I think I did the same with G1 Dreadwind. I remember playing with him in a hotel room on a family visit (I think my aunt got him for me) and I still have his Powermaster.Dr Va'al wrote:And I have this annoying memory of owning Megalligator and Battimus Prime, from the early BW, but leaving them/losing them in a hotel room during a winter holiday once. I used to make them fight under the bed, and I'm pretty sure that's where they last were when I left the place.
That made me chuckle I would have been the exact same wayGlarryg wrote:Other kids would try to tell me that yellow Cliff was Bumblebee, because Bumblebee is the yellow one. I'd try to explain that, no, Bumblebee is the VW Beetle, which is this red one, and the toy people got the colors wrong on these two. Nobody listened....
He was a big deal. I never had him as a kid, but handling him as an adult made me wonder.... I'm not comparing him to todays standards, but he is really not that impressive. He's tiny and fragile.

I did. And I wasn't even really a kid. I think I was 18 when I got G1 Devastator, so technically I was an adult. But I never had any of the gestalts when I was young, and when I got back into collecting in 2000, I wanted to go in chronological order according to the G1 comics, so Devastator was the 1st gestalt I bought. And yes, back then I played with him as if it was 1985. He wasn't mint by any means, he wasn't even complete. It was just the 6 Constructicons and the accessories to make Devy, no small weapons or anything. But it sure made me feel like I was 8, not 18. But yeah, compared to now, and especially his CW version, G1 Devy seems so simple yet fragile.shajaki wrote:He was a big deal.

And I forgot my 1st Alternator, Smokescreen. He was a Christmas present from my best friend.
