Autobirds, roll out! Fans of the Robots in Disguise will be pleased to hear that today marks the worldwide availability of Angry Birds Transformers, following its soft-launched in New Zealand, Finland, Canada and Australia last month.

Following the well-received Angry Birds Star Wars, the game takes another beloved childhood property and applies the popular Angry Birds formula, with an added 2D run-and-gun dimension that keeps the title feeling fresh.

Check out our above video by Cult of Mac’s own Joshua Smith for first impressions.

With plenty of fan service included this game looks a whole lot of fun — just so long as it keeps in-app purchases to a minimum.

If that’s the case — and the game is able to capture half the magic of the below trailer — we’ll have an App-timus Prime on our hands, rather than another freemium Decepti-Con. (Sorry about that!)

Angry Birds Transformers is downloadable for free from the iOS App Store, available for iOS devices running iOS 7.0 and later.
