While I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get a Beast Wars hat-trick, Wheeljack was the second best choice. I'm glad "Rodimus" didn't win because he deserves to be inducted as Rodimus PRIME, the true chosen one who was just bumping that placeholder Optimus out of the way in accordance with Primus's grand plan so that he could lead the Autobots to victory. Just 'cuz they can't trademark "Hot Rod" is no excuse.
But much, much, MUCH more importantly, Arcee didn't win. For one thing, they'd surely have lumped the pictured G1 Arcee together with the current TF Prime Arcee, despite their being as completely different characters as G1 and BW Megatron no matter how you slice it, deserving to be inducted separately.
And since no Fembot has been inducted yet, that leaves the door open for Blackarachnia to be first at BotCon 2013. Not only was she a much more complex character, even if you don't lump her Animated counterpart together with her BW self, but the first female TF being a Beast Wars character would send a powerful message to anyone at Hasbro determined to leave that neck of the franchise "retired" or what not.
