Official Angry Birds Twitter Account and the Google+ Page has announced the next update for the Angry Birds: Transformers Mobile Game.
Though the exact date of the update is not announced, the update will bring Autobot/Autobird Bluestreak to the game. Rightfully so, Bluestreak will be portrayed by Jim, Jake and Jay; the Eastern Bluebird trio known as The Blues.
Rovio stated:
The Deceptihogs aren’t gonna like this one…
A new Autobird is rolling out soon! #AngryBirdsTransformers
#GetReady! #BlueStreak is coming to #AngryBirdsTransformers!
Followed by the image on this News Post.
Keep your eyes on the TFW2005 front page to learn when the new update will rollout on Android and iOS.

So, how many Energonicons are currently known? I've managed to see 15 in different Youtube videos.
Rapidfire, Healthpack and Photoblast are 3 stars, Boomshake, Reflectron, Sub-Woofer and Gravitron are 2 stars, others are 1 star.

I'm experiencing a (beneficial) bug. I got impatient right before one of my characters leveled up to 11 and paid a few gems to finish early. It upgraded to 11 but still had the upgrade arrow next to it. I paid a few gems again and it immediately upgraded to 12. I got all the way to level 14 before it stopped and it cost only a half dozen gems in total and no wait.
It wasn't a fluke either since I got another character from level 9 to 14 in the same way with no waiting. I figured I saved at least a week in upgrade time.
Hope this works for you guys still playing.

TBH I use the EMP one for almost everybody, except for the default Shield which I use for the Energon guys, who tend to be too fragile at Medium and up (and sometimes even on easy!) and need at least the one-cube shield to survive sometimes. Otherwise the EMP is just so useful in taking out those flying jerks who like to slam into you.

Bluestreak's got three heads…that's so weird. is he the new Blitzwing now?

Yeah, it is a bit of a crap shoot, sometimes though they'll be a 2 in 5 chance for an Energoniconiconconicon, sometimes there's not one at all. I've got about a dozen so far, and honestly the only ones I can see myself using regularly are the EMP one (an absolute must for Heatwave/Sentinal and Soundwave/Blaster) and two of the electro ones. The rest are really varying degrees of meh so far. It would have been a ball ache, but it might have been an idea to only allow any given one to be used once or twice a day, like Ramjet. That would have at least made you think a bit more about them. As it is 95.269% of them (give or take) are pointless.
Having said that, I don't have any 3 star rarities yet, and the 2 2 stars I have are both crappy shields, so I'm sure there's probably something amazing waiting in the wings

Same on android…

So very much this -_-
Though I disagree about the Energonicon creation thing. It seems to be a total crapshoot; while I do appreciate the money and occasional extra crystals, I really want the Energonicons, but it seems as though there's only a 1-in-5 chance of getting one. It's good that there is at least one material present per stage, at least, but then they went and increased the material costs for upgrading AND the amount of time it takes to do the harder missions. Right now I'm focusing on gathering as many crystals as I can to unlock extra slots for the medium- and hard-difficulty Missions so that I can get all 5 rewards from them.

Crashing on start up on iOS again. Well done Rovio…

Only had Bluestreak as a buddy thus far. He looks weird imo, and fires a triple bomb/grenade sort of thing. He was only level 1 so not too sure of the effectiveness.
The crafting thing is fun, and so very, very glad that you can now tailor what ability your characters have. My favourite so far is the Thunderblast, it's basically like having Grimlock along with you. The Energonicons still need to be powered up by destroying buildings, same as the powers did, and the effectiveness is still dependent on the characters level.
Very disappointed that they called the mad scientist Professor Pig when Dr. Porkville was such an obvious and fitting option.

Can anyone screenshot Bluestreak's and Prowl's bios?

Angry Birds Transformers Latest Updates!
I've updated my Angry Birds Transformers for Android device:
There were some new updates I've noticed:
1. The Autobirds and Deceptihogs no longer have abilities (shields / electric impulse blast / skywarp hail of missiles) – but exchanged with a tiny robot buddy (energonicon) with special abilities;
2. Skywarp is missing from the menu;
3. The quantity of materials in silo had increase tremendously – about 5 times from previous max level;
4. The Dome (in the middle of the island) is accessible –> to meet Professor Pig (apologize if this is the wrong name) – you need to upgrade & create energonicon (between 1 star to 3 stars) using 3 materials (any combination will do). These Energonicons have special capabilities (like rapid fire, etc) similar to the abilities of the Autobirds / Deceptihogs (refer item 1 above). When you first used this upgrade, you get to play a tutorial on how to create and use them in the event…
5. The Achievement, Friend Activity, Leaderboards and Setting, are now at the Triangle button on the left bottom of the screen (next to telepod button).
6. The new characters are Bluestreak and Prowl – unlocked by way of missions (similar to Arcee and Blackarachnia)

To repeat what's been said, not loading after update for android. Just like last time. I have to go to town for real internet so I didn't think to backup my game before I downloaded. So no playing until they fix it, which I guess I'll look for notification on here with my phone since this is how I find out about updates. Someone give the word when it works!

That's awesome!

Fixed the boot up problem by deleting then reinstalling the app. Since I had Gamecenter on, it reloaded my game to where I left off. The last time, I had Gamecenter off so had to wait for Rovio to fix the app.
First impression seems that the gameplay is a bit easier. The Energonicon thing takes some getting used to.
Arvegtor
Same here.
Not entirely, at least not for me. Before it crashed after trying to load account info. The only possibility to play this for me was turning off internet. They never fixed it. Now it crashes exactly after loading screen, even without showing the island.
Agregor
Hmm
I want to agree with someone who said this.
One of them should've been Prowl
The other bluestreak
and the other should've been smokescreen

Mine's crashing on startup just like with that last update (iOS version). Another win for the Rovio debugging team.
At least this will make me stop playing this silly game for a while.

Stopped playing his awhile ago. Overly expensive upgrades taking over 24 hours to complete plus repetitive content sucked my interest dry.
