I got all the pieces to Abominus for Christmas, that would've made me four. There's even a picture around here of my dad [doing his best John Denver impersonation] opening either Blot or Hun-grrr for me. Also got Triggerhappy that year cause I wanted a plane like Starscream. Think I might've also gotten Kup around then too. But I remember having at least Beachcomber, Seaspray and Gears by that time too.

I guess maybe two weeks ago I picked up another Alt Prime for painting.

I remember getting G1 Ironhide, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Mirage for Christmas one year when I was about 10. Maybe some minibots too. So I don't really have a first, it was more like a first batch of them. I don't remember which one I opened first but I loved them all! The eighties were a great time to be a kid.

My last purchase for myself was two of Titanium Scourge. I already have one, but I wanted two more to create a TF: Movie display with Ultra Magnus gettng torn up by the Sweeps. I like to display scenes rather than side by side bots.

Ah, the memories of G1 Sideswipe and Sunstreak. Boy I loved those Lamborghini's. The only toys that survived my discovering M-80's, pellet guns and my teen years were my 3 5gal buckets of Legos. All my Transformers & GI Joe met an explosive end, and I had a lot of both. I wonder where those 8mm war videos we created are... :-?

My latest TF is MP-03 and I promise I will never bring him harm.

First: McDonald's Beast Wars stag beetle (can't remember his name). I was a deprived child. If that doesn't count, then Masterpiece Optimus Prime (with the battle damage paint job) 3, 4 years ago. I watched the cartoon when it aired, just never got any of the toys... :-(

Latest: Cybertron Unicron & Cybertron Excellion. Love these guys. Just hate how Unicron's pincer thingys won't stay in his hands or on his alt. mode shell... :-x

I think my first was either Bombshell or Beachcomber. I really can't remember for sure. My memories from when I was 5 are kinda mixed-up and spotty. I do, however, remember that the first TF I ever bought with my own money was G2 Starscream.

The latest TF that I bought would be Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. I won it off eBay a few days ago and it's on its way so I don't have it yet. The Gallery that Seibertron put up recently was what finally made me decide that I had to have it.

I think my first ever was Dragstrip (he's long since vanished though) Alt. Bluestreak got me into collecting again after a hell of a long time and my most recent purchase was Alt. Ravage!

by **Nujevad** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 8:12 am

Lets see...my first was G1 Rumble and my latest is Classics Jetfire.

by **GrimlockZ28** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 8:24 am

First: not too sure, it's been a while, but I think it was either Spinister (Targetmaster) or G2 Grimlock of which I don't have either anymore

Rekindle: MP-01 Masterpiece Convoy, awesome figure, got him and then had to get a bunch of Alternators and thus the Transformers fan in me was reborn

Latest: G1 Swoop complete, always wanted all the Dinobots, now I have them

I have no clue what my 1st TF was because ive been playing with them since i was around 2 or 3 years old. The only one i remeber getting that young was Shraplnel, Doubledealer and Rodimus. It might have been one of them but im not sure. But my latest ones are Primus (got for $20) and the Heros of cybertron brawn keychain (3rd one. the one i had on my keys broke and is now superglued in robot mode.)

One of the toy stores near me is selling off their remaining primus & cybertron metroplex toys for cheap, I think I'll have to grab some

My first Transformer was Ironhide, I remeber getting him right before Halloween in 1984 (I miss that guy)

My latest would be Classics Ramjet.

I love the classics, they make me feel like my collection has come full circle.

My first was G1 ratchet!! My latest is reissue ricochet on clearance! I would love to find ratchet again. He was lost when I was a kid. I have seen him on ebay for alot of money. If I can find him cheap I will get him quick. That would be a great day! Until then I can only dream :-(

by **Charger426** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 4:49 pm

I was the first kid on my block to get a transformer when they first came out, Trailbreaker.
Latest is classics Jetfire and Rodimus.

by **E107_Theta** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 4:56 pm

As a kid, I had more of the videos on tape then the toys. We had two VCRs, so we would copy videos all the time, and I used to rent G1 episodes then copy them.

I can't really remember who very my first transformer was, but most of my early ones were Micromasters and Actionmasters. I can vividly remember getting Actionmaster Prime for christmas. I also remember getting Wheeljack and Sprocket, those guys were cool for Action Masters, and I got Micromaster Countdown (the missile base), that was neat.

Later on, my mom got me G1 Prime and Dreadwind from a tag sale, which were my first REAL Transformers. Transformers died down for a bit, but then G2 came out, and I was all over that. Bumblebee was probably my first from that line, and later for christmas I got blue Grimlock and G2 Prime and Megatron. After getting G2 Prime, I stupidly sold G1 Prime because I had a "better" Prime, and my old one didn't have any hands... d'oh!

My latests are Reissue Soundwave and Titanium Rodimus.

First Sideswipe. Latest Classics Ramjet and Titanium Starscream

by **WhiteNoise** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 8:27 pm

Interesting thread. My first was Soundwave. When I was in 5th grade, I saved up my lunch money ($1.00 a day) for a month and rode my bike to my local Gemco store and bought him.

My latest is Masterpiece Starscream. My wife just bought him. ^_^
