I started really getting into Transformers about a year and a half ago. Not sure why, I am a child of the 80's. I guess it was the nostalgia factor. Either way, I started collecting G1, but quickly turned to classics. Now I hardly have any G1, just the few from my childhood. But I have a nice classics collection. I can't hardly even look at G1 anymore. I guess the classics/generations line gives the adult me a feel of wow and excitement I had as a child with that still familiar feel and look. I will ne'er give up the few G1 that were originally mine or my complete G1 Jetfire. That was my favorite as a kid. My grandmother gave me one as a child. I played with it so much all the time. I destroyed with fun and love. I guess transformers bring back so many wonderful memories.

I don't have a profound love for them, but I still can't get over the novelty of having 2 toys in 1. They're always a lot of fun.

What do they mean to me? They're fun. They last longer than a bottle of wine. I like looking at them. I like transforming them. I like posing them. I like painting them so I can look at them some more.

They are fun to transform... And make great display pieces. :lol:

They remind me of my happy childhood, spending countless days lost in the war between autobot and decepticon!

It took me a while to figure out what I found interesting in Transformers that separated them from other collectible toys. Then it hit me about a year ago - each one is different. Now let me explain; a silhouette of a transformer is unique to that character (repaints not withstanding) because of the second mode. Compare that to Marvel legends, or star wars or GI Joe and most of the figures are all pretty much alike aside for aesthetic details. Transformers are a variety of shapes, sizes and colours meaning that I have a dynamic display no matter how I organize them.

What do they mean to me? My life!

What a minute, nevermind, I have no life.

They're just a part of me. :roll:

Almost every battle I staged between my Autobots and Decepticons ended in nuclear destruction. Cold war paranoia, I guess! To the OP, Transformers combined cool aesthetics plus a cartoon, comic, and they were challenging to learn the transformations, and satisfying when you did

This all still applies, despite me now being a reasonably sane adult.

A big relieve of the day as I usually touch them in the late night before bed. I also love the fact that when I look at mine, each one of them may have its own story (besides some other toys are just for looking good). Even a repaint/retool is different than the other one.
