A few things I as a transformers fan would like to note: Astrotrain is usually just a regular decepticon with 2 vehicle modes, but for whatever reason his robot mode is nowhere to be found in this game (I guess angry birds hates triple changers) Omega Supreme is actually not a combiner, but instead a titan (really big guy who turns into a base instead of a vehicle) Oddly enough despite normally always being a titan Trypticon is represented as a regular sized bot Nightbird's body shape and vehicle mode are directly based on what Arcee could have looked like (Rovio robbed us) Transformers has had characters be literal recolors of each other since the very beginning, so the amount of reskins doesn't come as a surprise (even if many of them are inaccurate)
I appreciate this very much! I wish I had this info before making the video haha. The reskins isn’t a surprise to me, makes it easier for the merchandise I’m sure
As A Transformer fan, here are some things I can explain: The reason Blurr slows down time in vehicle mode is because the original characters gimmick is that he moves, talks, and does everything with insane speed, you can look it up too! (Nitpick: Everything about blur was fast in the 86 movie except his vehicle speed, but I guess they had to represent it somehow) The Damaged Variants are most likely references to the 86 movie, where a lot of transformers either were killed off or got the crap beaten out of them at some point, now some of them are a little off, like Hound, who was never even seen in combat in the movie, in his only scene, he just stands there, therefore he never took battle damage, but characters like Optimus Prime and Ironhide make sense, as both were heavily damaged and died in the movie Arcee changed because in the comic and trailer she appears as G1 Arcee, but in the actual game she seems to be based off the Micheal Bay Arcee, which if i’m being honest, makes me scream WHYYYY as well, as Arcee in the Micheal Bay movies is not a prominent character AT ALL (PS, THE MICHEAL BAY ARCEE IS HOT PINK!!! NOT PURPLE!!! ELITA-1 IS THE PURPLE ONE! OMG ROVIO, HOW DID YOU SCREW THIS UP?) Right off that PS, They did a decent job on Chromia, she is obviously based off the Micheal Bay movies again, but at least her colors are right, since she is blue in the movies, the red accents are the only part that bug me :\ (Off note:) I don’t know what the heck is going on with Stella, half her characters are Micheal Bay based and the others are G1 based, it seriously confuzzles me The reason Blaster copies Chef Pig is because Chef Pig is Soundwave, and Soundwave and Blaster are rivals in the show, as they both have sound based alt modes originally :) Uhhhh, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Red Alert all share the same mold because if multiple reasons, Red Alert was a late G1 re-paint of Sideswipe’s toy, and Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are brothers so… ye :) All the Blues’ characters are the Dodson brothers, except for Beachcomber, so I guess that makes sense Like Chokun-Gaming said, Omega Supreme is a titan, not a combiner Mighty Eagle makes sense as Alpha Trion, Alpha Trion is the wise transformer who trains Optimus, Ultra Magnus, and Megatron, and after his appearance in the movie, this is just freaking hilarious 😂 (Same with Kup, as in the 86 movie, he is the old, wise war veteran) Idk what Eggbot is based off of, most likely the exosuits seen in the transformers 86 movie, since one is seen being manned by the main human of the movie, Daniel, who is also a child, like the eggs being young birds? I don’t really know tbh… Thanks for reading my babble on and on and on and on! I actually can’t imagine you got this far!
One thing i don't understand is why they made chef pig soundwave. They chose the most backstabbing, prideful pig and chose him to be the most loyal decepticon. They should have turned him into starscream.
I'm honestly surprised that this game is still getting updated to this every day. Usually with games like this, it would suddenly stop around 2019 and after. But holy sh!t they actually remember this game!
@@Jake.Millerhe is supposed to be a “daring-do” guy But that only happens in G1 (and in Prime to some extent) But yeah Beyond that he is reduced to cameos or death (or just straight up not showing up)
6:00 Optimus Maximus actually DOES have a secondary ability, but it’s really obscure. If you don’t attack as it for 5-10 seconds, it turns invisible and nothing will attack you. The instant you try to fire, it will end the invisibility, however. Very annoying that this isn’t hinted at.
Fun fact for some of the characters. Their designs are a mix of G1 and the movie designs. Prime example of this is Optimus originally having the two windows for the chest, but gaining an upgraded torso more akin to the movies. Another example was Galvatron, who had the mix of the Age of Extinction vehicle mode, but robot mode leans more towards G1 with his massive canon. Another thing were the accessories that gave some of the characters upgrades, like explosive shots for Optimus, continuous fire for ultra magnus, and typical upgrades for defense, attack speed, transformers etc.
@jake millee i would recommend researching them before ranking them due to accuracy to the designs being a factor in quality and general knowledge always helps
Seems like transformer fans really hate how the pigs and birds look and it’s interesting to know how angry Bird fans feel about the transformers. I always love this game as a kid and I love both franchises equally. It’s sad that both fandoms don’t really like this game 😢
Haha that’s really strange. This game did pretty well, but I can understand why transformers fans wouldn’t like it. A lot of characters look nothing like the original
I don't hate them but some choices they made where horrible. Hell,the devs most likely didn't even made a research about the transformers. The picked chef pig, the biggest backstabber and made him soundwave, the most loyal decepticon.
It was about time you ranked the Autobirds. As a Transformers fan I really enjoyed this video and your opinions on these designs, and as someone who loves the Decepticons I cant wait for you to eventually rank the Deceptihogs.
19:34 it’s coz they’re meant to be counterparts (blaster and soundwave) one is a boombox, the other a cassette player, and they both hand little guys that can come out from their chest
It would be awesome to see you rank the transformer designs, seeing the outside perspective on characters with little knowledge on them would be hilarious. I could totally see you have a war start in the comments if you call g1 starscream mid or something similar.
It's almost midnight for me, and I'm watching a guy rank the Transformers variants of the birds from Angry Birds ...... Worth it Jokes aside, really cool to see someone rank ALL of the Angry Birds.... birds, also, since I'm a HUGE Transformers fan, it's cool to see reactions for some characters lmao Great vid :)
Looking at this video makes me realise just how much more this game is for transformers fans than it is for angry birds fans, stuff like the mighty eagle being a guy named Kup just doesn’t make any sense without context
@@Jake.Miller you did! They kept calling me names and slapping my stomach because I’m fat and it jiggles. Kept saying I was a “goober gooner,” I don’t even know what that means!
I’m just saying but 24:49, Omega Supreme is not a combiner is a just big dude. Idk if anyone has commented this fact. I like this tier list video, man I used to love this game a lot as a child is nice to see some recognition of this game!
Someone already commented informing you tripticon is a titan, but what he didn’t inform you is he’s not just a titan that is giant, he’s actually a CITY. Same with OMEGA Supreme. those two TURN INTO CITIES. I just thought I’d try to blow your mind
this was one of my favorite games when I was younger. Your vids have inspired me to replay games from my childhood like Angry Birds, PVZ, and temple run
6:20 and now capcom present redman x 7:02 blue the blues Replacement 18:01 yes relaxing music in my ears and in oranges non existing ears 25:37...what!? 28:50 peekaboo
i love angry birds transformers but i can 100% agree they just get lazy with the more recent designs soon if you rank all the deceptihog pigs you'll see that the minion pigs are literally all the same just different colors.
@@Jake.Miller Football Matilda is literally just Matilda’s Face and head/tail feathers slapped onto a Football and I don’t like how they gave her white eyelids when they should be brown to match the football
The Kup segment made me laugh! There’s no way that the Mighty Eagle would be put on a transformer with a stupid name like Kup, I personally thought that would be a job destined for Jim! But I guess if Jim was the head of Kup, that would mean he would be in S! But of course because he’s Jim, that couldn’t happen!
What happens when developers don't do their research beforehand. That's pretty much what happened here. As a diehard transformers fan, I hate how inconsistent transformers can be when looking at different forms of media of these guys. Personally, I believe that's the biggest flaw with transformers, and the main reason why the developers didn't bother to put in much effort into this game. I really think transformers in general don't get enough appreciation due to their major inconsistency issues. This game could have definitely been much better. Btw, I love the two girls one Kup joke, absolute legend.
16:19 soo uh about that, in G1 chomia was basically implied to be with ironhide is I’m not mistaken (Edit: I forgot to say this but also the reason why blaster has the same every as chef piggy is because soundwave and blaster are literally the same person but on different sides)
Just watched the intro, and honestly, you could've just ranked the main birds, but i really respect you for ranking all of them, haha Upd.: well, nvm. Some of them have different stats. Haven't played this one at all, oopsie
I just love how you used Goldbite Grimlock's portrait for Grey Slam Grimlock, and THEN used an EDITED version of GREY SLAM Grimlock's portrait for Goldbite Grimlock! The sheer, fucking audacity, dude 😃😃
If you're wondering where all the character names come from, they're not made up, they're all from the transformers series, the only made up characters are the (energon, energized, neon, scratched up, epic) are the made-up ones (Also omega supreme is the only combiner that actually isn't a combiner, he's just a really big transformer)
Context for Ultra Magnus: He isn't necessarily an Optimus Prime clone, in most of his incarnations, he combines with his trailer to make his robot mode. But when he transforms without his trailer, he makes a ghost Optimus Prime. But AB Transformers, he only had his ghost robot mode instead of his signature one. Lazy game devs.
