Talkin' Bout Your Transformers Generation!

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

No we had parchment, the Egyptians made it from the reeds, papyrus I believe. 3 oldies woohoo, I reckon there are a couple of more old farts on this board not admitting to it

I'm an '87 child, so I was able to get into TFs through friends of mine whose brothers had quite a few Transformers, and I got a few of the G1 Classic releases (I think they were a Euro thing around 1990) plus a bit of Gen 1.5 and a bit of G2.

Yeah, in 1990-91 we had lots of early G1 toys reissued as part of the Classic series. They were a great way to catch up on previously missed figures. The Earthforce Saga was written to market the Classic reissues - which only came out in Europe and Australasia, so events in the US series conflicted with it. Hence it's since been retconned as being an out-of-continuity event. But having said that, Earthforce references still appeared in the later US stories written by Furman (e.g.: during #75's battle against Unicron the Autobots aboard the Ark were members of Earthforce, taking orders from Earthforce Commander Grimlock! )

Most of them were (but Blaster wasn't, was he?) They also all happened to be previously dead Transformers reactivated with Nucleon by Grimlock, which is probably why more than half the robots we see on the Ark were characters who were also Action Master toys.
