mcdonalds transformers animated

mcdonalds tranformers animated is here


2008 us release


first up is prime


nice design & transformation


i can't believe it, but its finally here. 2 years after it was released in the us mcdonalds malaysia finally released the transformers animated toys. sadly only 4 figures are available as apposed to 6 in the us - prime, megatron, bumblebee & ratchet (starscream & lugnut are m.i.a).

robot mode


truck mode

same toy as first release


the first to be released was prime & when i got mine last thursday they had just opened a box full of prime. from the stamp its clear that this is the same prime released on 2008, not a new figure. i'm actually pleased with the figure as it has a decent design & transformation process. it certainly doesn't feel cheap & is a nice addition to any collection. can't wait to get the next figure

good news for animated fans, arcee is coming to town and it looks like she's gonna be a toys r us exclusive (click me to read more). if i'm not mistaken besides being the first fembot for animated this will be the latest addition to fembots in the transformers universe which is very few in numbers compared to the dominating bots.

alternate mode...very futuristic

looking at the photos arcee looks nice & well made. personally i like this design compared to other animated figures, mainly because it looks more robotic and the alternate mode is very nice, solid and futuristic. however i'm still not sure if i'll get her because of the colour (g1 arcee is pink). another point is that though the design is more robotic but still not up to my taste. but being a fembot with very nice design it still very enticing...decisions, decisions
