Rovio has announced Angry Birds Transformers for mobile devices.
While the franchise has recently spawned karting and RPG spin-offs, Angry Birds Transformers is expected but not confirmed to offer more traditional bird-flinging gameplay.
Users will be able to scan characters directly into the game using a new line of collectable Telepods figures from Hasbro.
Over one million Telepods were sold in the first month after they debuted alongside Angry Birds Star Wars 2 last October.
"We're really excited to combine the iconic Transformers universe with the quirky world of Angry Birds" said Rovio chief marketing officer Blanca Juti. "This mash-up is going to appeal to those who grew up with the brand in the 80s, as well as fans of the brand today."
Hasbro chief marketing officer John Frascotti added: "We collaborated with Rovio to create opportunities for kids and families to experience Autobirds and Deceptihogs across multiple formats and entertainment platforms, for a completely immersive branded experience."
