Angry Birds is arguably one of the biggest properties, ever, let alone a gaming phenomenon. So what happens when you put together with another thriving entity such as Transformers?

A mash up video game experience certain to be unlike any other!

The app is not active just yet, but will be sometime later this year. This new Union of the two properties was first reported on at Toy Fair, and now it's finally happening.

Interesting that they're both full-bodied and NOT the same obvious/slavish homages we already have a dozen of.

Already placing bets that V2 of the game will be titled "Battle for the Egg-Spark".
We better get figures for this game. I need something to blow my disposable income on since I'm not impressed with the movie figures and I'm getting sick of the all too numerous Generations re-paints. At least THIS has some originality.

I am hoping the first Gen Kindle will support this. I actually though the humor in Star Wars Angry Birds was great and am looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

Well, I knew it was only a matter of time. At least the characters have bodies and are not just birds in helmets. Still, not buying. Bad idea. :BOOM:

Don't forget G1.

For instance, that Galvatron has the AOE body with the G1 head horns. ;)

Looks like it could be fun. Too bad I don't have a tablet.

Still, the designs amuse me. If they make any actual transforming toy versions of these, I might pick them up.
