Going live now!
I was born in 83 so I didn’t really get to enjoy the 1984 line until later my Grandma found me a incomplete Soundwave and Slugfest at a garage sale . I remember getting a Galvatron & Skullgrin for Christmas one year. The 1st comic I picked up was my cousin gave me the Marvel issue where Skullgrin
becomes a movie star because I had the pretender. I would read the files all the time in the back of the marvel books.
Duron – I played the hell out of SOS Dinobots too!
I was heavy into beastwars and the current stuff but never really collected anything G1 outside of what survived my childhood until I was waiting for my mom at a Borders for lunch and I found Rik’s book with Fort Max on the cover after that I went on a yahoo auction and early eBay binge to fill the gaps I missed as a kid.
My first transformers was bumblebee. I remember very well getting it and remembering how the plastic smelled!! Has it been thrirty two years??? Getting old!!! I still have it by the way. Great show!
I’ll only add Rik if he wants I know how some like to keep business & pleasure separate. Always glad to listen. Now that I’m a dad my Friday nights are in and the show starts just in time after the 20th “go to bed”
this is a great idea
