I owned absolutely nothing because the TV series started in 1984, meaning I was about two years old at the time...
Life can be pretty sweet when your alt-mode is a B-2 Stealth Bomber.

None of them, I was born in '86 and didn't have any Transformers till '90. My only Transformers were Bumblebee and Jazz. (Jazz was actully my brother's but I was the only one who could actully Transform either of them.)

Unfortunatly though I lost both of them when we moved. They sort of vanished somewhere in the packing. :sad:

Looking up I just realized how little I had back then. :P My parrents didn't own their own house at the time in fact the first place they actully owned was the one we moved into when I lost them. Not really sure why I never got more Transformers after that sense they weren't spending money on rent anymore.

I hear ya ! It always irritated me that I could never collect enough to make a Gestalt.I was always missing one or a couple that would complete me a sub-group. I was only like 8yrs old durring G1 era;They were kinda pricy for the 80's. Buying Transformers was a definitly a Luxury. Only B-days and X-Mas's! I remember I would Re-enact enitre episodes and Say all their lines and make all the sounds! I was such a dork!lol! I did love my toys to death though.

I had

Soundwave
Buzzsaw
Ravage
Rumble (or Frenzy. The Red One)
Skids

My mother didn't want to get me too many "boy toys", so I didn't have many. That always annoyed me growing up. Now my daughter can have all the "Boy Toys" she wants.

Anyway, I still have my Soundwave. Ravage was stolen from me and my father got rid of the other ones. I still miss them.

Transformers Energon allso made a mistake in the nameing of Downshift and Cliffjumper. In the series the guy who looks an awful lot like G1 Wheeljack was called Cliffjumper but his toy is labled Downshift. The toy labled Cliffjumper was likewise called Downshift in the series.

If it was a mistake in the series it is a consistant one but I'd still go by the cartoon names not the toys. It all depends on which you prefer sence Hasbro can't make up their minds.

Yeah but they went back and forth in energon with the names of those two.In some episodes its like you said and in others they had the right names.

It was the same in the first few episodes of Armada with the naming of both Optimus's and Kegatron's mini-con Leader one.

They never corrected the mis-naming of Rumble in the G1 toon

Motto: ""I'm stronger than I look, but not as strong as I think I am.""
Weapon: Laser Rifle
First off let me check to see if I remember...*opens up file cabinet in brain*

:-? ...

At various times I've owned the following, and most likely I didn't have the accessories. In fact, if I had the accessories I probably bought them myself.
Optimus Prime
Thundercracker
Wreck-Gar
Squeezeplay (w/ accessories and yes, I still have him too! :-P In fact, he's the only one from the childhood collection that I have left)
Slag
Grimlock
Swoop (No, actually my brother had him along w/ the Predacons)
Perceptor
All the Stunticons except Wildrider (all accessories for these)
Powermaster Optimus Prime (w/ all accessories)
Brawn
Rewind (w/ all accessories)
Steeljaw (w/ all accessories)
Scavenger
Prowl
Red Alert
Inferno
Powerglide (I think)
Goldbug
Punch/Counterpunch (w/ all accessories but I didn't buy him, my brother did)
Skystalker (w/ all accessories)
Sizzle
Off-Road Patrol
Battle Patrol
Ruckus
Sandstorm (w/ all accessories)
Battletrap (w/ all accessories)
Warpath
Beachcomber (I think)
Huffer (I think)
G2 Jazz (ok, I wasn't a kid when I got this but I'm still counting it as part of my old collection)

*Closes the brain file* As you can see I had quite the collection. I can't believe I had that many to be honest. But some of them I remember playing w/ but the file is a little rusty so I can't be sure if I actually owned them or not.

Armada could never call any of the Mini-cons by the right names. And their mistakes were never really consistant.

As for the thing I mentioned in Energon they were allways called by the reverse names. I dare you to find one episode where either of them were called by their toy names.

You know Sabe, I think we get along pretty well and I like debating with you a lot.....but from time to time you make these bold statement's as if you know that your 100% right, that you know what your talking about and that there's no way in hell that you could be wrong.

You then challenge me to proove you wrong and the time's that the debate is not about something that is a personal theroy, and I do proove you wrong you wont even reply on the topic at hand again afterwards.

I am not even as big of a fan of the the Energon show [or the other two of the trilogy] as you are and even I knew you were wrong in your statement.

Well you dared me to find one episode where either of them were called by their toy names?????
Well ok you asked for it.....here are four episodes where they call them by their toy names.

Transformers Energon: Distribution time frame 02:02

Transformers Energon: Decepticon Army time frame 00:22
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VzNWcEUIZEA&feature=related

Transformers Energon: Destructive Power time frame 05:42
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4OZxOxStg5Q

Transformers Energon: Spark time frame 06:10
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UqCbmAGLcFM

I'm really shocked you didnt remember the last 2 I posted because they were so close to the big final fight.

I could find more but it took me long enough to find these.There were quite a few more episodes where they called them by their correct names.

I hope that at least this time you can admit your mistake.
