Talkin' Bout Your Transformers Generation!

[Verno]

I was born in '86 so technically I'm a G2. I had a few Tfs but only became a real fan with the Beast Era.

Same here except I was born in 88.
While I have mild recollections of G2 stuff and I owned a Rotorstorm from the end of Euro G1, Beast Wars is what I have strongest memories of and what I really grew up with.

Now this was confronting, Ive always considered me self a Gen1 fan , but looking at the listing description... Im Gen 0 Although I have seen Microman on the toy shelves back in Philippines, its TFs that really got me drooling and always wanting to be left in the toy section while my mom and brother are about the whole department store. Works out fine for them I guess, keeps the annoying youngster (then) from getting into trouble and acts like a pacifier by keeping me in that section ( I wouldve stayed all day heheheh) and picking me up AFTER theyre finished with their boring shopping, since there are loose samples displayed which you can fiddle with and dioramas in glass of all the more popular toys at that time... I couldnt buy em and I understood that, we don't have the spare cash so I like fiddling with the samples so I can later make my Craft Paper TF versions a bit more accurate ( well for me heheh) with the detailing I remember from the originals .....ah gone are the days of toy dioramas/spare sample displays in stores..... dag nabbit young ones stealing toys nowadays, cant trust em....

I'd like to consider myself as Gen 1 since that's what I first remember, BUT I'm probably more Gen 2 as most of my original childhood TFs are from this era. I fully got into transformers properly between the time when the Euro G1s where finishing off and G2 relaunched the line. Although I can remember the last lines of G1 - micromasters, late pretenders and action masters. I only like the micromasters from these and only the G2 figures got me hooked properly

Plus G2 cartoons/comics are what brought me up

I miss the $2.50 price for the G2 comics at the local newsagent!

whoa, comics are that expensive here always?!? Comics back then were 30 pesos full price, less than a dollar ( back in Phils) ... now that price would be when they're getting rid of old stock, and I mean really old stuff hehehe, other wise sale comics prices are 50-60 pesos now which is about $1.10 or $1.20

G2 comics got me in the nostalgic mood when I first saw that Prime face with lotsa bullets, sigh.

I remember when comics were 12 cents each, anyone need their diapers changed

Was that when they were engraved onto tablets? I was born 2 months into the 80's so I classify myself as Gen1

Although my wife would say that I haven't grown up yet so would be classified as Gen Protoform

I was still in school during both G1 and BW (I was 16 in 1996). Does that still count as growing up?

With G1 I was old enough for be conscious of them in 1986 (season 3) but reruns of Seasons 1-2 were continuously happening and toys back then had a much longer shelf life so I still had several of the 1984-1985 toys still available to me as well as the TV series.

I grew up around the time BW was on, but it wasn't a part of my childhood at all. Transformers only really came into my life around 2007.

So I picked protoform, because that's the most applicable thing.
