From the Front Page, McDonalds is apparently bringing back Changeables with a whole new line of the classic Happy Meal toy! If the below image is real, at the end of this month, you can start buying Happy Meals including transforming McDonalds foods, appliances, or other paraphernalia that turn into either robots or dinosaurs. While technically not Transformers brand, the original figures were definitely cashing in on the transforming robot craze of the 80's brought on by Transformers.

I may need some help getting all of these. They definitely saw me coming.

Love that at least two of the original lineup seem to be part of this (FR-13S and DIV4). And Vash and maybe Fergon seem similar to the later (90s?) beast-based ones I'm less familiar with.

Oh man, I need these, but I've gotten really bad at collecting sets of McDonald's toys in recent years... having so many doesn't help.

I still hate missing out on the Lil McDonald's mini-restaurant a few months ago. 😿

Vash is definitely a "remake" of one of the 90's dino-changeables, along with Teef Rex

It sucks that I’m going to miss out on these; they look great. I’m just not willing to eat McDonald’s food, nor am I willing to just throw the food in the trash to just get a toy.

You can almost always find people selling near-current Happy Meal toys on ebay for not too crazy a markup. I may run to McD's once or twice during this promotion, but I also don't eat a lot of fast food, and when I do, it's almost never McDonalds (McNuggets are the perfect "eating while driving on a road trip" food, but otherwise there are almost always better options for burgers).

I've always been able to just buy the toy, usually for a dollar or two. The annoying parts are asking which ones they have and driving to different stores, but that's the hunt anyway.

I was thinking more of Fergon and Vash, but it's an interesting mix.

Vash is, of course, named after the archeologist of questionable morals and occasional love interest of Captain Picard from Star Trek: TNG.

Fergon is just a goofy name for a goofy toy.
