Moustache Pig

This article is about the bad piggy. For other characters known as Lockdown, see Lockdown (disambiguation).

The Moustache Pig is a Deceptihog from the Angry Birds Transformers continuity.

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, 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.

Everybody's extremely envious of his metal moustache.

As Lockdown

Moustache-Lockdown was captured by the Eggbots shortly after the Flock and Bad Piggies were transformed by the Allspark Egg. Moustache was frozen in a block of ice until he was freed by his teammates. Angry Birds Transformers

As Lockdown, Moustache Pig's primary weapon is a rapid-fire blaster that unloads a stream of weak but fast shots. The weapon does not recharge when idle, so once the ammo stock is depleted it takes a few moments to reload. 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.

His secondary attack, earned with sufficient upgrades, is an EMP Stunner, which swiftly knocks flying Piggies and missiles out of the air. However, this move needs to be powered by energon cubes obtained by de-cyberforming parts of the terrain. Luckily, that's another thing his rapid-blaster is good at. Upgrading increases the number of cubes he can store to power the pulse: the more cubes he has, the more powerful the blast, affecting grounded enemies as well.

Lockdown takes 800 Piggie points to release, plus you need to complete his intro level to add him permanently to your roster. Scanning his toys via Telepod only gives you about 6 hours of time to use him, but you can scan over and over again.

As Energon Lockdown

Moustache also gained an "Energon" power-up body with a more powerful blaster and many more glowy bits. However, those glowy bits are fragile, and he takes more damage in this form than normal.

Notes

• Promotional materials for the game, including an introductory YouTube video, call Lockdown's base Piggie "Foreman Pig". However, the game proper 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.
