    Next month McDonalds is doing a toy train promo with characters from promotions they had in the past (strangely Jurassic Park hasn't had a McDonalds promo since the movie first came out...), but one of them is Transformers RID.

    Thought that would be interesting to point out. Reminds me of the Happy Meal Birthday Train they did way back in 1994.

    that's actually pretty cool. I'll probably try to collect the whole thing for my daughter.

    Man, remember that Wendy's (I think) Peter Pan kids meal promotion? EDIT: It's McDonald's. Where you could build an entire ship from each different toy connecting together? I never got all of those, but this kind of reminds me of that.

    Shame that the RiD car is just Bee peeking out of the top of a bunch of vehicle modes... It doesn't really do much else to stand out from the Hot Wheels car.

    Hey is #3 Dinosaurs?
    Blast from the past! "Not the Mama!" :D 

    Unfortunately, that's nothing new.
    Since the Bay movies, many McTransformers are just molded shapes into some form.
    Matrix, worse than Action Masters!! :x

    Thats one of the better McDonalds collections I\'ve seen in awhile. Then again it seems in the UK all we get are; Nerf, Adventure Time, Minions, Books, Mario. 
    I see those EVERY YEAR, at least twice.

    If Drift is gonna look like that, this may be the first time in TF history a figure was repainted on packaging art /s Sure looks like the colors are decked onto Strongarm's truck model

    I remember collecting the happy meal birthday train or any Christmas promos. Is this international, USA or Asia?

    Aww, too bad.

    Maybe we should re-purpose ALL of these as Transformers! :D

    Nice! If I were a kid, I would love to get these. This really makes me want proper trainformers.

    I remember the McDonald's train that was very similar to this back in the 90's or something. I even had an almost identical Hot Wheels loop cart back then.

    Looks like all the cars have some kind of gimmick that\'ll activate when it\'s rolled- the Minions and Rainbow Dash swing, the Hot Wheels car goes around the loop, etc.

    But the RiD one strangely has no obvious gimmick. Maybe Bumblebee rises up for there\'s something on the back side?

    Cool, I want Bee and Rexie because nothing says happy winter holidays. Like a giant alien robot and a murderous dinosaur.
