Umbrellas Engines Boxing Glove

Overview[]

A Motor is a part in Bad Piggies that is used to power Wheels, Propellers, Rotors, Fans and Yellow Umbrellas.  Currently, there are three types of motors, not counting the Ross.  Each motor has many different skins, and the most unique is the Green Motor's Alien Parts skin, which will give it an insane power output, making it stronger than a red motor (And lot lighter, since the weight doesn't change.)  However, a glitch called TESLA can make vehicles be powered while not attached to any engine.

In order to turn on the Engine you can tap on it, or the respective button. However, the Engine by itself (not attached to powered wheels/fans, etc) will not turn on, unless you actually tap itself. (This won't help at all to power the vehicle.)

Types of Engines[]

Ross (Pig)[]

Ross Pig

Activated only if vehicle has no other motors. 3 times less powerful than V2 engine.

V2 Engine (Electric Motor, Green)[]

ElectricMotor2

The slowest of the three Engines. It looks like a drill and a green box with a metal bit (piston) sticking slightly out to the left. 3 times less powerful than V4 Engine.

V4 Engine (Combustion/Gearbox Engine, Grey)[]

Gearbox1

The average speed of the three. It looks take like a square box with a chain that is similar to a bicycle rotating on the exterior. Sharp-eyed people can see the bolts on the edge of this motor. As powerful as 3 V2 engines.

V8 Engine (Red) []

V8Engine

The fastest of the three. It resembles a gleaming turbo engine with exhaust pipes sticking out to the side. The exhaust pipes give off puffs of smoke and steam. As powerful as 1 V4 engine and 2 V2 engines.

Reactor Engine (Alien)[]

Engine Alien

As of the Custom Contraptions update, the V2 Engine has an unlockable alien variation that gives it over twice the power of the V8 Engine. This is perfect for Sandbox vehicles, but it may make most Cake Race vehicles unpredictable and overpowered. Before the Alien parts were introduced, this Engine was an Epic (3-star) variant. As powerful as 4 V8 engines.

Trivia[]

  • Each of the motors resembles a real motor.
    • The V2 Engine resembles an Electric motor (external link).
    • The V4 Engine slightly resembles an Isuzu 4BA1 4-Cylinder Diesel engine.
    • The V8 Engine resembles an 8-Cylinder Cummins Turbodiesel engine.
    • The Alien Electric Engine appears to be some kind of reactor, as it makes a subtle beating noise and a low frequency hum. It doesn't resemble a real motor. Its green center resembles a readout on a pulse monitor or possibly a reactor rod, but it doesn't move.
  • The Alien motor's incredible strength can make a vehicle hard to maneuver if used in the vehicle.
  • When using Turbo Charge, Ross is as fast as the V2 Engine, the V2 Engine is as fast as the V4 Engine, V4 Engine as fast as V8 Engine, and V8 Engine as fast as the Alien Engine.
  • The Alien Electric Engine is more powerful than a V8 Engine, especially because of the great difference in weight.
  • It is also extremely quiet, being the hardest to hear out of all the motors. The only noise is makes is a subtle beating noise as well as a modem sound and pulsating beeps.
  • If a helicopter rotor is powered by the alien engine on a wooden made vehicle, it will almost always result in the rotors coming right off. (Unless super glue or the Alien Slime Egg is used)
  • Motors, Levers, and Powered wheels are often used together to create cars that can change direction.
  • Engines are quite heavy, increasing with each level.  This is problematic, especially when making large, powerful contraptions. A solution to this is a little something called Tesla.
