Chef Pig was about to cook up some eggs whenChuckburst intoMoustache Pig's latest building, and theBad Piggieswere forced to flee. Chef Pig was sure to bring the eggs along, though. As they ran, King Pig began to think out loud on how he would like to eat the eggs. To cover up for a rude remark he had made in response, Chef Pig pointed at a plume of smoke rising up in the distance. Venturing towards the smoke, the Pigs stumbled upon the EggSpark. Thinking that the artifact might be used as an "egg-cooker," King Pig ordered Chef Pig to figure out how to use it. The cook passed the task on to one of the Minion Pigs hauling King Pig's throne, and shoved him into the EggSpark. Upon making contact, the Minion became "Starscream Pig." The rest of the pigs touched the artifact, and Chef Pig became Soundwave Pig! The pigs were soon joined by a couple of birds who were similarly upgraded upon touching the EggSpark. In the struggle that followed, Soundwave Pig accidentally allowed the eggs to come into contact with the EggSpark. He quickly recollected them and the Deceptihogs fled.Angry Birds Transformers #1
As the Deceptihogs began to argue between themselves, aTerror Towersprung up from beneath them. Thanks to Galvatron Pig's reckless actions, they then became trapped within the structure. As the Deceptihogs were puzzling out the fact that the tower's appearance was a result of the EggSpark's ongoing influence onPiggy Island,Grimlock Bird attacked them once more. Soundwave Pig was knocked down and lost his grasp on the eggs yet again. After Grimlock Bird's defeat, Soundwave Pig was about to inform Megatron Pig that the eggs had been exposed to the EggSpark's transformative energies, when the rest of the Autobirds turned up. In the scuffle that followed, Soundwave Pig teamed up with Megatron Pig to take onJazz Bird.The fight came to an abrupt end when the Flock's eggs suddenly sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be hostile.Age of Eggstinction!
The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces to fight this newly arisen threat, though Soundwave Pig did little more than twirl his moustache while the others gave their all in combat. Soundwave Pig and Megatron Pig also tried to scheme together to seize power (and an egg dinner) in the battle's aftermath, but they were overheard byOptimus Prime Bird.Megatron Pig and Optimus Prime Bird nearly broke their alliance, and had to be talked down by Soundwave Pig andArcee Bird.The Autobirds and Deceptihogs agreed that they needed to change tactics if they hoped to stop Piggy Island from destroying itself. Soundwave Pig was assigned to a group tasked with capturing an Eggbot for study. His scheming nature won out once more however, as he allowed his teammates to be surrounded by giant Eggbots while he stood back and twirled his moustache again.Heatwave Birdmade short work of them, and then hauled Soundwave Pig back to meet with the others.Revenge of the Fowlin'!
As Piggy Island's transformation spiraled out of control, Soundwave Pig came up with a final solution to stop the metamorphosis; all they needed to do is separate the EggSpark from the land. As the pigs and the birds made mad dash for the EggSpark, Soundwave Pig helped fend off the increasingly aggressive Eggbots. But as the EggSpark came within reach,Galvatron Pigwent berserk and began attacking all those in his way, regardless of faction. Things were further complicated when Starscream Pig grabbed hold of the EggSpark for himself, intending to use its power for his own selfish goals. Soundwave Pig and Grimlock Bird stepped in to hold back Galvatron Pig while Bumblebee Bird launched both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Everything then returned to the way it was before the EggSpark had landed on Piggy Island. As the Bad Piggies went their own way, Chef Pig had to put up with another of King Pig's temper tantrums.Hard Boiled

Soundwave Pig is not too quick on his feet, and his slow-flying sonic-wave blaster is a one-shot affair with a significant pause between shots. This makes him pretty lousy against flying foes (especially missiles, which he has to hit at close range to have any hope of taking them out), and absolutely miserable against tough foes likeWalking Mortar Towers,since the initial impact isn't even that strong... but oh, the splash effect on impact. The sonic boom when the sound bubble hits its target can be absolutelydevastatingat higher levels, obliterating entire block structures -even stone blocks- in a wide range instantly, especially once upgraded with the proper Accessories, leaving the damaged Bad Piggies hanging in midair until they pop on the now-empty ground below. This actually makes this a good weapon against large swarms of flying Pigs, as while the central target will only be partially hurt, the splash effect will pop mostotherpigs in range instantly.
This makes Soundwave an ideal choice for any block-busting-based Challenge Event to rack up big scores... but you'd best back him up with someone good at taking out foes, especially in the case of an unexpectedBoss PigorUnicron Pigencounter.

As Soundblaster

- Unlock Type:New Area (800 pigs) TelePod
At first, Soundblaster seems like a much better choice than Soundwave, since he launches three sound-bubbles (with enough upgrades this changes to five) in a wide horizontal swath at a slightly faster fire rate, and he does more damage to enemies with each blast. This certainly helps him take on small groups of flying foes a lot easier. However, these bubbles lack Soundwave's ridiculous splash damage effect, both in strength and range, being less effective against tougher blocks. But it still lets him cut a pretty wide swath of destruction, especially against towers not yet on-screen as the rightmost sonic waves go hurtling away from the central attack angle.

After numerous mishaps withenergon cubesresulting in him getting knocked around as others got energon-boosted, Soundwavefinallygot an energon-infused form... in a fight with himself as Soundblaster. Just go with it.
Energon Soundwave puts a lot more focused power into his attacks than his other iterations. He fires two sonic-waves in rapid succession, which do pretty significant damage to the main target, but don't have theoomphwhen it comes to splash damage. His energon-laced form means he takes more damage from every attack, but like all "Energon" style bots, he can recharge in-level simply by absorbing energon cubes released by blasting cyberformed scenery.

As Breakdown
- Squad:Specialists
- Mission Type:Intelligence
- Unlock Type:Challenge Event prize (10000 Tokens)
Breakdown is the first Chef Pig character in years and continues the recent trend of overpowered characters likeBubbles-as-MirageandMighty Eagle-as-Alpha Trion.Although there is the thing about him being paranoid. Which tends to hinder everything he does other than his weapon.
Speaking of which, Breakdown's weapon is a scattershot of rotating pink lasers that can ricochet. And he calls in theStrikebotbomber every time he turns into vehicle form. Enough to make anyone have a breakdown... except Breakdown, who can casually stroll through a fiery hellstorm. Fun!

As Major Soundwave
- Squad:Officers
- Mission Type:???
- Unlock Type:Prime Pass reward (level 40)
Victory to the Deceptihogs! The Autobirds failed in their mission to acquire the Eggspark, thanks toCaptain Starscream,and are now fleeing from the Deceptihog threat. But as you know,Lord Megatronis not one to just let his enemies get away that easily. Thus he sends Major Soundwave and his comm hijacking abilities on a hunt for the scaredy-birds. Major Soundwave plans on tricking the Autobirds’ into going right where he wants them. But first he’ll have to faceMajor Prowl...
His weapon fires clips of three arcing sound-blasts, the first one being accompanied by a purple cloud-bullet that has the same effects as a sound-blast. An all-new sound-bullet, possibly?
As Neon Soundwave
- Squad:Cobalt Crew
- Mission Type:Intelligence
- Unlock Type:Prime Pass reward (level 40) or Challenge Event Prize (0Tokens)
Once more, Soundwave is needed to do the only thing his now Neon-powered tyrantLord Megatronfinds him useful to do: intercepting autobird transmissions.Prowl,now also imbued with the new Energon variant, has orchestrated a massive communications blackout in order to tend to their wounded uninterrupted. Deceptihogs love interrupting! And thus Soundwave embarks on a manhunt for his old enemy, but not before he himself has undergone the Neon treatment!
Neon Soundwave’s weapon shoots one sound-blast, which it can do thrice before it needs to reload. Pretty much the same as Major Soundwave, minus the weird extra bullet. Additionally embibing the power of Neon has granted Neon Soundwave the same effects as Energon characters: he can heal himself by collecting Energon cubes on the field, but also takes more damage.
When the tie-in Challenge Event forWarSeason 21 rolled out, something happened that made the small but active Angry Birds Transformers fanbase shake to the core: due to a programming error, Neon Soundwave was available in the Token Exchange for the whopping amount of0 Tokens.All a player needed was to have any amount of Tokens on them and a free Neon Soundwave was theirs to take. And if that wasn't enough, a day later it was also discovered that purchasing theLaserbeakaccessory (for the usual amount of 2500 Tokens) from the Token Exchange unlocked the whole Prime Passfor free,allowing players to also unlock Neon Prowl and every other Prime Pass reward without spending the inherent $19.99. For many new players, this marked the moment they got their first Prime Pass character. An occurence that will go down in ABTF history for many generations to remember.

- As a Telepod figure, Soundwave Pigautomatically transformsfrom vehicle to robot by pushing back his noggin, and back just by pushing him down. He has a scan-code on the bottom of his feet, which allows him to be scanned into theAngry Birds Transformersapp when placed on top of a magnifying Telepods base, included with the set. Doing so repairs in-game Soundwave's health, and powers him up for a short amount of time.

Notes
- Chef Pigis one of the 'antagonists' of theAngry Birdsfranchise. More so than King Pig.
- With him playing Breakdown, that means is one of the few Deceptihogs using Autobird models. Not to mention his body-style is the Jazz body-type. Puts everything in full circle withBlasterdoesn't it?
