I was helping my folks clean their house yesterday and came across these old photos of me (w/ friends and family) playing with G1 Transformers in the 1980s!

So yeah, this thread is for everyone to chip in and post up any pics you have of yourself as a child playing w/ Transformers! :D

1986 (my birthday) :)

For some reason I never took any photos of my TF figures.

Goktimus Prime - just wondering, are those your siblings or friends in the first photo?

I also don't have any photos of myself with any of my toys. I wish I did as I miss my Transformers along with Masters of the Universe, Thundercats and GI-Joe. For some reason I don't miss my TNMT figures as much as the above.

My TF collection was mainly composed of 84 and 85 figures, I don't recall having any 86 figures. I remember owining all the Minibots except Windcharger (who I still don't own!) and Optimus Prime are the figures that I mostly remember. When G1 was first came out in 84 I was only 4 years old and since then my interest in Transformers never fully went away even though I only started collecting toys again a year or so ago.

Sadly due to crap parents, my original TF collection no longer exists. :(

My sibling is being sat on by me in that photo. :p The toddler in the red top and the baby are my cousins - everyone else are friends. And see that cousin of mine in red? He had TIME WARRIOR - and he's since lost it!! (>o<)

:)Gok if I ever find Time Warrior anywhere and it's not stupidly priced I'll buy it, send it to you just to put you out of your misery;).
While I'm posting I might as well say this, when i was the same age as Gok is in the photos it was the 70's. I had some of the Die cast raiden figures and quite a large collection of Micronauts which were loved to death except for a very few which I ended up using to trade for my G1 Swoop:D.

Eer a katana would do the job just as well :D:D albeit more painful and permanent :p

Glad to see you have these pics saved up Gok, funny, come to think of it I didnt ever had a picture when i was young with my TFs????!? for some odd reason. Youd think that after receiving my very first one - G1 Soundwave youfd wanna get a picture holding it high and happy. Hmmmm odd.. oh well m making up for it with lots of pics of the collection now anyways! Is there any more pics of you guys?

Addit: Were in the same boat Sam... oh just reminding you of them CHibi pics please!!!:D
