Been out since Monday out my way. My son got Prime and Megatron. Kinda lame, seeing as they don't transform. Don't know why they stopped having Happy Meal toys transform.

Thinking back to my Manta Ray Happy meal figure...

I remember when McDonalds toys were cool; or maybe I'm just wearing my rose-tinted glasses.

Maybe a bit. Cause for every really cool set of toys, there was still really crappy ones.

See, if they were really smart, they could have somehow introduced the Botshots (more obscure characters) into the happymeal toys, effectively snagging some long-term buyers who will want more after the line stops at McDs.

Sweet! Now, how am I going to convince the guys at MacDonald's that I'm a girl? :-?

I work at a McDonalds, and we got our toys yesterday. We're starting with Starscream and Bumblebee...at least those are the ones I saw in the toy shelf.

Very true. The BW through BM promos at McDonald's had some great toys. Even the Armada promo was ok. The Cybertron promo at BK was a bit lack luster, but they still transformed. With these, they coulda even done a flip top robot mode kinda thing. That coulda been cool. Eh, what can you do?

There are actually a couple of these that I wouldn't mind getting just for sh** & giggles but my kids are too old for happy meals (would take 3 meals each to fill them up now and that's freaking expensive) and I don't eat fast food anymore so I don't go to burger joints if I have any choice in the matter. I'll give it 6 months and then hit the discount store. I'll find them bagged up with old hot-wheels and get them for cheaper than a Happy Meal costs.
