Moustache Pig

The Moustache Pig is a Deceptihog from Angry Birds Transformers.

Fear me!

The no-nonsense Moustache Pig (sometimes known as the Foreman Pig) believes he can build anything, but his work is shoddy and falls apart at the merest touch. But he was tough and buff even before he was upgraded into Lockdown Pig, Dead End Pig, and Barricade Pig, and now he's feared by Autobird and Deceptihog alike. Despite his newfound power, he retains his incompetence, and is still in denial that he can ever do anything wrong. Despite his limited intelligence, he displays some base cunning, making him a fierce adversary. He believes selfishness to be a virtue.

Everybody's extremely envious of his metal moustache.

Fiction

Angry Birds comic

I'll never walk again! You'll have to carry me to the toilet! AH! You'll see my knob!"

Foreman Pig was looking over some architectural plans when Chuck burst into his 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, Foreman Pig chewed out the Minion Pigs, since it was obviously their fault that his building hadn't held up. The Pigs then stumbled upon the EggSpark. The first "volunteer" to touch the artifact became "Starscream Pig" and flew off. The rest of the pigs then touched the artifact, and Moustache Pig became Lockdown Pig! Unfortunately, he had trouble getting all his pieces to get to the right places, and wound up as a toilet instead of a robot. The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. Megatron Pig ordered a retreat, and Lockdown Pig was carried away by a trio of Minion Pigs. Angry Birds Transformers #1

The Minions eventually got tired of lugging a toilet around, and Galvatron Pig was tasked with carrying Lockdown Pig instead. As the Deceptihogs began to argue between themselves, a Terror Tower sprung up from beneath them. Galvatron Pig began blasting away at the structure. This only led to the Deceptihogs tumbling inside of the tower when the floor beneath their feet gave way. Lockdown Pig was the one who deduced that the tower's appearance was a result of the EggSpark having an ongoing effect on Piggy Island itself. Before they could further ponder the implications of the land transforming beneath them, Grimlock Bird attacked the pigs.

Lockdown Pig finally managed to transform into his robot mode, and knocked out Grimlock Bird with a decisive "KONK" to the head. No sooner was Grimlock Bird taken out that the rest of the Autobirds burst in. Bumblebee Bird was the next to attack, though Lockdown Pig managed to knock him down as well with a well-placed punch. Lockdown Pig then moved on to attacking Optimus Prime Bird and Arcee Bird. The fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile. Age of Eggstinction!

The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to combat this newly arisen threat. Lockdown Pig displayed the ability to launch his forearm and beat his fair share of Eggbots. Nonetheless, the pigs and birds were fighting a losing battle, and they decided to change tactics. Lockdown Pig was assigned to a team tasked with rescuing Starscream Pig. Lockdown Pig did not work well with his Autobird teammates however, and didn't bother help when Bluestreak Bird got himself captured as well. Both rescues had to be put off anyhow, as the team then found itself surrounded by a squad of Eggbots. Both problems solved themselves when Drift Bird managed to cut open an exit in the Terror Tower holding the captive 'bots. A swarm of Eggbots poured out along with Bluestreak Bird. Both group of Eggbots scared one another and fled the scene. All of the Deceptihogs and Autobirds then reconvened to discuss their next move. Revenge of the Fowlin'!

The Deceptihog/Autobird alliance decided that their best bet was to separate the EggSpark from Piggy Island. Lockdown Pig and Grimlock Bird fought side-by-side, and formed the inkling of a camaraderie over their shared love of smashing things. As the EggSpark came within reach, Galvatron Pig went berserk, and began attack both birds and pigs. Lockdown Pig attempted to take him on by himself, but was knocked out with a single punch. The remaining combatants nonetheless managed to launch the EggSpark off-planet, and everything returned to normalcy. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, Moustache Pig had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums. Hard Boiled

Lock and load

As Lockdown, Moustache Pig's primary weapon is a rapid-fire blaster that unloads a stream of 15 weak but fast shots. Once the ammo stock is depleted it takes a few moments to reload; however, if you stop firing before it's depleted, it starts reloading anyway until it's back up to full or you fire again. While the blaster can shatter Glass blocks and explode TNT crates with ease, it takes longer to break Wood and Stone blocks. On the other hand, it's very good at pushing those harder blocks into each other, which lets him create tower-toppling domino effects with careful aim. With Explosive Rounds equipped, he's a monster at demolishing block towers.

In early builds of the game, he had an EMP Stunner secondary attack powered by Energon cubes. But like all characters in the game, their secondary powers were replaced by Energonicons (with the EMP attack going to Electroblast).

As Energon Lockdown

Level 7 Energon Lockdown

• Squad: Pure Warriors
• Mission Type: Firepower
• Unlock Type: New Area (1500 2200 pigs) TelePod

Energon Lockdown doesn't differ much at all from the normal version. His weapon is the same and packs little more punch, while his frame is little more fragile. And Explosive Rounds are a must-have, giving him incredible destructive power. Like all Energon variant characters, he can restore health in-level by acquiring energon cubes prized from de-cyberformed scenery.

As Dead End

What's the point of spending money, gems, or time to obtain me? We're doomed to collect new characters in this game every month.

• Squad: The Hot Rods
• Mission Type: Intelligence
• Unlock Type: In-app purchase, Challenge Event Prize

Dead End's weapon fires two shotgun bursts of blaster energy in a wide spread, and every bundle of boom packs quite a punch! One blast will always hit the aimed-at target, but the rest will go anywhere. Not that it matters. Not that anything matters.

Dead End was at first one of those pay-real-money-for-early-access characters. Yeah, those ones. In his case, $24.99 for him, a considerable amount of Gems, and a Buzzsaw accessory, on Black Friday. He was next available to unlock in the "End of the Road" challenge event for 7500 tokens - after the event ended! Oops.

As Barricade

Boss Hog.

• Squad: Enslavers
• Mission Type: Intelligence
• Unlock Type: In-app purchase, Challenge Event Prize (10000 7500 Tokens)

Barricade was just plain mean when he led the racing gangs back on Cybertron. When Moustache Pig joined with Barricade, he fully embraced being a police officer, since he gets to have donuts, bully people for petty reasons, and use his sirens to make a lot of noise.

Barricade fires a vertical triple-spread of taser bullets that deal minor explosive damage, but make up for it by with an EMP effect, briefly stunning all non-"boss" enemies and dropping flying pigs out of the air.

He was first available in the late June Event, "Bad Cop".

As Sergeant Barricade

• Squad: Operations
• Mission Type: Intelligence
• Unlock Type: Prime Pass reward (level 10)

Victory to the Deceptihogs, again. The Autobirds are not happy about this, and send in Private Sideswipe to get the job done. In response, Megatron sends in Sergeant Barricade to go up against this new foe. Sergeant Barricade knows that Sideswipe's aim for victory may cloud his judgement, allowing the facehaired(?) pig-bot to take control of the young Autobird...

This Barricade’s weapon is seemingly the same as that of the regular Barricade.

With Energon powers he now takes more damage but can also heal with Energon cubes.

Toys

Angry Birds Transformers

• Lockdown Pig (Telepods Racer, 2014)
  • Accessories: Telepods base

As a Telepod figure, Lockdown Pig automatically transforms from car 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 app when placed on top of a magnifying Telepods base, included with the set. Doing so repairs in-game Lockdown's damage, and powers him up for a short amount of time. Or, if the character is not yet unlocked through normal gameplay, unlocks him for 24 hours.

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

This clear-black version of Telepods Lockdown was only available in the "Energon Racers Pack", which included the "Energon" versions of Grimlock Bird, Lockdown Pig, Soundwave Pig and Starscream Pig, plus a single Telepods base to share among them.

• Lockdown Pig (Jenga game pack, 2014)
  • Accessories: Car vehicle, launcher, 3 Jenga blocks

Jenga Lockdown Pig is a soft-plastic pig head that attaches to a free-rolling car via 5mm post (so you can attach his noggin to tons of toys to give them +100% Moustache Power). He comes with a spring-loaded launcher that can propel him or any other Angry Birds Transformers Jenga vehicle at speed to knock down blocks, pigs, or whatever you feel like knocking over.

Notes

• Promotional materials for the game, including an introductory YouTube video, call Lockdown's base Piggie "Foreman Pig." However, the game properly calls him "Moustache Pig." The original Angry Birds media tends to swap between the two names as well.
• Moustache Pig's Lockdown body is most very definitely inspired by the Age of Extinction version of Lockdown. Several of his Accessories are taken from this too, including his Hook, shoulder-Clips, and his now-removed-from-the-game Head Cannon.
  • Exient seems to like linking ‘Stache to the movies, since Barricade is taken completely from the movie continuity. This makes Barricade the only character in the game fully based on a movie character.
• As of a May 2017 update, equipping Lockdown's Hook also gives him a purple hook in place of his left hand, possibly as a nod to his Animated incarnation.
• There was a glitch in the game where equipping the Energon Cube accessory would cause a Santa Hat to equip but has since been fixed.
