My family didn't have a lot of money when I was a kid so I din't get to play with Maximus Prime or Starscream, two of my favorite toys from that time. But I did have a Transformer that would turn into a Train and a Spaceship. Does anyone know who that was? I'll have kids some day, you can bet I'll be playing with theirs.

That would be Astrotrain (clever name eh?).

Maximus Prime? That old fart? He never had a toy.

I remember playing endlessly with the Constructicons when I was a kid. I had the whole set. When all the other girls were playing with Barbies and My Little Pony, I was running raids on their beach-houses and corrals and pissing them off by blowing their stuff up... ahh, memories! :-P

I traded a load of wildlife cards for a G1 Grimlock when I was younger - no regrets on that one apart from the fact I broke him horribly

Indeed it is Astrotrain, one of the first triple changers and he's part of my collection which I cannot even keep track of how many I have these days as I've been collecting for a little more than four years now, mostly the G1 line.
I only had a handful at best back in the 80's I think they were all the seeker jets but I'll have to post some pics of my collection some day.

Astrotrain.
Only toy I had was Unicron. I was really rich and my parents were thinking of getting me a Powerlinx Prime but I didn't want to feel spoiled so I told them not to.
Now I want that Prime pretty badly.
