The game's story is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the unique blend of Angry Birds and Transformers, as well as the engaging character backstories and missions. However, some users feel that the overall narrative lacks depth and could benefit from additional content and side quests. While the graphics and gameplay are praised, there are complaints about bugs and mission-related issues that detract from the storytelling experience.

“This game is simply an amazing story between Transformers and Angry Birds.”
“It's such a great game, great graphics, good storyline, and it's a mixture of my two favorite things: Transformers and Angry Birds.”
“Now, post 2.0 'upgrade,' the missions are pointless, forward progress has been slowed to a crawl, no new characters unless you buy the derivative ones in the prime pass, and they've confirmed that the eggsparks are gone.”
“Overall great game, you only play ads when you need to, but it eventually gets very consistent with little plot changes.”
“The game is very good but I feel that Angry Birds Epic was better than this, so I hope they bring back Epic and make this game better with more storylines.”

“Every time I go into a battle, I play it for about 30 seconds, but then it lags, freezes, and then the app stops.”

Overall, the game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant performance issues such as stuttering, lag spikes, and crashes, even on high-end devices. Many players express frustration over the game's inability to run smoothly on various Android versions, particularly Android 11, and urge developers to address these optimization shortcomings. While some users note that the gameplay is enjoyable, the persistent performance problems detract from the overall experience.
“For the love of god, Rovio fix this game to play on newer Android devices, there are so many performance issues that it's ridiculous that you would allow this to be available for download when it barely supports more modern Android devices.”
“Game performs terribly, getting about 10fps when my tablet from 2016 can run smoothly.”
“Horrible performance, the game is not optimized, still gets stutter even with a mid-spec phone, but gameplay is good.”
“Cost of upgrades and everything else is a bit too expensive for my liking, there's also something that chops up the audio and lags the game when collecting coins. It's an awesome game and runs smooth, but it needs some optimization, especially for Samsung devices and those running on Android 11.”
“Good game overall but I do have to say, optimization is lacking as my phone is not slow and yet the game occasionally has large lag spikes.”
