Changeables
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Changeables, also known as McRobots, was a toy series produced by the McDonald's corp. and given away with fast-food meals at their restaurants. The series used the then popular "Transforming Robots" toy concept in conjunction with their own products. The robots could transform into items (mostly food) from the company.
There were two series (1987 and 1990) of McRobots.
The original series included the pancake platter, Big Mac, McNuggets, Quarter Pounder, small fry, large fry, milk shake and ice cream cone. The 2nd series appeared as the same McDonald's food items but changed into crude dinosaur-like creatures and back. It also saw the additions of McMuffin sandwich and Happy Meal box figures.
Intended for use by small children, the Changeables line of toys was surprisingly sturdy as each figure was made from fairly thick plastic and typically contained only three moving parts. This made changing the individual figures from food item to robot/dinosaur and back fairly easy even for those within the intended age range.
