Ah Transformers!!! THE GREATEST TOY LINE EVER!!!! It's like 2 toys in one, man!

I remember being so annoyed with my brother because he got Transformers and all I ever got were these girlie toys.

its an awful shame that Takara and/or Hasbro refuse to release the Generation 1 toyline again. The new Transformers toys pale in comparison to the toys that came out 1984-1989. The first batch of transformers were: (Autobots) Optimus Prime, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Hound, Prowl, Mirage, Wheeljack, Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz, Trailbreaker, Bumbleebee, Brawn, Huffer, Cliffjumper, Bluestreak, Gears, Windcharger (Decepticons) Megatron, Soundwave, Buzzsaw,Laserbeak, Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy, Thundercracker, Skywarp,Viewfinder, spyglass, spectro, Starscream

In response to the previous guy, they did rerelease the original toys a couple of years ago (Commemorative Series). I should know, I have a rerelease Bluestreak (Renamed Silverstreak, but still the same toy) on my bookshelf and gave a rerelease Sideswipe to my cousin's kid for Chistmas. Anyway, yeah, the transformers line was the best. There were a lot of great toys in the 80s- I had a lot of love for GI Joe, He-Man, and MASK too, but TF comes out on top.

i loved the old movie.

Transformers were better than GoBots

My brother had all of these toys and I use to love playing with them.

TRANSFORMERS of the 80's were the best toys ever made far better than the crap TF made now. And the new TRANSFORMERS movie is rubbish OPTIMUS PRIME is nothing like he was as a toy and MEGATRON was a gun and now he is (well I don't know what he is)I wanted 2 c GRIMLOCK and the other DINOBOTS but they didn't show up in the movie.... Big thumbs down! Nice girl in the movie though.... Big thumbs up!

I had a few of these toys. I can't remember the names of the ones that I had, though. They may still be in my mom's attic! The original cartoon and the original movie rocked! The fight scenes against the Decepticons were the greatest! The new Transformers cartoons can never compare to the original! Never! They take too long to fight!

I remember my brother was too little to transform them so everytime he would get one he would give them to me to figure out. I remember omega Supreme who turned into a base with a rocketship and the dinobbots. Man, I loved them almost as much as my brother and I'm a girl. We watched the cartoons again recently and we both cried when Optimus Prime died.

i just bought 80 gen 1 toys for 200 bucks.

the new toys don't even compare

200 bucks and up sounds right for any of the authentic toys dated back in the 80's. I've seen a whole toy lot go up for 3 grand. Those toys back then are worth a lot today, depending what the majority want that is, and if it's in mint condition, even better.

Me and my friends ran home everyday to what it. If we walked we would miss the first ten minutes of the show. I had sideswipe because i like the fast cars. I a wanted jazz and sunstreak. Why was Megatron AND Shockwave both guns?

i thought the new movie was great. it was as accurate as it could be exept megatron. the original megatron transformed into a huge cannon/gun in the first movie megatron was recreated into a space fighter jet by the planet unicron and then was called galvatron that was the only bit in the new movie that bugged me apart from bumblebee transforming into an american car not a beetle

I saw the Movie. They are Back!

2007 TF movie is not that bad (ok, they can be better w/ megatron's design). optimus prime is a blue-red truck, jazz is a fancy car and has a visor, yellow bumblebee. i can recognize them. but movie ironhide and starscream confused me. they are really different from red-van ironhide and the G1 starscream i knew. anyone ever dream 2 c metroplex or trypticon in TF movie? that'll awesome.

I would love see the Constructicons in a live-action TF movie!

They have a Optimus Prime helmet with voice changer now with the movie. I KNOW I had one of these when I was little but can't find anything like it online.

I love Transformers, I used to play sick so that I would not have to go to school just to watch the TV show. I had most of the toys as a kid. Love them toys today like crap

I remember those old school, stop motion commercials of G1 European release of the toys, which they used to play in my country: they really scared me when I was little. I also remember playing with my cousin's KO G1 Inferno toy he had: he used to freak out whenever I touched it :P. In response to the comments above: Takara made re-release of some of the G1 toys (they're called "Encore" in Japan) and still plans to do a few more. However, not all toys can be re-released because, sadly, Has/Tak lost some of the old molds which were used to produce figures: among them is the mold of G1 Mirage -_-...

actually my dad had the exact one in the picture and my grandma kept it it was his favorite toy then she gave it to me i think its name is optumis prime it still has its box too!
