This is pretty simple, what is the first Transformer(s) that you purchased as an adult?
For me, it would be a few Beast Wars figures in I believe early '99. I picked up TM2 Dinobot, Ramulus, Scarem and Optimus Minor. I had only seen an episode or 2 of Beast Wars but was litreally salivating at the idea of new Transformers on the toy shelves.
I didn't buy many new TF's for a while after that mainly because I hated Beast Machines.
Ebay and later the TRU resisues and Classics/Universe eventually got me buying Tf's regulalry again.

Lol. I think the next ones I got were some armada SCFs and SCF Thundercracker. Then I got HOC Skywarp from eBay, hated the stupid light piping in the head, and swapped his head with SCF Thundercracker.

20th Anni OP and Alt Silverstreak, on the same day ('Streak at TRU, and Prime at Wal-Mart), a week or so after Christmas that year. Both on discount, OP dramatically so (his box was nearly shredded, and the manager agreed to take off a decent bit for that).

As an adult? That would be when I got back into TF's when I discovered the TF section on E-Bay.
My first two purchases (can't remember which came first) were G1 Grimlock and G1 Rodimus Prime (both incomplete)

For me, probably Alt Smokescreen, followed closely by TRU Reissue Hot Rod, and 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime. I would have been 20 or 21 at the time.

I got back into collecting when I was 18, and the first tfs I collected were either the Energon Aerialbots or G1 Snaptrap and G1 Rampage, I don't know exactly which was first, probably ordered the G1s first, and while they were on route I bought the aerialbots in the stores...

Really? Judging by the size of your collection (and number of WSTs especially
), I would've thought you've been collecting for years!

I was originally out looking for Armada toys for my lad (Half-Pint!) who was 5/6 at the time.
I had seen the cartoon show with him and was familiar with the brand.
I was in TRU and saw the re-issues, that led me to start researching to see what others there were and why some Armada toys hadn't hit the UK, or if they were available via Ebay etc.
Then I found this site.
Then I found the Takara TFC.
Then I found that things like Auto Assembly happened.
Now my wife hates you all

Hey, you've got three years over me...
How old would an adult be? I never quit buying toys, so my first would have been something I got for a birthday a few years back, if, you can call me an adult.
In my case, a forgettable experience regardless.
