Your favorite characters from Transformers Robots In Disguise are coming to McDonalds as Happy Meal toys. You can get Bumblebee, Fixit, Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Fracture, Sideswipe, Clampdown and Underbite. For the girls there is another Hasbro property which is running along side the Robots in Disguise toys in the form of My Little Pony. There is no mention of when these promotions will start.

They look okay, but... *sigh* Remember when fast food promotion Transformers toys used to transform?

Remember when the toys on store shelves used to look a lot better than happy meal toys?.. Now they're just as bad.

Bummer.

Someone's upset.

Also, notice the lack of Strongarm in this? No girls allowed among boy's toys, apparently.

I thought Fracture was Megatron for a second

No thanks, Haven't eaten at McDonalds in over Fifteen years. Don't know what's in that Mystery Hamburger patty meat. Guessing it didn't come from a cow.

Not prepared to ruin my body eating at McDonalds. just to get throw away garbage low budget Happy meal Transformers toys.

As someone who has family who works there and myself actually knowing about some of the process of making their burgers I'm horribly offended that people believe in the bullcrap conspiracy theories just because it makes people fat.




Granted I barley eat their food due to hating paying high prices for fast food in general since I live on Pizza pockets, Noodles and vegetables due to being cheaper I still think that McDonalds is a decent thing to have once in awhile.

The McDonalds Food is made at the factories. Then put into boxes or bags and shipped out the the individual McDonalds restaurants. So, No, The restaurant employees or restaurant managers who works at McDonalds restauants do not know what the food is made out of. Their restaurant jobs is to cook the food, Serve it, clean up the restaurant, work the register, Watch over other employees.

The McDonalds Restaurant employees and Restaurant managers are not butchers. They do not get the entire dead animals at the individual restaurants, cut it up and grind it into patty meat or nuggets meat. So yes, To restuarant employees and Restaurant managers, What animal and what byproducts are used is a mystery.

and once again they dont transform

I always LOVE the TF/Pony month at McDonald. Because the only Happy Meal toys that I care about come at the same time so it's easy to grab a lot in one go.

Transformation mean a figure that would cost more than 2$. But they do have a silly gimmick instead. So, yeah, removing the gimmick and putting in transformation instead IS possible. They did HM TFs that had very simple one step transformation in the past. Beast Wars, Armada, and Animated all converted, herp derp look be damned.

Triple post. Sue me.

Anyway, I don't give a single fawk about the fact that Mc Donal food come from factories. ALL PROCESSED FOOD COME FROM FACTORIES! If you don't wanna eat McDo because of the "scary mystery processing", then you should eliminate ALL processed food from your diet. Prepare to pay double and to have trouble cooking by yourself all the pure and raw meat, fruits, vegetable, FRESH herbs, ect. Everything that come in a can or a bottle? Banned. Anything pre-frozen? Banned. And so many, many more things. No cookies, no chocolate, no candy, no cereals, no peanut butter, no bread, no everything.
That's a challenge for sure. Good luck.

Saying you don't eat McDo because of how it's made is pretentious and hypocritical. Saying you don't eat McDo because you just don't like it is honest and prefectly okay. Beside, no need to eat anything. You can buy just the toys themselves without any food in any McDo.

If you kids want to talk about what goes into processed food, take it to another thread and leave this one about the wittle Macca's toys.

I remember the McD's running out of those Transformers, and having to give us Play-Doh or something... like an apology. The only other times that happened (that I remember) were mega-popular items like Pokemon.

Yikes, I can't tell who the brown one and purple robot are suppose to be...

The brown one is Clampdown the crab, the purple humanoid one is Fracture.

Thanks. I see it, now

Yeah, I miss those days.

I know, right? If we're ditching someone, why not Fixit? Strongarm is involved in the action, Fixit just hangs out at base and is annoying.

Nah, keep Fixit, ditch Optimus. Dude's dead, anyway.

I wonder when we'll get actual transforming toys in kids meals again

You think they'd do anything without Optimus? Good luck.

Also, I've only sen the first two episodes and I'm already predicting Fixit is the new Wheelie.

I was going to respond to this with something about the show...

But then I saw this:

And that explains why the first part was written the way it was.

I dont miss those days since I hated those toys as a kid. What I hated most was how they werent even accurate in any way. They gave me no pla value and their transformations was way too simplistic leaving a poor robot mode. At least these look fine, I have no problems with this. I also find it funny how Grimlock is the only one, once again, not in robot mode. Also not having steeljaw there is quite a surprise.
