How many versions of Angry Birds can there be? It seems endless now with the Angry Birds Transformers game coming soon.

Angry Birds Transformers, the newest iteration for avian video game, was announced in the middle of this month will soon take flight, combining two mega video game and toy franchises.

This Angry Birds Transformers combination is the third mash-up for Angry Birds and the 13th Angry Birds video game within its franchise. The last mash-up Angry Birds had was with Star Wars in 2012. The titles are not exactly brilliant (e.g., Angry Birds Star Wars), but with this week's opening of "Transformers: Age of Extinction," it is great timing.

Rovio, the makers behind the Angry Birds video game and this newest venture, and its Chief Marketing Officer Blanca Juti said, "We're really excited to combine the iconic Transformers universe with the quirky world of Angry Birds. 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," Entertainment Weekly reported.

Angry Birds Transformers will also include toys, books, drinks and a product line from HASBRO (the originators of the Transformers).

Here is what we know so far about Angry Birds Transformers:

The tagline is "Birds Disguised As Robots in Disguise," which is a little weird but not off-center for Angry Birds.

Also, rather than have "Autobots" and "Decepticons," there will be "Autobirds" and "Deceptihogs." According to Forbes, featured in the lineup of "Autobirds" are Optimus (Red), Bumblebee (Chuck) and Heatwave (Terence), just to name a few. The "Deceptihogs" are consist of Galvatron, Soundwave and Starscream, among others.

The Angry Birds Transformers is also expected to extend to the Angry Birds Go! By September of this year, Angry Birds gamers should have the ability to swap out their regular characters for the Transformer ones, Forbes reported. This will perhaps be something in a form called "TELEPODS technology"; the "Telepods" could allow players to "teleport their favorite Angry Birds Transformers characters into the game and gain unique powers," Entertainment Weekly reported.
