    Unless it was added recently I don't think it's on the roku channel. Last I looked that channel had the same shows that tubi has; G1, animated, beast machines, and the Unicron trilogy.

    One thing of note on its YouTube presence, almost all of the show is on there. At least one or two got flagged for copyright violation.

    My uncle got me Cybertron Primus. I don't even remember why. It all snowballed from there.

    You're welcome! At least it was there last time I checked. It may have been taken down.

    I remember g2 episodes in the 90s on Fox Kids. My brother gave me all his g1 TFs which i thought were cool but had a few missing parts.

    Then BW came out.... i thought it was the greatest thing on the planet! For some reason though, because they turned into animals and not vehicles (my english wasnt that great when i was maybe 5)... I thought BW had nothing to do with TFs and was convinced they were a separate franchise...

    Also... apparently i never paid attention to the BW cartoon logo cuz it clearly said Transformers as a subtitle....Man i was a stubborn kid...

    Then my brother found me a 1986 movie vhs and I became OBSESSED with TFs...

    I was a fan since Armada. While the show started off rather weak, I didn't realize it because I was so young, but by the time Unicron entered the scene, I was hooked.

    I've been a fan since I was around 3. Sadly, my introduction was Energon from DVD's my parents would get but I barely remember that and the show I actually remember was G1, Ive loved the series ever since.

    Frankly I've had less years in my life where I wasn't into transformers. At around 12 I had decided I'm a big boy now and too old for childish things such as toys, comics or cartoons (manga, anime and video games are fine though, 'cuz screw logic), and at 15 I've suddenly had this mental image of Optimus Prime pop up in my head (I was one of those weird, overly imaginative kids who'd get lost in his own head for hours). I used to be more into it for the fiction, now it's mainly for the figures and their engineering. Unless my life drastically changes or I die early, I'll probably like Transformers even after I become a crotchety old man with a long, grey beard.

    Been an on-and-off thing since around '05-'06 when I was like 6-7. Cybertron was my first since it was on Toonami.

    I knew Transformers for first time from my Neighbors, who brought me to The Cinema to watch Transformers 2007 (unfortunately the cinema is closed and collapsed now :(  ). I watched that when I was 8 y.o.

    After that, a TV station aired Transformers G1. Wheeljack was my first favorite Transformers. When I watched Transformers: The Movie and Season 3, my favorite Transformers is Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime until now.

    Since 1985 when I was 5 and my mum got me Topspin. I was instantly hooked and soon Transformers had become my favourite toyline, knocking Star Wars off the top spot.
    We didn't get much of the cartoon in the UK, other than chopped up episodes on Wacaday, but I did have a few of the VHS tapes. My Grandad used to get me the comic every week, so my canon has always been Marvel UK.

    I was lucky in that I never "got out" of Transformers, even when I got to that awkward teenage phase when you think you should get rid of your old toys, I still wanted to collect them. The 90's was great for carboot sales and you could pick up a lot of cheap G1 figures that older kids were clearing out as they went off to college etc. Then as I got a bit older I used to go to toy fairs and some (expensive) collectors shops. Then of course ebay became a thing and the opportunity to get all those figure that didn't see release in the UK was too good to miss...

    I have a huge collection of various toy lines, but Transformers has always been the main focus, long may it continue!

    I had several Playskool Transformers as a kid but I'd say around 2006 or 2007 is when I really got into Transformers. I remember the Cybertron episode "Scourge" being one of the earliest television episodes I watched. After the 2007 movie came out, Transformers was huge at my school. Kids would bring their toys to school and play with them during recess. I had the privilege of always getting to be Optimus Prime at recess. I got the 20th anniversary release of the 1986 movie for my 10th birthday (I still have the DVD to this day). The first Bay movie got me into Transformers but I soon made the jump to plenty of G1, Animated, and the Unicron Trilogy. Beast Wars came a little bit later but I'd say that I went all in on Transformers at a pretty young age.
