Other memories include my friend bringing G1 Warpath to school. I've ordered the Warpath reissue so will finally get my hands on it soon. Another friend had the G1 mailaway watch. Now that was cool!
Ha - those were the first I thought of too! A mate at school at Prime and I remember going to some BBQ and one of the kids there had a Warpath.

I had an adopted cousin whose family were rich and my mum used to babysit a rich kid and both of them had a ton of Transformers so I was pretty jealous of them in general. The rich kid my mum babysat had all the Omnibots I remember.

I do remember a bunch of us in grade 4 building a carboard base for all our Mini-Autobots, even had a river going through it since I had Seaspray. I think one of the other kids who helped build it had a Bumblebee. I wasn't too jealous as I had the most Mini's (Seaspray, Pipes and Tailgate).

Kid on the neighbouring farm had Long Haul and Runabout. But he was jealous of me as I had all the Stunticons. I can't believe I remember all this stuff

Warpath and Optimus were definitely the two I was most jealous of. As an adult there are now only 13 figures I can think of from 84-87 that I don't have (3 Powerdashers, 2 Omnibots, 3 Deluxe Insecticons, 2 Headmaster Autobots, 2 Headmaster Horrorcons and Wingspan) and the only ones of those I don't own that another kid I knew did were the Omnibots.

But I shouldn't be too mad at that kid because his mum gave me Dirge for Xmas one year, who was my first ever TF, and I still have him to this day
