While the later non-transforming toys were lame in comparison to what came before, I’d argue they’re still better than the cardboard figures they have now.

[@josiaharaki7310]

You could pretty easily make a part two given how many more obscure ones there are. Summarizing TFWiki, some of the ones you missed are: St. Louis Mcdonalds had an exclusive test run of non-transforming versions of the minibots for G1. Dairy Queen had some sort of Generation 2 line that included an Optimus, but has no pictures of what it looked like Checkers/Rallys had a Rhinox toy as the Transformers representative for a line of assorted Hasbro toys. Red Rooster, an Australian restaurant, had 4 alternate colors each of 4 of the Mcdonalds BM toys. Jolibee had a beast machines toyline, which TFWiki notes was inexplicably released just short of a decade after the show stopped airing. European McDonalds and Latin America both had exclusive lines for Transformers Energon. (The European version even had a Unicron) Jolibee once again did a line for Cybertron, apparently based on the "Legends of Cybertron" Legends scale of the time, but with reduced articulation points. Red Rooster had toylines for the first two Bayverse movies. Jolibee did similar, once again, gutted versions of the legends figures. Southeast Asian KFCs had toys for the second and third films. Brazil, Mexico, and Venuzuela had exclusive Animated happy meal toys using the flip changers concept. Japanese Mcdonalds had a Transformers Prime line, fusing the classic "Mcdonalds food turns into robot" concept with official transformers.

4:04 ERM... ACTUALLY...☝🤓 blackarachnia receieve a transmetal form on the cartoon, and dinobot was DEAD. But a clone of him was made by megatron. His toy was sold as transmetal dinobot.

[@kubanasal6722]

To 'ERM... ACTUALLY' your erm actually, Blackarachnia and Dinobot received 'Transmetal II' forms, which are different than a Transmetal as TM forms have an organic robot with a robotic beast mode, while TM2 designs have both modes being a blend of organic and mechanical.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

​@@kubanasal6722 to ERM, ACTUALLY your ERM, ACTUALLY of OPs ERM, ACTUALLY, Transmetals also have a "vehicle" or "transport" mode while most* Transmetal 2s do not. *Transmetal 2 Megatron had a lame vehicle mode of laying down and having wheels pop out of his dragon mode arms and legs, which were omitted from the cartoon and Legacy figure.

[@eviltom17]

I had all of the 1990 wave changeables, sadly, don't remember having any of the earlier waves. I was born in '86, so that most likely played a part in that. My parents probably considered me too young for the earlier waves. I had two of the Beast Wars ones, the Manta and Jaguar. After that, didn't get much more McDonald's Happy Meals.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

86 representing! I had some of the earlier ones when they got rerelease in 1990, before they switched to dinosaurs.

[@lockout5731]

the transformers armada mc Donald's set still brings nostalgia to me starscream strikes again to make me happy

[@KeelhaulKenny]

We need a Grimace Shake transformer toy

[@longtsun8286]

Hasbro and McDonald's should do a Transformers Collaborative in which Optimus Prime is a Big Mac with retractable wheels, so he can tow a Combat Deck (the trailer) that transforms into the Happy Meal box, and Roller (the six-wheel ATV that came with the 'Generation One' toy) transforming into a fountain drink cup.

[@DarkOverlord96]

I had to double check because I didn't see any of the Transformers McDonald's toys I owned as a kid and it turns out the ones I owned were only sold in South America, specifically Energon Optimus Prime, Megatron, Inferno and Demolishor.

[@kurokimobile3932]

I HAVE CHUNKY BUMBLEBEE

[@nicholascooney]

Oh boy, a second chance to get a heart from dumbjake for my comment! I think the McDonald's Changeables are really cool because they are a novel way of preserving the McDonald's packaging of that era. I had some of the Animated Happy Meal toys. I hated Ratchet's human-looking muscle arms and how the commercial used the Bayformers logo.

[@callump1996]

In 2004, the UK McDonalds did a range of Transformers Energon Happy Meal Toys. What made this rage so infamous was one of the characters who got picked to get a toy was none other than the Chaos Bringer himself, Uncrion! This was pretty nuts as a couple of years before this, Unicron had close to ZERO figures out at retail, with only the Armada figure and the then black repaint only being out for a short time before this. It seems the glory days are long gone of little kids getting good Transformer Happy Meals Toys, let alone getting a Happy Meal Toy of The Transformers version of The Devil/H.P Lovecraft.

[@GOWONSKIE]

So in 2007 Jolibee (A fast food restaurant in the philippines ) released 4 figures that are just Upscaled legend class figures of Optimus,Megatron,Barricade and Bumblebee

Surprised you didn’t mention McDonald’s limited run of non-transforming Movie toys, because even if they couldn’t transform, those figures SLAPPED.

[@imalltheragex2000]

3:42 I remember playing with a beetle transformers toy just like that... I just don't remember if it was one of the toys from the toy corner for kids at a restaurant I went to, or one I actually owned 6:23 I also remember playing with that Megatron toy... But without the tank stuff attached to his back 10:46 I 100% know guaranteed I own/owned that bumblebee figure

[@braydenmoore3685]

Loved this video, I was obsessed with these as a kid every time there was a new set. The only thing missing was the hunt for the Decepticons wave from McDonald’s. They didn’t transform, but were highly detailed robot mode figures that I think hold up pretty well.

[@MrJaxman97]

Great content! One of my favorite new KZbin discoveries!

[@smashmaster12]

I recently found that Armada Optimus at a flea market, I have him at my desk. He’s a surprisingly great toy for being so old and from McDonald’s!

[@reintherat]

Justice for jake

[@juagguproductions9713]

That Blitzwing is a cool little dude! I randomly found one in a second hand toy store, in England!

[@JamesLawner]

I vaguely recall having the ambulance transformer from the ‘07 line, but I do remember getting Bumblebee and The Fallen from the ROTF line. Also, I think I only ever got Starscream from the Animated line, and I liked its regular form more than when it was transformed, but boy, that Optimus Prime one looked great for a Happy Meal toy.

[@dustinthewind357]

I also have core memories of that Megatron toy! It was one of those toys that somehow lasted through my whole childhood

[@Quantum_Magnus]

My goodness, I had no idea that my tiny Armada Megatron was from a Happy Meal O_o I’m 23 and my parents must’ve gotten me a happy meal waaay back when and for all this time, I didn’t know where it came from. Neither did my parents lol.

[@ReviewTheCrew]

I remember loving the Armada set specifically because of the minicon ports and being able to use them with the premium figures.

[@albertorodrigomolinasortiz471]

My geographic location (where the devil lost his poncho, or whatever other idiom you know to describe a distant place) has allowed me to get some of the OTHER Transformers Animated happy meal toy collection. The one exclusive to South America. They all have the powerdasher gimmick. I got a couple recently and now that they are in my radar I don't see it impossible to get all of them.

[@TFanPage101]

Would love to get back the Optimus and Hot Shot. I do have Megatron. I do have the ROTF Soundwave satellite mostly to put with Soundwave. Also McDonalds did get a wave with movie characters in 2010

[@johnny13r]

This video gave me so much nostalgia because the burger king Optimus and Jetfire along with the actual Transformers Cybertron toyline Leobreaker were my first Transformers toys I ever had unfortunately the only one I still have to this day is that burger king Optimus Prime I still have a soft spot for it though.

[@user-ni1mh8rd4v]

Holy crap I was wondering where that animated bumblebee was from, I still have it in near perfect condition!

[@exaltedarchvile4357]

Those McDonald's TFA figures were my childhood. Along with a transforming movie Optimus cake topper I got way back in the day.

[@randoapplebigcheese6169]

WTF! I vividly remember having the Lugnut toy, I never even watched Animated or any of the shows. I think I also had Bumblebee

[@karloavera]

I still have the ROTF Bumblebee that makes the transformation sound, and somehow, the battery still works 15 years later!

[@red_crayon9771]

Seeing Mudflap and Skids in the same spot as children is hilarious

[@kamenmaximus]

I also only had lugnut from the animated set as a kid. IIRC my dad found it floating down the river when we where at a family friend's house and i got to keep it. Still have it

[@kao7143]

happy meal toys are insanely nostalgic for me and to this day i collect them as a hobby so i can keep some essence of my childhood alive while im a grumpy adult lol i remember owning some of the dino changeables, red alert from the armada mcdonalds set, a couple of the 07 film BK set, most of the ROTF BK set, some of the DOTM BK set and most of the TFA set, i lost them all as a kid but im hoping to get them all back someday and more i think transformers one will probably have a mcdonalds set to tie-in and considering the film is about finding t-cogs to gain transformation, here's to hoping the mcdonalds toys are transformable to tie in to that aspect of the film!

[@BerixMaster2010]

I actually had the Cybertron Jetfire toy you showed here! I honestly didn't even know that's what it was for the longest time; It honestly barely looks like Jetfire in that show aside from the plane mode

[@Keeereeejou]

the changeables, finally food you can play with

[@RaymondPerry-tj4vv]

For the animated one I remember having the ratchet one

[@mrjukeboxparty4563]

I think I had all the animated ones except lug nut I remember really wanting him

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I have Lugnut still and I have always thought he looks better if you just fold his tailfin halfway so he's more proportional and not so tall.

[@mrdiesellover]

I remember when the prime toys came out and how pissed I was i whined to my mom about them not being you know transformers glad you made this video today so nostalgic :)

[@thecasiowizard]

Technically, Blackarachnia and Dinobot had Transmetal 2 forms in the show. As well, when the Transmetal surge hit Earth in the beginning of season 2, before Scorponok met his death, he was glowing with the transmetal aura. I think in the Beast Wars source book they do consider Scorponok's McDonald's transmetal form as cannon I think. There were talks in making Dinobot transmetal for the show, but it never happened. There were sketches of what he would have looked like.

[@zphyr6780]

A video so nice he had to upload it twice lol

[@LucarioShirona]

Blackarachnia did got a Transmetal form in the cartoon, but that was near the end of the original Beast Wars series, so that's understandable. Dino Bot is an interesting case where the form techically is, but that is a clone and he only became the original Dinobot by personality in the final episode.

I actually have a couple of these sitting on top of my pc bc my aunt and uncle used to own an antique store and i love them my favorite is the pancake box that turns into the pterodactyl
