To celebrate the new season of Transformers: Robots In Disguise, McDonald’s will be issuing 8 new toys with their Happy Meals.
The toyline contains Robot Modes and Vehicle Modes of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Steeljaw and Thunderhoof. Toys themselves are Deployers shooting projectiles with images of Minicons on them.
Staying true to the nature of the Second Season, the toys will interact with a mobile app for a game based on Minicons.
You can visit their official website for a product demo and check out the commercial, after the jump.

I just went again today, they gave me another Optimus, so I asked if I could have something different. They gave me robot Thunderhoof, so I'm probably done eating at McDonalds for awhile now…

I went to one over the weekend here in Massachusetts and despite the Transformers Happy Meal boxes, and display sign with the toys in it, we got a Spider-Man! And after asking, that's all they had…I'm not even sure when they did Spider-Man last. Needless to say, the little one was not pleased!

I was up in Alamosa, CO this weekend and got truck version of Thunderhoof. Really want to get the robot versions eventually.

I guess it varies from store to store as I got the full set of eight today. My timing was perfect as they were just opening up a huge box of Transformers toys and started to put them into the individual Happy Meal boxes. If I had to guess, I'd say that there were 10 or so (maybe more) of each figure in the big box.

Yeah, but the idea is that kids still dig trucks, so they'll be excited. Plus it shoots a missile!
I wish they'd do a new wave of the McDonalds meals that transform. I still have my french fries from when I was a kid, as well as a few others I've picked up since then.
EDIT: I also got Optimus Truck, which makes sense from what I've heard from McD's employees, they usually get the main 2 or 3 characters in one shipment, then the second shipment is more equal amounts of everyone. He'll be a perfect addition to my desktop toys, which include a McD's Underbite from last time.

I got an Optimus truck. -_- That's it. Just a truck. Ugh. If I wanted to collect toy cars I'd go buy Hot Wheels. Major fail Micky D.
DOTM Bumblebee
Just went today and got a truck-mode Prime.

Commercial is new but the toys aren't:
Transformers Robots In Disguise McDonald’s Happy Meal Promotion – Transformer World 2005 – TFW2005.COM
This was posted last month on the 20th.
Still, good to know.

That's my thought as well. Maybe someday.

They really don't want to do transformable happy meals toys anymore do they?

Strongarm gets excluded again, but at least she gets excluded in favour or decepticons, which have roughly as much presence in the RiD toyline as fembots.

i'd feel kinda gipped if all i got was a car, lol.
Lumpy
Wow, they all have some sort of pseudo weapon storage.. I dig it… I will probably get 2-3 of these over the next week or two.

Missed opportunity to do some Minicons…
