**Bird vs. Machine** is the 25th episode of the 4th Season in The Angry Birds Show and is the 175th episode overall. This episode introduces us to Robo-Bird.

## Synopsis

Matilda accidentally creates a mechanical copy of Red who threatens to replace him as the official leader of the Angry Birds, and by extension, kill them all!

## Plot

### The creation

In the attic, Matilda and Red are cleaning in the attic since they haven't cleaned it out in years. However, when Matilda begins to sneeze because of the amount of dust, she unintentionally blows away a huge majority of the dust in the room. However, Red has been unexpectedly been blown out of the attic because of Matilda sneezing and has been locked out. As she tries to find a key to get out, Matilda stumbles upon a blueprint from Red for creating a robot Pig to train on fighting the Pigs to improve his skills. However, Matilda, who notices it's Pig body, gets flashbacks to when they fought robot pigs and met Terence.

Scared, Matilda throws the blueprint away, and it floats over to the cloning machine used to create Captilda. The blueprint hits the switch, floats into the machine, and it gets cloned into a robot version of Red, whose eyes begin to glow red. Afterwards, Matilda, not noticing Robo-Bird's creation, finds the key and leaves the attic, and Robo-Bird follows after her, entering a cloaking ability to not be seen.

### Robo-Bird's takeover

The next day, Red wakes up to see himself hanging outside the door, and finds Robo-Bird sleeping in his bed. When he enters the living room, however, he notices that Robo-Bird has taken on a cloak form of Red himself, and the others clearly don't know it because he disguised his voice to keep his cover. Soon, after Red starts to see that this copycat is attempting to steal his life, He attempts to get their attention, only for them to freak out over 2 Reds and swat the real Red out of their sight.

Angered and upset at the same time, Red forces himself in the dirt and sobs over being replaced as night falls. Afterwards, Red decides enough is enough and goes to face this copycat himself. However, he sees that Robo-Bird has stolen the souls of everyone else. Red is horrified, and Robo-Bird turns to face him. Robo-Bird reveals that he threatens to turn the souls of his friends into soulless machines while their bodies remain as lifeless corpses. Enraged over his dead friends, Red fights him, as Robo-Bird proclaims his new objective: Ô̳̮̐̔̋͘B̺̰̦͕ͭ͞ͅL̨̥͔͈͎͈̗͖̘͆̑͛ͯI̶̟̣̞͔̦͙̙̐T̖̰̥̤̒͒̽͗͠ͅEͫ͏̰̲R͇͈͇̪̮̮͌̀̓ͧ͘A͓̭̳͖͎͂̎ͥ͞T̯̦̲͉̳̹̬̙͛̇͟E̶̮̰̖͖͐̋̊͌.

### The end of Robo-Bird

As Red and Robo-Bird continue fighting, Red, in pure rage, entering a fury form where his battle cries are now empowered shockwaves and form into powerful orbs, gins the upper hand and grabs Robo-Bird, and ultimately throws him at the cloning machine and he smashes as he releases the souls of the others. As the others regain life, they apologize to Red for not believing him about the robot. Red forgives them, but as punishment, he attacks them all in his new fury form, ending the episode.
