Mine..

Transformer: Beast Wars Magnaboss (Ironhide, Prowl, Silverbolt)
When acquired: 1997
How acquired: Grandpa
Still have, or last sighting: Packed away, just don't have that much of a BW collection for me to have them out.
Condition at last sighting: Ironhide is in good condition. Prowl and Silverbolt are a tad unplayble; the Magnaboss head is broken on Prowl and Silverbolt has something wrong with his torso.
Other comments: I was super fascinated with Elephants when I was a kid, so Ironhide was probably the best toy ever. I've digressed from that thinking, but if I ever go back and recollect BW I'll try my hardest to get a mint Magnaboss so I can relive the memories.

I would have been 8 years old and it was 28 years ago, so I don't remember.

Transformer: G2 Motormouth.
When acquired: 1993 (I think)
How acquired: Christmas gift
Still have, or last sighting: Don't have it, gave it away with all my other childhood toys when I turned 18 to a Salvation Army store
Condition at last sighting: No gun, but it had help up very well over the years
Other comments: I had lost the gun the first day and never found it again. Still he was a fun little guy to play with. Ended up getting all the figs from that line before losing interest and giving them all away at the time.

Fun exercise Mine-


Transformer: G1 Thundercracker

When acquired: 1984

How acquired: B-day or X-mas. Been a looooong time, can't remember 100%

Still have, or last sighting: Long gone, probably eaten by my parents old houses attic.

Condition at last sighting: Main body and wings- nothing else. Landing gear and fists were the first to get lost- I kept it mostly in alt form flying it around.

Other comments: First TF I ever got. Loved that thing to pieces. Still have vivid memories of tagging along with mom on errands flying him around attacking the store displays and shelves. One of the first toys I got when I started collecting again? MP-11 Thundercracker!

Transformer: Micromaster Off Road Patrol: Powertrain, Mudslinger, Highjump, Tote
When acquired: 1989, at the age of 5
How acquired: Gift from my parents, don't remember the exact circumstances
Still have, or last sighting: Still have'em, right now they're on the back of a display table pending their move.
Condition at last sighting: Aside from a bit dusty, Powertrain had his smokestack snapped off long ago, and Mudslinger lost his lights around the same time. Other than that, still tight joints for the most part, which is more than I can say for the rest of my little dears...
Other comments: It's probably because of them I have an affinity for small Transformers and their play sets. That includes today's Mini-Cons, so...

Transformer:RID Wedge

When:2001, so I was 5.

How acquired Was going to be a gift for a friends b-day but found out he didn't like them so I kept it.

Still have or last sighting Sitting on my shelve in combined mode with his team mates.

Transformer: Powermaster Optimus Prime
When acquired: 1993
How acquired: bought from a friend
Still have, or last sighting: June 1996, left at grandparents' house in Europe. I came to the United States under the pretense of vacation, and never went back. So I never saw that Prime again. Since I had bought replacements, but recently I sold it in anticipation of Xovergen Trailerforce.
Condition at last sighting: It was missing everything except 1 of the dual-barreled cannons. No Hi-Q, no big head, nothing.

Transformer: G1 Hubcap and G2 Hook

When acquired: er... somewhere between 1997 and 1999

How acquired: A Boy Scout penny social thingy... basically the Boy Scouts gather as many donated items as possible and sell them to raise money for their troop, in a yard sale type fashion.

Still have, or last sighting: They're sitting on the shelf above my window

Condition at last sighting: same state as I got them. Hubcap is missing his allegiance sticker but is otherwise in good shape. Hook is in good shape as well, but is missing all his accessories

Other comments: I remember they came together in a zip-lock bag and cost me less than $1

Might as well. It's been a while so I dont really remember.

Transformer: G1 Optimus Prime with trailer, brand new.

When acquired: 1986. I was 10.

Still have, or last sighting: In 1988.

Condition at last sighting: Well... I was bored with it... so... I... *hahem* kinda destroyed it in a million peices to make art-n-craft toys... sigh...

Other comments: When I went back to Transformers in 2010, I bought the latest reissue plus a separate smokestack kit. OP was a bitch to mod, but it was and still is well worth it.

Transformer: Movie 1 Dreadwing

When acquired: 2007, when I was 9

How acquired: There was a TRU next to the cinema I watched the movie at. Dreadwing was not my top choice, but only him, payload, arcee, bonecrusher and other minor characters were left for the deluxe line.

Still have, or last sighting:Sitting on my movie 1 shelf

Condition at last sighting: Very loose, small tabs broke off, launcher springs are dead, have loads of "custom" pannel lining by gundam markers. Otherwise still presentable.

Other comments: Played with him alot, so much till the missile launchers broke. Attempted to paint him with gundam markers too. Still looks good on my movie 1 shelf.

Yes, I'm still very new.

Transformer: ...Beast Wars fuzors terrorgator
When acquired: ...1997
How acquired: ...present from my mom out of sheer generosity
Still have, or last sighting: ...i have a replacement for mine was broken long ago

Other comments: ...i broke my original the next day i got it because i got mad and threw it. and that is when it started. i got another and an other and another........about 13 years later after breaking it my girl friend bought me a replacement of my first transformer for an anniversary gift. still with her today and engaged.

Transformer: G2 Dinobots
When acquired: Presumably, 1993 (when I was 5)
How acquired: Christmas present. Or maybe Birthday?
Still have, or last sighting: Long lost, probably within just a couple years of acquiring.
Condition at last sighting: Not good. Grim's dino head always popped off during transformation, lord knows what else was broken...
Other comments: I got the Dinobots since I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid, though I can't say I really liked them for what they were. Transforming them was fun and all, but I don't think I ever kept them in robot mode for more than a second ("why would I want people robots when I can have DINOSAURS").

Condition at last sighting: Been so long, i have no idea; probably beat to hell.
Other comments: One of my best memories is showing him to my grandfather and how he transformed. He was fascinated by it, being a Jack of all Trades, and kept asking me to slow down when i transformed him so he could see the steps and how it worked. Great times and memories!
