Transformers Robots in Disguise and My Little Pony Coming to a Happy Meal Near You

They look okay, but... *sigh* Remember when fast food promotion Transformers toys used to transform?

Remember when the toys on store shelves used to look a lot better than happy meal toys?.. Now they're just as bad.

Bummer.

Someone's upset.

Also, notice the lack of Strongarm in this? No girls allowed among boy's toys, apparently.

I thought Fracture was Megatron for a second

No thanks, Haven't eaten at McDonalds in over Fifteen years. Don't know what's in that Mystery Hamburger patty meat. Guessing it didn't come from a cow.

Not prepared to ruin my body eating at McDonalds. just to get throw away garbage low budget Happy meal Transformers toys.

You really like to exaggerate on here and Tfw2005 don't ya Tim?

As someone who has family who works there and myself actually knowing about some of the process of making their burgers I'm horribly offended that people believe in the bullcrap conspiracy theories just because it makes people fat.




Granted I barley eat their food due to hating paying high prices for fast food in general since I live on Pizza pockets, Noodles and vegetables due to being cheaper I still think that McDonalds is a decent thing to have once in awhile.

The McDonalds Food is made at the factories. Then put into boxes or bags and shipped out the the individual McDonalds restaurants. So, No, The restaurant employees or restaurant managers who works at McDonalds restauants do not know what the food is made out of. Their restaurant jobs is to cook the food, Serve it, clean up the restaurant, work the register, Watch over other employees.

The McDonalds Restaurant employees and Restaurant managers are not butchers. They do not get the entire dead animals at the individual restaurants, cut it up and grind it into patty meat or nuggets meat. So yes, To restuarant employees and Restaurant managers, What animal and what byproducts are used is a mystery.

and once again they dont transform

I always LOVE the TF/Pony month at McDonald. Because the only Happy Meal toys that I care about come at the same time so it's easy to grab a lot in one go.

Transformation mean a figure that would cost more than 2$. But they do have a silly gimmick instead. So, yeah, removing the gimmick and putting in transformation instead IS possible. They did HM TFs that had very simple one step transformation in the past. Beast Wars, Armada, and Animated all converted, herp derp look be damned.

Triple post. Sue me.

Anyway, I don't give a single fawk about the fact that Mc Donal food come from factories. ALL PROCESSED FOOD COME FROM FACTORIES! If you don't wanna eat McDo because of the "scary mystery processing", then you should eliminate ALL processed food from your diet. Prepare to pay double and to have trouble cooking by yourself all the pure and raw meat, fruits, vegetable, FRESH herbs, ect. Everything that come in a can or a bottle? Banned. Anything pre-frozen? Banned. And so many, many more things. No cookies, no chocolate, no candy, no cereals, no peanut butter, no bread, no everything.
That's a challenge for sure. Good luck.

Saying you don't eat McDo because of how it's made is pretentious and hypocritical. Saying you don't eat McDo because you just don't like it is honest and prefectly okay. Beside, no need to eat anything. You can buy just the toys themselves without any food in any McDo.

If you kids want to talk about what goes into processed food, take it to another thread and leave this one about the wittle Macca's toys.

I remember the McD's running out of those Transformers, and having to give us Play-Doh or something... like an apology. The only other times that happened (that I remember) were mega-popular items like Pokemon.

Yikes, I can't tell who the brown one and purple robot are suppose to be...

MartianSpyGirl1996 wrote:Yikes, I can't tell who the brown one and purple robot are suppose to be...

The brown one is Clampdown the crab, the purple humanoid one is Fracture.

Thanks. I see it, now

Sabrblade wrote:They look okay, but... *sigh* Remember when fast food promotion Transformers toys used to transform?

Yeah, I miss those days.

Sabrblade wrote:Also, notice the lack of Strongarm in this? No girls allowed among boy's toys, apparently.

I know, right? If we're ditching someone, why not Fixit? Strongarm is involved in the action, Fixit just hangs out at base and is annoying.

Nah, keep Fixit, ditch Optimus. Dude's dead, anyway.

I wonder when we'll get actual transforming toys in kids meals again

You think they'd do anything without Optimus? Good luck.

Also, I've only sen the first two episodes and I'm already predicting Fixit is the new Wheelie.

I was going to respond to this with something about the show...

But then I saw this:

And that explains why the first part was written the way it was.

I dont miss those days since I hated those toys as a kid. What I hated most was how they werent even accurate in any way. They gave me no pla value and their transformations was way too simplistic leaving a poor robot mode. At least these look fine, I have no problems with this. I also find it funny how Grimlock is the only one, once again, not in robot mode. Also not having steeljaw there is quite a surprise.

And to all those who diss McDonald's, I just keep hearing this:

To which line are you referring? The Beast Wars ones were brand new characters, the Beast Wars Transmetals ones were Transmetal versions of those who didn't have proper Transmetal toys, and the Beast Machines ones were all very show-accurate (save for Optimus's and Nightscream's colors).

I was referring to the beast wars stuff. You dont have to find logic to this one, I am just remembering it the way I saw them as a kid. They were either not in the show or looked weird and that was enough for me to dislike them.

I liked the tiny, simplistic promotional toys... great for fiddling, especially when it came with food. Blackarachnia entertained me a great deal as a kid, especially since her other figures (before Beast Machines) were so elusive

Weird as hell, but still a lot more interesting than a board game token.

That's silly, but an opinion I'm sure the general public shared. I prefered getting those TransMetal figures, since Dinobot and Scorponok would have turned if not for their circumstances, and Rattrap and Cheetor thought BA did turn, so it's an interesting "What-If" IMHO

My mind set thinking is. Why pay almost $10 at MCDonalds for a bigmac, extra large fries and extra large soda. When I could spend the same $10 for a burger and fries at higher class restaurant like Applebees, Friendly's or Red Robin.

It's no secret MCDonalds is in the news all the time. McDonalds stores around America, some of them fail health inspections. Their patty and nugget meat nobody knows what animal it comes from.

Sorry for not feeling safe for eating at a low class restaurant like MCDonalds.

Could care less about the oil grease fries and grease on the burgers at MCDonalds. All i'm after is a burger that has meat that comes from a cow. Chicken nuggets with meat from a Chicken. A clean back cooking area. Clean eating area and clean bathrooms. Since some MCDonalds fail so many health inspections and nobody knows what animal they use in their meats. Do not feel comfortable eating at their MC restaurants.

Like I said above Applebees, Frendlys, Outtback, Longhorn and Red Robin offer the same food as Mcdonalds for a same price. If speed is your thing, Then call in your order and pick it up on the take out side.

Need quality food and a sanitary restaurant I can trust. MCdonalds is not it.

The higher quality restaurants like Red Robin, Applebees, Longhorn, Outtback and Friendly's. Fail far less health inspections and quality food taste test than McDonalds does.

I meant plastic-wise. I'm well aware they can do a show that doesn't lean on Optimus, and in fact would like to point out that Rescue Bots has also had the big guy as strictly supporting cast...

And oddly, this helps illustrate the point I actually meant to make (rather than the one I looked like I meant), since Optimus probably has more toys of him in the Rescue Bots toyline than episodes of the Rescue Bots cartoon in which he appears. And Bumblebee's ratio is even more skewed, he has nearly as many toys as Optimus, but only appears about once or twice a season. But they're the famous names, so they tend to get preferential treatment over, for example, Boulder. Or, in this case, Strongarm.

And since Steeljaw is meant to be the Decepticon leader for this series, he seems like another glaring omission. And not squeezed out by bigger names this time, so what's going on with that?

Also, is there some reason I should expect to not hate Fixit after all?

This post has nothing to do with the original topic. Thanks for ignoring my earlier request.

Oh yeah. Where is Steeljaw? He is kind of important.

Nemesis Primal wrote:Also, is there some reason I should expect to not hate Fixit after all?

He's useful enough and a dependable character? And not really annoying since he's downplayed a lot?

I watch the show with my Gf when we just want to have a quick break. Our favourite is fixit, he's very fun. Imagine waspinator as a good guy.

Fixit remind me of Spike from MLP. He's a cute character that everyone treat like some sort of second rate minion...


until he save the day:


Or become the major treat:


Let's stay tuned and find out!

As an aside, it's kinda sad that Australia's already aired the first 13 episodes (which several of us here, myself included, have already watched) before Cartoon Network in the U.S. has even gotten past the second episode.

Only minus the "getting blown up all the time" and "constantly failing" bits.

...which frankly doesn't leave much left to compare him to Waspinator.

He's clumsy and not too bright but in a very endearing way, that's what I meant. It's what I felt and it doesnt need to add up. He's a fun and innocent character that's hard to hate, least of all find annoying.

TF toys that don't transform make me a sad panda. I wouldn't even expect Happy Meals toys to transform, except that they've done it before (more than once: Beast Wars and Animated) so there's precedent.

They are tricky to find, good thing Sabreblade's on our side. They are in this thread, you'll have to sift through it.

You should try to find her! Fantastic figure. Too bad she wasn't repainted for the Animated line at McD's...

The new transformer happy meal inspired me to make a stop motion animation about it. I hope you enjoy!

Seiebrtron's very own superstar, jON 3.0, has informed us that the Transformers Robots in Disguise toys are now at McDonalds. He even snapped a picture to show us.
The toys that will be made available throughout this month long campaign are Bumblebee, Fixit, Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Fracture, Sideswipe, Clampdown and Underbite.

You know, if Legion Fixit is too small and 1-Step Fixit too big, McFixit might be just the right size to go with the Warrior figures.
