Selling out is the right of all sentient franchises.

The leader of the Flock, Red has his... well, if he had hands, he'd have them full trying to keep the Flock's various eccentric personalities properly focused on protecting their eggs from King Pig and his flunkies. Not that Red is all that terribly stable himself, what with his limited temper.

Upon contact with the Eggspark, Red was granted the powers of the powerful Autobots Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus... and the former's penchant for long-winded speeches. With his new robot body and the rest of the "Autobirds" backing him up, he's ready to protect Piggie Island from the greedy Deceptihogs and the mysterious plans of the Eggbots!

Games

Angry Birds Transformers

Soon after Piggy island was Cyberformed, all the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were captured and frozen leaving only Red as Optimus Prime and Chuck as Bumblebee to save the day.

As Optimus Prime

Red's blasts do low damage and have a moderate rate of fire, which are useless against solid rocks. But, after a few upgrades, his shots get stronger and he also gains the Energon Shield power-up, which can protect him from enemy shots including missiles but they cannot protect him from falling monoliths. He also has two other version, The Energon version and the Ultimate Version which can be unlocked later in the game. This is done the same way rescuing characters is done. Angry Birds Transformers

As Ultimate Optimus Prime

At Level 7, all versions of Red undergo slight physical modifications. His chest windows go from two large windshields to two smaller ones flanked by even smaller side windows, his pelvis gains small colored decorations, and his legs gain metal sidings. Additionally, Red gains a small Powermaster partner attached to his grill in engine mode.
