These are heavily playworn and broken. This is due to my relatives [younger lost/broke a lot of it and i got it back in this condition, but i broke the scorponok when i was about 8 {it was my christmas present, it broke as i used to bash them together}].

The autobot toys were tougher [and less partsy] than the decepticons. Look at all the seekers without accessories.

I gave all of mine to my nephew, who was 7 years younger than I. I did not get any of them back.

I did however get from him the Ultra Magnus Cab which started the quest that brought me here in search of parts.

My brother and I had a few but only a few escaped "total" destruction. Blitzwing has a broken wing, one missle, the gun is around somewhere, but I still have the turret. Ramjet was missing most pieces and still is. Thrust, one of my last ones, was alright, missing landing gear and shorter missles. Kick back missing antenna and gun. That is it for the decpticons. My first, Jazz is totaled, I still have the remains but he's in a box. Side swipe, missing weapons and both windows to the doors. Sunstreaker, missing weapons and wing. Trailbreaker, totaled and parted out. Foot removed for another. Wheeljack, have one missle and launcher, no canopy or wings. Mirage, broken and repaired (by Dad) no weapns. Tracks, missing weapons, divers doorbroken and repaired (By Dad again). Rodimus Prime, figure only. A bunch of minibots. And finally Superion. My brother and I got the gift set for birthdays. Missing little guns only. My G1 collection has grown since from the flea market and, unfortunately, dumbay.

I managed by the god only knows what kind of luck to hold on to seaspray, but that was it. I only managed him because he was actually lost for quite a few years.

I kept all my originals, 80 or so, they were my most prized possession. Although some are quite worn from constant playing very few were broken and none by me. My prowl was broken twice by friends, my hooks leg also by a friend, and my vortex by my wife when we were first married. (she felt horrible and will now barely touch one, but she loves seeing me happily play with them). I also lost only one gun, breakdowns, which I since replaced.

i think i have most, if not all, of mine. I think my Prime was the only one to be destroyed beyond recognision. I might have to get them out of their storage bag and take a picture.

Commander Megatron · Post by **Commander Megatron** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 3:18 pm

Yes do!! Get the pics up!

Still have all my first ones, though they are all in varying degrees of 'functionality'. My first one ever was a G1 Starscream that I brought from a car-boot sale, missing all his bits but he did still manage to transform into a 'rocket'. Hes been repaired several times now due to the amount of play that he got but has now been retired due to his die-cast body being snapped.

Sadly my whole collection was sold off when I stopped playing with them. My Optimus Prime got me $10 at a flea market around 15 years ago. I'm sad I let that go, he was my favorite toy. I did manage to hang on to my Reflector though. I refused to sell him since I had saved up all the points to get him. All his camera parts are intact, but I'm missing the weapons and missles.

Thrust · Post by **Thrust** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 2:44 pm

Well at least you still have reflector, hes rather expensive to get now.

Ohh and welcome here Huffer, I didn't notice if you paosted an introduction yet or not but good to have you aboard.
