EDIT: There's a quotation mark in the URL, that's why it doesn't work.

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:
http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9281&sid=

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!

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?
Re: New Red Rooster Happy Meal figures in Australia (210620)
Posted by i_amtrunks on July 9th, 2007 @ 9:57pm CDT
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.

Posted by Skowl on July 9th, 2007 @ 10:02pm CDT
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!

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.

Does that mean your store had various different figures out? Coz the Red Rooster I visited last Thursday only had Bumblebee...

Nope. Should I?

Got me Megatron last night, the figures cost $2.45 each (checked my receipt), the store had sold out of Bumblebee figures, which was a shame as I wanted another 2 or more.

Megatron has absolutely no play value at all, which is an automatic fail in my opinion for a kids meal toy. He is made out of a softer, rubbery plastic, allowing him 1-2 millimetres of movement in his limbs. He is of a comparable size to the Legends class figure.

He is a solid blue-grey colour, and comes in a clear blue plastic box that opens up to "release him. The box is made of the same kind of plastic that shatters into sharp splinters if dropped onto a hard surface.

Oddly, he has remarkable detailing for a kids meal toy, a simple black wash over him would make him look very good.

Got both Starscream and Frenzy last night, I am now missing only Prime (who has been reported as being available as well).

Starscream is easily the worst of the lot, though his colour scheme is better than his actual movie one.

Did not get much of a chance to fiddle with Frenzy, my gf was enjoying shooting the disc at me while I was driving home. The discs shoot fine btw.
