That optimus vehicle toy sucks so damn hard! They mold in the fact that its just his legs in the back on a non trasforming toy :BANG_HEAD:

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.

Probably the size limitations of the bag.

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.

I did love them. Armada, Animated. I have a few of each and they were fun.

I'm getting lots of LOLs from these comments. They're damn happy meal kids for toys, leave them be...

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.

I never got the Beast machines ones. didn't eat McD's then, nor was I into transformers then

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.

You said Slipstream and I was looking for a female Starscream for a second.

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.

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:

WTF armada....that's just funny :lol:

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

For a moment there, I thought these toys actually did transform

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.
