Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Uhm, nice flash back, really nice, (reminds me of the transition between g2, and beast wars, and ironically enough your story of the bat primal and croc megs is indentical to mine, however I was like okay cool, a bat and alligator. ) But I was about 7 when beast wars came out, and I was psyched to see this after seeing g2 sadly end.

one problem though, the new story is mislabeled, panther and beetle are switched around above the picture of the toys.

Woo hoo! My Dad just sent me the photos of McDonald's and the Big Kmart in Fenton to go along with this article. Man, talk about a blast from the past for me! Heh heh. What a great Dad I have.

He also sent me this picture of the Transformers at the Big K. Looks like they got the Movie figures in today as well.

I'm glad you liked the flashback, Head Shot. Thanks for pointing out that I had the text flipped for two of the galleries. I've updated the story to reflect this change.

Thanks GetterDragun! And to think that it was my artwork that made me start this website 7 years ago. Funny how I never got around to using it to showcase my artwork like I had originally planned. Ah well ... I think I'm enjoying this route a lot more. One day I'll get back to drawing again!

Great read, Seibs. I had always wondered how sites like this get started, and now I know. Very cool.

Great Story! I had similar thoughts about the beast wars line at first as well. Somehow though I couldn't resist buying quite a few right from the beginning in 1995. The first beast wars figure I got was the bat Primal gator Megatron 2 pack. Today I find myself struggling to get those That I didn't buy initially.

Ah you know but a small part of the origin of Seibertron.com. The McDonald's Beast Wars story is what got me excited enough about Beast Wars to start Trans-Forum, my pre-Seibertron.com contribution(s) to the fandom. One day I'll tell you guys the actual story behind Seibertron.com though I don't think it's all that exciting.
