Rating: 1 star (Did Not Finish)

Review:

The writing for this was so awful that I couldn't finish reading it. With so much of the dialog being off it made it hard to read, for instance when Starscream was telling Soundwave he needs to loosen up and stop being such a company man. That right there, I'm not buying that as something he would have said. From the writing it didn't seem as if the author was familiar with either the Transformer or the Angry Birds characters.

None of theses characters were in character, the writing really made this unbearable to read. This crossover follows the Autobots losing the Allspark after they were attacked by the Decepticons. The Allspark wound up in the world of the Angry Birds.

The Pigs after stealing the birds eggs attempted to cook them when they found the Allspark and after touching it they started to turn into Deceptihogs. Sometime later the birds found the Allspark then turned in Autobirds.

The Angry Birds and The Transformers are usually fun comics to read but this crossover was not good at all.

The only good thing about this was the artwork. It was bright and colorful for the Angry Birds section and dark and dramatic for the Transformers.
