You have all original G1 (Generation 1 ) Transformers. There were no fakes created in the 1980's especially using diecast parts. All Transformers do have the dates stamped on them with various manufacturers producing them. Remember these toys were expensive when new and hard to come by so various liscense holders produced them for better priced (cheaper) manufacturing. I know I still have a bunch of them. They do make reissues but they are stamped with 2 dates, the original plus the new date . i.e. 1984-2001 etc.
1984 to 1985
The 1984-85 lines are, arguably, the most memorable and popular editions to come out of the Generation 1 series. All the classic characters and ideas are introduced here. The two years are actually one single run, story-wise and thematically. This is most evident in the first and second seasons of the animated series.
The toys made use of molds and designs primarily from the Microman and Diaclone lines. Others were used from Dorvack and Beetras toys. The 1985 toyline introduced the idea of special subgroup teams like the Dinobots, Constructicons and Insecticons. Toward the end of the animated series’ second season, several characters from the 1986 line were introduced, particularly the Combiner teams.
1986
The year of 1986 saw the last use of the Microman and Diaclone molds. From this point, Hasbro began using original designs for many characters. This was a banner year for the toy line as the tie-in movie, The Transformers: The Movie, was finally released. While the movie was not the blockbuster hoped for, it marked a change in the direction the series in general was taking.
New characters Rodimus Prime and Galvatron replaced Optimus Prime and Megatron in their respective roles. Subgroup teams became prevalent. The number of new characters increased from this year on. The TV series follows the movie and was now set in the future while the comics’ storyline continued to be set in the present time.
1987
As Transformers went on, new characters needed new gimmicks to stand out. The number of Combiner teams had been reduced, the Headmasters and Targetmasters were introduced. Fortress Maximus and Scorponok became leaders of the Autobot and Decepticon forces respectively. The animated series had one more season but only three episodes were produced in America, leaving only the comics to support the toy line.
1988
Transformers continued on despite smaller support and still managed to introduce a plethora of new characters. New Headmaster and Targetmaster characters were introduced, but the new driving forces for the line were the Pretenders and Powermasters. Optimus Prime made a return as a Powermaster.
1989
The toy line received a new logo design for its sixth year. The subgrouping idea was changed as characters were now limited to Pretender and Micromaster groups. These two groups were further subdivided into thematic teams. A few classic characters were revamped as Pretenders.
1990
In its final year in the US market, Transformers' last burst was with a more expanded Micromaster line and the introduction of the Action Masters. More classic characters were included as Action Masters, including Optimus Prime and the return of Megatron.

Mega Man was an animated television series co-produced between Japan & United States and is based on the game series of the same name. It was created by Ruby-Spears Productions and both animated and written in Japan by Capcom themselves. The series began in 1994 and ended in December 10, 1995 (the series was released in both Japan and America simultaneously), and was aired on many syndicated stations at the time. Two seasons were produced with a third planned but never realized.
Plot
Dr. Light and Dr. Wily were brilliant scientists in the field of robotics, who worked together in a laboratory trying to advance the science. One day, they finished an extremely advanced prototype, but shortly after being activated, it started destroying the laboratory. Dr. Light immediately believed that the prototype's guidance system, which Dr. Wily had personally programmed, was the source of the problem and concluded they would start over again. Angered, Dr. Wily attempted to steal the plans later that night, but Dr. Light catches him. Wily is able to steal the plans after knocking Dr. Light down, and goes off to what is apparently an abandoned area, and modifies the old robot prototype into Proto Man.
Later, Dr. Light builds Rock and Roll, advanced robots with personalities, along with Ice Man, Guts Man, and Cut Man. Dr. Wily and Proto Man go and steal the robots, reprogramming the later three robots as henchmen. Dr. Wily attempts to reprogram Rock and Roll at his lab later, but Rock decides to trick Dr. Wily. He tells Dr. Wily that Dr. Light also built "super warrior robots", and that if Rock and Roll are let go, he'll tell him how to defeat the robots. Rock uses this lie (Dr. Wily believing robots can't lie) to cause a distraction and escape with Roll. Dr. Light decides to reprogram and reoutfit Rock into Mega Man, who from then on keeps the world safe. This tale is told in Episode 1, "The Beginning".
Throughout the episodes, Mega Man thwarts Wily's various schemes, in a similar fashion to that of the "Super Friends", usually ending with Rush acting like Scooby Doo.
History
Mega Man starred in a Saturday-morning style cartoon that premiered in 1995. The show was made by animating company Ruby-Spears, which redesigned the characters from the Mega Man video games to varying degrees. At the time the show was undergoing its early development, anime had not yet achieved a "mainstream" acceptance, plus the producers felt the look skewed too young for the retro-80's-style action-adventure cartoon they had in mind. The final look of the characters was among many different interpretations proposed and was the most well-received by test audiences (it is worth noting that characters who appeared for the first time in season two were considerably more faithful to the original models, only given slightly different proportions and the occasional nose). The series was targeted towards the late preteen boy audience, though Roll's expanded and much more active role in the series was calculated to try and draw in more girl viewers as well (producer Joe Ruby joked "Also, it showed we're not male chauvinistic pigs as our wives think"). X, along with Vile, Spark Mandrill, and "Cigma" (Sigma) made a guest appearance late in the second season, and was planned to make more appearances in later shows, with the potential for his own spinoff cartoon as well.
Despite consistent high ratings and being a series producers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears really enjoyed working on, the show was canceled after two seasons. A single post-season-two episode was created to complete Ruby-Spears' contractual obligations; no true "season three" plans had been put into motion at the time of the cancellation. The decision to end the cartoon was handed down from Capcom, most likely due to merchandising pressures from toy-partner Bandai, which cut several other popular toy lines at the time short due to not meeting sales expectations (including The Tick, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball).
