Angry Birds Transformers

As Nightbird

• Squad:Specialists
• Mission Type:Investigator
• Unlock Type:Special Event

Zeta/Nightbird plays somewhat similarly toMatilda/Nautica;she launches a series of large Ice Blocks in an arc at her targets, which explode withincrediblesmashing power, obliterating block towers with ease. However, despite their effects on the local (shoddy) construction, they don't do a whole lot toWalking Mortar Towerswithout augmentation.

As Slipstream

• Squad:Noughties
• Mission Type:Investigator
• Unlock Type:Special Event (10000 Tokens)

Slipstream’s weapon is similar to Nightbird's, launching ice blocks, but has quite a different deployment. It starts launching them at a random angle, but once properly upgraded, it launchesfourblocks at once at different angles, all converging on the target with hefty explosive force. Once the smashing happens, ice blocks then rocket sideways from the impact zone. This weapon also has an infinite clip and pretty quick rapid-fire, making up for the individual blocks' (relatively) lower destructive power.

As Sergeant Nightbird

• Squad:Misfits Squad
• Mission Type:???
• Unlock Type:Prime Pass reward (level 40)

The Autobirds are suffering defeat after defeat at the hands of the Deceptihogs, and they're about to get even more turmoil coming their way asyetanotherAutobird betrays their trust. Sergeant Nightbird embraces her roots and turns back to the pork side (epic niche Angry Birds reference) once more. Her ninja skills will lead the Deceptihogs even closer to the ultimate victory, but only if she manages to defeat the muscle of the Autobirds:Security Officer Ironhide.

Notes

• Zeta's Nightbird body is based on theTakaraTomyTransformers Legends"Nightbird Shadow"toy, transforming into a hovercar version of the vehicle mode. Despite being a new body model, she uses the same upper beak model asthe Grimlocks,and usesSilver's animation rigging (itself modified from theMinion Piganimations).
  • On top of that, she uses the same voice clips asStella,instead of a more accurate voice for her. Then again, they usedChef Pig's voice clips inAngry Birds 2(the game) to sound like her. Yeah, we're just going to ignore that.
• The explosive ice blocks are a reference toThe Angry Birds Movie 2,where Zeta launches giant balls of ice filled with lava to bothPiggy Islandand Bird Island in order to destroy them.
• For some reason, the game has two different body-types for Zeta as Nightbird, as one of themlooks like the cartoon model,while the other one (pictured) is using the same torso as theMinion Pig Seekers.Rovio has confirmed that this is a glitch that occurs after upgrading Nightbird to level 15, and that a fix is incoming.
• She is the second Deceptihog to be a bird, and unlike Hal, this one makes sense, because she was a villain.
