Terence (AB)

This article is about the very big angry bird. For other characters known as Heatwave, see Heatwave (disambiguation). For other characters known as Sentinel Prime, see Sentinel Prime (disambiguation).

Terence is an Autobird from the Angry Birds Transformers continuity.

Mmmmmmm.

Terence is a very big bird! He's the kind of fellow that doesn't need to say much for his friends to get his meaning... which is good, because he is known for keeping his beak shut. Stoic, loyal, and unflinching in the face of danger, Terence brings some much-needed muscle to the Flock in their ongoing feud against the Bad Piggies. When the EggSpark grants him a robotic body, Terence comes to be known as either Heatwave Bird or Sentinel Prime Bird.

Fiction

Angry Birds storybooks

Heatwave Bird would always arrive first on the scene when another Autobird's engine overheated, ready to use his fire truck mode to rescue them! Robot Birds in Disguise

Heatwave the Fire-Bot Bird was attacked by Starscream Pig. The Autobird heard the Deceptihog swooping down at the last astro-second, and used his ladder to knock his opponent out of the sky! He later participated in a great big clash against the Deceptihogs in the middle of a desert. The Autobirds came out victorious thanks their superior battle tactics and strength!

Making an appearance as one of the malproportioned big guys on the Autobird team, Terence remains stoic despite his a very big head, stomping through missions. Slow and methodical, his weapons and armor reflect this, dealing and taking lots of damage early on.

As Heatwave

Terence has some sort of mortar cannon. Terence fires off a blast and a few painfully long seconds later a bar of light descends and reduces the standing population of whatever it hits to zero. It can punch through glass and wood with ease and usually restores cyberformed terrain or golden blocks in a single hit. The only problem is the long wait time before it connects, but as Red found, despite frenziedly telling Terence to attack, once it hits, it really HITS. Upgrades manifest themselves as gold coloration on certain parts of his armor, resembling Rescue Bots Heatwave and his energon activated ability is a short range electro-magnetic pulse. Once it is upgraded to Tier 3, it can seriously fry any Minion Pigs onscreen, stopping them from attacking or damaging and stunning any walking Mortar Towers. It's also really handy for taking down those annoying missiles which turn you into a washing machine, which is good, because that mortar beam isn't going to.

As Sentinel Prime

As Sentinel Prime, Terence looks exactly like Heatwave, so much so Chuck decided "screw it" and gave Sentinel black highlights, much to his chagrin. His weapon functions almost identically to Heatwave's, although somehow it splits into three beams when it rains down on the enemy. Each beam deals slightly less damage compared to Heatwave's, but they also change relative position based on what you target. For example, if there are three structures, and the two outer ones are closer and farther to you than the middle one, the beams will all generally land on the structures. This is a tad unreliable though, as the beams aren't sentient, so presumably Sentinel Prime has bad aim. But it's not a problem considering the sheer destructive power of all three beams. And instead of an EMP, he gets an energon shield, sponsored by StateFarm on the mobile version. It's less handy for dealing with missiles, but more handy overall.
