Thanks to TFW2005 sponsor Robot Kingdom (who is based in Hong Kong) we have a new walk through video showing all the cool stuff inside THE ARK – a Transformers themed restaurant that just opened up. It really is a sight to behold and mind blowing that a complex that big and robust was done just for our Transformers franchise. Plus – Autobot logo hamburger buns FTW!
Check the video below, and make sure to check out Robot Kingdom for all your collecting needs! They have some more pics on their Facebook as well.

“As it should”? What are you talking about? Just because it’s transformers doesn’t mean it will be released in Japanese markets too. Hasbro markets are incredibly different from Takara Tomy’s. They license things for different reasons. This restaurant might be valuable in Hong Kong because Transformers is very popular there, but Japan is a whole different situation. Transformers have a bit of a rough situation over there for a while. The fans exist but it’s not enough to invest into the construction of an entire restaurant. Besides, these designs aren’t popular with the Japanese fans, they where made for everyone internationally with a western design philosophy.

When will there be a branch in Japan as it should?

Friend of mine was asking me if 2500 USD was too much for a 1 of 100 limited edition Optimus Prime. Apparently that fancy one with with fancy stand & ring is one of those world-wide specialty figures for the Cafe. Happy Hunting!

I think Universal Beijing has ‘Swerve’s Lounge’.

Now I think about it, how come Universal don't have a Transformers theme cafe/ resturant at their Transformers attraction unless they do have one and I didn't know about?

Thats at Universal Studios Beijing, not this restaurant. So the other side of China, basically.
I could definitely see this happening though.

This looks sick! Can we have this in the Transformers section at Universal?

it isn't as themed as much on the inside as I thought it might be but it is honestly very cool…
lol Wheeljack doing quality control on the burger patties…
mostly a general fast-food restaurant with a big merch area…would fit right in at Universal Studios…
funny "Our gift to you…" line from the commercial…Autobots pushing unhealthy fast food…should have been a Nemesis-themed restaurant with Decepticon theming…
