Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!
- Thread starter Ave Destron
- Start date
So I don't have enough space to show the volume of 40 years of collecting TFs but I can do length. Here's my actual first Transformer, a 1984 gift from my Grandmother and my most recent from 2024:
-ZacWilliam, Brawn has had one arm since this almost 48 year old was in First Grade IIRC.

I understand. My first Transformer, the Hound I got for my birthday in 1985, is missing his head.
He'll never be the head of a large corporation now.

The biggest pieces I have left of my first Transformer are the wings, modeled here by a Slugfest I got a few years later.
And here is a modern 'Powerdasher' with a reproduction of the original G1 Packaging my first one came in that I used Robot Points for:

I know I've posted this before, but it seems to go with current discussion. This was my first Transformer I ever received NEW. My first was actually a stripped down Wheeljack that I got from a friend who wasn't that into him. But, I'll always consider Soundwave my first because I got to open the package and play with him from the beginning.
Hey, no need to do Jackie dirty. He's your first, and Soundwave is your first all-new.

Distinctions are fun!
Eh, I've seen worse.
First and most recent.
Self love.

Dangit, stop making me want to buy this.
Honestly, if the toy-accurate version had been available without the trailer, I probably would have bought it. I already have a perfectly good G1 Optimus trailer, and I didn't want to pay an extra $50 for another one just to get the toy version. Not that the Anime paint job version is bad, per se, but it just kind of defeats the point.

I was disappointed that they cut the spring loaded Roller release gimmick, but then I looked at the instructions and discovered that that whole chunk is removable and has wheels and I’m in love with it.
BEEware, the next one is Bumblebee/Cliffjumper
Op looks good, but I'm not getting as I got dozen OPs in my collection, thou I don't own the original, I feel that, I just don't need to buy him
Bumblebee may be one I spring for. He surely can't be TOO expensive, and my wife is a big VW person, so it's something we can both enjoy.
Actually, her real life beetle is orange, so if they could do a Volks version of the mold, that would be great.
Takara: Hold my beer....
I just found an eBay auction for an unpainted test shot of the original orange version of the 1996 Beast Wars Tarantulas figure.
Painted version for comparison:
