For me:

TransFormer: Trailbreaker
When acquired: Christmas 1984
How acquired: Gift from my aunt
Still have, or last sighting: I think I still have him in a baggie somewhere.
Condition at last sighting: Head is broken, as the pivot mechanism broke, but I had glued it back together.
Other comments: I was disappointed that he had few appearances in the cartoons. My cousin got Sideswipe, so I was jealous

Transformer: G1 1985 Blaster (Close door type)
When acquired: Sometime in Fall of 1986
How acquired: Dad bought it for me
Still have, or last sighting: .Yup, along with all my original TF toys (A humble reminder compared to what I have today)
Condition at last sighting: With all the sandbox adventures and trips to school, he only has some sticker wear and one broken head anthenna
Other comments: I actually got him because my stupid 3 year old self asked my dad for the yellow and red robot (Hot Rod) and my poor french canadian father came home with Blaster, but he was still awesome

How acquired: ... Can't remember, but it was a gift from my parents
Still have, or last sighting: ... God no. I became cool and discovered girls. Now I know better.

TransFormer: Generations Thundercracker

How acquired: Effin' Walmart
Still have, or last sighting: Sold, replaced with Henkei TC which is soon to be replaced by Asia Exclusive TC.

Still have, or last sighting: ...Don't have them anymore. My parents gave all my toys away without asking. I keep looking for them on eBay for a good pricey
Condition at last sighting: ...I had all the pieces for both Carnivac and Optimus. Optimus was scratched up from me using a screwdriver to take the screws out on the waist to try and straighten the legs. I was too young to figure out you needed to use Hi-Q
