- Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
Not sure if I was ever really "out", you be the judge.
Watched the original show all the way through, even reruns until 1990. Stopped getting the toys in 1988. Stayed with the marvel comic until it's end in 1991.
Picked up Gen 2 Marvel Comics in 93/94. Started recording reruns of the original series on VHS in 1993 on "Sci-Fi cartoon Quest" early in the morning. Purchased select G2 toys
Purchased select BW toys and watched BW all the way through. watched BM (never got any of the toys). Watched CarRobots (yay! internet and torrent files prior to RiD broadcast in the U.S.), and purchased select car Robots and RiD toys.
watched Armada and Energon. Purchased all DW comics, and select Armada/Energon toys. Watched Cybertron, but never purchased any toys.
I sold my entire Toy collection up t that point on eBay in 2007. Started buying random Animated and movie toys for my son (But stopped getting toys for myself from 2005-2015)
Watched Animated, the live action films, and Prime. Rid15, and Cyberverse
Started getting back into toys late in CW in 2016, and have been collecting select toys from all generations lines since.
I collected all IDW comics from 2005-2018 (end of first continuity), then sold them all on eBay in January 2020.
Currently I really enjoy the Netflix series, and the WFC toys, though each year I seem to get less and less toys. The designs are great, but my collection mainly focuses on Combiners, Titans, and a few other select favorites, and anything that integrates interconnectivity between different toys.
I collected No Prime toys (despite enjoying the series very much). No Rid15 toys (my interest in the show was minimal and my son had some toys), and no toys of Cyberverse as I neither had any interest in the show or the toys. I have also had zero interest in the IDW comics for some time.
I'd say I was never 100% out. But of the 3 facets (Toys, Animation, and Print Media). I am usually only into 2 at any given time, occasionally down to 1. It would be nice if a time came when all 3 were great at the same time...But I guess only time will tell.
Bucket/Want List: Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet (G2 Deco), or Customization Class Ratchet (Marvel Comics Deco) **would also be willing to pay for an Unpainted Botcon 2016 Ratchet, TT Legends Fortress Head (only) with working Electronics
Wish List of Modern Combiners: Road Caesar, Monstructor & Dinoking (proper size to fiction), Landcross, Guard City, Battle Gaia, & G2 Defensor. Wish List of Titans:Metrotitan,Majin Zarak
