Red (Classic)

Red (The bird, not the color) is the angriest bird you’ll ever meet, why would he be so grumpy? you might ask, well he is what you would describe as the opposite of carefree, if there’s something that is not perfect to him, he will try his hardest to make it so, and if can’t make it the way he wants, that is when his rage breaks out, so if you’re ever going to hang out with him, try to give him a good first impression, it’s REQUIRED. Being the leader of his flock isn’t exactly a easy responsibility for Red, especially when he has to make sure each flock member’s eccentric personalities are all focused on keeping the eggs from the Bad Piggies, well... not that he’s terribly stable himself with his short temper.

He maybe a hot-head most of the time, but in some cases, he can be a really nice bird to hang around with, just don’t ruin it by doing anything that makes him angry, like making fun of his overly serious personality, Oh, did we mention how much he hate pigs? because he sure won’t shut up about it, in fact, ever since the first time the pigs stole the eggs, Red has developed a instinct where he would quickly go rage mode if he saw pigs, or at least if he THINKS that he saw pigs, and his instinct would usually make him body slam right into his targets, smarter pigs would know better than to take him on face-to-face.

Angry Birds
Red is the starter bird type available early on in the game, and subsequent Chinese versions. He doesn't have any special abilities outside of squeaking bird noises and he is not super effective against any specific materials, unlike most birds however, he is really bouncy, making it possible for players to perform bank shots with this particular bird, he is also great with toppling down loose vertical structures since he doesn't just crush them upon impact.

Angry Birds Seasons
Red returns in Angry Birds Seasons as the starter bird once again. His gameplay is identical to his ability in the original game. However in the Invasion of the Egg Snatchers, he plays as the Telebird a special powerup where as the name suggests, when you touch the screen, he will slow down until you choose a determined place. After choosing it, Telebird will teleport to the place you wanted, destroying what it's near him, also, he will attract things to the place.

Angry Birds Rio
Red returns in Angry Birds Rio as the starter bird yet again, complete with the same gameplay as the other games. Red, along with the other Angry Birds, were smuggled by Nigel and was taken to Rio de Janerio, Brazil but were eventually freed with the help of Blu and Jewel. Red later came back to visit Blu and Jewel in the Rio 2 storyline, to stop the remaining marmosets and any other obstacles within the levels.

Most notably, the Rio 2 segments redesigned Red to make him match to his appearance in Angry Birds Toons (see below) and have a special power-up called Samba Burst. Here, he will be wearing a fruit hat, and will have a happy expression. When he collides onto any surface, he will make all the surrounding objects shake and launch them.

Angry Birds Transformers
When the Eggspark crashed landed on Piggy Island, it cyberformed the island transforming Red into the noble Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. However soon after the island was cyberformed, all Autobirds and Deceptihogs alike were captured from the Eggbots and trapped in an Icey stasis pod.

As Optimus Prime

 * Squad: Rescue Bots
 * Mission Type: Intelligence

As the very first character you use in the game, Red-as-Optimus is the everybird. He's not very specialized, having middle-of-the-road stats and attacks overall. His weapon of choice is a laser, which is fairly weak and not too fast firing, but it never overheats or has to reload. Plus, he has a huge number of Accessories, which can turn him into a tower-disintegrating menace with the right combinations.

As Ultra Magnus

 * Squad: Target: 2006, The Wreckers
 * Mission Type: Firepower
 * Faction: Autobirds
 * Unlock Type: 500 Pigs
