Those were also my brother's and my first TFs, respectively. November 1984, Kiddie City in Center City Philadelphia. Ahhh, the pre-rub goodness.

My first tf was a jeep/4x4. Not sure exactly who he was, but he *may* have been the hummer with the large guns (Triggercon?)

The first TF that I got in adulthood (and that started my collecting) was The US G1 reissue Starscream.

Hm, my memory is slightly hazy now but I think it was Gen 1 Windcharger followed by Ratchet as a Christmas present.

Not long after I got the remaining mini-bots bar Bumblebee, Jazz and Trailbreaker. I still remember walking into a Woolworths that had an entire Aisle dedicated to transformers. Man, those were the days!

First figure to get me back into collecting was a Classic re-issue of Jazz.

What I wouldn't give to walk into a store again and just see the aisles covered in the original toys of my childhood: GI Joe, Transformers, Masters of the Universe.

I remember my first couple of Transformers, G1 Starscream and later G1 Jetfire. I also got a bunch of smaller mini-bots around that time but those were always 2 of the earliest Transformers I remember owning.
