Re: Your First:
TransFormer: ...Insecticon Kickback
When acquired: ...1985
How acquired: ... Had just come back from a lifesaving operation I was beat and exhausted. My Mom brought out this little purple box with a black Grasshopper in it. Kickback made my day and started the whole collection (yep it’s my Mom’s fault and I never let her forget it).
Still have, or last sighting: ... Oh Yeah! but he's seen better days. Packed away in a protective case
Condition at last sighting: ... Missing half his head, both antennas, his energon door (pilot canopy), 2 insect legs (half his robot arms) and no weapon.
Other comments: ... One day I’ll fix him up.

Re: Your First:
Transformer: G2 Silverbolt
When acquired: November 1992
How acquired: Bought it with my first birthday money at the age of 6
Still have, or last sighting: Still have him
Condition at last sighting: HA! ...He's in terrible shape, still have all the Superion accessories but his stickers are all rubbed near to the point of totally faded. The fuselage that folds back snapped off, the missile launcher springs are shot...etc. He was well played with and loved.
Other comments: I'd like to get another one day in perfect condition as a reminder of the one that started the madness.

Re: Your First:
TransFormer: ...G1 Thundercracker
When acquired: ...Xmas '85
How acquired: ..."Santa"
Still have, or last sighting: ...Just the main junker body. Since the seekers were mostly partsformers, you can probably guess the likelihood of a 5 yr old losing every piece [answer: 100% certainty]
Condition at last sighting: ...-see previous-
Other comments: ...My brother got Thrust that day (still have his busted-up junker body too) and we spent that day at church. Another boy there had Brawn, which even then seemed tiny and paled in comparison to our awesome new 'Cons.

Re: Your First:
Transformer: G1 Thundercracker
When acquired: 1984
How acquired: Bought for me by grandmother at a drug store
Still have, or last sighting: Gone, easily over a decade ago.
Condition at last sighting: Very used. Missing parts.
Other comments: Saw this amazing new transforming toy in a drug store before a dental appointment, so my grandmother bought it for me to be nice and to keep me preoccupied in the waiting room. Never knew what Transformers were until that day, and shortly afterward discovered there was also an awesome cartoon for it on everyday after school as well as a comic. Within months, I was full fledged into the franchise and never touched my other toys like He-Man, Star Wars, etc. ever again.

Re: Your First:
TransFormer: Original G1 Starscream
When acquired: 1984
How acquired: Christmas gift from parents. At the time, we had no money and my mom said that she'll get us the smaller ones and buy us the bigger ones for our birthdays. Mom was going to purchase Mirage, but being the stupid kid I was, I cried and begged for Starscream so my bro had to get a big one too.
Still have, or last sighting: Parents gave all my Transformers to my little cousin when I grew up. If only I still had all of them.
Condition at last sighting: Everything was in great condition, nothing broken, but obvious the wear and teaer of two boys.
Other comments: I think back and realize my parents were great and even now think about all the sacrifices they did for me and my bro. They're both retired now and enjoy watching their grandchildren. =)
