My first were all G2. I had G2 prime, G2 jazz, Turbofire, Rapido, and G2 megs. I love them all and miss them dearly...... so many ruined toys, I was one dumb kid.

Hmmmm, that's going back a while.
My first transformers were Daicron(Diclone) imports before Tf ever came out. I had a red sunstreaker for sure and black Ironhide I think. I also had a 15 bot combiner that was similar to vehicle Voltron from that line.
For actual TFs it was Prime, Megs & Soundwave for sure. Probably Rumble & Ravage rounded out the first 5.

Within the following year from what I remember:
2. Grimlock
3. Swoop
4. Hound
5. Downshift-There had to be more to this list because I remember getting him in the mail, and of course I would have had to have the points for this.

It's actually interesting to see what era all of our members got their first toys in. Nothing wrong with BW, it helped bring me (and a lot iof others) back to the hobby.
Besides, if you had the right versions of Prowl, Ironhide and Silverbolt, then you could have formed Magnaboss.

Re: The First 5 Transformers You Had as a Kid
Let's see if...the first three I know for sure...the next two are...iffy.
Transmetal Tarantulas
Armada Megatron
Hot Shot
Armada Smokescreen
Armada Starscream
And of course I've lost my Tarantulas before I even knew who he was (I just this summer saw beast wars all the way through) ah well.
