After I watched the animated movie, my Optimus "died" and I removed his head because one of the coneheads took it to create an evil Optimus. The trailer was dismantled as was Roller. I wish I hadn't done that. I still have the trailer in pieces with a bunch of other misc parts and weapons.

Dumbest thing I ever did with Transformers as a kid was never asking for them in the first place. lol

They'd have made perfect counterparts to my barbies! My 3 year old niece has it good. She gets to play with with Playskool Optimus & Chase in her doll house with her barbies (the most important being princess Ariel. Lol)

Letting my brother handle one of mine. When we were little, i always kept up with my toys and made sure they stayed in good shape. My brother, on the other hand, not so much. He would grab one of mine and, I swear, it wouldn't be 2 seconds and he would break it. I'm still not over what he did to my Swoop.... :sad:

We were poor and couldnt afford much. Back in the mid 1980's, I was tired of my G1 Optimus Prime. So I did the logical thing and exploded him in tiny pieces to make some new toys. #-o

I had the complete Protectobot team. In a move, I gave them all to some charity, but I kept some guns. :roll:

Oh well...

I guess the only thing I did to my Transformers that wasn't bright was lend them out for days even weeks at a time. As for G.I. Joe I would create stumps on legs and arms on quite a few of them and paint the stump ends with red nail polish. I would imagine them being hit with high caliber bullets or stepping on land mines. Cut me a break, I grew up in Camden City, NJ.

I had tools and a will to destroy! :lol:

The best "custom" toy I made out of this was a spaceship. The base was the triangular base of a Star Treck model kit. The cockpit of the vessel was the entire repair drone from the trailer minus the "arm". As for the thruster, it was a random plastic peice and half a plastic egg. The kind to find prizes in it. Under the ship was a red bike reflector. The thing was held together with glue... and tape!

I kept that masterpeice for years and years! With any luck, it may still be buiried, somewhere... :-?

It wasn't a 'dumb' thing while playing that I did, it was giving some of them away. What possessed me I'll never know.

Back in the 80's, I would always like to get out the old screwdriver and disassemble them. Sometimes I'd even get them back together without any problems, but often they'd wind up looser than when they started or with some other various problem. In particular, I remember totally messing up the mechanism in Jetfire's front landing gear.

Back in 2011 i got tired of my Cybertron Backstop figure so i dismantled him and tossed his parts into a garbage disposal bin.

And i dont regret as much as the day after, he was ugly, a waste of money and deserved a gruesome dismantled death :grin:
