Ok did you ever have that fought once you look at the prices some of your old TFs grab at ebay, and that TF was the one you played to death?
So which Transformers you own ore owned would you try to protect from yourself if you had the chance to go back in time to prevent yourself from playing with it.

Myn areG2 Laser Prime

And G1 blogeon, (I true the shell away)

Springer and my Dinobots oh and my Turbomasters.

none, the reason? i LOVE playing with tf's, posing them, or just actually playing with lego characters and tf's (BTW if your gonna make a stop motion and you dont kno what human figures r 2 scale use legomen)

[Dead Metal]

Yea O love that too, but now I look on ebay to replace things like my G2 Prime (I have to, he has no legs left )

My dinobots are just like well corpses.
All that's left of Springer his his torso!

I wish I could go back and tell myself not to be too violent with all my transformers. The only one I have that survived my childhood mostly intact is Beachcomber (only his rollbar snapped off). That way I wouldn't have spent so much money re-collecting them (even though it's fun doing so)

Building your army of zombie transformers there?

Me, I wouldn't sell any now. Nor would I change what I did and protect them. I had great fun, many, many hours of many days of many years playing transformers with my little beasties. I would rather have the fun memories of those epic beast wars across my room, than letting them sit there in unopened packaging, just staring at them, all so I could sell them now. Although I was never rough enough to actually damage them, so they are all still in pretty good nick.

I actually discovered that LEGO trick about 10 years ago. I built this full sized house from LEGO and used my Jazz as the owners car with a couple of my brothers G1 guys as traffic. Obviously, when it was time to destroy the house and put it away, the war sort of spilled over into that street.

[Dead Metal]

Most of my Tfs would defnetly be able to fit into my Zombie army

[jazzrules]

I agree with you there Insurgent. Part of the reason that I find Transformers cool now is that I have good memories of when I played with them as a child, so I wouldn't stop myself playing with them - just not play as violently.

Ripping the wheels off of my Pipes figure for no reason. Sure, it was a hand-me down from my brother, and the chrome had been worn of the arms(one white and one black arm, oddly enough), but he's one of my favorite figures! I still can't remember exactly why I did it. Oh well, someday I'll get a better condition one.

Also coloring/painting/markering my yellow Cliffjumper that I got at a Flea Market once. I didn't like him being yellow! When I got the keychain version earlier this year I cleaned up ol' Cliffjumper pretty good, so it's not that bad, but you can still see some of the old black/red lines from where he had been another color.

Other than that, wouldn't really change anything, cept maybe being a little easier on G2 Devastator. I still have most of the parts and weapons that came with the individual figues(missing only one drill, and an extra missle for Mixmaster that never came with mine anyway), but it's quite loose, and has been repaired several times, but oh well.

wow, i kinda had a hard time reading that, but i think I understand what you're saying... I would have gone a little easier on my g1 prime for sure! Actually I would like to go back in time and tell myself to tell my parents that I lost Prime and to ask if they would buy me another one so I could keep him MISB!

[Izanami]

I would go back in time, make my bro get Transformers instead of GI Joes, then make him keep them nice and in tact. It doesn't matter if HIS childhood memories of playing with his toys get ruined. Me? He only let me play with one GI Joe and a small vehicle while he played with his hundreds and his giant base playset....so forget those memories!

[MaP_Prime]

I don't think I would go back in time and stop myself from playing with my toys, but I would try and convince my younger self to take better care of my Transformers. One of my all time favorites G1 Wheeljack is nothing but a rusted hulk now... and I really really wish I had kept him in better shape. I would also make sure my G2 Constructicons be preserved better then in a pile of toys in a box in the basement. I once had all six and now my Long Haul is missing as are most of the parts for Devastator. The surviving five are not in bad shape, but their stickers have faded and alot of their parts are loose. I would also try and make sure none of my older toys were kept intact, I got a purple G2 Decepticon jet with his tail wings snapped off, I have a Thunderclash that is almost 100% except at some point his right hand came off.

I would also make sure my G2 Dinobots were looked after better. Grimlock's and Slag's joints are pretty loose and they are pretty badly scratched up. My Snarl is in good shape except a kid snapped one of his legs in half when I was younger just because he decided to do something mean on the last day of a day camp were went to. Also I had a Terrorcon, the one that was purple and transformed into a condor or something like that, given to me by my grandfather. He's actually in decent shape, but his right wing is snapped in half. Wish I had kept better care of that one since my Grandfather always knew I loved Tfs and now that he's gone I'd like to have one I could remember him by.
