BotCon 2011 Coverage - Hall of Fame Winner: Waspinator

Suck it, Erector.

EPIC WIN, Avispanator deserved to win!! This is so freakin' cool!

Edit: To tell you the truth, I actually voted for Erector.

Wazzpinator finally get respect he deserves! Wazzpinator is happy!

Good he won, sounds rigged though. Whatever.

Voted for him like 10 times.

(if it were rigged, Grimlock would have won)

Doesn't this mean Erector gets in automatically next year?

Would rather Erector won...and I woulda thought him winning was kinda sad. I was pissed when they said Waspinator. They need to start putting more Beast Wars characters in the voting to start splitting those votes as well. You figure Jazz, Grimlock, and Shockwave are all splitting votes, then the Ross Perot votes going to Erector, meanwhile all the Least Wars fans are putting their collective voice to a single cause. And that's how an unworthy Waspinator gets voted in...

Geewuners be hatin'

Good for Waspy, though I was hoping for Grimlock.

Is that the exact quote? If it is it just made my eyebrow raise with the thought that something funny is going on. I think we need some transparency as to the number of votes and who counts them.

I don't think it was rigged--I voted for Waspinator, personally, because I enjoyed the character the most out of those nominated, and Beast Wars was my favorite of the Transformer cartoon series.

And, just for reference, yes, I am someone who grew up with the original G1 cast.

That said... it's just for fun, guys. Grimlock, Jazz, Shockwave... they get lots of love already with multiple toys and homages. Let's not take things too seriously.

"Least Wars"? You mean "Best Wars", right?
