The Transformers Collection Count & Historical Events Game

[GoktimusPrime]

Here's how it works:
* Count your Transformers toys - ANY method you like :cool: (so long as it produces a number)
* Correlate that number to a year, then tell us at 3 interesting facts about that year!
* You may play as many times as you like as your collection number increases. ;) You may also include both B.C.E. and C.E. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era) years. B.C.E. years will be essential if your collection count exceeds 2015; although you may need to simply round your collection count if there isn't enough exacting historical data for your precise collection count. e.g. If your count is 3383, well, I don't think there's enough data on that exact year, but we do have information about some cool things that happened in that Century (e.g. the Greek city of Troy is built). :)

------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I'll start.
My current TF count is 1866. Here are 3 things that happened in 1866:
The Bread Riots happened in Queensland when 250 men stormed Parliament House in response to work and food shortages.
Italy declares war on Austria on 20/6. The war ends on 12/10 with the signing of the Treaty of Vienna
Alfred Nobel has a blast and invents dynamite, yo!

[GoktimusPrime]

1869:

* William Lanne(y), the last full-blooded Tasmanian Aboriginal, dies. William Crowther (Member for Hobart Town and future Premier of Tasmania), dismembers Lanney's body. He also removed the skull and sent it to the Royal College of Surgeons in London. Even in 1869 this act outraged many people; a brawl ensued outside the Council chambers. Crowther was reprimanded. :rolleyes:

* Mahatma Gandhi is born.

* All Japanese domains are returned to Emperor Meiji, forming a fully centralised government. This is the second year of the Meiji Period where Japan is thrust out of being an isolated feudal society to becoming a modern industrialised nation.

[GoktimusPrime]

1870:
* The fireman's pole is invented.
* In the United States, blacks and women gain the right to vote.
* Japan adopts the Hinomaru ("Circle of the Sun") as its flag.

[Raider]

Well it's probably not 100% accurate (doesn't include my Armada, Binaltech, TP and micros teams are counted as one) but my count is 537 so:
*The construction of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople is completed.
*Battle of Camlann: King Arthur fights his last battle against the forces of his rebellious son Mordred and is mortally wounded.
*Pope Vigilius succeeds Silverius as the 59th pope, when the latter is deposed by Belisarius at the order of Justinian I.

* Convicted murderer William Kemmler becomes the first person to be executed via the electric chair, after intense lobbying from Thomas Edison in his attempt to showcase direct current. The execution goes horribly wrong as Kemmler is slowly cooked; Edison's attempt to curry favour for his DC fails and major contracts for powering New York City instead go to his rival, George Westinghouse (who said that it would have been more humane to execute Kemmler with an axe).

[GoktimusPrime]

* Shearer's strike in Queensland, which would lead to the formation of the Labor Party. This also inspired Banjo Paterson's bush ballad, Waltzing Matilda.

[GoktimusPrime]

:eek: So you're just 15 years old and you have a collection of 2000 Transformers?!? It's taken me 31 years to amass my current collection of 1940! Wow! :eek:

[GoktimusPrime]

Okay, recently acquired a few more toys, but also decided to remove some toys that I'm currently selling from my count. So now I'm on: 1941 (UCM)!

1941:
* The Holocaust begins. :(
* Japan bombs Pearl Harbour.
* You think Australian politics is crazy now? Australia had three Prime Ministers within one year! Robert Menzies, Arthur Fadden and John Curtin! :eek:

[GoktimusPrime]

1942:
* Japan invades the Dutch East Indies, and are actually welcomed by the local Indonesians who have grown tired of living under Dutch colonial rule (the enemy of my enemy...). Many Indonesians actually welcomed the Japanese with open arms. The Dutch aren't so keen and execute a Scorched Earth strategy, deliberately destroying much of the East Indies' infrastructure before leaving.
* A Jewish girl turns 13 and begins documenting her life. Her family flee to the Netherlands and hide in an attic. Her name was Anne Frank.
* In Papua New Guinea, Australian and Japanese forces battle each other in the Kokoda Track Campaign. Many local Papua New Guineans assisted Australian forces and came to be known as the 'Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels,' including carrying wounded Australian soldiers under heavy enemy fire. In spite of this, the Australian government has not officially recognised the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels' contribution and many Aussie lives saved (e.g. better foreign aid to improve local health, education in villages around the Kokoda track etc.). On a darker note, Australian forces also bullied local PNGs into only assisting them, and any locals accused of assisting the Japanese were brutally punished, even publicly executed in front of children (http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/2007/s2038364.htm). :eek:

* After forming minority government in 1941, John Curtin begins to serve another term as Prime Minister after the Labor Party defeated the Coalition in the greatest landslide victory in Australian history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_federal_election,_1943). This guy's totally a keeper. ;)

[GoktimusPrime]

Sold a toy, which brings me back down to 1942, so...
Little Golden Books begins! :D
Disney's Bambi hits cinemas
December 1941's attack on Pearl Harbour saw a law that prohibited the production of toys containing "critical materials" such as iron, steel, zinc and rayon if it made up more than 7% of that toy's weight. This law remained in effect until the end of WWII in 1945. This saw a rise in the popularity of play things such as:
* board games
* model kits
* paper craft toys (e.g. dolls (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S_zfSWI-mO0/TyR8O8zJGaI/AAAAAAAAB4s/lc9kbCVbK_E/s1600/paper_dolls.gif), train sets (http://home.mindspring.com/~railroadimages/papertrain.htm) etc.)
* puzzles
etc.

[GoktimusPrime]

Power Battler Vehicon has become my 1945th Transformer. So let's look at the year of 1945:
Adolf Hitler and his newly married wife Eva Braun commit suicide as Russian forces approach the Führerbunker in Berlin. He is succeeded by Karl Dönitz (President) and Joseph Goebbels (Chancellor). Dönitz is trialed and imprisoned for 10 years. Goebbels kills his six children via poisoning, then he and his wife committed suicide.
Japan becomes the first and only country to be attacked by nuclear weapons, as atomic bombs are dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan unconditionally surrenders to Allied Forces, ending WWII.
John Curtin dies while still incumbent as Prime Minister. Ben Chifley is elected as the successor of the Labor Party, thus becoming the 15th Prime Minister of Australia

The execution is filmed by American photographer Eddie Adams, whose photography wins a Pulitzer Prize. The film also further fuels anti-war sentiment among the American public, and in other countries too. Simon Townsend (future host of Simon Townsend's Wonderworld) was a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, an offence which was punishable by court martial and imprisonment. Townsend finally wins the exemption from military service after a fifth court appeal.

1972:
* Ceylon becomes Sri Lanka
* The Whitlam Era begins in Australia
* Richard Nixon visits China (the first U.S. President to have ever done so) and meets with Mao Zedong, formally establishing relations between the two nations. Later that year the Watergate scandal occurs which of course led to Nixon's loss of Presidency 2 years later.

Thoughts
Watergate was a really big thing not only for America, but for Western society in general. The Western world had just been through major social upheaval during the 1960s with things like the Civil Rights Movement (including in Australia where the White Australia Policy was abolished and as a society we suddenly became ashamed of what happened to the Stolen Generations etc.), the Hippie Revolution, and of course the Vietnam War was still happening. Watergate added another huge blow to Western civilisation. Western society shifted from being one of relative unquestioning obedience and loyalty to one where people where people became increasingly more skeptical and questioning of authority.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/1972collage_zpsxoxgjr0a.jpg
Prior to Watergate, the American people never questioned the President even if the did questionable things. JFK was a womaniser, yet it was just accepted. Yet Bill Clinton was nearly impeached for his indiscretion.

For those old enough to remember & living in Melbourne at the time, February 1983 gave us the mother of all dust storm. Scared the crap out of this little school kid.

[GoktimusPrime]

1987 was when I first went to Melbourne. My brother and I wanted to bring our Headmaster Horrorcons along for the long car ride and also just to play while we were there, and we decided to leave the accessories at home, 'hidden' under a divider which looked just like this one (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/63/9d/df/639ddf96b2b0bbbe9faf48066c24cb08.jpg). But when we got home, for some inexplicit reason, the accessories were gone! :eek: Nothing else was missing, so it didn't seem that we were robbed. We never had mice at that house. Overzealous cockroaches? :confused:

[GoktimusPrime]

When I started this thread, one thing I was looking forward to was going through historical events during the G1 years. And I got excited at the prospect of doing this when my collection hit 1983 just before I went to Japan... but after coming back from Japan my collection count has now hit 1993, so... I'm going do things a little bit different and state just one fact about each year for my previous 10 acquisitions. ;)

* An Australian Transformers fan community is established, initially known as AusTrans it would later be known as OzFormers Transformers Collectors Australia.
* Martin Bryant goes on a shooting spree in Port Arthur, Tasmania. He murders 35 people and wounds 21. 12 days later Prime Minister John Howard announces reforms to Australian gun laws.

[GoktimusPrime]

TR Blaster makes 1997:
* Beast Wars really picks up steam and becomes the 3rd best selling action figure line in the U.S. after Toy Story and Star Wars! Hasbro decides to test the market's interest in vehicular Transformers and releases Machine Wars. It fails... people want beasts!

* Australia introduces the GST

* After claiming that they wouldn't be importing Car Robot but rather had a fresh idea in store, Hasbro releases Car Robot under the title of "Robots In Disguise." None of the toys are even ready by the time of the New York Toy Fair, instead, Hasbro displays cardboard mock ups of Car Robot toys in otherwise empty RiD packaging. Nonetheless, this line proves to be highly successful in Hasbro markets with RiD toys flying off shelves in Australia months before the TV show would even debut.

* A 9.0 magnitude offshore earthquake creates 10m high tsunami which hit Miyagi Prefecture in Japan, damaging the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

Consequently Ratchet's historical recount (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikco2TIb_Rk) is animated with a diminished number of remaining animators who decide to use a series of painted stills with animated elements rather than a fully animated flashback as was initially intended. This became the standard format for historical recount scenes throughout the series, even after Polygon regained their labour capacity.

Excellent! Two more toys and we get NostraGoktimus! :D

[GoktimusPrime]

...it took me over a day to get your reference, cos "Nostra" means "ours" in Latin - e.g. "pater noster qui es in caelis" ("Our Father who art in Heaven") ... so I kept on thinking, "What does he mean by 'Our' Goktimus?!?" :confused:

As outlined in Post #1, once your count exceeds the current year, then you can switch from C.E. to B.C.E. :) Although I might do a combination of both - C.E. for upcoming (planned, scheduled or expected) events and B.C.E. for things that have already happened.
