I come from a family of 8, and at the height of the Transformer popularity, we were living in Puerto Rico. Both of my parents worked very hard to feed all of us, because having a big family is not that easy! Anywho, I knew that our financial situation wasn't that great, so I planned to get good grades in school to ensure that I would be able to get my Favorite Transformer (at the time!), which has G1 Devastator. I was so fascinated by the Constructicons and Devastator, that I would have done anything for it. They were my first intro into the combiners' team, and just the idea of combining other robots into a giant robot was awesome!
Getting close to the holidays, I told my parents what I wanted, and I had explained to them why I wanted it, and show them what I had done to earn it. Sadly, they would tell me, that things were looking very tight financially and that they wouldn't be able to get that for me. As it was, it seemed that none of the kids would get what we would have asked for, other than clothing.
So the day came, and we started opening our gifts. Again, it wasn't a lot, but everyone at least got something. But then my father brings to the living room where we were gathered a few more gifts. He hands them out to everyone, and it seemed that we all got the one thing we really wanted. I got the Devastator 6 pk gift set, to which I burst out into tears! I don't think I ever hugged my parents that hard before. It was the best memory of getting a Transformer...EVER.
