Matilda
| The name or term "Nautica" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Nautica (disambiguation). |
- Matilda is a not-as-angry-as-some-others bird from the Angry Birds Transformers continuity.
Matilda is the hippy, good-vibes, let's-all-just-calm-down-a-bit mother figure of the Flock. Naturally, she has her lack-of-hands full on that score. She tries to keep the rest of the birds calm and friendly, even cooking meals for everyone... though she's not very good at that, but at least everyone else appreciates her enough to try and hide their attempts to throw whatever she's made away. Her upbeat attitude blends well with the chipper Autobot Nautica, leading to a pretty successful fusion of chicken and Camien!
Fiction
Angry Birds comic
When Red commented that Chuck, now Bumblebee Bird, was acting reasonable wasn't normal, Stella responded that they had left "normal" back home with Matilda. Age of Eggstinction!

As Nautica
- Squad: Femme Fatale
- Mission Type: Investigator
- Unlock Type: New Area (Cave, 750 Bat Pigs)
As the first new map-unlock character in three years, Nautica requires some extra work to unlock (as long-term players would have a huge level and tons of Pig points, the nominal method of map unlocks). First the player must collect 10000 units of Plasma, which is found in Daily Rewards, Daily Quests, Token Exchange, and Crates, to open up the new cave island area where Nautica is being held. Then you have to collect 750 Bat Pigs, which are found in Daily Rewards, Cave levels, and Daily Quests, to open up her intro level.
Her weapon launches a quick succession of three water-bombs in a high arc which explode with considerable splash damage, then drop two more smaller bombs that fall in opposite directions. Properly powered up, she can obliterate block towers with ease, especially if you strike the tops of the towers to maximize the following downward spread. These initial bombs also have incredible push, sending anything they hit but don't destroy flying into the distance and damaging them over time.
Unfortunately, she's not very effective against more foes like Sharktihogs or Walking Mortar Towers, and just crap at tackling Boss Pig and Unicron Pig. Speed-wise, she runs at a medium-fast clip, and is pretty speedy in hoversub mode.

As Energon Nautica
- Squad: Energized
- Mission Type: Investigator
- Unlock Type: Challenge Event Prize (10000 Tokens)
Energon Nautica's attacks are stunningly similar to her non-Energized self, with roughly the same advantages and disadvantages, only with some extra power thanks to her Energon infusion. Like all Energon variants, she takes extra damage from enemy attacks, but can heal by absorbing energon cubes from de-cyberformed scenery, at roughly half a heart per cube.
Energon Nautica was first available in the "Naughty Nautica" Challenge Event in November, a typical six-day event (which happened to be right after the three-year anniversary event).

Notes
- Matilda is the last member of the original Flock to be added to the game.
- She uses Windblade's body (and all associated animations), with Nautica's flying-sub fan-wings, and of course a new head. However, she also uses all of Silver's voice samples, and the said new head lacks any form of facial animation whatsoever... which looks really weird next to tremendously expressive characters like Moustache Pig.
- When she was first added to the game, regular Nautica was the only member of the brand-new "Femme Fatale" Squad; there wasn't even a "Coming Soon" silhouette for another upcoming character.
