The Energon Pub

[autobot_aza]

i recently have been through all my old tf toys and found manny broken from years of playing with them, one of these included my g1 optimus prime haha

[Autobot032]

Well, considering I'm no longer a fan of G1, it wouldn't bother me if I found one of my old ones in less than stellar shape, considering they were well played with. (However, considering I sold off that collection long ago...it's impossible to find one now. lol)

Now, when I pulled my Armada and Energon figures out of storage and saw scuff marks and a few small paint scrapes, I hit the roof.

[KoH4711]

Shockwave was broken when I got him in a trade, though I pestered my dad into trying to help me fix him.

I just wish I didn't disassemble him further when it proved fruitless. *sniffs as he looks toward the front half of the chest piece*

[Dead Metal]

Grimlock... and the rest of my old Tfs

[Danish-Liokaiser]

My dear old G1 Quickmix I broke the Red part behind hes head ... And some of my other Late G1 toys ...

And my dear ol' Darkwing! I didnt knew i had to use a Nebulon to Transform him, so i just ripped the **** out of him, and used a scissor to get hes head up! You can still see the scar today.

My cousin gave me them so i didnt knew that Darkwing was a Powermaster.

G1 Megatron when I got him on Christmas of '84. Took him out of the box, while changing him the first time I put too much pressure on the gun barrel and SNAP! there goes the hinge.

Okay that was ass dude ... was whole the Christmas ruined then?

[YouFearGalvatron]

Ratbat and Apeface...oh, the sadness...

[saxman727]

I never had any TF toys, but my brother had a bunch of them. He had TWO G1 Optimus Prime toys... both which got broken. I guess they didn't make those toys to last =/

[Hotrod]

I have a long list

Grimlock
Sludge
Snarl
Dragstripe
Sunstreaker
Powerglide
Grapple (I have replaced him though )
Hound
Thundercracker

[Creature SH]

Mostly Overlord. Although my nephew had a hand in that, too.

[Necessary Evil]

I buried my Constructicons when I was 6 or 7... And that area is now covered by a path. Damn... I wish I still had them...

[autobot_aza]

wow so im not the only one who regrets it to this day haha. seriously the one i miss the most is my g1 hook, he was my first and he died

[Damolisher]

Yeah, I miss my Turbomasters Scorch and Rotorstorm, I miss my old Stalker, with missile, etc, hell, I miss my European Exclusives, and I miss my old G2 Optimus.

[Creature SH]

I forgot earlier... Snarl. He's in a lot of pieces and I still have most. Unfortunately, there is no fixing him anymore.

[Predaprince]

Most of mine weren't broke, but just got "lost" from my mom selling them when she THOUGHT I was done with TFs.

I do remember that my Jetfire broke quite easily (damn complexity of those Macrosses) and I somehow ended up with none of the tracks that go to Omega Supreme (still a cool toy without the tracks though so no biggie).

[Basketball Jones]

I have no idea what happened to my G2 Slag, but I wish he was still present.

[1337W422102]

For me, it wasn't so much 'breaking' as 'not having' or 'getting secondhand and not having all of the pieces.'

I remember that I used to have G1 Ratchet's sled, but I have no idea what happened to it. I also remember that my favourite Autobot car was Mirage. I let my little brother transform him. "If you don't know now, just ask me," I said. Damn it, he BENT the waist instead of TURNING it. I tried to fix it, but I just broke the piece inside even worse.

I still have Mirage, he's on my shelf with the rest of my G1s/G2s/BW. To this day I haven't tried to fix him. And I haven't let my little brother transform my Classics Mirage!

[buddhaquest]

Bluestreak...

My first TF and the first to get broken...

It still gives me nightmares, even after 23 years.

Classic man, classic.

Your sig is so true, btw.

[ChromedomeMK2]

My G1 Highbrow rotors broke whan I bite it without knowing what I was doing. Then my G1 Rampage broke its right leg.

Was it while you were sleeping or what?

[Windsweeper]

Outback, my first Transformer
Scourge, his wing
Snapdragon
Scorponok's horns though I'll never know how that happened. Was away on holiday, days after i got him and when i returned, the tips were broken off
Ratchet, who's arm keeps coming off since I got him in '89

The following were inherited and damaged
Ramjet
Hot Rod
Mirage
Doubledealer
Prowl (reissue was what restarted my collecting nearly 5 years ago)

[tech348]

My whole G1 collection I left at my mom's house when I moved out with my now wife. My nephews found the collection and poof all gone. About 100-150 bots and cons

[Goribus]

I had a bad habit of putting Gestalts into my Transformers box fully assembled. I had a vast collection of headless Combiner components. Megatron broke from over use. Jazz broke the day I got him and Charlene took him back. Prime's legs snapped off at the hips. I can't remember all the casualties, but I do know that Charlene gave them all away to her then boyfriend's children because she assumed I grew out of them. Bitch.
