The first G-1 memory

My first Generation One memory is when my mother bought me a little yellow volkswagon car.
I was bout 9 years old and had no idea what it was.
I seen the transforming instructions on the back of the card.
I ripped the card to shreds as I got to the little yellow vehicle and transformed my first transformer for the first time.

I said to my mother "Look mom, it's like having 2 toys in 1!!!"

Can't really remember my first, but I remember getting Jazz and couldn't figure out how to transform him. Dad did it and I said "Cool! Now turn him back!!!" Dad said "No, you gotta learn how to do it."

i got prime 1st i dint get too many till i became an adult lol

If I had an OP when I was little, I might not have started re-collecting!

mine was when my mum bought me a g1 sludge toy ( which i still have in its origanal box ) cause i liked dinosaurs

Don't know the first memory, but I am sure it is something to do with Starscream....

Rumble.

My first G1 transformer was Megatron. I wore that toy smooth out! :lol: Never broke it but it wouldn't lock into place in either mode by the time I gave him away...My first G1 memory was watching MTMTE on Saturday morning.

Grrr..... you just reminded me-I had hidden my Megs under a chair cushion, forgot about him and sat on it snapping the barrel off. :x

EDIT: When I was a kid! :lol:

OOOOOHHH that's gotta hurt!!! :shock:
Did you find the barrel? :roll:

Yeah, I heard the *CRACK!* right away, and knew what had happened instantly.

i remember loaning my megs to a neighborhood girl to show her parents and she brought him back in 2 lol guess he knows how jazz felt lol

never loan out tfs :evil:

lol duh i know that now lol if the kids touch them i watch them closely lol and actually the 4 year old is the best with them lol

My first memory is saeeing the toys in a cataloge book and getting issue 37 of the UK comic.

Was the *CRACK* in your crack

:twisted:

I remember my first memory of my little brother getting all those cool transformers, I told him to take care of them because they will be a collectable, and he actually listened to me, he has probably 100 transformers now. Keep collecting kiddo.

You did give out some good advice sis!
Thank you for not breaking them whenever I destroyed your stuff :lol!:

The last time i counted was around the 300 mark!!

LOL! My fist memory was getting Cyclonus off my grandma for xmas very nice :D

SIS?

yeah wheelie is galvys sister oh the fun :twisted:

tell us all his secrets and lets see some baby pics of him :lol!:

moohooohahahaha :twisted:

I don't know why I remember this, but my first honest to goodness G-1 memory takes place in Eckerd Drug.

No, I wasn't taking anything. ;)

anyhoo...mom was getting a prescription filled, and I made a bee line for the toy section. I was looking for some new Go-Bots, and since they didn't have any, I wound up thumbing through the coloring books and saw one entitled "Let's Meet The Transformers" or some such.

I remember opening the book, and just inside were drawings of the Autobot and Decepticon symbols. After thumbing through it and finding that the Autobots were good, I remember thinking why in the world wouldn't a group of robots called "Decepticons" not have the symbol with the frowny face on it? Shouldn't bad guys have the unhappy looking face?

Anyhoo...I felt it bore more looking into, so after I begged my mother to buy me one of those lousy Tootsie Toy Go-Bots bubble guns, I went home and started pestering my brother about Transformers.

Kind of a lame memory, but it was the first. :)

So you had to settle for Transformers, eh? Too bad. I still need like 3 colors of those bubble blowers! :)

I wish I had held onto those darn Go-Bots! I had two big shoeboxes full of them at one time. They went the way of gasoline and a package of firecrackers. :roll:

I am just grateful to Transformers and some of the other things I was into back then (and now). It's funny how inanimate objects can make you feel so good, and bring back such great memories!

My first definite memory is me and my cousin both getting optimus at a shared birthday party.
