Your first Transformer(s) ...

Everyone's collection needed to start somewhere.
So if you can remember, what was your first Transformers Toy(s)?

My first TF's were a G1 Grimlock and Skywarp that my Dad bought for me for a quarter a piece at a garage sale when I was 4.

Starscream... and, just talking transforming robots, Cykill. Which I got at about the same time, though I was a bit young for Starscream. Played with (and presumably got given) more toys as I was growing up, got some of the Ladybird books, then got into the UK comic later on.

I'm actually pretty young for the original era of this fandom...

I believe my collection started with one of those g2-gobot like spychanges Ironhide and Sideswipe. Then, later, Beast Wars Cheetor.

I beleive my first Transformer was either Ironhide or a gobot helicopter that I don't know the name of. Both of them are still around here somewhere, though I'm not quite sure where.

I didn't really get into Transformers until Beast Wars, though. And I wouldn't even have gotten into that if I hadn't stumbled upon it while flipping channels. My first Beast Wars figures where Drill Bit and Airazor.

My first TF was the Gas Skunk/Slapper/Nightscream RiD 3-pack. My mom said if I learned to transform them all, she would buy me Optimus Prime. What she didn't tell me was that it was Armada Optimus...

Powermaster Optimus Prime (not the reissue) back then I thought it was the original but always bugged me how come in the show he never used the trailer for the full transformation lol

Oh yeah! I almost forgot the little Vehicon I got. The reddish-purplish motorcycle one. lol... Of course I can't think of his name now, but I was like 5 when I got him.

I think it could be one of the protectobots, but the first one i specifically remember being given was Sludge which i got when in hospital.
I got into them quite late really due to re-runs of the show on SkyOne in the early 90's ( roughgly when i was 7 or so), i was to young to appreciate the original run and didnt help that i lived quite far from civilisation really ( for those who know of them i lived in the Outer Hebredies sp? off of Scotland ).

The first transformer I got was G1 Snarl and he's been my favourite Dinobot since. The first Transformer in my house was my brother's second-hand Rachet. We were young and thought he was crap because he was missing his head. Turns out he wasn't, he just "Looks" that way

Edit: I know this is an old thread, but in case it gets "revived", I just realised my first Transformer was Gears. I forgot about that little guy... <.<

The first one I had as a kid was Sideswipe. I restarted 10 years ago with the G2 combiners and Optimus.

My first TF was the yellow Cliffjumper variant. I took him to school and my friends all thought I had Bumblebee. Before I knew anything about TF's I said, "His card says Cliffjumper." They all insisted it was Bumblebee. We were all ignorant, as it turns out.

My second TF was Hound. Saved up to buy him--I think he was like $9 (!!!) I waited all day through school and everything to be taken to the store that night to buy him.

Can't remember who my third TF was. I know I got Megatron for Christmas 1984, but I think I got a couple of others between Hound and him.

It seems like most kids wanted Mirage, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack or Jazz in that first go-round. When the Dinobots arrived in the spring of 1985, stores couldn't keep them on the shelves. My first Dinobot was Snarl. My dad brought him home as a surprise. I nearly freaked out with excitement; it was an unexpected moment.

Ahhhh...TF memories...like the corners of my mind.... <vbg>

My first were Sludge, Frenzy, Ravage and Thrust, shortly there after I got optimus, Mirage, Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Brawn, Sunstreaker, Shockwave, Starscream, Omega Supreme and Trailbreaker. Many on the orginal set I did not have until recently (ei Megatron, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Bluestreak, prowl, Smokescreen, Red alert, Swoop, Blaster.)

Since I am 30 years old, I have forgotten what my very first one was. The more I think about it, I would think it would have been Megatron. I never watched the G1 cartoons at first, I didn't even know they were on TV. Megatron was given to me at my birthday party by one of my friends. It took me a year or more to realize that I had Megatron. I just thought it was a toy gun, I never even realized what it could do. I had absolutely no knowledge of Transformers. Then, as time went by, I started watching Transformers on Saturday Morning Cartoons, and I think, I had abused Megatron by that time, so I never really got a chance to play with him as a transformer.

One of my earliest was Jetfire, and he must have been one of my favorites. I remember playing in the yard with him, it was so much fun.

I do regret playing with them in the dirt, though, because I wish I could still have them. I had my share of them back in the day, and that is why I am so into the re-issues now-a-days.

I want to add something here. Sunstreaker was also a favorite of mine. I never had sideswipe, but when I did get Sunstreaker, I played with him at or national park, and had many fun times. Unfortunately, I think I broke the arm off at the time. I know Sunstreaker was one of my earlier ones which I owned.

Optim Shi · Post by **Optim Shi** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 10:50 pm

My first one was Sunstreaker. It went well with my brother's Sideswipe (in that they were brothers, too).

Was a great toy and I can't wait until they resissue it since I'd love another for nostalgia reasons. Of course, I'd probably not break the head off of again...

[edit]
In reading this thread, I get the feeling that my first figure may have been Hound like the poster above. Still one of my favorite figures and I love the Alternator version as well! Again, I broke the head off that one, too. Looking back, that seemed to happen fairly often :P

I received 4 little ones for my birthday (7th I think) in order- Pipes, Bumblebee, Warpath, Outback

Justin · Post by **Justin** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 7:39 am

The earliest ones I remember owning as a child are skullgrin and tentakill.
I remember after that getting Fireflight and hotspot at a yard sale when I was fairly young. Seems like there may have been a G1 prime of some sort in there.

Ravage · Post by **Ravage** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 2:57 pm

Christmas 85, Gears, Prowl and Prime in that order.

Crankcase.

What do you mean, you don't know who he is?
