Posted on the TFU.info facebook page, here's a fun game to test your memory of Transformer toys released in the years 1984-1989 [doesn't include Micromasters or Actionmasters, and combiners and toys packaged together are listed as one entry]: www.sporcle.com/games/MRL/g1_transformersI got 188/200 and missed some rather obvious ones.

I only got 77 out of the 200 but I was kicking myself when the answers came up and I missed a large number of obvious 1984 and 1985 characters.

152 and some uttetly moronic missed calls. None of the Autobot Headmasters, for instance...

I can't believe I forgot Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak and Hound from the 1984 line but remembered Longtooth and Skullgrin!

I got 123 first go, then had another go straight after (I didn't look at all the answers) and got 136. My biggest obvious miss was Ultra Magnus, but I've realised I'm useless with names after 1987, I have no idea (anymore) who the Decepticon small targetmasters are! I'm quite pleased I got all the 1984 characters though, once I realised it was in alphabetical order that section was easy.

I've only played it once and I got Ultra Magnus but I was also useless at the toys from 1987 onwards. Some of them however were simple if you read the title of the toy in the list (Autobot City - that has to be Metroplex, Decepticon City - can only be Trypticon).

165! But then, I was a big fan of the late 80s stuff, so remembered a lot that way... Aside from the Pretenders. I was useless with them.

I think the worst one I missed was Shockwave. I missed more of 1985 than any other year [Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx, Warpath, Perceptor, Blaster...]

187. Forgot Roadbuster, Whirl, Omega Supreme, Gnaw, Inferno, Smokescreen, Sky Lynx, Tailgate, Outback (!) and the Pretender Vehicles and Ultra Pretenders. If only I could recall important/relevant information with a 93.5% accuracy rate 20+ years after the fact.
Took me ten minutes of wracking the ol' noodle to remember the name of the 4th deluxe Insecticon though (Barrage, Venom, Chop-shop and... the other one!) and I had to look back at my toy shelf to recall poor Mirage.

The only post 1988 I didn't get were Groundbreaker and Landmine, couldn't remember the end of each of their names! Also took me a while to spell Submarauder...

Oh, I thought it was a quiz. Is it a list thing? Hmmm, nevermind.

116 I needed to approach it with more order, bouncing from 84 to 89 doesn't work for me.
I was fine with the first three years struggled to come up with the last two in the time limit.

Got 143 trying to get them all in order. A few of the ones expected under 1986 turned up under 1985.

I failed miserably, but only because I didn't read the instructions and didn't scroll down, so was under the impression I was only trying to name 1984-86 characters. Whoops!

It took me longer than 20 minutes to dig out my Generations book, so I scored 0.

I've got everythign up on an access datatbase - but didnt look at this. The bit you need to keep scrolling down & checking is the cassette. You need to remember which came in the 2 packs - which is harder than remembering the names. Remembering when characters first appeared in order in the comics then putting them in order again did slow me down a bit. With them appearing in toy 1 year before they turned up in the comic. Triplechargers are under 85 - but they didnt show up in UK/US until Oct86 #82/Jun87#29
