Angry Birds Transformers in IOS

Autobirds – ROLL OUT!

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Site Score

92/100

Angry Birds Transformers is a brilliant, high-octane reimagining of the Rovio formula. Gone are the slingshots, replaced by a 3D side-scrolling 'run and gun' mechanic that fits the Transformers theme perfectly. Blasting away at the scenery to topple towers of Piggy Island while your character 'transforms' into a vehicle to dodge falling debris is pure, unadulterated fun.

The game drips with 80s nostalgia, from the synth-heavy soundtrack to the VHS-style aesthetic in the menus. Collecting and upgrading the 'Autobirds' and 'Deceptihogs' is a blast, and each character feels unique with their own weapon types and abilities. While the upgrading wait times can be a bit of a hurdle, the core gameplay is so engaging that it’s easily the most exciting entry in the Angry Birds spin-off library.

Dinsun Review

I wasn't expecting much from this mashup, but the actual shooting mechanics are surprisingly competent. It’s basically a simplified version of Time Crisis on wheels. Tapping to shoot down structures while your bird-robot runs past is mindless fun, and the 80s-inspired synth soundtrack is a genuine highlight for a guy my age. It hits that nostalgia button perfectly.

But then, the Rovio-ness of it all kicks in. Every time you want to upgrade or heal your character, you're looking at hours of real-time waiting or reaching for your credit card. The map navigation is clunky and the difficulty spikes are clearly designed to force purchases. It’s a shame, because the core gameplay loop is actually better than the standard 'fling a bird at a box' formula. It’s a 7/10 game trapped in a 4/10 business model.

Angry Birds and Transformers collide in this action-packed, 3D shoot ‘em up adventure!

Can these bitter enemies team up and put aside their differences? Yeah right…

    Angry Birds and Transformers collide in this action-packed, 3D shoot 'em up adventure! The EggSpark has transformed the eggs into crazed robots who are destroying Piggy Island. To stop them, the Autobirds must join forces with their arch-rivals, the Deceptihogs. Abandon the slingshot and pick up lasers as you run, shoot, and transform to save the island. Unlock a massive roster of heroes and villains like Red as Optimus Prime and Chuck as Bumblebee, each with unique attacks. With weekly events, tag-team assaults, and a gleefully synth-heavy 80s soundtrack, this is Angry Birds like you've never seen it before.

    Q&A

    A network connection is required for some features like events and tag-teaming, but much of the core campaign can be played offline after an initial download.

    Currently, the game allows for one character upgrade at a time, though players can use gems to speed up the process.
