I'll tell you one thing now, I'm after Thunderhoof. He's my favorite.

I have no clue why they shrunk Prime's truck mode.

Amen to that! I disliked most things about TFA, but by golly, their Happy meal toys at least Transformed! Again, my son will probably get a couple of these on a whim, and I have to relive my own childhood pain of Action Masters all over again.

Remember the Beast Machines ones? Some of those matched the show better than the stuff that was actually on shelves.

The Animated ones were pretty decent figures for what they were, and the silly little gimmicks in the Armada ones could be fun (Demolishor's arm in particular).

...The Cybertron toys from Burger King are harder to say nice things about.

The robot modes look like they belong on an Attacktix.

I'm not the only one who very clearly sees Slipstream's face in Prime's projectile, right? Are they supposed to be shooting out Mini-cons, and if so, why is it only his face? Unless Prime just has a thing for faces in this universe now too, that's bizarre.

Thats ok, you could have also gotten some of them if you went to the Red Rooster restaurant chain in Australia, where they had a bunch of them in different colours:

haha. I had the big mac and the fries! They were fun in their goofiness and not being based on any TF character you had a far better figure of already.

Come to think of it I've still got the Transformers Armada Starscream 'jumpstarter' somewhere. Wasn't into Armada at all but was given it by my then girlfriend so it has sentimental value.

Never forget the Armada Happy Meal COMBINERS yes this is a real mode for these toys this is a thing that happened.

Original image source: http://www.tfu.info/2002/Autobot/McHotShot/hotshot.htm, this one is a mirror and not hotlinked.

The vehicle combiner is actually a pretty cool idea! The Autobot one, well, they tried? Technically a bit mistransformed in these pictures, but honestly, getting it to even stand is so hard I wouldn't be fussed to photograph them meticulously either :lol:

Ain't like Hasbro have never mistransformed the proper TF figures for stock and packaging photos anyways.

Transformers Cybertron to me sort of count because they transformed, although Burger King sold them. If you lived in the UK, you could get transformable ones of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Megatron,& Unicron from Transformers Energon.

Are you a Transformers Fan? Are you in Malaysia? Fancy a Big Mac? Well, lucky you, because McDonald's Malaysia's happy meals now come with Transformers: Robots In Disguise toys!

These small, non-transforming figures were released before in Austrailia, but have yet to see a US release.

Check out the photos below from Twitter user Syed Mazlan.

And I also wanna see if I can eat a kid's burger in one bite...

If the upcoming Happy Meal Transformers don't transform, that sucks; and I'm not going to waste my money on them. It was better when Wendy's was releasing those Gobots.
God bless, Jason Scott Irelan

They're going for about $10 on eBay right now (including free international shipping). That's not too bad a deal if you don't want to wait.

If you are in the mood for a bite to eat and a fun toy, McDonalds is soon going to have some new happy meal toys. Of course you will notice they are currently giving away Ninjago toys so you will need to select 'Next Happy Meal' to see the new toys. Once again we have saved you the trouble by posting a picture of the new toys and masks below. We will keep you posted as these start hitting McD's stores.

We now know what the Happy Meal boxes will look like. We can see that they feature a Transformers themed game and a picture of Bumblebee on the front. The other set of toys available now are My Little Pony. Currently we do not have any in hand photographs of the Transformers Happy Meal toys, but we do have product images of what they will look like in this article.

Looks like Prime's shrooms just hit hard. I have no clue what's up with that face he's making but it freaks me out and looks completely out of place for his character.

I'm amused that Grimlock is so grumpy on the box when he's usually pretty happy in the show. I know he's a tough guy but he's got a lot of kid-appeal when he's his happy self. If anyone would be grumpy on that box I think it would be Strongarm haha.

This picture of the new McDonald's Happy Meal RiD Happy Meal toys was snapped at the McDonald's in Kingsgate, WA. Here we can see all of the toys and masks in the display case. We can see Bumblebee, Grimlock and Strongarm have masks too but only the Optimus Mask fit into the display case.

Guys... I do get that we should criticise things we get rather than just accept everything at face value. I really, really do. Criticism is a wonderful tool that allows us to analyse media and merchandise and give a voice to what we find wrong with that media and merchandise. It allows our voices to be heard so that we may get better material and that certain negative aspects can vanish altogether.

But these are fucking McDonalds Happy Meal toys.

Why does RiD promo art always have Bumblebee pointing at stuff?

And I don't know about anyone else, but I go to McDonalds for burgers and fries. If I want thin, tepid milk and brown, mushy apple slices I can get them easier and cheaper at home....

It's a lame attempt at being "healthy". I never understood it either. If you are going to McD's you are not going there for health food. Plus the idea of milk and a burger is just *barf* :SICK:

Dude, language.

They're just happy meal toys, of course they're going to be crap. It's fun to talk down to them. also their not as good as the first McTransformers that came out in the 80's, those ones were interesting and actually transformed "oh my god, I'm a happy meal G1'er!"

Anyone else bothered by the fact that the My Little Pony toys seem to look way better, especially where being show-accurate is concerned? I realize we're talkin' Happy Meals here, but if they ain't gonna transform you'd think they could get the looks right, or at least use the right colors in the right places. #-o
