In this thread we discuss the Transformers from the orginal cartoon series in the 80's, Beast Wars, Armada, Energon, and even the live action movie coming out.
I have to say I loved the original series and own the first two seasons on DVD. Still working to get the rest of them. I of course bought the action figures and such though many have broken over the years.
My favorite Transformer is Soundwave. He was frickin awesome. He had Ravage, Rumble, Lazerbeak, Frenzy and others inside him! How cool was that! He was also the spy. A great role to play. He had a great voice provided by Frank Welker too.
Since I hear Steven Spielberg is going to be the executive producer for the live action movie, I really expect alot from this film. Too bad Soundwave can't be a tap recorder. But it's understandable. Even if they changed him into a cd player (which he'll probably still have), he'd look ridiculous shrinking down into one.

Transformers the movie, one of the most trumatic moment of my childhood when Prime dies, but
now whenever I watch it again all I can think of is Boogie Nights. 
The new transformers suck, Optimus Prime is a truck not a fire engine thats Inferno. 
SCOPONOK PWNZ JOO ALL!!!111!!!!!one!!!11

The original series and Beast Wars are the only ones worth mentioning. I tried Maserforce once it had some interesting concepts but I got bored with it pretty quickly.

I hated Rodimus Prime.
I have never seen the Transformers movie. I keep telling myself to buy or rent it, but I never get around to it.
I always wondered how a Transformer-sized gun could turn into a much larger giant robot like megatron; a little scale probelm there. But whatever, it worked, Megatron rules.
It was funny, I always wondered how strong Transformers were, then in one episode Prime throws and OIL TANKER at megatron.  That's Superman strength.
Can't wait for the new movie.

Oh wow I had that one as a kid. Nice to see a pic of it again.
I loved Transformers, and had loads of them during my childhood. Unfortunately they were sold before I really became aware of the fact that they'd be worth keeping. So when the re-release of Generation One happened, I snapped them up. So I have Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Hotrod and Starscream lined up on one of my shelves and that brings warm feelings to my heart.

My parents made me sell of of my star wars stuff when i was 12 or so. Then a few years later realised how stupid they were to do that. They still have all my transformers in a box with my scorponok W00T.
I'm moving in with my GF in 2 weeks so she might get a suprise when my parents come up with a large box of my stuff.
Just remembered that I lost Scoponoks headmaster . . mmm might have to check ebay or something.
Clicky for a page with loads of old toy pics (where I got the scorponok one from)

Ahh - my kind of thread.
I used to love that cartoon.
Still have all my toys.
Don't like what they did with them though.
The originals are the only ones I understand, not all these colourful redesigns.
And maybe it would be an iPod Shuffle that soundwave would transform into nowadays...

The first Transformer I got was Sunstreaker. After that, I fell heavy into Transformers for about 2 years. It helped fill the hole left by Star Wars.
By the time 'Transformers the music video, er movie' came out, I was just about through with toys (For the time being). It was a great run though. Sideswipe was my favorite Autobot. Soundwave was my favorite Decipticon.
Transformers has splinterted off into so many sub-categories I've lost count, but none of it looks all that great IMO. I hope the movie is in the mold of the classic Transformers. I'm actually really excited about it.

Was just looking on ebay and you can bid for his headmaster its at £4.20 at the moment.
I never had a whole team, unfortunatly but I could make my own by cobbling various teams together.

I had (or rather, have, at my dad's house) all of Menasor...
... but, rather annoyingly, my Motormaster came with two left hands.
