Rovio Prepares To Roll Out Angry Birds Transformers
Rovio and Hasbro are teaming up for a new Angry Birds mashup. After the success of the Star Wars titles, Rovio has hooked a new license. Soon, Angry Birds will be more than meets the eye.
Angry Birds Transformers is coming soon to mobile devices, and the title will make use of the Telepod function found in Angry Birds Go and Angry Birds Star Wars II. By placing a figure on the base, you’ll have access to that bird in the game.
Rovio says that the game will appeal to fans of the original 1980s cartoon (with some of those iconic characters depicted above) and newcomers to the franchise. More details on how Transformers will change up the Angry Birds format are coming soon.
Our Take
As much as I love Transformers (and I really love Transformers), I’m skeptical. I think I’m all Angry Birds’d out, and even G1 Transformers will have a hard time wooing me back.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
