They don't seem to do transforming Transformers anymore, do they? Granted the ones they did were so absurdly simple they made the Legends class look complex by comparison, but still it was always fun getting them as a kid.

At least you have kids to use as an excuse. I'm planning on walking in and loudly proclaiming that I am there to purchase all the toys. It's going to be awkward anyway, might as well have some fun with it.

I remember those. I think my sister got a T-Rex that was gold and blue. It's been awhile, but I think it was supposed to be transmetal Dinobot.

Yeah you're right. I looked on tf wiki and that was dinobot and the other was scorponok.

The red car is Knock Out, who is the decepticon doctor, their counterpart to Ratchet. He's extremely vain and utterly unethical. Some have taken his vanity and compliments reguarding male-bots appearances to mean he's the robot equivalent of gay. He is voiced by Daran Norris.
The blue truck is Breakdown, who appeared the same time and Knock Out and has often acted as his assistant. He is the decepticon counterpart to Bulkhead, and the two are arch-enemies, often going toe to toe in knockdown drag-out brawls. He lost an eye during season one, and might possibly have a thing for Airachnid. He is voiced by Adam Baldwin

Prime looks like he may be able to do something under the hood, but it may be a weapons feature like Bulkhead.

xD
Where I got the Animated Happy Meals toys and if these guys don't transform or have a nice little feature (like the BK ones), I'm not as interested. Though I still might grab Brakedown, Bulkhead and Megatron. At $1.25 they're pretty much the same cost as matchbox cars anyway.
If Knockout didn't look so bland I'd probably have been interested.

Additional information has surfaced thanks to TFW2005.com member Bumblebee3. Megatron, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead will include a spring loaded launcher and missile. Optimus and Megatron will have lights, Optimus with red and Megatron with green. Starscream, Breakdown, Ratchet and Knockout will have flip out weapons.

Chances of these sitting in flea markets for years on end = 100%
What pieces of crap.

I remember when McDonalds toys were cool; or maybe I'm just wearing my rose-tinted glasses.

I love these little toys, even if they don't TF. I'm going to be in to McD's for a good chunk of change this time around, I'll have to get 3 sets of TFs (me, and both kids) and a set of MLPFIM for the girl.

Thinking back to my Manta Ray Happy meal figure...
http://www.tfu.info/1996/Predacon/MantaRay/mantaray.htm what a difference. I wouldn't even expect a TF like that from Mcdonalds these days... Everyone is getting cheaper.

Maybe a bit. Cause for every really cool set of toys, there was still really crappy ones.

Very true. The BW through BM promos at McDonald's had some great toys. Even the Armada promo was ok. The Cybertron promo at BK was a bit lack luster, but they still transformed. With these, they coulda even done a flip top robot mode kinda thing. That coulda been cool. Eh, what can you do?
