Ryan's 1st Transformer: G1 1984 Bumblebee (121 images)īumblebee's running a little flat these days. On vacations up north, the Constructicons dug holes from the shores of the Straits of Mackinac all the way to "the other side of the world" (wherever that was) or they entombed their Autobot captives in sandy embankments. They were buried in sand, entangled in covert missions amongst seaweed, had forest hideouts among leaf piles, wood chips, tree branches, shrubs or whatever else I could think of. I had no long term plans for these toys at that time but I sure had about as much fun as a kid could have with them. I fascinated with taking my Transformers in the lake, playing with them on the sand, in the bathtub. As a child, we lived on a lake in mid-Michigan about 1/2 way between Flint and Ann Arbor. While I don't understand what happened with his tires, which appear to have melted at some point, I'm assuming the rust was caused by Bumblebee's many water adventures he went on. Capturing this detail helps tell the story. It was interesting photographing a toy for that wasn't as close to perfection as I normally strive. Some of my favorite photography shots that came out of this were of the rust on the screws and the diecast piece on Bumblebee's back as well as the shots of the tires. Transformers had fully captivated my childhood imagination.Īs you'll see from the pictures in this gallery, there are some "artistic" shots showing the wear in detail. My earliest connection with the Transformers comic, that I remember, was my Dad buying me a copy of Transformers #4 at a Perry Drug store. She did, and she bought me the Mini-Bot Bumblebee toy you see featured below and my brother took home a Windcharger (thanks Mom!). Later that day, I begged and pleaded my Mom to take me to Toys R Us to get a Transformer toy. I don't recall much about watching that first episode but I swear I remember flipping the channel to Wheeljack and Bumblebee's opening scene in the first episode.

With me, it was one fateful Saturday morning when I woke at the crack of dawn, turned on the television to discover another weekly installment of Saturday morning cartoons, when I came across a cartoon about those very robots. Like all of you, my collision course with our favorite robots that convert from one thing to another and back, has a beginning. Pretty unremarkable, huh? Well, let me tell you a story or three. Here all of us are on, which winds back to that moment in time. It is the earliest physical representation I possess of the moment Transformers became of interest to me. It marks the beginning of something major in my life which ultimately has led to this very moment years later with you reading an article that I'm writing on, a website about Transformers toys that I created 16 years ago. Well, he's my very first Transformers toy that I got way back in 1984 at the age of 7. You might be wondering what's so special about this run-down Transformers toy. He's battle damaged, worn, has some extra paint apps, rust, a flat tire, a missing tire, a damaged tire, a stress mark, and more. Lo and behold, it's my first Transformer from 1984 who is none other than G1 Bumblebee. It has historical significance to and much personal significance to myself. Nothing of particular interest, except maybe to me. Here we are at 's 4,000th Transformers toy gallery.
