Happy Meal Spotlight | RID Drift

03.02.2018 – The Robots in Disguise TV Series may have wrapped up but that doesn’t stop Hasbro or Takara Tomy to produce further merchandise and tie-in products based on the characters that appeared in the show. Clearly there are more Robots in Disguise than Meets the Eyes. Usually, promotional tie-ups with fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s make the property even more relevant despite mixed reactions of the recent iteration of the live-action films. With that in mind the Happy Meal toys based on the series were released subsequently between its series premiere and last year’s release.

Happy Meal Spotlight | RID Grimlock

03.06.2017 – Grimlock has been a popular character that his name has been used in previous series going back to Beast Wars.

McDonald’s have released a new set of Happy Meal toys based from the ‘Robots in the Disguise’ series apart from the one that was sold in 2015 which also included Grimlock. This time the latest iteration has something more than it can chew!

Happy Meal Spotlight | RID Strongarm

02.26.2017 – There have been unknown characters in the world of Transformers. For the 2015 Robots in Disguise series Bumblebee would be the most visible character, since he’s the leader of the pack when he was introduced in the very first episode. But Bee is the not the only Autobot who travelled with him going back to Earth. Strongarm, a rookie cadet was also introduced in the series. This Autobot is a ‘she’ and was included in the new Happy Meal toys for this month in Australia!

Legion Class | RID Fixit!

12.24.2016 – Fixit, one of the lead characters in the 2015 series “Robots in Disguise” which for some might mistake this Autobot as the former Gobots character named Scooter. But it doesn’t help that he’s one of those underrated Autobots that’s easily forgotten if you only knew Bumblebee and his “Bee Team.” But then again you might think this is all a big joke that Fixit looks like some guy from an old 1980s cartoon that tried to unseat the “Transformers” back in the day. The action figure looks cool looking though for being in-scale with the other characters.

07.19.2015 – It’s been a while since McDonald’s featured TransFormers as one of their meal toys. The last one was based from the TransFormers: Prime series almost two years ago and probably won’t remember them now for being non-transforming.
