The Energon Pub

Well my very first was when I was... I think 8 or 9, wasn't really watching Energon then, but got Energon Scorponok. He was my very first. I was watching Armada then

So what was your very first Transformers Toy?

G1 Mixmaster (Still got him too)

beast wars optimus prime about 10+ years ago. i had such a hard time deciding b/t him and megatron

G1 gears, one of the few originals that I still own.

Twin Twist - must have been '84 - he's probably in the loft somewhere.

1984... wow!

my first TFs were Cromedome, Hun-grr, Crankcase, Quickmix, Power Master Optimus Prime, Quake, and Metroplex

Megatron was the very first TF I owned, back in 1984.

The local Toys R Us had just gotten the very first wave in and Megatron and the min-cars were all they had(on an isle end-cap). GoBots had been out for a few months already so I had a few of those but Transformers were brand new and I was waiting(very impatiently I might add) for them to come out. I was calling Toys R Us on an almost daily basis to see when they came in.(the employees were probably sick of hearing from me no doubt). This was early 1984 if I remember correctly? I was in fourth grade. Luckily my Mother did not mind paying the "high" $19.99 price tag as in my haste to find out if the Transformers were indeed in stock I didn't bother to check the price!
Incidentally, my Mother bought my nephew a yellow cliffjumper while we were there as well. I was the envy of my fourth grade class as the only other person that owned a real Transformer at that time was a kid with G1 Thundercracker.

So I blame Megatron for my TF collecting obsession, its all his fault!

Mine was G1 Prime,
Got him for Xmas in '84.
Never looked back

Gaaar,

G1 Sunstreaker. Still have him too.

G1 Soundwave, Buzzsaw (of course), Ravage, and Frenzy (or Rumble. The Red One) I got them for Christmas!

Wow a lot of 1984's. Most of you guys must be very big collectors... unlike me who has only 3-5 series.

I got mine in 1984 as well. But I didn't get a whole lot of G1 Transformers after that. I have about a dozen or so. No more than 20, that's for sure. Then I stopped just before the Headmasters started. And I started collecting again this year. So, you may have more than I do.

G1 Prime for me too!!

Energon Prime. Luckily, i sold it then got Cybertron Prime.

i really can't remember...back in 84-85 i was more of a Joe collector (plus being a growing toddler at that time!), my parents said they bought me a Grimlock back then, but the earliest that i can remember having aside from Joes were Micromasters, Sparkabots, Targetmaster Sureshot, i'm sure i had more but really can't exactly remember...

fast forward, the very first TF i got after all those years was Cybertron Smokescreen. yeah, a G1 homage to get you back into collecting again.

:MAX:

G1 Grapple. Then Hoist, Ramjet and Astrotrain. More came afterwards but I don't remember the exact order. But I still love that Grapple to this day. It's a wonder it's still standing straight considering the number of times I took it apart...

lol same as mine...i think...i had a few mini tfs, Beachcomber and Powerglide and Sunstreaker, but i cant remember what came first...i think it was the OPs for xmas 84...but dont quote me

My first was none other than G1 Megatron -- would've probably been '85. I still have him although he's in well played condition.

i remember the old days,when i got my very first TF in the 80's. it was chromedome, then misfire, grotusque, horri-bull, 3 pretenders (forgot the name), one seacon, and 3 micromasters (one of them is erector). too bad, the only thing left is the seacon. the others are gone.
after a long period of "no-TF's", recently i started to collect TF again (TF 2007 movie toyline).

Skywarp circa 1984. Was so excited about him that I got Bumblebee and Brawn a couple of days later. Unfortunately, I need to do some rehab on Skywarp now but BB and Brawn are in good shape.

G1 Megatron & Jazz - Christmas 1984.

g1 soundwave still have him

Cybertron Leader Optimus Prime, six months ago. And I still have him, too
