What was your first Transformer?

[Robimus]

Kind of picked up on this from the Demographic's thread and figure it's something to run with.

My first Transformer(and I am having trouble remembering) was either G1 Jazz or G1 Skywarp. Anyway I know they were the first two. The first transforming vehicle I owned was the little red fire truck Gobot who's name I can't remember right now.
Inferno followed soon after Jazz and Skywarp and my Transformers collection as a kid was off and running.

Classics jet fire was the first for my collection. I had purchased a bunch of tfs before, without the purpose of collecting. I restarted my collection quite recently, and it is tiny. Just tiny.

Kup was my first TF and I still have him!

My first real transformer was G1 TwinTwist and after G1 Aerialbot Air raid ( with a small Whelljack in red rubber) The Small wheeljack have survive and is with my collection, the two other were lost in some moving or probaly given to another child, i don't remember.
Excluding those, other were 1 gobot (a small red hydra-plane) and some cheap generic transforming robots. I remember four red, blue and white robots (probably a McDonalds promo or from some gas station) and a small red pick up with yellow crane on the bed.

It was the issue of 20th prime that started my collection.

My first transformer was Powermaster Optimus Prime. Then a slew of ones gleaned from garage sales.

My very first Transformer ever was G1 Prowl. He also became my first unofficial kitbash when he busted and I painted him all black.

I think that was Pumper. I remember buying one with my allowance and the little dude would not stand up (my first introduction to quality control problems). My mom helped me write a letter, and they sent me a brand new replacement.

G1 Optimus Prime!

My first was a Basic (I think?) Terrorsaur toy from Beast Wars, doesn't really look like the show much but still cool to me. Sadly I didn't really have a chance to get into G1 stuff for some reason or else I might have one of those instead.

I actually dug out my Terrorsaur a few weeks ago though.

G1 Prime, MIB, my dad bought it in 1992 at a garage sale for $1.50

One of the constructicons, then went on getting all 6. that's all i had as a kid. still have it, some broken arms and a bit of rusty, but combines and displays nicely.
