And the inevitable shows up!

We all knew it would happen, but here they are... a picture sharing the Transformers Movie Burger King Promotional toys has surfaced at CYBERTON.CA.

And surprise, Megatron looks like the most detailed of them!

What is going on with the Optimus Toy?

With the doors open, tailgate down, Ironhide kinda looks like one of those "hotted" up rice burner cars with the "fully sic" stereo system pumping out crap that you see at car shows.

And I never knew Milo was in the states!

So it does... perhaps this is an Oceania Burger King Poster?

When is Canada getting the movie?

Canada is July 4th.

Man.. i wish the toys came out at Mcdonalds. It's easier to go to a Mcdonalds than a BK and for some reason their toys actually have pretty good quality.

When will these be in stores? I will want a burger king Starscream figure. Of course.

It looks like Prime is puking his robot mode out of the front of his semi.

They should have just stuck with the style of the Star Wars and Spider-man 3 Burger King toys. Little bodies and big heads that have some sort of silly gimmick. Kids meal Transformers are always terrible ... except for back in the day when McDonalds had transforming food items. Those were the days.

I think Prime and Ironhide go from vehicle form to Vehicular Combat Mode, not to robot mode.

And hey, notice how Ratchet is yellow rather than puke green?

Yeah, no doubt. Im still wondering why they didn't do it with McDonalds.

Well.. looks like I'll have to ask the shameful question of asking for a toy at a fastfood restuarant. Ah.. pitty the Transformers collector..

Possibly, our Hungry Jacks /Burger Kings do seem to get many of the same figures as the USA, only later, due to movies often being released here later than in the states. I figure that these will be out soon, if they are going to be released here, no point releasing them in 3 months time.

Im a little surprised BK has gotten them though, McDonalds had the Armada and Energon Transformers toys, and Red Rooster has had the last few Paramount/Dreamworks kids toys...

Anyone any idea if the UK and Ireland will be getting the same toys? I remember the star wars 3 promotion that BK ran and the toys were great.

Heres hoping they do the same with transformers.

CRAP! Why couldn't they be at McDonald's?! My sister could get them for free for me.

im so getting megs and starscream

by **Starscream227** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 2:08 pm

Got a friend who's a manager at a BK. This translates into a pair of each figure; One to play with, the other NRFP...

I think the best TF food toys to date have to be the Armada McDonalds toys. Not only did they transform(poorly) but each had a gimmick, as well as minicon ports, and they combined!

However, and I'm asuming this is because Hasbro is involved with all the summer blockbusters this year, BK is cleaning up this summer though.

PS, to Ryan, I beleive I still have all those Armada toys. If you wanna shoot them, I'll ship them.

I kind of want that little Skorponok...

So, in what kind of order are these toys generally distributed? Is it completely random? Or something like changing the toy every week or so? I don't want to have to eat Burger King for a month straight just to get one figure.
