The 2014 San Diego Comic Con is here and it will be JAM packed with Angry Birds updates! We expect to hear updates from Rovio and Hasbro on Angry Birds Transformers, Angry Birds Stella and Angry Bird Star Wars. IDW’s Angry Birds Comics will be represented, as well. There has been no word yet if Sony Pictures will have any new information regarding the Angry Birds movie.
The Con also marks the debut of the Stella and Transformers full trailers, including Stella gameplay (not out yet). This news post will be a repository for all Angry Birds #SDCC news, so keep checking back for updates over the weekend and next week.

Yours is much better. Clearer images and even lists the characters
names.
@sntrooper :-)
Gosh, I’ve heard about Star Wars Rebels, and I really want to see it, But I never even anticipated it merging with ABSW.
We might be looking at a whole new game, here!
@Keegan the telepods will be available on ABSW II it shows it on the pack.
looks like rovio will replace the lucusarts- AW I FORGOT HOW TO SPELL THAT COMPANY’S NAME!!!!
I think I’ll go crazy! I can’t wait. :/
I would like be there :(
Looks like Rovio is “expanding their horizons” with new types of game play. The fall season of this this years is building up to be an exciting time for game releases.
I wasn’t expecting Stella to be in Transformers.
(I’m talking about the ABStella trailer when I say the following) Now THIS is how to make a trailer for a videogame! Pretty colors up and down and all around, memorable characters, and quirky, yet memorable music. Rovio, I will actually be looking forward to this entry into the series.

Just by seeing those vids I just want to play them so much.
My brother says he thinks Angry Birds Transformers is going to be a kind of sidescrolling game.
Indeed the Fall got lots of work for us to do..
“Megatron and his forces attack Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and bunch of other Autobots who are carrying the AllSpark, the source of the Cybertronians’ power (to put it simply). As usually happens, Starscream’s ambition and arrogance get the better of him and he messes things up–and the AllSpark tumbles into space as their ship quantum jumps away. The AllSpark tumbles through reality and lands on Piggie Island, where it gets changed into the EggSpark,” Barber tells Newsarama. “Meanwhile–the Pigs have stolen the Angry Birds’ eggs, and as they’re struggling to get the eggs back, Chuck–who’s a hot-headed, reckless bird, manages to mess things up with HIS ego. Into the midst of this, the EggSpark starts changing everybody into half pig or half bird half Cybertronian. But the pigs and birds don’t just get the Cybertronian ability to change forms, they get pieces of Cybertronian personalities, too–and that’s where the real craziness begins. When a pig used to following King Pig’s orders suddenly finds himself imbued with Starscream’s powers and psyche, or when Chuck suddenly finds himself not hotheaded and reckless but friendly and thoughtful like Bumblebee… Well, the feathers will fly. Also, something something bacon pun.”
Basic plotline of Angry Birds Transformers comic series (game story will probably be similar).

Is it just me or does the STELLA music sound a little bit like the Green Acres theme?
here is a guy that is playing angry birds stella at comic con, so you can see the gameplay, slingshot based totally! @admins

Well, I’ve watched the gameplay (thanks @josm). So I want to say some words about this game. The game is good, the old gameplay is back, new birds, abilities etc. All things are great, except one thing. This is the sight. Rovio adds this stupid feature since ABSpace. To my mind this is useless. With the sight the game won’t be hard. All levels will be very easy with it, so it won’t be interesting. I hope they add a button, which allows to turn the sight off. Also I hope they finally add a level editor.
Good idea
Level editors could be useful and I agree that it is rather easy to win levels using sight
Nice! Thanks for sharing @josm.
