How Did You Get Into Transformers Or Find Out About It?

Like the title says, how did all of you get into Transformers or find out about it? For me, I think my dad got me into it. We would watch G1 and Beast Wars on Netflix (when they were still on Netflix) sometimes so I was all for the original and Beast Wars. I also remember that my dad and I would go to the library to rent a Transformers: Cybertron DVD and watch it at home. One of the only things I remember from that show for some reason was that one Transformer that transformed into a traffic light. I forgot his name though.

Back 20 or so years ago, every boy on the planet was playing with authentic or fake Japanese transformer toys. We grew up playing with transformer toys.
Every time you walk by a toy shop, you drool over those delicious huge combiners.
Personally I dislike transformers in the cinema movies, it is all white metallic style for the sake of rendering a realistic cinematic movie. Bone crusher, grindor, these new movie bot just suck. All white metallic pieces or junk. That’s why G1 is always awesome and unique and so much in love with. Maybe it was just a thing that my friend used to get countless expensive transformers while only chance I could play is when going to friends place.
For reference, this is what I am talking about https://youtu.be/XwUYeVkLv-E
You rock man 😎😎😎
I fell in love with the Transformers TV Series, Action Figures then years later started playing F2F I love this game 👍
Yes, the precursor to G1 Transformers.
Three months later he brought home a Diaclone F15 Jet Warrior.
WHAT IMPECCABLE TASTE, THAT BEAUTIFUL MAN
And it escalated to now 14 years later and here I am 😀
I do not have Soundwave and Buzzsaw anymore, but picked it up when it was reissued. I picked up the multiple reissues. I still have the G1 Rumble and Ravage cassettes.
While GoBots aired around the same time, Transformers won.
Apologies... misread the title. Re-Transformers, I was born in ‘74... so yeah, I was surrounded by Transformers as a child.
Then I became a victim to Hasbro's Bumblebee merchandising.
I started collecting the figures about a year later, and have been ever since 😁
WOW!! THAT IS AWESOME!!! 😮
You must have like the whole 1984-1988 collection misb there! 😮
That is an amazing collection buddy! You should post that video on the “toys what beautiful toys” thread
Because those are some beautiful toys! Lol! 😂
I’m waiting for the day this mad lad get added to the game.
Edit: this is the first transformer I got in the picture.
Mad respect to any TRANSFORMERS fan whose first exposure to the franchise were the BAY movies.
@Beastdad hit it on the nail.
Robots with heart, PERSONALITY and motives. That's the MARVEL-SUNBOW magic right there. And not a single **** reference in over 3 years of broadcast
