Hi!
I searched on the TFA News section for Happy Meal Toys and couldn't find anything about these. If these are old, please delete.
I went to McDonalds for lunch, and noticed they have the TFA Happy Meal promotion. Happy as I was to get some of the TFA Happy Meal toys shown on these very forums some months ago, to my surprise the toys were different.
The promotion includes: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Starscream (what a surprise!)
All 4 toys have the same gimmick, a G1-Jumpstarter-like transformation. This also means the alt mode doesn't resemble anything.
The toy for today was Optimus Prime. I bought it (couldn't resist)
I'm attaching some pics. Sorry about the quality, but the only camera I have here at work is my crappy cell phone. I'll upload better ones tonight. EDIT:
Here are better pics (as promised). They're in my photobucket account. I also added a comparison pic with 2-Pack Battle Damaged Optimus Prime and Activators Optimus Prime, as well as copyright information on the back of the figure.
(Sorry for the glare on some of the pics) http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04136.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04137.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04138.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04139.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04140.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04142.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04143.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...d/DSC04148.jpg
(The bagged pic is of a second OP I bought earlier this evening)
And ZOMG!!!!10101101 video review:
(Ok, I kid.  Just a little vid showing the Jumpstarting Transformation with very poor lighting. How do video reviewers shoot their clips with proper lighting???) MOV04147.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting EDIT2:
