Kinder Chocolate

Kinder Surprise are a confectionery product manufactured by Ferrero. They consist of a wrapped chocolate egg which contains a small toy, often stored in an unassembled state, constituting a surprise. While the toys featured are often generic, Ferrero have also included toy series linked with existing franchises. In addition to Transformers, lines such as Star Wars and Marvel Comics have also been featured.

Toys

• Transformers: Prime (2014)

A series of buildable figures based on Transformers: Prime characters, these consisted of a generic "cog" onto which limbs and armor could be clipped to construct the character. Toys included Optimus Prime, Arcee, Ratchet, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream. Some worked out better than others.

• Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015)

For Transformers: Robots in Disguise, the same Optimus Prime and Bumblebee figures from the previous series were made available again, along with newcomers Sideswipe, Strongarm, Grimlock and Steeljaw. In adition, stickers were also available in the same eggs, which could led to really pissed-off kids wanting to buy another one just to try again and get a figure.

During Easter season, bigger eggs were sold containing either an Optimus Prime or a Bumblebee figure. Sadly, these figures are just a block of plastic with no features whatsoever. Each figure came with an Autobot insignia-shaped launcher and a "target" made of paper with a Decepticon printed on it.
