New 2017 Giant Kinder Surprise Egg Featuring Transformers Robots in Disguise

Posted by william-james88 Mar 9, 2017 at 10:04pm CST 43,321 views
For everyone living outside the US, Easter is synomymous with seasonal giant Kinder Surprise eggs found in all grocery and big box stores. The surprise in the eggs is usually region/country specific and while Italy had Robots in Diguise themed prizes in 2016, in 2017 it is the UK getting RID themed eggs and toys. These toys are different than the 2016 Italy ones and come with either Optimus or Bumblebee with a projectile weapon. A video of an unboxing can be found here, and screenshots were taken and copied below.
The eggs cost between £5 and £10 and Asda has them at three for £10. They have also been found at B&M by TFW member dacamper who took images of the box, which are also found below.

For those in the US wondering what this is all about and why you are specifically excluded, it's because these chocolate eggs which have a surprise inside are not FDA approved and selling them, importing them and possessing them is illegal. The potential fine is US$2,500 per egg "smuggled" into the US from neighbouring countries (ie Canada). For everyone else, and especially UK TF fans, I wish you a lot of chocolate Kinder goodness this season!

It's so odd to see my local newspaper credited on this page (Liverpool Echo) internet bleeding into reality.

Had one of these yesterday. The chocolate is nice but the figures are solid figures with no articulation. Nothing worth getting excited about.

Trasformatori : Robot in maschera ?

Or you could say 'travestimento' but I thought that sounded to kinky for a kids line.

No, the brand is Transformers where Hasbro is concerned.
Same for Robots in Disguise. We just get extra subtitles/sub-headings.

Long gone are the days of unnecessary brand translation. And boy am I glad.
*glares at the leader of the Maximals Blackjack, from the Biocombat series*

Maschera and travestimento mean more or less the same thing (the former can also be for mask specifically), and the latter has nothing to do with what you're suggesting it might mean. :)

I WAS JOKING ( Just saying)


But actually it does seem to mean exactly what I was joking about it meaning*; Trans-vestments to change or Transform clothing - the implication in English is with gender bending *(Transvestism) - but the Italian word means the literally the same to 'change vestments' (clothes) it's just the implication is one of disguise and not implicitly cross-dressing.

If however it could be used to imply that* I'd have to leave to native Italian speakers to judge.

It's not always easy to say as some words are words that sound "Foreign" but are not ones that would be understood to have any recognisable meaning in said place - for example 'Decolletage' is meaningless to most French people. or it means "Screw Cutting" - not at all what the English word means.

Nah, that's just etymology, not meaning. :)

And I am native Italian (and English), it would never work in that sense. Trust me.

Just goes to show how different the old Legends (now Legion) Class is from the new Legends Class. ;)

When we got all the Beast wars toys in the UK they had Bio-combat being the main logos all the time. But seeing it's got local text on that should TF RID be in the text too. Japan do have Transformers in english then they have masterforce or super god form warriors in japan text.
