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, 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
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

As Lockdown
- Squad: Pure Warriors
- Mission Type: Intelligence
- Unlock Type: New Area (500 pigs)
As Lockdown, Moustache Pig's primary weapon is a rapid-fire blaster that unloads a stream of weak but fast shots. 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.
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).

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 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. Several of his Accessories are taken from this too, including his Hook, shoulder-Clips, and his ow-removed-from-the-game Head Cannon.
- 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. And for some reason all of the Moustache Pigs have a Santa Hat covered with their character model textures when equipped with an Energon Cube.
