UPDATE
~~~~~~~
Posting updates here creates a burden for AB-Nest admins because of the number of pictures and the fact that this is a sticky post. So future minor updates will be posted as a REPLY, and only major updates will be included HERE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several updates back, the silo was made much smaller (e.g. 5SR max) and the gem yields in the lab were reduced to 40% of what they once were (e.g. max of 20 gems for 3SR). All the recipes work the same to get the Energonicons, but these changes render the gem farming strategies, at the bottom of this guide, virtually unusable. Which of course was Rovio's intention.
Because the "Updating Your Progress" bug is partly caused by the number of materials, try to make SURE your game is connected to FB/GC before touching the silo, missions, or the lab. Rovio has finally implemented a stop-gap, explained HERE. There are other work-arounds posted but none of these seem to work 100% for all players.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This guide shows how to unlock all 48 (currently available) ENERGONICONS. The basic method to unlock them is:
1) Tap to enter Professor Pig's Lab under large metal pig dome.
2) Feed Professor Pig's machine 3 materials. These can any combination, all the same, all 3 different, 2 + 1, etc. There are specific combinations, discussed below, but the order does not matter.
The materials are stored in your silo:
AUTOBOT (BIRD) SIDE:
BIRDIUM (BI)
AUTOCOG (AG)
ANGER CHIP (AC)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DECEPTICON (PIG) SIDE:
PIG IRON (PI)
DECEPTIGEAR (DG)
BADNESS PROCESSOR (BP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And lastly, SUPER RAREIUM (SR)
.
3) The output of the machine is then 5 different "items", shown on the 5 little screens, including
- Coins
- Gems
- Materials
- EnergonIcons
4) You are randomly awarded one of the five. It is not known if each of the 5 have equal probability.
5) If you don't like what you got, you then may choose to "RETRY" by paying gems
- 1st retry, 5 gems
- 2nd, 10 gems
- 3rd, 20 gems
- 4th (last) try, 40 gems, the 5th item is immediately awarded
Each time you RETRY, the screen for the item you rejected, goes blank, and the next roll of the dice only includes the remaining items.
6) If you are awarded an Energonicon, it is permanent and can be used within all future levels by any bot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are the four pages of ENERGONICONS. You can view these pages as follows:
- Select a level to play
- In the "choose your energonicon" screen, tap on the small magnifying glass

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HIGH RARITY / MOST USEFUL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4 STARS:
46: GOLDSLAM - - Forge coins from Energon. (4★) = 1xBP, 1xSR, 1xAC
Use when you expect the level to have a lot buildings/trees/rocks you will need to shoot to convert back to normal, which collects Energon. It converts the Energon to gold. Each level 3 use generates 400 gold.
48: GLASSOR - - Rains Destruction from the skies! (4★) = 2xSR, 1xAC
Use especially when your bot is a "sharp-shooter" & you need a broad-coverage weapon to help destroy block towers.
45: LAVATRON - - Uses huge balls of lava to obliterate the enemy! (4★) = 1xBP, 2xSR
Hurls the same magma/fire balls as the walking towers. Not as effective as Glassor or Photoblast.
47: PIGGYBLAST - - Calls minion pigs into the fight! (4★) = 3xSR
Hurls pigs instead of magma balls. Use for a laugh, but not as effective as Glassor or Photoblast.

3 STARS:
41: HEALTHPACK - - Repairs Transformers during battle! (3★) = 1xBP, 2xAC _or_ 2xSR, 1xAG _or_ 2xSR, 1xAC
Little benefit unless charged to level 3.
42: GHOSTBOT - - Turns Transformers invisible! (3★) = 2xBP, 1xSR _or_ 1xBP, 2xSR
Seemingly little benefit even fully charged.
43: RAPIDFIRE - - Unleashes a storm of missiles! (3★) = 1xSR, 2xAC _or_ 1xBP, 1xSR, 1xAC _or_ 2xSR, 1xBI
Similar to High Octane Bumblebee.
44: PHOTOBLAST - - Unleashes rapid-fire photon beams! (3★) = 2xBP, 1xAC _or_ 3xSR
Use especially when your bot fires a broad coverage weapon & you need a sharp-shooter weapon to kill flying pigs, mortars, etc.

HONORABLE MENTION:
28: SHIELDOR - - Activates a protective energy shield. (Old default item) (2★) = (DEFAULT)
Probably the best defensive item.
05: GOLDBRICK - - Multiplies collected Coins! (1★) = 1xPI, 2xAC _or_ 1xBI, 2xAC
Very useful with high level bots that do not need supplemental offense or defense. Use when you expect the level to have a lot of the yellow/gold Energon Cubes (maximizes coins). Charged to level 1 = 2X, level 2 = 3X and level 3 = 4X.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE GEM YIELDS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO 40% OF THE PRIOR LEVEL, AND THE SILO CAPACITY IS SMALL, SO THE STRATEGIES BELOW ARE MUCH LESS EFFECTIVE !!

If you use the highest yield recipes identified above, and then if you get COINS, ALWAYS spend gems to RETRY, you get an average output as follows:
If you play around with this table, you will find it is difficult to design combinations of recipes which end up being positive, on average, for all materials. On the other hand, this method does have a positive yield for gems. For just one example, you can combine running recipe #54 once, plus recipe #34 twice, plus recipe 35 four times, and you will have an average yield from these 7 recipes, of 1xSR and 32.333 gems.
If you change your strategy, to ALWAYS reject coins, and in addition, reject gems IF you get them on the first try (unless you are purposely trying for gems with recipes 49, 80, 83), then the average yields will be:
With this strategy it is much easier to design combinations of recipes to build up all materials in your silo (except BIRDIUM and PIG-IRON, as there are no recipes that yield these items). This is done with a small cost, on average, in gems. However, you can then rebuild those gems, with recipes # 49, 80, 83.
Here are some suggestions for maximizing the lab:
- Use 76 (AC) and 78 (AG) to rebuild these two items. Net cost is only a few gems.
- Use 34 (DG) and 54 (BP). Net cost is SR and gems.
- Gems + SR: a lot of people like recipe #63 to rebuild gems and SR, but it uses BP + AC. Consider instead, using 35 for SR and 49 for gems. This alternate combo takes advantage of the fact that 35 uses DG which is easy to obtain and does not consume BP on average, and then 49 also uses DG, which again, is very easy to rebuild with 34.
Here is a comparison of the average output from these two alternate strategies. The actual number of times running each recipe is not as important as their ratios.
In addition, the condition of *your* silo and how many gems & coins you have or need, matter a lot. Clearly if you're short on gems, you'll modify the above to suit your situation. In fact, if you're short on coins and in a hurry to rebuild them you can completely redesign the above, aiming for maximum coins with the least investment in materials or time rebuilding the materials used.
