Angry Birds Transformers' trailer is ridiculous and features Astrotrain
It would be easy to believe that we've reached the point of cultural saturation for Angry Birds thanks to its seemingly limitless supply of spinoffs. How many possible more Angry Birds games can the market possibly support? The answer is "at least one more" if Angry Birds Transformers can live up to it's ridiculous launch trailer. Featuring side scrolling shooter action, Angry Birds Transformers pits you as both Autobots and Decepticons as you blow up waves of pigs and their towers. The game play shown brings to mind the SNES classic Wild Guns as enemies pop up from all sides, including the background. Long time Transformers fans will notice the cameo from Astrotrain, who despite being a Decepticon appears to be helping the Autobots in this game. If you understand anything I just wrote, watch this trailer immediately. Angry Birds Transformers hits New Zealand and Finland's App Stores today. The game will have its official mass launch next month.
Angry Birds Transformers goes back to the 80s in new trailer
Hoping to distance itself from the glossy, modern efforts of noted explosion connoisseur Michael Bay, Rovio has issued a trailer for Angry Birds Transformers that hearkens back to the series' glory days, an era when men were men, women were women and robots were anything Hasbro's toy designers could imagine.

Angry Birds Transformers is coming, and hopefully Michael Bay isn't involved
Angry Birds has never taken itself too seriously, which is probably why so many people absolutely adore the franchise. From the original physics puzzler to crossovers with Star Wars and Rio, and even a cart racing game, you can't really fault Rovio for giving players what they want -- which happens to be more Angry Birds. But today, the company revealed the next big evolution of the Angry Birds brand with Angry Birds Transformers. I think it needs to stop now. Literally nothing is known about the new Transformers crossover aside from what can be gleaned from the goofy artwork on the teaser site, but the fact that this title exists at all is proof that our addiction to Angry Birds has gone too far. From the iconic red bird gussied up in Optimus Prime gear to the speedy yellow bird zipping along as Bumblebee, the series has now jumped the shark. Actually, it jumped the shark a while ago, now it's just doing laps around the shark on a bedazzled jet ski. The teaser site simply states that the new game is "coming soon to app stores," though I'm sure it'll also be coming soon to toy shelves, t-shirt racks, and every other corner of your local department store. Brace yourselves.
Angry Birds Transformers announced, less than meets the eye
Angry Birds studio Rovio announced more Angry Birds this morning with Angry Birds Transformers. No Angry Birds information was provided about this latest installment in the Angry Birds franchise, but it is sure to Angry Birds and roll out more details soon.
