Since the beginning of the Mc Donald's promotions for Transformers Animated toys that would be included with the childrens meals, we've seen an array of different figures released all over the globe. And its not over yet.

Mc Donald's Restaurants in France are running the promotion as well, with toys that resemble those released in the US, but apparently with better paint applications. Oh, and Blitzwing!

No pictures are on the website yet of alt modes, but it appears that Optimus Prime, Megatrton, Bumblebee and Blitzwing will be available for lucky French kids very soon.

Check out the images of them by clicking here

McDonalds in the US needs to hire the French crew to paint. :grin:

My French isn't all it could be but from the fine print I think this promo started last week so they should be available now. Shame that my brother isn't planning a booze and ciggies run across the Channel any time soon. Wonder if the UK arm of the chain will be getting these at any stage.

We got three of those toys in Australia last month, with Ratchet replacing Blitzwing (with nowhere near as much paint apps as these guys), so surely the UK should get them at some stage too right?

Curious on if Blitzwing will have one or two alf modes... It looks like just the tank.

I'm wondering the same thing. :-?

I think his chest might swing up to form a cockpit. But I don't see any wings.

I understand your point, but McDonalds doesn't paint these figures themselves. They come from a factory, probably in China, and they're probably identical to the ones we got in the U.S.

Here are pics of the alt form: http://tformers.com/transformers-tranformers-animated-happy-meal-blitzwing/10409/news.html

Hi.
I'm french, and got my happy meal today - with Bumblebee.
Blitzwing does not have a second alt mode, he's just a tank.
I'll try to get him next time, and might take pics for you all.
Seeya !
