	Missile silos can be found in every area of Piggy Island, but will not ''always'' show up in a level. The silos themselves are completely indestructible and unstoppable, but thankfully their payloads are not. The number of missiles fired in succession depends on the difficulty of the area. Every missile unerringly homes in on the player via a wide and sometimes corkscrewing flight path, and ''will not miss'', forcing the player to either shoot them down, or hope something gets in the way. Sometimes they even like to go off screen and home in on you right there so ~~your~~ left totally vulnerable because your character can’t shoot off screen.

	*'''Gold missiles and red-warhead missiles''' are types of "scrambler" missiles that, upon contact with an Autobird or Deceptihog, force them to transform into... ''a washing machine!'' While the effect only lasts a few seconds, in this mode the force-'formed character can't do anything but bounce forward at a slightly-slower rate of speed. This is of course really bad for you if there's some wobbly [[Monolith]]s just ahead. Thankfully, any [[Energonicon]]s or called-in partners active when the missile hits remain active during the washingmachinification. The only difference between these two types of missiles is that shooting down a gold missiles yields 300 Coins instead of 30, making gold missiles profitable targets.		*'''Gold missiles and red-warhead missiles''' are types of "scrambler" missiles that, upon contact with an Autobird or Deceptihog, force them to transform into...

	*'''Rainbow missiles''' are a different type of scrambler, which forces the robot parts of the target to contort themselves into some very uncomfortable and awkward and ridiculous configurations. Like with the other scramblers, the poor target is unable to do anything until the effect wears off. (Energonicons and partners are, as before, unaffected.) However, these have an upside: shooting them out of the air causes an [[electromagnetic pulse]] of the sort caused by [[Electroblast]], causing all other missiles and flying pigs on-screen to fall out of the sky, and grounded Minions and [[Walking Mortar Tower]]s to temporarily shut down. ''Only'' shooting the missile down will produce the EMP; the missile slamming into scenery or blocks just destroys it. Another slight upside is that...players hit by these missiles will recover faster than they do after being hit by the washing machine specialist missiles.		*'''Rainbow missiles''' are a different type of scrambler, which forces the robot parts of the target to contort themselves into some very uncomfortable and awkward and ridiculous configurations.

Unlike all the other previous missiles which follow a particular spiraling fashion before slamming into the player, these missiles follow their own path and always launch just at the close moments of their silos going offscreen. These massive missiles move much slower than the others with trails of black smoke, and are often obscured by the towers and buildings between them and their target.

	*When the player is scrambled by a missile, any other missiles in-flight will change course and fly away into the sky... if they're far enough away. Close enough though, and they'll stay on course, slamming into you and keeping you locked into a ridiculous form just just a little longer.		*When the player is scrambled by a missile, any other missiles in-flight will change course and fly away into the sky... if they're far enough away.

	*While missiles cannot be dodged, they ''can'' be outrun, but only by the fastest characters in vehicle mode. The missiles actually have a limit to their range, and if they exceed it, they will simply vanish. Of course, you won't be toppling towers that whole time and likely be taking damage from the Piggies atop them.		*While missiles cannot be dodged, they ''can'' be outrun, but only by the fastest characters in vehicle mode.

	*Entering [[Astrotrain (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers\|Astrotrain]] while scrambled a certain number of times is one of the game's many Achievements. It was a possible Daily Quest for a time, but has seemingly been removed.		*Entering [[Astrotrain (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers\|Astrotrain]] while scrambled a certain number of times is one of the game's many Achievements. It was a possible Daily Quest for a time, but has seemingly been removed because let’s admit it, who would want to do that.
	*Missiles are considered enemies, and will count 1 point towards Challenge Event scores, even if they are destroyed by slamming into you or a rock or anything else... unless they're the main target for that day, in which case the point value goes up considerably. However, you don't get the coins you'd get for shooting the missile down.		*Missiles are considered enemies, and will count 1 point towards Challenge Event scores, even if they are destroyed by slamming into you or a rock or anything else... unless they're the main target for that day, in which case the point value goes up considerably.

	*Rainbow missiles aren't the only way that a Transformer can be body-scrambled; if they rapidly transform back and forth, the character will get scrambled. The only time you'll really want to this is to complete a Game Center of Google Play Quest that occasionally pops up.		*Rainbow missiles aren't the only way that a Transformer can be body-scrambled; if they rapidly transform back and forth, the character will get scrambled.
