Just as the title says, who was the first Transformer you got?

Mine was g1 Ironhide. I remember it was around September of 84 and the commercials for the toys were running wild and I had just seen the first mini series, More than Meets the Eye. Needless to say I was hooked and I deperately wanted one.

So my dad went out to get something and he came back with a plastic pumpkin used for Trick or treating(Halloween was just around the corner). I wasn't expecting anything when he handed it to me, but there was an early Halloween treat inside, Ironhide! What a suprise. I knew he didn't look like the toon, but he was fun to play with.

That was just the beginning, that Christmas I recieved Optimus, Starscream and Megatron from "Santa" and my grandparents got me Soundwave.

Ahh Memories...
