@note2: xD very true, good thing this is a simulation. why no kickback diodes across the transistors?

Try it and see. When the flux collapses into the secondary it will generate a colossal negative potential on the primary. If you put diodes across the power transistor it opens a very low resistance path from ground, and the diodes do not last very long at all.
