I believe this is one of the original Hasbro Wheeljack purchased either at Service Merchandise or The Treasury in 1984. I have had this one a long time.

Here’s the three original planes – Thundercracker, Starscream, and Skywarp.  Starscream is a clone that I bought at the fair back in 1985 or so.  I had some extra Decepticon stickers and slapped it on him. I think this was Taiwan version by Kingdam. A knock off of the Diaclone version before the Transformers came out.

I decided to create separate posts for the Dinobots. This one is Dinobot Snarl.  I purchased Snarl in 1984 from Service Merchandise which was a catalog showroom store.   Basically, you’d go to the store, look in a catalog and someone would bring out the item to you. I picked up several of my Generation 1 Transformers there.

Here is my collection of Dinobots. I am only missing Swoop. I am still looking for a good used version of him. Most pieces I have seen have issues, so I still don’t have one yet.

Below is Jazz.  I did have the original Generation 1 Jazz back in 1984, but I know I traded a bunch of Transformers away for some of the Godaikins I have now.  You can tell this is the 2002 Hasbro Commemorative Series III re-issue because the missile launcher is much larger than the original. Still, he’s one of my favorite autobots.

I bought this one at Target probably 2003. I hadn’t really bought any Transformers after the Generation 1 series, but I really liked the way the Alternators transformed. They looked good as a robot and car.

This one is Smokescreen. The Alternators transform into current model cars, so this one becomes a Subaru Impreza.

Hound Transformers 1984 Generation 1 Autobot Hasbro

I updated this post with a cleaned up Hound.  I dusted him off with a damp qtip, lens cloth and re-glued some of his decals.  I’m trying to show my collection a little love after all of these years.

Silverstreak G1 Autobot Transformers Generation 1 Hasbro 1985

Here’s Silverstreak that I purchased from Service Merchandise in 1984. Service Merchandise was a catalog showroom store where you looked through a catalog and you picked the item you wanted and they would bring it out to you, although for the toys, they were accessible on the shelves. I bought almost all of my original G1 Transformers from this store.

Behind Silverstreak is Inferno. I bought him in japan in 1985. Silverstreak is more often known as Bluestreak.
