    i slightly remember watching like a minute of a rerun of G1 when i rly young and sick but after that minute i probably fell asleep or changed the channel. but I became a fan after watching the movie for the 2nd time cuz the first time i could only hear the parts where they were yelling or shooting at each other. lol i feel stupid asking this now but i had to ask someone what movie it was. but after the second time i was instantly hooked and I started watching the series starting with Animated my 2nd fave series 1st being Prime.

    Been a fan since the G2 figures came out, but I think it was the movie/comics that got me into it.

    No. I knew about Transformers, but wasn't a fan because the Unicron Trilogy was shit. Didn't become a fan until I watched the movie and some of the other series.

    I grew up with G1. I was 4 when it came out. I didnt get into any other shows after that, then the movies came along, and now I watch Prime. Prime is the best written out of any series I've seen.

    I was in 2nd grade when G1 started in '84. I was a pretty big fan until about 5th grade in '87, I lost interest. Never looked at anything Transformers again until 2007. My wife was pregnant with my son at the time so I was saving my money. Now that he is old enough to start playing with Transformers, we started collecting together last summer. Now we have almost as many of the new figures today as G1's I used to have when I was kid.

    Bayverse introduced me to TF's in general, but Animated made me a fan.

    TF1 got me into TFs. That makes me extra angry at Bay for those sequels.

    Yes, but more of a casual one. I actually became a fan after the first movie when Animated was having it's run, by buying an Animated Grimlock.

    I've been a fan of Transformers since G2. I had a bunch of G1, but it really wasn't until G2 that I became a fan of Transformers. I was into Unicron Trilogy stuff for awhile but after that I skipped over Classics and 2007 movie due to me getting into the 1/6th scale model hobby, and a renewed interest in GI Joe with 25th Anniversary. It wasn't until ROTF that got me back into Transformers collecting and trying to get all the Classics figures I missed.

    No. I hated Transformers before the movies. Heck, I thought the movies would be stupid, based of an old, extremely corny cartoon. Until my friend made me watch it. Look at me now. I wonder where I'd be if I never saw Transformers in the first place...other than, you know, a whole lot richer :lol

    i grew up during the Beast wars era, might have watched it a few times but i don't remember. i also had this old little green legends class figure someone got me but i didn't know what it was from. so until the movies came out i was completely clueless about Transformers.

    Been a fan since G1-G2 days. Beast Wars only reinforced it. RiD/Car Robots still kept me going. AEC kept it going as well.

    Been around from the beginning. Got my first TF when I was 7 or so, I think (Airraid & Slingshot, iirc). Didn't get a Prime until G2. Collecting picked up w/ Beast Wars. I only get (or asked for when I was a kid) the ones I think are cool or otherwise interest me.
