The radiation-trefoil-looking shape should give you a reasonable idea of how these things tasted.

The surprise cup was one of various Nestlé tie-in ice creams sold to promote Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with the only known release locations being in Portugal and Italy.

[edit]

A freebie dangler was hidden away in the bottom of each cup, with eight different unique variants to collect. These mostly consisted of small figurines based on movieverse characters, with the odd truck and AllSpark cube thrown in for good measure. The fact that all the characters and items are based on the 2007 film designs might suggest these were conceived without any knowledge of what would actually be featured in Revenge of the Fallen, which can be corroborated by how the ice cream was released a good couple of months before the actual toyline hit retail. [1]

The eight collectible figurines consisted of:



  • Ratchet in robot mode
  • Barricade in robot mode
  • Megatron in robot mode
  • AllSpark cube in, erm, cube mode

  • Each cup also featured unique art on the bottom of the round lid covers, ranging from bogstandard Autobot and Decepticon insignia to the common promotional character CGIs [2] photoshopped into generic garish backgrounds.
