Plot

The rest of the Angry Birds arrive at the Eggspark's location where they learn about it's ability to change them into Autobirds, and about the Deceptihog's existence, so they decide, despite the obvious mind-altering side effects, to also expose themselves to the egg, so they can fight back, and head off to the Deceptihog's location.

The Deceptihogs find themselves on top of a tower, when Galvatron Pig gets into a strop and smashes a hole at the top, causing them all to fall to the bottom (although Starscream Pig flies off to his own safety). Grimlock Bird finds himself at the tower as well, and decides to investigate it.

Very soon, Grimlock Bird smashes his way into the tower and starts fighting the Deceptihogs, but is taken down by their sheer force, luckily however, the rest of the Autobirds arrive to rescue their friend,a nd two factions fight it out.

After a short while though, the eggs start to transform themselves, and begin to run off with newly grown legs and weapons, which they soon find out is bad, as they have gained the ability to multiply and have overtaken Piggie Island (as reported by Starscream Pig).

Notes

• The title of this issue is of course based on "Age of Extinction"
• Matilda, the only Angry Bird who isn't in Transformers/Angry Birds is mentioned today as being back home, somewhat explaining her absence
• It's implied here that the Angry Birds lose their previous personalities etc upon being turned into Autobirds (though the Deceptihogs seem to still have the same personalities etc)
• Bumblebee Bird's vocal processor is damaged here, much like his Movie and Aligned counterparts.
• The Eggbots have the ability to multiply
• Megatron Pig has a phone in his chest...he doesn't even need to yell out "Go Go Gadgetphone!", how privileged!
