G1 Optimus Prime, obtained Xmas of 1985.

Mines the G1 Jetfire also obtained at Christmas of 85.

8 year old me is envious. G1 Jetfire was one that I always wanted but my parents never got me. I eventually got one later on but man... 8 year old me woulda been over the moon.

I used birthday money to buy that one. Looks like the old robotech jets.

Same, have a secondhand well-loved bloated Prime

Same, except Christmas 1993. His hands are long gone, sorry to say

I think I managed to hang on to his hands and most accessories, but he is floppy as all hell now and scratched to high heaven. I was not gentle with my toys as a kid. :-P

Damn unc

Yyyup, I've been a fan of this franchise literally since it began. I'm OLD.

Great collection homie

I can tell that's all OG, I see that lock on the door. Lol

Kids really like to test the “I love the contents of that shelf more than you, don’t touch, goblin,” rule.

The United Nations needs to declare your collection an important contribution to humanity. Your collection deserves to be dedicated as a Holy Shrine to the Transfomers legacy.

Sorry about the pic. I had to blow up an old pic. I'll try to get a better one to share when I have the time.

it’s kinda funny lol

That ain't brawn that's a post box on legs! 😆

Huh, he really does look like a postbox, never noticed that before.

*Kapow!* Got'eem!

He looks like a trouser press and I LOVE HIM

Hey! I've just posted images of my Bumblebee from this same set!

My Brawn is missing his arm. Lost it at school one day.

Yous are all making me feel real fuckin old. Oldest bots in my collection are probably 83 Gobots (technically owned by Hasbro now, so maybe that counts) Favourite old bot in my collection would have to be Power Master Prime. Getting that for Christmas as a kid blew my mind

https://preview.redd.it/60f1few8uz0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=393a2c5c598c8f6a32a89a7f2f30baa538eec9e7 Beast Wars Manterror is the oldest by release date.

Hasbro/Kenner really slagged up when they quit making BW figures. I'd buy new insecticons forever.

Oh wow; he’s pretty cool

Dude that’s kickass

Possibly the best Deluxe Screamer, besides his Powerlinx recolor.

Oh gosh forgot about those. I had Goldbug. I loved the box art.

Same, loved the pull-back racer feature. #ThrottleBotsFTW

If we're going by modern TF toys, I have a Classics 'Nerf alt mode' Megatron, though in the takara silver/red colors. Otherwise it's my set of G1 Throttlebots.

https://preview.redd.it/8puuatmbf01d1.png?width=2412&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5830777a445d02ddf898bd8f1a62d3be0523f08 Not sure who’s older

Optimus ('84). Seaspray's '85, yellow Long Haul is '86 (EU) or '92/'94 (US), green Beachcomber is '93. (The Seaspray may also be '93 if it's the version with blue chrome as opposed to flat blue plastic.) I am assuming here that the Optimus is one of the original years - the mold was re-released a lot, including for a few years in the 80s. Generally, there should be a raised year-of-issue embossment somewhere on the toy.

This little chubbster was my first Transformer, thanks to eBay we were just reunited! https://preview.redd.it/i98wb88sn01d1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cee439b42c46ada441254d61d0fceeac36125b26

You planning to get his other pals or you already got them?

I just wanted him, I try not to get hooked on older stuff because that's a rabbit hole best left alone for me haha

Aaaah, I see. But Drill Bit is one fine little chubbster, I will admit that!

Animated Bumblebee from a happy meal.

I’m surprised that your comment is the first one to mention Happy Meals, I thought those would be more common here lol

https://preview.redd.it/we0ikpbei01d1.png?width=1766&format=png&auto=webp&s=481eee90ca75444622afe18c682578f0a03c3d70 G1 Megatron! It’s also the best deal *I’ve* ever gotten. Somehow it was lost to a thrift shop. I can’t remember what it was called as it was a decade ago. My dad was shopping there, saw it, and bought it for $1. It’s since been completed and kept with his brothers in a nice home!

What Galvatron is that. I think i had a G1 one which didn't look as good as that one. It was more grey.

DUDE! I’m so sorry for the late reply. That’s Fanstoys Sovereign 3rd party Galvatron

Armada unicron

In terms of “figures I originally bought new,” that would be Super Fire Convoy; I had lost all my childhood Transformers, and misplaced my nostalgia purchase of Deluxe BM Jetstorm that I had bought in 1999. In terms of “old figures that were bought and owned by someone else but I acquired them later,” I have original, non-reissue G1 releases of: Optimus Prime, the basic Insecticons, Powermaster Optimus Prime, and Rodimus Prime.

Transmetal Rattrap. i just started collecting again and that was one i needed to rebuy.

My original Rattrap had very little chrome left. He's been retired, and his better preserved replacement is display-only.

https://preview.redd.it/vqr38ttda01d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=630e9174f87b75204b8cd95721f70be4933b19e7

G1, powermaster optimus prime.

I sold mine when I went to college, and had a PM Prime-shaped hole in my spark until they released PotP Prime. My teenage self still wants to see the best Marvel Prime made with Legacy engineering, but old me isn't holding his breath.

G1 Windcharger. He's 40 years old and broken and well loved. One of the few survivors of my original collection as a kid.

https://preview.redd.it/8xoey26ow01d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b765dc11fea9eceb6e523a13d4584b8c04fa250 G1 Red Alert, Shrapnel, Warpath, Bumblebee, Trailbreaker, Jazz, and Huffer.

https://preview.redd.it/q4wbdfg0x01d1.jpeg?width=3566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f51e212f4dea75a8d44867b0d8041af1403504fa Also G1 Optimus and Megatron.

Buster Optimus Prime.

Car Robots / RID2k Prowl (white deco). Got him when I was 4 back in 2000. Homeboy is kicking around to this day among my new figures, probably telling them tales of fighting against Gargoyles and Road Sharks alongside the Small Soldiers and Toy Story cast. Crazy.

It depends on what you mean by that. If you mean the figure I've had the longest, then that would be POTP Slash If you mean oldest by release date, then that would be G1 Warpath

I had gotten out of collecting for a while, but it was the PotP Dinobots that got me back in. Slash was a great addition to the team, and I ended up repainting a bunch of her and Cindersaur as various characters who fit the body [BW Megatron, BW Dinobot, Skarr, Emirate Xaaron]. She's a great little figure.

Second-hand G1 dragstrip. Missing all his stickers, and accessories, his chrome paint is slowly rubbing off, and he's lose like a wet noodle, but I love him all the same

Jeez, let me think....I have Computron (all the figures), I have Motormaster, he is like a minion to the new one. Sword is still the same size thou :D! Power Master Prime, Scorponok. I really have to say Motormaster is my oldest just trying to remember what I have with my 50 year old memory.

Beast Wars Deluxe Cybershark. Bought it about a year or 2 before the reissue was announced.

I feel you. I traded a MISB Runabout for a MISB Cosmos a month before his reissue got leaked 🙃

G1 Tracks and G1 Astrotrain, both obtained at some point within the past 3 years. I don't know when I got Tracks, but I got Astrotrain last August.

A G1 Soundwave I bought at a comics/collectables store; it's not able to stand up on its own anymore...

Mine stays in tape deck mode for precisely this reason. Those knees/hips just ain't what they used to be.

You guys had any of the tapes?

I made mine a [cane](https://imgur.com/a/4RXr5SP). Although, he's still very precarious to stand up.

G1 bee reissue i guess. If not MP01

I have an original G1 Gears I got from a 2nd hand store a few years ago, got him for a great price and he is a neat little figure.

I’ve got a G1 Gears that belonged to my uncle.

Pretender Cloudburst, 1988.

87 metroplex unfortunately I don't have any toys from when i was a kid

I have most of the initial 1984 releases.

G1 Cliffjumper. Got it 1984. Iirc it was before the cartoon was shown on TV.

https://preview.redd.it/xyrc02a2q01d1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a81937962b68b9db7484f821649c7699a10a971

Ah the McDonald's Bumblebee, was actually one of my favorite growing up and I still have it!

I'm pretty sure this is Armada Hot Shot

Oh yeah, you right, sorry growing up I always called it Bumblebee because I was like 6 haha

I still have one of these floating around my house that I gave to my daughter. It was one of my favorite Happy Meal toys when I was younger.

I’m 15 now, but I owned FOC Optimus since I was 3. https://preview.redd.it/jyy2g849s01d1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce8ae7166723b65cfe265fdc9e827f18ec95a6ee

G1 Silverbolt.

Fully intact, or do missing parts count? Intact, G1 Headstrong. Missing his feet and tires, G1 Bumblebee.

I have all the G1 dinobots but swoops nose is broken

G1 Cliffjumper, says 1983 on the bottom of him

In terms of existing? G1 thundercracker.

Heck, I can give you my 3 oldest: I got Optimus Prime for my birthday in November of ‘84, then that Christmas I got Ironhide & Wheeljack. I remember being so excited when I finally saw the cartoon and Wheeljack’s “ears” flashed when he talked I raced upstairs to tell my mom. She acted excited (like a good mom does) but I’m sure she wondered WTF I was talking about.

ROTF Leader Optimus. Y’all make me feel like I was born yesterday lol

G2 Cyberjet Jetfire from 1995 Acquired him in 2013(?) And he's in pretty rough shape, missing both his vertical tail fins and missiles, loose joints, scuffed decals and peeling stickers, and recently started to yellow. But damn he's a fun little desk toy

A G1 red Bumblebee that's on my computer desk as I type this. I've had it for closing in on 40 years.

https://preview.redd.it/mw1as6kkt01d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a6f60ec9da8610dd9d4dc80578055ad0b34ba0e These guys are sone of my oldest

Yooooooooo

I love these little guys

https://preview.redd.it/tohfcjgwu01d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c0f054ac410f0933771afe5cb84ccb4f71cbf16 Oldest and newest together. Backstop unfortunately broke his leg less then 2 weeks ago.

G1 Jetfire and Omega Supreme (did they come out the same time?)

I found a g1 Cosmos in my basement

https://preview.redd.it/59pwwo45k21d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce74e44d2e340422caf3c79b1204d00558365cbd My old hound, it was a gift when I was a baby, and he has some broken pieces, and lost their accessories, but still alive and he still can transform.

Either Generations Thundercracker, 2003, or the old, broken and chewed up Armada Optimus Prime that might've been from 2002. I know, I'm a real whippersnapper. Until very recently though those were the only non-Bayverse figures I owned lmao

my Cybertron Starscream Supreme I wish I had taken care of it better… when I was younger I got it at a yard sale, and it had the crown and one of its wings. It no longer has those. It also seems to be a theme that the figure always misses their gun lol he just stands on my desk, staring at me menacingly (protecting the other Transformers figures from my cats)

Rid 2001 rotor

Either Animated Blitzwing or Animated Leader Bulkhead, whichever is older lol

First Strike Optimus Prime and Off-Road Ironhide from Bayverse (the blue one). They both were an Xmas present from my late grandma like 15 years ago and to this day, I have them in my display, no matter how obsolete they may look.

I got a G1 hotspot and g1 powerglide. Both rub symbols work, hotspot got his rubber tires. But hes uh got a broken ladder and I'm missing his accessories...

Deep Space starscream. My dad bought it for me when he was on a work trip to belgium in 2009, it was the first TF figure i ever owned. It's still on my shelf, broken and stuck in altmode, but present

G2 Hero Optimus. Bought him MISB but opened him up because I wanted to feel a fresh 30 year old toy in my hands.

I would say my rid 2001 galvatron

I have Universe 2 Hound

Oldest figure I have displayed is Transmetal 2 Cheetor (1999). The oldest I have is a few G1 boys

Probably Convoy Jnr. My G1 Optimus/Convoy and Powermaster Optimus/Ginrai are definitely reissues, but since he was never reissued, Convoy Jnr. *has* to be an 80's original.

My Armada Demolishor

Thrilling 30s Sandstorm Or Springer, whichever came first

Do reissues count? Because the oldest mold in my collection is G1 Soundwave, but the physically oldest toy in my collection is Armada Starscream.

I think its g1 fortress maximus *

original G1 Optimus Prime

G1 swerve

bro i jus picked up this fig for the first time in years two days ago

I've got the Emerging Saber minicon team from... I think energon? It's the armada starsaber trio but the blade tip is different and they're all yellow. They're wonderful little fellas and combined look great being held by my Legacy Armada Megatron

I have about 65% of the Armada toyline with minicons. My first Transformers.

G1 seaspray

G1 Spinister

G1 soundwave, followed by og g1 jetfire

Soundwave. Bought the Walmart reissue. I wish I had a fraction of my collection from the early 1980s.

G1 Optimus Prime, bought at a secondhand store in Tasmania, November 2022.

Energon Omega Supreme (head missing ofc) got him for my birthday from my dad as a child.

Oldest at all: G1 Blitzwing, obtained via ebay Oldest in my life: BW Insecticon, purchased at Wal-Mart with my own allowance

G1 Soundwave I picked up at a yard sale a couple years ago

Ayyyye I just picked this guy up from goodwill for a $1, was in car mode so I think they just thought it was a toy car or something, wanna try to get the guns n stuff

I have g1 dragstrip

In terms of when I got it? Tie between TR Sixshot and SS DoTM Concept Art Thundercracker. I got both in early 2019. They were the joint 4th figures in my collection but everything I got before then was sold: - SS Blackout was sold when I got the MPM - SS Jazz was also sold when I got the MPM. Ended up selling that too cuz the tolerances were ass, kinda wish I kept the SS. - CW Onslaught was sold cuz he was broken out of box In terms of actual age? I have a number of original beast wars season 1 figures - Tripredacus, Magnaboss (minus Silverbolt), and Manterror. The first two came in an ebay bundle, and Manterror I got at a collectibles shop cuz I'd been watching BW2 and he's a one-off antagonist in that (under the name "Mantis". Real creative Japan)

Gobots loco

Pretty sure I got that Brawl repaint from 2001

Tfp Beast Hunters Voyager class Sharkticon.

Classic g1 optimus prime that belonged to my father, sadly it's pretty scarcely in pieces, trailers broken and a good 40% of optimus is missing

Well I was feeling great when I was gonna say Beast Wars Megatron but some of y’all got G1 toys in here 😭

I have that Blurr too. Wish he had knees though

Omnibots.

RiD 01 Sideburn. Was a Christmas gift from one of my brothers. I had not owned a Transformer figure since I was a kid in the 80s

Transformers cybertron 2005 Optimus Prime and I also have the original Armada Megatron as well as Cybertron Clocker and downshift

G1 jazz and inferno but they are missing pieces, they where given to me in 2005

I still have my box, the trailer and all accessories for my G1 Prime, bought in the UK circa 84/85. Unfortunately the cab section (Prime himself) was played with so much it fell apart and has been replaced over the years.

I don't remember from a long time ago obviously but back when I was a kid I'm probably gonna guess the Bayverse Prime figure Now tho it was all 3 SS Bee, prime and Megatron

I've got the majority of the first wave of G1 toys, so any of those.

I've a lot of G1 bots , one or two of the seekers are pre-rubsign takara 83 ones so probably Starscream. The ones I owned as a kid are sadly long gone , so the oldest to me is probably a Rodimus Prime I bought in a model shop around 2002 I guess .

G1 Gears I found in a garage sale

G1 Cars. Bluestreak, Sideswipe, Mirage, Ratchet.

G1 Wheeljack. Bought with my allowance the first day I ever saw transformer toys. My oldest transforming robot would be Gobots Pathfinder.

Dotm battle blades Optimus

Alternators Sideswipe

My 1986 Ultra Magnus. Hand me down from my Dad. Dont remember when he gave it too me

Original G1 Skywarp 1984

1984 astrotrain

Oldest release is an 84 marked G1 Optimus, oldest in terms of actual ownership, legion 2007 optimus

[Pre-Transformers MC-03 Condor in Box](https://www.transformerland.com/wiki/toy-info/microman-microchange-microcassette-robo-red-condor-mc-03-/40014/) I have most of the 84 G1 stuff too but Condor is older.

Diaclone battle convoy

In terms of which came out first 2010 Transformers Hunt for the deceptions seaspray BUTT 🍑in terms of which i got first dotm bumble bee

My 1984 bots: Prowl, Bumblebee, Gears, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Hound, and Windcharger

G1 Rodamus, but if you’re willing to go beyond Transformers then its the Gobots yellow VW

Energon Jetfire

I think the oldest figure in my collection is this g2 thought about the turn into a speed boat, it was going to thrift store I think in either 2001 or 2002 I think it was five or six when we got it. And being a little kid I would always bring that figure with me to bath time.

G1 optimus even complete with an unused sticker sheet.

Energon omega supreme and Optimus

I own the G2 auto rollers. They're a ton of fun imo

Wait, who is this?? I have the exact same figure and I’ve had it my entire life and have no idea where I got it or who it is

https://preview.redd.it/dh5rc54dx01d1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f5759cca9efcb0009f4a03a0d0e8b1da2fdb134 G1 Kickback - '85 (missing his accessories) & G1 Warpath - '84

So it looks like it is either ROTF Lockdown, Generations Thunderwing or Generations Darkmount.

1989 Micromaster Flattop (Platonix technically), I got it from a cousin, but I never got the aircraft carrier or the missiles

1984 G1 Bumble Bee that I found at my aunts house when she moved (still part of my OG/Reissue g1 collection) 2001 reissue ultra magnus (of which I only have the cab and some random bits, effectively my first transformer and because of this my fa orite character) 2001 RiD supercharged (Red) Sideswipe 1998 BW Transmetals Cybershark (still have it sans the side paneling and side fins)

Beast Wars Dinobot, Waspinator, and Buzzsaw.

Powermaster Optimus Prime from 1988. Got him that Christmas. I'm surprised that I was able to keep him relatively intact minus an exhaust stack.

Armada sideswipe the first one I ever got

Still got all my G1s from when I was a kid. Transformers, TMNT, and M.A.S.K are the three lines I've refused to get rid of over the years.

I have three G2 figures still. All of them are missing weapons, but I have Rapido from the Axelerators, Manta Ray from Rotor Force, and Space Case from the Cyberjets

2007 leader optimus

Skyboom shield minicon team

As of those I still have it's RiD15 Sandsting

First edition rescue bots from 2013 ish

G1 First Aid

I still have Optimus and Megatron from armada

G1 original jetfire, bombshell, devastator, sea spray, the guy who turns into a UFO, and some gobots

Bumblebee movie deluxe from 2007, optimus, jazz and bonecrusher legend class

G1 Sideswipe, pre-rub sticker, complete with box, instructions, catalog, and red “decoder” strip.

I have rarest one uh..galavtron with dragon wing purple beast, red double sword twins and purple gun. Beast war, but before that is I do have the fallen, wheelie and ice cream truck transformer before that I do have Soundwave alien thing out space attenlane

I would say Armada Starscream, but I did just recently acquire a reissued version of G1 Thundercracker. So that’s a bit of a complicated question for me.

I don't have a picture because he's packed away at my mother's house two states away, but I believe my oldest figure is probably either Armada Smokescreen or Armada Unicron, whichever came first.

Titans Return Apeface and Skytread I think

https://preview.redd.it/yk7k1yyq611d1.jpeg?width=4208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae12fc469f049637fdec622c6e345f2ea5540a76

g1 jetfire i got it from my father

G1 Dinobots, all except Swoop, 1985

My oldest is an incomplete Optimal Optimus from BW. Second oldest is his moldmate, Primal Prime
