When Rovio and Hasbro announced I imagined sling-shotting helmet-wearing birds at stationary targets, just like Angry Birds Star Wars. The game I’m streaming this morning is not that. It’s more of an action game.
The goal is still to knock down evil pigs perched on precarious platforms, but there is no standing still. Each Transformer-ized bird or pig runs through their levels, firing off unique weapons as they go.
A free-to-play game, Angry Birds Transformers does feature health refill timers, level reset timers and character upgrade timers, so let’s see how fast we hit a wall. This may be a very short stream.
Update: The stream is done. We ran an hour before being laid low by timers, but we learned a little something about friendship.

Did anyone expect something more than a crappy crossover blocked by as many paywalls as they could think of?
Because that’s what I expected.
Yep, everyone expected that. He was talking about the game mechanics which won’t have as big an impact on whether people will play as bad paywalls will.
The only thing I expected was that Rovio would keep milking the franchises for everything they can;.
You got it, Bud. And they will for another couple years I’ll bet.
