- Stella is an Autobird from the Angry Birds Transformers continuity.
Perceptive, focused, and scientifically-inclined Stella appears to be the "brains" of the Flock. She nonetheless displays an aversion towards the abnormal, and anything that tests her comfort zone must be scrutinized before it can be trusted. After being transformerd into Arcee Bird by the EggSpark, she displays an independent streak coupled with a slight disdain for the other jokers members of the Autobirds. Thankfully, her patience is also amplified in this new form, allowing her to work alongside the others with little friction.
She also has a doppelganger named Airachnid Bird.
Fiction
Angry Birds comic
After the Bad Piggies had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Stella accompanied her fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. Chuck managed to foul up Red's attack plan, causing the Bad Piggies' building to collapse on top of the Flock while King Pig and his minions escaped. Stella managed to avoid getting herself buried in the rubble, and urged Red to go after the pigs immediately. However, Red wanted to make sure that the others were unharmed fist. Bomb, Terence, Bubbles and Chuck emerged relatively unscathed, at which point Stella took notice that the Blues had flown off after the Bad Piggies on their own. The Flock went to look for them, and as they flew about, Stella noticed the three little birds coming back towards them. The trio began babbling about an "EggSpark" and "Deceptihogs". As soon as the Blues mentioned that the eggs were in danger, the Flock hurried over to confront the pigs once more. Angry Birds Transformers #1
By the time Stella reached the EggSpark, the artifact had transformed Hal and Chuck into "Grimlock Bird" and "Bumblebee Bird" respectively. Stella was curious about her friends' new appendages, (calling them "barns and pegs" before being corrected by Terence and Bomb) and admitted that she found the whole not to be to her liking. Despite her initial misgivings, she agreed to touch the EggSpark in order to grant herself a robotic body. After her upgrade, Arcee Bird was inexplicably seized by the sudden urge to exposit about her new persona and abilities. She stated that her "endless patience" was the only thing keeping her from ditching the rest of the "losers" on her team. On Optimus Prime Bird's command, she and the rest of the Autobirds transformed and rolled out into action. They eventually caught up with the Deceptihogs. Upon their arrival, she argued with Bumblebee Bird, imploring him to stick to their plan of attack, but the impetuous Autobird refused to listen. The battle was soon fully underway, with Arcee Bird helping Optimus Prime Bird take on Lockdown Pig. The clash was interrupted when the Flock's eggs, having been previously exposed to the EggSpark, sprouted robotic limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. Age of Eggstinction!
In spite of this new development, Grimlock Bird insisted on continuing their fight against the Deceptihogs. Arcee Bird told him to pipe down, as the situation had become significantly more perilous for both factions. The Autobirds and the Deceptihogs joined forces to combat this newly arisen threat. During the scuffle against the Eggbots, Arcee Bird noted that they had not only become a threat to themselves, but to Piggy Island. She managed to dissuade Optimus Prime Bird from fighting with Megatron Pig, and pointed out that their current approach was proving itself to be ineffective against the Eggbots.
Arcee Bird was then assigned to a team alongside Bluestreak Bird, Lockdown Pig, and Drift Bird. Their mission: rescue Starscream Pig from the Eggbots. Bluestreak Bird was opposed to saving a "bad guy," but Arcee Bird insisted that any creature in danger deserved their attention. Frustrated, Bluestreak rushed off despite Arcee Bird advising against it. This eneded in Bluestreak Bird getting himself captured as well. Arcee bird deployed a large blaster from her forearm and began blasting away at the structure holding both Bluestreak Bird and Starscream Pig. Her attention was turned away from her objective when she found herself surrounded by gargantuan Eggbots. Nonetheless, her blasting had weakened the structure's walls, allowing her team to hear Bluestreak Bird banging against them from within. Drift Bird cut an opening in the structure, allowing Bluestreak Bird and a battalion of Eggbots to swarm out. The two group of eggs scared one another off, and the lot of them fled the scene. Arcee Bird could only stare dumbfounded as she muttered to herself: "eggs, eggs, so many eggs."
With Bluestreak Bird now rescued, Arcee Bird's group reconvened with the others. They had little time to regain their bearings however, as Starscream Pig pointed out that the island's transformation was accelerating. Revenge of the Fowlin'!
Megatron Pig was ready to call off the whole situation as hopeless, but Arcee Bird argued that they needed only to think things through. The Autobirds and Deceptihogs eventually managed to formulate a plan, having figured out that they needed to separate the EggSpark from the land to cease its transformation. Guns ablaze, they made their way to the EggSpark's location. As they neared their goal, Galvatron Pig went berserk and turned against the rest of the group. Arcee Bird was taken out by one of the Deceptihog's cannon blasts, leaving her unable to help in launching the EggSpark off-planet. Despite her absence, the EggSpark was successfully catapulted away, and everything returned to normalcy. As the Flock discussed the day's events, Stella bounced about cheerily, saying they all had earned a little peace and quiet... unaware that nearby, a robot cactus had begun to run wild. Hard Boiled

Arcee worked out lifting some weights at a gym. It sure was easy for her... but not for King Pig. Especially when his spotter, Galvatron Pig got distracted by the lollipop that Arcee Bird left behind on a nearby control panel. Elsewhere, Airachnid Bird was doing some yoga stretches... until she got her foot stuck behind her neck. After Airachnid Bird, Arcee Bird, Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig finished their workouts, the four of them jumped up in the air in a cheer. Freezeframe. Arcee and Airachnid join the team!
