    My first was G1 Skorponok... Sadly I broke him years ago, so I don't have him anymore. But for some reason I can;t rmemeber, I kept his gun for years after I lost the figure... I eventually lost the gun around the time I left High School.

    Bendy Prime and still in good condition with mini con. Got all the other releases of him too because of that ( Nemesis Prime, Cybertron, Ultra Magnus, etc).

    Hmm. I was too young (born in 1984) when I got my first TF, but I know my parents started buying TFs for me in the late 80s. My earliest toys were the Pretenders and Powermaster Prime. I still have my 20-year-old PM Prime, but it's in the worst condition imaginable. Luckily, I got the Prime + Apex Armor reissue from a few years back.

    :) 

    My earliest memory of actually being at a store and buying a TF was back in the early 90s. Target had walls full of G2 Ramjet and Starscream. Never having had this mold for either character, it seemed like Santa Claus himself stocked those walls. I was in awe. "Kid in a candy store" didn't begin to describe how impressed I felt. I was only allowed to get 1 toy (I was a kid then!), and I picked G2 Ramjet because my Pretender Starscream fit the bill for now. The wait to return to Target to get a Starscream was INTENSE.

    I still have that Ramjet, and the torso of the Starscream. Lost G2 Screamer's wings, though.

    G1 Octopunch was my first Transformer. I still have him, and he's in perfect condition.

    My first Transformers was in pretty bad condition when I got it.
    An accessoryless G1 Ultra Magnus cab.

    He's still in about the same condition he was in when I got him.

    The very first ones I bought for myself (I started from buying TFs for my kid) were junker lot of BWN figures; Longrack, Break, Arcadis, Guiledart and Killerpunch.

    I am just about to sell Killerpunch and Arcadis, as I got a replacement and I don't like them enough to keep multiples.

    Mine was G1 Bonecrusher, and within a couple days I also had Hook, Scrapper, and Mixmaster. Still have them, and never intend to sell them. My first boxed TF was G1 Snarl, and, yep, still have him too. They're all a little worse for wear, not broken, just well played with, and surprisingly still complete.

    My first transformers I got on the same day as it was my birthday when I was probably 5 or 6. I got powermaster Optimus Prime and a Pretender. I don't remember which pretender it was and as I collected transformers when I was a kid about 8 years ago when I moved my box of old toys (all my transformers and ninja turtles) from when I was a kid disappeared and I haven't seen them since.

    It was either Jazz or Bombshell, and yes, I still have both. They are in worn condition, but they are unbroken and still have their weapons.

    My first one was Transmetal Cheetor.

    But I was five, so I trashed it in like a month.

    G1 Prowl... and nope. He was well loved and went to the great toy chest in the sky. Wasn't even included in the great garage sale sell off, as he was in shit shape compared to everything else.

    G1 Cliffjumper, way back in the day. He's more than a tad trashed now, but I still have him.
