    I was very young, so young in fact I actually asked my mother at what age did I first watch Transformers. She said I was 3 years old when she first showed me Transformers G1. So I've been a fan since 1994 and my love for Transformers has only grew. So how old were you? Also which show was your first?

    It's possible I was nine, but more likely I was ten. It was 1985, and G1 was on every weekday afternoon when I got home from school. I'd gotten a couple of the toys first, and I had to know more about these awesome robots that turned into cars.

    6, though I have vague memories of the 86 movie from slightly before then, but I know Beast Wars is when I "really" started.

    5, in 1984. My earliest memory of Transformers is watching Prime (in truck mode) tumble down the side of a mountain in MTMTE part 2.

    4 or 5 years old, one of the years Beast Wars was playing on Fox Kids. But the one I remember much more clearly was when I was 10, in 2001 when RiD2001 was playing on Fox Kids. Good times. :lol

    I don't remember the specific age but I do know that Beast Wars was basically my gateway drug into the franchise.

    My earliest recollection of Transformers was the episode the ultimate doom three parter, it was probably before I was even in pre-school. I was too young to understand what they were saying but the mind control part seemed to put an impression on me.

    i was in elementary school when beast wars season 1 was on in the morning, wasnt invested or too devoted to it, it just kept my attention during breakfast. a couple years later i feel like i may have seen one or two eps of BM. i started into TF proper when i was in middle school, early/mid teens with armada.

    7, almost 8, in June 2007. I got fast-action battlers Ratchet, which got me to start watching reruns of Cybertron on Cartoon Network.

    8 or 9, around the time the 1st Michael Bay movie came out. The Cybertron episode "Scourge" is the first TF episode I vividly remember watching.

    Approximately 6 or 7. RID01 was my first, but Armada was what really got me hooked.

    I had just turned 14. My younger sister watched the 2007 movie first, then I later watched it with her and it was love. The first cartoon I watched was Animated, but I don't remember which episode.
