Red (AB)

The name or term "Red" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Red (disambiguation).

Red is an Autobird from the Angry Birds Transformers continuity family.

The leader of the Flock, Red has his... well, if he had hands, he'd have them full trying to keep the Flock's various eccentric personalities properly focused on protecting their eggs from King Pig and his flunkies. Not that Red is all that terribly stable himself, what with his limited temper.

Upon contact with the Eggspark, Red was granted the powers of the powerful Autobots Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus... and the former's penchant for long-winded speeches. With his new robot body and the rest of the "Autobirds" backing him up, he's ready to protect Piggy Island from the greedy Deceptihogs and the mysterious plans of the Eggbots!

Once upgraded, Red is most commonly referred to as Optimus Prime Bird. He also goes by Ultra Magnus Bird, Nemesis Prime Bird, and Blurr Bird depending on which form he has assumed. Combining with his other fellow Autobirds he takes on the role of Optimus Maximus Bird.

Fiction

Angry Birds comic

After the Bad Piggies had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Red led his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. Chuck managed to foul up Red's attack plan, causing the Bad Piggies' building to collapse on top of the Flock while King Pig and his minions escaped. Despite Stella's insistence that they pursue the Bad Piggies, Red was more concerned with making sure that everyone was alright. As Red reprimanded Chuck for his bumbling, Stella pointed out that the Blues had flown off after the pigs on their own. Red led the search party to find the Blues, but the three little birds managed to find their way back on their own. Though Red was confused by the Blues' babble about an "EggSpark" and "Deceptihogs", knowing that the eggs were still in danger was enough for him to start preparing another attack. Unfortunately, Chuck once more flew ahead of the group, compromising Red's plans. Angry Birds Transformers #1

By the time Red caught up to Chuck, the EggSpark had transformed him and Hal into Bumblebee Bird and Grimlock bird, respectively. Scrutinizing his friends' new forms, he turned to Stella to explain to him what their strange new appendages were. ("Arms and legs," as it turns out.) Bumblebee Bird's new, more cautionary outlook to things only served to frustrate and confuse Red further. Eventually, Red was convinced that the rest of the Flock should grant themselves robotic bodies as well by touching the EggSpark. He was the last to do so, becoming Optimus Prime Bird after his upgrade. Along with a new form, Optimus Prime Bird gained a penchant for making long-winded inspirational speeches. He then ordered his troops to transform and roll out into action.

Upon catching up to the Deceptihogs, Optimus Prime Bird warned Megatron Pig that, though he did not want to fight, he would do so if the pig refused to hand over the eggs. His ultimatum became moot when Bumblebee Bird prematurely rushed into battle anyways, kicking off the scuffle. In the middle of the fight, the Flock's eggs sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be extremely hostile. Optimus Prime Bird was ready to continue his fight against Megatron Pig nonetheless, though his opponent called a time out so that he could take an incoming phone call. Age of Eggstinction!

On the other end of the line, Starscream Pig informed his leader that the Eggbots had begun to run wild on Piggy Island, sowing chaos in their wake. This new development gave Optimus Prime Bird pause, leading him to agree to work with the Deceptihogs in order to stop the Eggbots' rampage. The alliance was a shaky one though, and Optimus Prime Bird soon found himself arguing with Megatron Pig once more on the battlefield. Optimus Prime Bird accused Megatron Pig of destroying civilizations for millions of years, to which a confused Megatron Pig responded that he only wanted to eat some eggs. Optimus Prime Bird was then talked down by Arcee Bird, and regained his bearings on the situation at hand. He then ordered Arcee Bird, Bluestreak Bird, Lockdown Pig and Drift Bird to go rescue Starscream Pig from the Eggbots while another squad would capture an egg for study. Both group eventually returned, their objectives achieved. As Optimus Prime Bird began observing the captured Eggbot, Starscream Pig warned the group that the island's transformation was spiraling out of control. Revenge of the Fowlin'!

Despite the odds against them, and his ability to make inspiring speeches petering out, Optimus Prime Bird refused to give up hope. Thanks to Soundwave Pig's input on the situation, Optimus Prime Bird devised a plan to separate the EggSpark from the island, returning everything and everyone to normal in the process. He then led a mad dash towards the EggSpark while Bluestreak Bird fetched a giant slingshot to launch it off-planet. Thanks to everyone playing their part, Optimus Prime Bird finally came upon the EggSpark, only for Galvatron Pig to go berserk at that moment. While both Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig were distracted, Starscream Pig seized the opportunity to grab the EggSpark, intent to use it for his own selfish goals. Thankfully, Bumblebee Bird stepped in at the last moment, and launched both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark into outer space. As everything reverted to its initial state, the Flock discussed the day's events between them. Red expressed that he had never before looked as forward to a quiet day... unaware that nearby, a robotic cactus had just sprung to life and begun blasting away at the scenery. Hard Boiled

Commercial appearances

Red got turned into Optimus Prime Bird by the power of the EggSpark. Initially clashing with Megatron Pig, the pair were interrupted by the Eggbots, who were cyberforming everything around them, creating big guns that shot at both Autobirds and Deceptihogs. Luckily, Red's new body (specifically his arm) had LOTS of weaponry and he led the Autobirds and Deceptihogs to victory. Angry Birds Transformers: Cinematic Trailer

Optimus Prime Bird hitched a ride aboard Astrotrain, who dropped him off on a small island. Upon his arrival, he was pestered by a couple of Flying Pigbots. Both of them were disabled and left behind a few laser blasts later, and Optimus Prime Bird continued on his way. A Walking Mortar Tower proved too tough of an opponent for the Autobird to handle on his own, and he called upon Megatron Pig to help him out. The two of them together brought down their foe. Optimus Prime Bird then tried to shake Megatron Pig's hand, but he was "too slow," and Megatron Pig laughed at him. Angry Birds Transformers Comic-Con trailer

When Optimus Prime Bird tried to show off how cool he was, the awesome score suddenly changed into some disco music. The confused Autobird tried his best to dance to the tune. Red as Optimus Prime

Megatron Pig and Optimus Prime Bird exchanged a friendly fist-bump as they drove to the EggSpark. Megatron Pig reached it first... and instead of helping Optimus Prime Bird up next to him, laughed in his face and kicked him down as the EggSpark upgraded him into Dark Megatron Pig! The big jerk then drove off! Optimus Prime Bird fetched Heatwave Bird and Jazz Bird to raid the Deceptihogs' headquarters. Upon their arrival, they found the Deceptihogs using the EggSpark as a dance light. It was all very silly. Deceptihogs' Revenge

Optimus Prime Bird ran a marathon across the countryside, meeting up with Megatron Pig, Arcee Bird and Airachnid Bird as they all completed their workouts. The four of them then jumped up in the air in a cheer. Freezeframe. Arcee and Airachnid join the team!

Arcee Bird and Optimus Prime Bird were on the run from some Flying Pigbots when they came to a cliff edge. They tried to fight back, only to realize they were out of ammo! Thankfully, Bluestreak Bird showed up and helped them out! Meet Bluestreak and Prowl!

Voice actor: Antti Pääkkönen (Finnish)

Soon after Piggy Island was Cyberformed, all the Autobirds and Deceptihogs were captured and frozen, leaving only Red as Optimus Prime to save the day.

As they level up, all versions of Red undergo slight physical modifications. His chest windows go from two large windshields to two smaller ones flanked by even smaller side windows, his pelvis gains small colored decorations, his legs gain metal sidings, and his helmet gains additional crests as well. Additionally, Red gains a small Powermaster in engine mode attached to his grill .

As Optimus Prime

• Squad: Rescue Bots
• Mission Type: Intelligence
• Unlock Type: Start the game!

The very first character you use in the game, Red-as-Optimus is the everybird. He's not very specialized, having middle-of-the-road stats and attacks overall. His weapon of choice is a blue laser, which is fairly weak and not too fast firing, but it never overheats or has to reload. Plus, he has a huge number of Accessories, which can turn him into a tower-disintegrating menace with the right combinations.

As Ultra Magnus

• Squads: Target: 2006, The Wreckers
• Mission Type: Firepower
• Unlock Type: New Area (500 pigs), TelePod

Simply a white repaint (which is oddly fitting) of the Optimus Prime model, Ultra Magnus has a rapid fire magenta blaster similar to Lockdown's with a 20-shot clip, which must be reloaded periodically. While starting out fairly weak, the rapid-fire nature allows it to knock buildings down with well-placed shots and is great at shooting down incoming missiles.

As Energon Optimus Prime

• Squad: Energon Fueled
• Mission Type: Intelligence
• Unlock Type: New Area (2000 2400 pigs) TelePod

An energon-fueled variant of Optimus Prime, this version is unlocked after you've sunken more time than you should have into the game. Energon Optimus Prime also gets a survivability buff, due to the fact that restoring cyber-formed objects can heal an Energon boosted character, but he also takes more damage. His Ion Blaster also gets amped up, with much larger projectiles that do more damage, but has to reload after three shots. Sounds too good to be true? Well, believe it. But Chuck doesn't care. He uses Energon Optimus Prime as a reading lamp.

Ultimate Optimus Prime has better armor and an Ion Blaster that can obliterate most blocks in one shot, but has a much slower rate of fire than his other variants. As a "Variant Version" squaddie, he also gets double-or-nothing coins in events: don't make it through the level and you get nothing. You lose! Good day, sir!

As Nemesis Prime

• Squad: The Iconic Transformer
• Mission Type: Intelligence
• Unlock Type: In-app purchase, Challenge Event prize (7,500 tokens)

Nemesis Prime was created by the Eggbots to fight the Autobirds and Deceptihogs. But this evil clone was not so evil, as Optimus Prime's and Red's heroic personalities overcame his initial purpose, and turned against his creators.

His anti-gravity shots can send pigs and unobstructed blocks up in the air. Though weak at first, subsequent upgrades make his weapon strong enough to rocket entire structures and surrounding objects to oblivion! But it deals moderately weak damage against individual enemies.

He was first available in 2015 as a limited-time Halloween offer bundled with a couple of Halloween accessories and 400 gems for a pricey $12 (Yeah no.) A year later, players could finally unlock him for free. Free from actual money that is. You would have to collect 6000 tokens to unlock him in the "Smashing Pumpkins" Halloween event. Or you could purchase the Exclusive Halloween Bundle for the even more expensive $24.99, which contains Nemesis Prime, 500 gems, and his most recent Jetpack accessory. (Also a sturdy no.)

As Epic Optimus

• Squad: The Iconic Transformer
• Mission Type: Firepower
• Unlock Type: Challenge Event prize (4000/5000 Tokens)

This golden Optimus Prime Bird doesn’t seem to be based on any Optimus Primes that exist as of now. He has a very different weapon from the other Optimuses (Optimusses? Optimii?): an instant-hit green-blue tractor beam. Like with Grimlock Bird, this thin electric beam stays locked on its target until the target is destroyed or you change aim, and is excellent for precision strikes and hitting fast-moving targets like missiles and flying Pigs. The beam does steady damage like Grimlock's electric breath, albeit weaker, but also pulls on whatever it hits. So don’t go holding down on piggies and letting them hit your head- you like your health, don’t you? It's actually quicker to hit a Pig with a short blast and yank it off its perch than to whittle its health down with a sustained burst. The beam is much more effective on blocks, shattering glass and wood quickly, and will even break up stone in a second or two once sufficiently powered up. Use short, controlled bursts or quick sweeps to yank key blocks (or Pigs) out from towers and let the rest tumble.

Epic Optimus was first available in the 2016 Challenge Event "Chinese New Year", and is one of the most common Challenge Event characters to reappear. He could be unlocked (or upgraded) by Tokens earned in each day's event.

As Blurr

• Squad: Specialists
• Mission Type: ”???”
• Unlock Type: Challenge Event prize (10000 Tokens)

Blurr is very different from the other incarnations of Red in the game. Instead of a truck, he is a car. A very fast, futuristic, floating jet-esque car. And by very fast, we mean really really fast. He’s in fact so fast that every time you switch to vehicle mode, everything starts moving in slow motion! So wouldn’t Chuck have been a better choice to portray this character? Maybe...

His weapon is the same as the regular Optimus Prime, but instead of just one shot at a time he fires a load of shots with a very fast rate of fire, like a slow laser. The shots also ricochet upon impact, allowing you to really spread damage.

Blurr was originally available in the event of the same name for the well-known price of 10000 Tokens.

• Squad: Command
• Mission Type: Intelligence
• Unlock Type: Prime Pass reward (level 40)

War has broken out on Piggy Island! The Autobirds now not only have to watch out for the Eggbots, they also have to fight the Deceptihogs, who (surprise surprise) turned against them! Optimus Prime has (obviously) been chosen as the right bot to lead the Autobirds in this legendary battle and now goes by the name of General Optimus Prime.

His weapon provides arcing yellow laser bullets. They are a bit weak, but contain strong incendiary powers (similar to what some accessories do). This makes them a little stronger and more destructive, but they are still not very effective against good ol’ Mortar Towers. So much for $20!

As Optimus Maximus

• Squad: Combiners
• Mission Type: Firepower
• Unlock Type: Gem Purchase (750 or more), Challenge Event prize (10,000 Tokens)

Optimus Maximus is currently the only combiner with all components as individual characters in the game (Menasor comes close, but Wildrider remains out of reach), comprising Optimus Prime, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Prowl, and...sometimes Rodimus.

Their weapon is a mixture of Optimus Prime's and Ironhide's weapons, firing two bolts followed by three diagonal beams. The bolts are nigh-useless, functioning as a sort of precision shot that only destroys the block you target, but the beams come in right after and annihilate everything, so that's fun. They also turn invisible from time to time for absolutely no good reason, which unsurprisingly comes from Mirage. It comes in handy sometimes, but it only lasts for about 2 to 3 seconds and there seems to be no way to activate this ability by hand.

Strangely, Optimus Maximus doesn't have a special attack, unlike Devastator, Superion and Menasor. At the time of this writing, the lack of a special ability will disable the transform button for other characters in a Spark Run if Maximus is the first character.

Not only is the composition of the character inspired by the Combiner Wars iteration, but Optimus's chest is visible on Maximus's back, meaning the combination sequence (which is of course never seen) would also have to be similar. So that's neat.

Optimus Maximus was originally available in the challenge event of the same name, once AGAIN, for 10,000 tokens. Then again, the other Combiners are the same price, so...

As Major Ultra Magnus

• Squad: Command
• Mission Type: Firepower
• Unlock Type: Prime Pass reward (level 40)

The war between the Autobirds and the Deceptihog is escalating! The robopigs turned out to be annoyingly strong and the Autobirds are desperate for help! Luckily, Major Ultra Magnus came to join the fight!

His weapon is the same rapid fire magenta bullet blaster-only with an arcing modification, like the General. The bullets also have a black trail for some reason. Perhaps it's the battle damage?

As Captain Nemesis Prime

• Unlock Type: Prime Pass reward (level 10)

Captain Nemesis Prime has entered the fray on the Deceptihog side (even though he was an Autobird but oh well) and he seems a bit more... grey.

His weapon is just his original. Thats' it.

As General Optimus Prime Neon

• Squad: Raging Squad
• Mission Type: ???
• Unlock Type: Prime Pass reward (level 10)

After his last battle with his arch-nemesis Lord Megatron, General Optimus Prime disappeared alongside his foe. In his absence, battle upon battle is lost on the side of the heroic Autobirds. The mechanized avians are in dire need of help. And then, as his peers cry out for him, the legendary Prime emerges from the shadows, dissolving said shadows as he marches onto the battlefield with his illuminated armor. Imbued with new Energon-based powers, General Optimus Prime Neon leads his soldiers to victory! Along with him, though, Lord Megatron too has returned bearing the power of Neon, and he’s angrier than ever! Who shall prevail?

Neon Optimus experiences the same effects as Energon characters, thus being cursed with higher damage from attacks but simultaneously being able to heal himself by collecting Energon in levels. And yes, his weapon is still....the same. His good ol' arced-up incendiary Ion Blaster.

As Neon Ultra Magnus

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

Defeat has once more struck the Autobird alliance after Neon Ratchet and Neon Starscream went toe to toe on the battlefield. Now, as the smoke settles, Ultra Magnus is energized with the power of Neon and sent out to launch an all-out attack on the Deceptihogs. However, the Pigs have upgraded one of their own as well; Neon Ultra Magnus finds himself opposite the Strategist himself: Neon Shockwave.

Needless to say, Neon Ultra Magnus too experiences Energon effects in levels. At this point we know well enough what that means.

Players keep on buying reskins of these seen-before characters...when these reskins are just them with altered colors and battle scratches...and the same weapons. YET AGAIN. It is better not to repeat the same phrase constantly. Same arcing magenta blaster, well then.

Toys

Angry Birds Transformers

• Optimus Prime Bird (Telepods Racer, 2014)
  • Accessories: Telepods base

Part of the Toys"R"Us Angry Birds Transformers Telepods" toyline, Optimus Prime Bird transforms from robot to truck, his bird head visible in both modes, and based on the design of the live action movie continuity's body for Optimus Prime used in the first three films. He includes a Telepods base which, when placed over a phone or tablet's camera, allows the toy to be 'scanned into' the Angry Birds Transformers app.

This toy was redecoed as Ultra Magnus Bird (see below).

• More information on Optimus Prime Bird at TFU.info

• Energon Racers Pack (Telepods Racers multi-pack, 2014)
  • Accessories: Telepods base

• Known designers: Hisao Nishimoto (TakaraTomy)

This clear-blue version of Optimus Prime Birds was only available in the "Energon Racers Pack", which included the "Energon" versions of Grimlock Bird, Lockdown Pig, Soundwave Pig and Starscream Pig, plus a single Telepods base to share among them.

• More information on Energon Racer Optimus Prime Bird at TFU.info

• Ultra Magnus Bird vs. Soundblaster Pig (Telepods Racer, 2014)
  • Accessories: Telepods base

A redeco of the Optimus Prime Bird Telepod Racer figure, available only in a two-pack with Soundblaster Pig. Not a lot to say.

• Optimus Prime Bird Raceway (Telepods track set, 2014)
  • Accessories: Telepods base

• Known designers: Hisao Nishimoto (TakaraTomy)

The Optimus Prime Bird Raceway set includes Ultimate Optimus Prime Bird, redecoed from his single-packed Racer toy.

• More information on Ultimate Optimus Prime Bird at TFU.info

• Optimus Prime Attack Game (Jenga Game, 2014)
  • Accessories: Truck vehicle, launcher, Jenga frame & blocks

The "Optimus Prime Attack Game" includes a non-transforming Optimus Prime Bird vehicle (well, there are pop-out wings), with the bird-head being removable. The hole in the bottom of the head is compatible with any 5mm post, so go nuts and plunk that noggin on your Armada toys! This of course means that Red and his vehicle are cross-compatible with any other Angry Birds Transformers Jenga head/vehicle combo, including the also-in-this-set Galvatron Pig.

The game challenges the player to hurl their chosen vehicle via a spring-loaded launcher at a large Jenga-block-filled Grimlock Bird frame, and knock down as many blocks and Deceptihogs as possible. The set comes with two hapless Minion Pigs to plunk into the frame: Starscream and Stinger.

• Epic Optimus Prime Bird (Telepods racer, 2015)
  • Accessories: Telepods base

Epic Optimus and the three other figures part of the "Turbo Energon" subline were temporarily listed on the Hasbro website, but never saw release.

Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

• Rodimus Bird Vs. Nemesis Prime Bird (Telepods racer, 2015)
  • Accessories: Telepods base

An Energon Racers Two-Pack that was temporarily listed on the Hasbro website but was ultimately canceled. This is also the first two-pack to feature two birds instead of a bird and pig. Maybe Nemesis Prime was originally planned to be a Deceptihog.

Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

• Red Bird is seen as the 'protagonist' of the Angry Birds franchise.
• In celebration of the launch of the Angry Birds Transformers game, a costumed actor portrayed Optimus Prime Bird and interacted with fans young and old at New York Comic Con 2014.
• Following the addition of Major Ultra Magnus and Major Shockwave in June 2020, the regular Ultra Magnus got the same rust spots as Major Ultra Magnus for some strange reason.
• Omar Sy voiced Red in the French dub of The Angry Birds Movie.
