Carl's Jr. Has Transformers Toys Too Now

Glad I read the whole article.. (that these are only in Mexico), because I actually went to Carl's Jr. last night for dinner, (by coincidence), and didn't see anything. Although it is pretty sad....

Although I was not a fan of TF Animated, when those Happy Meal toys came out in 2008, they were (I think) the last actually decent TF fast food toys. My kids got a few pretty good Justice League toys a couple years later, but of course Now they have aged out. Sometime before the pandemic, McDonalds had Cyberverse (non transforming) toys. I gave the Bumblebee to my friend's son who had just turned 2, so his first Transformer (that didn't actually transform), but it was ok, he just liked that it was a car.

I'm pretty confident that, even if they had those toys in the United States, I probably wouldn't have got them, Most of my friends kids are growing up so fast, well I take that back, there is one friend who had a baby last summer, but unfortunately we've only seen them on zoom.

Funny story... I actually worked at BK while I was in highschool from 1992-1994 until shortly after I graduated. (Yes I am OLD).

Personally I prefer BK to McDonalds, but unfortunately the locations around me have poor customer service and has lead them to have a bit of a seedy reputation with numerous locations closing down (I'd say McDonalds locations outnumbers BK at least 4-to-1 in Northern California).

I looked up on Wiki, and it appears Carl's Jr. has expanded into Western Canada, not sure if they are in your area though:

Carl's Jr (or as East Coast U.S. residents know it as "Hardees") has flame-broiled Burgers very similar to BK, (as opposed to fried burgers like McD's) but personally I currently like Carl's menu options a bit better than BK, although they are a bit pricier as well.

It's a shame because while I have a great nostalgia for BK as my first job, the service and questionable locations, especially during the Pandemic, at least where I live always convince me to think otherwise about going there.

Expecting Kid's meal TF toys to be any better quality and can transform nowadays is setting yourself up for disappointment I guess.

Bee's bot sculpt isn't bad. Sticker sheet is pretty packed compared to OP's. Think of it this way, you get 2 figures in one package.

OP is a disaster though. Head sculpt is wonky, legs are standing weird, proportion's all goofy.

From personal experience ... their ice cream machine is working more often. So that probably helps wash down the taste of the burger.

But, no. Big Mac is better. Always. In my opinion.
