The newer generations aren't as cool as those 80s models (except for Optimus Prime

). The original cartoon is the best IMO. Maybe BeastWars is not bad either....

Hey not only you, my parents couldn't afford either back during those days. I could only oogle at departmental stores & toy'r'us carefully reading each and every Transformer write up behind the box. The only Transformer I had was Blaster, the Autobot communications expert that transform itself to a portable radio and that also my kind aunt gave me as a birthday present.
Was faced with the same senario here. It was pure agony when visiting dept stores!

So close yet so far.... In my collection, I have only 2 Transformers and they aren't even my favourites, it's just bcoz they're the most affordable! Someday I'll get my hands on Optimus Prime! And maybe the hybrid that he became in one of the movies, the one where it was combined with a lion autobot of some kind...

sorry but cannot recall clearly the details...
