McDonald's are giving themselves a bit of a revamp as they look to change their image, and it seems that the treasured characters of our childhood are on the chopping block too...or they're at least getting a makeover. 

First on the list is Hamburglar, the devious criminal who enjoyed getting his hands on Ronald's burgers at any opportunity. You may remember him as a cartoonish, mischievous fellow, as seen above, with a mask on to keep his identity hidden. The stripes were a later addition to his classic ensemble...

This is the new lad, whose sinister look is clearly influenced by the erstwhile criminal mastermind, who seemed to have been in retirement for quite a while.

He has made a bold fashion choice in choosing to wear combats, but on a practical level they will hold more burgers. McDonald's teased the announcement with a short video that makes it clear that this new Hamburglar is a family man, he simply can't stop stealing burgers. It's in his DNA. 

Given that he's no longer a cartoon and looks like a real human, we can only hope that there's not some sort of unfortunate misunderstanding at his next public appearance.
