New to the boards, and diving back into collecting - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

Hello my fellow Canadian Tf fans (and any international ones out there)

I'm a new member to the boards here and on TFW2005 (same username). I've always been a fan of transformers since my dad let me watch the g1 re-runs that aired when I was a littler one.

My first TF was a g2 minicon Seaspray (still got him and I pre-ordered I-gear's immediately for the nostalgia). I'd say the rarest pieces in my collection are a g1 Jetfire (the one that is the exact same mold as my VF-1S from Macross 25 anniversary lol,) g1 reflector and G1 prime all of whom I was able to salvage from my grandparents toybox before my younger cousins completely obliterated them. (It was sad seeing their deterioration in shape from the time when my brother and I played with them.)

For a long time I only picked up singular characters or simply cool looking tf's as I saw them, but as of the summer I decided to dive right back in to the plastic crack pool. Since August I have added MP-03G Starscream Ghost Ver. (absolutely wicked looking) MP-08 Grimlock, MP TRU Hot Rod, Soon to have MP-09V2 and MP-10 as well (they're on route), as well as, PE-11X, Flameblast and the Fansproject Crossfire 2 Bruticus w/ add-ons.

...

My wallet isn't on speaking terms with me right now.

My question for everyone is what was your first Transformer toy?

Hope to get to know some other tf fans on here and when I move back to Toronto once I'm finished Uni on the rock, get out to TFcon, if not before then.

Welcome!

Answer to your question: G1 Thundercracker.

And my wallet divorced me recently. We are looking at to settle on an agreement soon, however I sense with TF:Prime on the horizon we may never speak again

Welcome to the Boards my friend...my bank account and I are going with a trial separation,where I'm sure he's being frivolous with coffee shop girls.

mine was G1 Squeezeplay, I had since 5 and still do, didnt even know what transformers were at the time, and what introduced me was BeastWars even though it was in English which I didnt understand

My first tf was a G2 Hubcap. After that it was the a G2 prime with purple legs, G2 Bruticus and Superion and Seaspray. Hmmmm, never did get that Starscream I wanted.

I think technically my first transformer was G2 Bonecrusher, but the first one that I remember getting was G2 Prime. Man that was a good christmas.

Welcome to the boards.

First transformer. Told this before but what the hell, I'll tell it again. Come around sonny boy. Listen to an old man tell you of days of yore. G1 Prime should have been my first transformer. Saved my candy money until I got the $20 that Prime cost. When it came down to purchasing him, he was sold out. Ended up with Prowl and WheelJack instead. Still have Prowl. Wheeljack got traded away, but I got a different one later on.

Gotta say im glad theres another member from NL...there doesnt seem to be very many unfortunatley...so welcome back to the land of plastic crack

Either soundwave, or Whirl, but I think probably whirl ( I had wanted soundwave and ended up getting the other one-eyed robot).

I also distinctly remember having hound and mirage early on.

G2 Sideswipe was my first Transformer, and I've still got him today. He's still got his small gun, but both of his side window parts have been lost, and the same goes for his big giant gun & spoiler piece. His joints are loose & the stickers are barely there... but he'll forever be my 1st.
