In 2007, Transformers was shown as the first live-action film adaptation of the Transformers franchise. It starred Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky and introduced hot babe Megan Fox to the world. The movie was a huge hit earning more than $700 million at the box-office.
For a limited period of time in conjunction with the movie’s showing from June – July 2007, Filipino fast-food chain Jollibee offered Transformers action figures as part of its Kids Meal. It was actually the second time Jollibee has done this as around January – February of that same year, they released its Transformers: Cybertron action figures. The toys were released in partnership with toy company Hasbro.
I’m a big fan of action figures and was able to get hold of the complete set of those Transformers toys. They also double-up as cup covers/toppers. Characters represented were Optimus Prime and Bumblebee for the Autobots and Megatron and Barricade for the Decepticons. Here they are:

Bumblebee


Megatron


Barricade


Once again, Jollibee did a good job on these. The toys they soon released for the Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen was somewhat of a disappointment though.
