That's right, boys and girls, HappyMeals.com has been updated with a "Coming Soon" image depicting Movieverse Bumblebee and several Hello Kitty characters. What the toys look like remains to be seen, but the promotional image can be viewed by clicking here.

O for Pete sake :P My wife loves Hello Kitty, but we don't have any kids to use as an excuse...

Hahaha this is perfect, my girlfriend adores Hello Kitty.

Seems like an odd time to promote the movie though, doesn't it? I mean, TF2 came out over a year ago, and most of the general public is still unaware of TF3.
Too bad these are probably going to be little action figures that don't transform. I clearly remember getting the Beast Wars Happy Meal toys when I was a kid.

I loved those guys! Those were probably the last time that we actually got good Transformers Happy Meal toys. I remember getting Manta Ray, Panther, Rhino and Beetle, and as generic as they were, I thought they were great. Of the next wave I got all of them as well (there being Scorponok, Dinobot and Blackarachnia). After these and the Beast Machine toys, Happy Meal (and the Burger King) Transformers toys were pretty lackluster. Hopefully we see some more decent little Transformers out of these. Maybe I just remember them fondly cause I was a kid, but they were still definitely better than the recent offerings.

I had seen an ebay auction for the demo piece but didn't realize it was for new product. I wish I had paid closer attention.

If only I didn't swore off McDonald's because the food was both slimey and unsatisfying.

Slimey? Unsatisfying? My home this is! >_<

Hehe, sorry, but that made me think Yoda. But seriously, where the hell are you gettin your mcdonalds, dude? It's not great food by any means, but neither of those descriptives come to mind.

Yay for beast wars toys, I remember those! Definitely the best TF fast food toys they've ever done. Generic, yes, but at least they gave us new characters instead of just lame versions of ones everybody already had. Guess their thinking is kids won't order happy meals if it dosn't come with optimus or bee these days. Funny how kids went for them back then, eh?

I happen to like McD's, but you need not buy any food to get the Happy Meal toys. The last time they had them, I just asked for them and got them all at once, about a buck each.

I was worried you meant it was a Hello Kitty/TF crossover but it's TFs for the boys and Hello Kitty for girls sorta thing right?

I miss Mcdonalds food. I don't live near one anymore. In fact my town hasn't got any big name places to eat. I had all those ancient Mcdonalds toys that transformed from fries and burgers and stuff. And I still have Armada Starscream that was like a jumpstarter. I never liked Armada itself but the toy was a lil gift from a girlfriend at the time so has sentimental value and I always did find jumpstarters quite fun even if they were real basic TFs.

Ive been saying for months that most legends class figures are crappy enough to pass for happy meal toys.

Maybe the guys who brought us Mickey Prime will bring us hello kitty transformers. :-?
