Re: ITT: We extrapolate how our lives might be different...
 

If I had've known Beast Wars had a toyline I would've had.. a lot more toys by now! (I still remember the moment when I realized there's toys for these things. By then, it was far too late to find them in stores.)

Five or so years later...

If I had've known Armada (and Energon and Cybertron) had toylines, I would've been in collector heaven. I love bitty toys and the Minicons are irresistably cute! I want to start collecting them one day. c:

I finally clued in with Animated and started collecting. Now if I hadn't clued in that the toys actually exist, I guarantee I would've spent the money on yarn (to make my own robots). But then I would've eventually missed out on bitty Prime!Laserbeak. He's the best! ♥

You knit and/or crochet robots out of yarn? That is pretty awesome!

Hmmm...as a child I often had people buy me the wrong transformers (whirl instead of shockwave, ramjet instead of starscream...My vintage collection would look different if I had gotten the transformers - wanted, but I don't think it would have made me like or hate transformers more.

I do wish I got into classics when they came out. I didn't even give them a chance until Universe 2.0, and then had some catching up to do.
