pig''' is the go-to pig for changing the stolen eggs into delicious meals! He is somewhat snooty, but is also one of the more level-headed of the [[Bad Piggies]]. After being upgraded by the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]] into '''[[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] Pig''', and '''[[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]] Pig''', he has become very analytically-minded, or can be insane as '''[[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] Pig''', but he has picked up the tendency to talk in short, simple sentences. With his newfound hands he has been given the frightening and awesome power to twirl his mustache, something he now does all the time.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 ChefPig yes you do.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
Chef Pig was about to cook up some eggs when [[Chuck (AB)|Chuck]] burst into [[Moustache Pig]]'s latest building, and the [[Bad Piggies]] were forced to flee. Chef Pig was sure to bring the eggs along, though. As they ran, King Pig began to think out loud on how he would like to eat the eggs. To cover up for a rude remark he had made in response, Chef Pig pointed at a plume of smoke rising up in the distance. Venturing towards the smoke, the Pigs stumbled upon the EggSpark. Thinking that the artifact might be used as an "egg-cooker," King Pig ordered Chef Pig to figure out how to use it. The cook passed the task on to one of the Minion Pigs hauling King Pig's throne, and shoved him into the EggSpark. Upon making contact, the Minion became "Starscream Pig." The rest of the pigs touched the artifact, and Chef Pig became Soundwave Pig! The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. In the struggle that followed, Soundwave Pig accidentally allowed the eggs to come into contact with the EggSpark. He quickly recollected them and the Deceptihogs fled. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 SoundwavePig twirls.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
As the Deceptihogs began to argue between themselves, a [[Terror Tower]] sprung up from beneath them. Thanks to Galvatron Pig's reckless actions, they then became trapped within the structure. As the Deceptihogs were puzzling out the fact that the tower's appearance was a result of the EggSpark's ongoing influence on [[Piggy Island]], Grimlock Bird attacked them once more. Soundwave Pig was knocked down and lost his grasp on the eggs yet again. After Grimlock Bird's defeat, Soundwave Pig was about to inform Megatron Pig that the eggs had been exposed to the EggSpark's transformative energies, when the rest of the Autobirds turned up. In the scuffle that followed, Soundwave Pig teamed up with Megatron Pig to take on [[Bubbles|Jazz Bird]]. The fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

[[File:ABTF4 SoundwavePig fights.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left]]
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to fight this newly arisen threat, though Soundwave Pig did little more than twirl his moustache while the others gave their all in combat. Soundwave Pig and Megatron Pig also tried to scheme together to seize power (and an egg dinner) in the battle's aftermath, but they were overheard by [[Red (AB)|Optimus Prime Bird]]. Megatron Pig and Optimus Prime Bird nearly broke their alliance, and had to be talked down by Soundwave Pig and [[Stella (AB)|Arcee Bird]]. The Autobirds and Deceptihogs agreed that they needed to change tactics if they hoped to stop Piggy Island from destroying itself. Soundwave Pig was assigned to a group tasked with capturing an Eggbot for study. His scheming nature won out once more however, as he allowed his teammates to be surrounded by giant Eggbots while he stood back and twirled his moustache again. [[Terence (AB)|Heatwave Bird]] made short work of them, and then hauled Soundwave Pig back to meet with the others. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4 SoundwavePig has the answer.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|right]]
As Piggy Island's transformation spiraled out of control, Soundwave Pig came up with a final solution to stop the metamorphosis; all they needed to do is separate the EggSpark from the land. As the pigs and the birds made mad dash for the EggSpark, Soundwave Pig helped fend off the increasingly aggressive Eggbots. But as the EggSpark came within reach, [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] went berserk and began attacking all those in his way, regardless of faction. Things were further complicated when Starscream Pig grabbed hold of the EggSpark for himself, intending to use its power for his own selfish goals. Soundwave Pig and Grimlock Bird stepped in to hold back Galvatron Pig while Bumblebee Bird launched both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Everything then returned to the way it was before the EggSpark had landed on Piggy Island. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, Chef Pig had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

Soundwave Pig joined his leader in his plot to poach all the EggBots to eat them! They were thwarted by Optimus Prime Bird and his troops. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Despite Megatron Pig believing that Soundwave Pig is his most loyal soldier, Soundwave Pig spends his spare time spying on his leader. He once attempted to smash Bumblebee Bird to pieces using a powerful audio weapon. Bumblebee Bird drove away before Soundwave Pig's weapon could have its intended effect however. {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}

====As Soundwave====
*''Squad'': '''Instruments of Destruction'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (100/150 pigs) TelePod

Soundwave Pig is not too quick on his feet, and his slow-flying sonic-wave blaster is a one-shot affair with a significant pause between shots. This makes him pretty lousy against flying foes (especially missiles, which he has to hit at close range to have any hope of taking them out), and absolutely miserable against tough foes like [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s, since the initial impact isn't even that strong... but oh, the splash effect on impact. The sonic boom when the sound bubble hits its target can be absolutely ''devastating'' at higher levels, obliterating entire block structures -even stone blocks- in a wide range instantly, especially once upgraded with the proper Accessories, leaving the damaged Bad Piggies hanging in midair until they pop on the now-empty ground below. This actually makes this a good weapon against large swarms of flying Pigs, as while the central target will only be partially hurt, the splash effect will pop most ''other'' pigs in range instantly.

This makes Soundwave an ideal choice for any block-busting-based Challenge Event to rack up big scores... but you'd best back him up with someone good at taking out foes, especially in the case of an unexpected [[Boss Pig]] or [[Unicron Pig]] encounter.

*''Unlock Type'': New Area (800 pigs) TelePod

At first, Soundblaster seems like a much better choice than Soundwave, since he launches three sound-bubbles (with enough upgrades this changes to five) in a wide horizontal swath at a slightly faster fire rate, and he does more damage to enemies with each blast. This certainly helps him take on small groups of flying foes a lot easier. However, these bubbles lack Soundwave's ridiculous splash damage effect, both in strength and range, being less effective against tougher blocks. But it still lets him cut a pretty wide swath of destruction, especially against towers not yet on-screen as the rightmost sonic waves go hurtling away from the central attack angle.

====As Energon Soundwave====
[[File:Energon-Soundwave-Pig.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''Energon Fueled'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Firepower'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (1250 pigs) TelePod

After numerous mishaps with [[energon cube]]s resulting in him getting knocked around as others got energon-boosted, Soundwave ''finally'' got an energon-infused form... in a fight with himself as Soundblaster. Just go with it.

Energon Soundwave puts a lot more focused power into his attacks than his other iterations. He fires two sonic-waves in rapid succession, which do pretty significant damage to the main target, but don't have the ''oomph'' when it comes to splash damage. His energon-laced form means he takes more damage from every attack, but like all "Energon" style bots, he can recharge in-level simply by absorbing energon cubes released by blasting cyberformed scenery.

====As Breakdown====
*''Squad'': '''Specialists'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize (10000 Tokens)

[[File:BreakdownPig.jpeg|right|thumb|350px|[[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Just take it! Take it take it take it take it take it! TAKE IT!!]]]]

Breakdown is the first Chef Pig character in years and continues the recent trend of overpowered characters like [[Bubbles|Bubbles-as-Mirage]] and [[Mighty Eagle|Mighty Eagle-as-Alpha Trion]]. Although there is the thing about him being paranoid. Which tends to hinder everything he does other than his weapon.

Speaking of which, Breakdown's weapon is a scattershot of rotating pink lasers that can ricochet. If you're playing as him, he calls in the [[Strikebot]] bomber every time he turns into vehicle form. Enough to make anyone have a breakdown... except Breakdown, who can casually stroll through a fiery hellstorm. Fun!

====As Major Soundwave====
[[File:WarpassSoundwave.jpeg|thumb|250px|Victory is ours!]]
*''Squad'': '''Officers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
Victory to the Deceptihogs! The Autobirds failed in their mission to acquire the Eggspark, thanks to [[Minion Pig#As Captain Starscream|Captain Starscream]], and are now fleeing from the Deceptihog threat. But as you know, [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron|Lord Megatron]] is not one to just let his enemies get away that easily. Thus he sends Major Soundwave and his comm hijacking abilities on a hunt for the scaredy-birds. Major Soundwave plans on tricking the Autobirds’ into going right where he wants them. But first he’ll have to face [[Blues#As Major Prowl|Major Prowl]]...

His weapon fires clips of three arcing sound-blasts, the first one being accompanied by a purple cloud-bullet that has the same effects as a sound-blast. An all-new sound-bullet, possibly?

{{-}}

====As Neon Soundwave====
[[File:ABneonsoundwave.jpeg|thumb|250px|"Alexa, play Skrillex"]]
*''Squad'': '''Cobalt Crew'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40) or Challenge Event Prize ('''''0''''' Tokens)
Once more, Soundwave is needed to do the only thing his now Neon-powered tyrant [[King Pig#As Lord Megatron Neon|Lord Megatron]] finds him useful to do: intercepting autobird transmissions. [[Blues#As Neon Prowl|Prowl]], now also imbued with the new Energon variant, has orchestrated a massive communications blackout in order to tend to their wounded uninterrupted. Deceptihogs love interrupting! And thus Soundwave embarks on a manhunt for his old enemy, but not before he himself has undergone the Neon treatment!

Neon Soundwave’s weapon shoots one sound-blast, which it can do thrice before it needs to reload. Pretty much the same as Major Soundwave, minus the weird extra bullet. Additionally embibing the power of Neon has granted Neon Soundwave the same effects as Energon characters: he can heal himself by collecting Energon cubes on the field, but also takes more damage.

When the tie-in Challenge Event for [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)#War Pass|War]] Season 21 rolled out, something happened that made the small but active Angry Birds Transformers fanbase shake to the core: due to a programming error, Neon Soundwave was available in the Token Exchange for the whopping amount of ''0 Tokens''. All a player needed was to have any amount of Tokens on them and a free Neon Soundwave was theirs to take. And if that wasn't enough, a day later it was also discovered that purchasing the [[Laserbeak (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers|Laserbeak]] accessory (for the usual amount of 2500 Tokens) from the Token Exchange unlocked the whole Prime Pass ''for free'', allowing players to also unlock Neon Prowl and every other Prime Pass reward without spending the inherent $19.99. For many new players, this marked the moment they got their first Prime Pass character. An occurence that will go down in ABTF history for many generations to remember.

====As Neon Soundblaster====

*''Mission Type'': '''Intelligence'''
*''Unlock Type'': Prime Pass reward (level 40)
The Autbirds have brought out Bumblebee, now with the power of neon to defeat the Deceptihogs, however Lord Megatron Neon decides to send out Neon Soundblaster to defeat him (even though they already had Neon Soundwave).

Now with Energon powers, he takes double damage but can heal with Energon cubes.

===''Angry Birds Transformers''===
*'''Soundwave Pig''' (Telepods Racer, 2015)
**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base

: As a Telepod figure, Soundwave Pig [[Autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from vehicle to robot by pushing back his noggin, and back just by pushing him down. He has a scan-code on the bottom of his feet, which allows him to be scanned into the ''[[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]]'' app when placed on top of a magnifying Telepods base, included with the set. Doing so repairs in-game Soundwave's health, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

: This toy was [[redeco]]ed into Soundblaster Pig and Energon Soundwave Pig (see below), and was [[retool]]ed into [[Bubbles#Toys|Jazz Bird]] and [[Terence (AB)#Toys|Ratchet Bird]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Soundblaster}}
*'''Ultra Magnus Bird vs. Soundblaster Pig''' (''Telepods'' Racers 2-pack, 2014)

: This black [[redeco]] of Soundwave was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Red (AB)#UltraMagnus|Ultra Magnus Bird]].

*'''Energon Racers Pack''' (''Telepods'' Racers multi-pack, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' ''Telepods'' base
{{toydesigner|[[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: This clear-blue version of Soundwave Pig was only available in the "Energon Racers Pack" multi-pack with "Energon" versions of [[Red (AB)#EnergonTelepod|Optimus Prime Bird]], [[Hal#EnergonTelepod|Grimlock Bird]], [[Moustache Pig#EnergonTelepod|Lockdown Pig]], and [[Minion Pig#Toys|Starscream Pig]].

==Notes==
*[[wikia:angrybirds:Chef Pig|Chef Pig]] is one of the 'antagonists' of the ''{{w|Angry Birds}}'' franchise. More so than King Pig.
*With him playing Breakdown, that means is one of the few Deceptihogs using Autobird models. Not to mention his body-style is the Jazz body-type. Puts everything in full circle with [[Bubbles|Blaster]] doesn't it?
