When time began...

Post by Elita-One »

Who was more than 5 years old or knows someone that was when transformers first began???
I'm not as knowledgable as some of you, it'd be nice to hear from some people that can actually remember!

Iwas was in fourth grade, and 10 years old.

I was -1 :lol:

I was 4 when the series started, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to watch it until my parents got a vcr and a couple of Transformers videotapes... I think it must have been in the late 80's or something. (I still kinda miss the Swedish dub... it brings back memories :) )
As far as I know TF was never aired by Swedish television, but I think Cartoon Network had some Cybertron episodes not too long ago.

I would've been a year old, but I was far more interested in Masters of the Universe and Rainbow Brite as a kid. I didn't get into Transformers until about two years ago, for which you can thank Rodimus and the Commander...

There was a five part mini series (More Than Meets The Eye) that aired first in the spring, then in the fall, there was the full series.

GI Joe did the same thing in 1983.

I was seven, not as old as some but older than others. There was an explosion of toys, comics, books, cartoons all at once!! Ah, sweet memories.

well i didn't mean for it to be a bad thing, i think its awesome to have been old enough to remember seeing the first toy and the first series, i wasn't even born so i feel very left out...

then again i have always been an outcast (hehehehehe)
