There are five figures total, Optimus Prime, Starscream, Frenzy, Bumblebee, and Megatron.

The link's dead, I can't see the image...
EDIT: There's a quotation mark in the URL, that's why it doesn't work.

Just take the %22 off the end and you'll see it...

Wow... those look way better than the Burger King toys!

If they transform then we got fraked. The BK toys suck.

Oooh, that does look nice.
I think I might have to go hassle the nearest Red Rooster to let me buy a set or two.

I have to ask from your sig pick, do all TransFans have facial hair to compensate for lack of jawlines or are we just to lazy to shave?

I know I fall into both options.

Bumbled already made a thread regarding these products:

It includes pics of Bumblebee. The Bumblebee toy is his robot mode (which is fairly detailed) which sits inside his alt mode (which has a pull back action) pretty good for $2.

Wow, these look cool. As luck would have it, I actually picked up some of the BK toys last night. They're cute, but they're wasted potential definately.

These are much cuter, I wonder what the rest of them do? Still no images of the rest of the set?

T wonder how I would go about getting my hands on these...

The only images I have seen of the other toys are on the posters inside of the Red Rooster stores. Pretty much is a pic of the 5 figures available, plus in the bottom right hand corner is a pic of the DS games, a DS lite and Comp details to win aforementioned DS stuff.

Megatron is a figure inside a clear shell, meant to be him in Ice, Starscream "Transforms" (pull his legs and arms out, thats it), frenzy shoots discs from his alt mode, and I think Optimus is much the same as Bumblebee.

Ebay, wait a few weeks though. There are always ebay sellers flogging off the fast food toys. You'll have to visit ebay.au though.

Or maybe a very nice Australian Transformer fan could pick some up for me and send them over...

I got the Bumblebee toy today. It's so cute! Really, I'm serious. The car mode's not too bad for a really cheap toy, either. Robot mode's nothing to write home about, but it's a nice bonus (heck, in way, you get two Bumblebees for the price of one!).

Yeah, I'll have to try to get the rest in this range if possible. I'm mainly a Bumblebee collector, but a bit of variety is good when they're so cheap.

Okay, apparently Megatron will be available from Wednesday this week.

He is a robot mode version of himself inside a clear plastic container, not sure if he has any other gimmicks. Dont fret if you missed out on the Bee-ster, they might have some extra's left over!

by **nintendofreakgcn** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 9:32 pm

Sweet, I'll probably pick up Megs on Saturday, then. By the way, does anyone know roughly how often they're changing toys in this range?

News Credits: 972 · by **i_amtrunks** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 9:57 pm

I think I was charged $2.50 for Bumblebee, but Im not certain as I also purchased some food.

Considering its $2 or more for other fast food outlets toys, these are easily worth a tad extra.

News Credits: 665 · by **Skowl** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 10:02 pm

Any chance we could get some photos of the complete set? I looked on Ebay.com.au like you said, but they got nothing.

If they look good, I might try to get a friendly Aussie on the board to pick up a couple and send them over...

Wow. Burger King's toys pale in comparison. And they denied Prime a Whopper.

BK, you suck!

ANyone in Australia willing to locate me the Starscream figure?

by **Fizzer** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 11:23 pm

Most red rooster stores sold out of all figures here where i am and had to walk and extra 20 mins, to another store that had only 4 left
which was megatron ( so i got him for my troubles ) and not getting anymore till friday and the dude that worked there said Bumblebee was the most sold.

They wont be up for a while to come yet, we aren't even into week 2 of the series, there is barely any noise in the media about them, and Red Rooster is not at all that popular for kids meals.

I wouldn't have even known about them if it weren't for this thread.
