Thought you guys might enjoy seeing a pic of me from around Christmas 1987, which remains as one of my favorite childhood memories (I got spoiled that year with a bunch of Transformers). Would love to have those boxes now ... but I think the memory of making this robot out of Transformers boxes is priceless. Boxes used are Galvatron and Ultra Magnus for the legs, Scourge and Cyclonus for the arms. I thought I had used something for the chest and head but it appears to just be made out of cardboard.

nice pic Seibs. oh yeah,getting Cyclonus and Galvatron? that's one heck of a Christmas to remember. B-)

too bad i never was too creative enough to do something artistic with my Joe card backs back then (TFs were a luxury, as indicated by the G1 toys i had on the other thread), i remember just throwing 'em all away back in the day, never even caring for the *GASP* dossiers at the back.

ah well, that's childhood for all of us.


:MAX:

Ah, not at all. I'd rather have a priceless picture like that of my childhood than some beatup G1 boxes that somehow survived 20 years. I can always by MIB versions of Magnus and Galvatron to go with my MIB Cyclonus, MIB Scourge and both Targetmaster versions. One day ...

;)

From the boxes you used, it seems you got the best toys seibertron. That must have been a great year.

Great pic. Reminds me of my 1986 Hannuka presents. I got Hot Rod, Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, and Cyclonus. My brother got Ultra Magnus, Kup, Blurr, and Wreck-Gar. This would have been just 4 months after the movie came out. Good memories.
