Please see the main Transformers Hall of Fame 2016 post for full details on this year's Hall of Fame voting, as well as the process Seibertron.com has adopted for this year's iteration.

To vote for the "Favorite Transformers Character" category click here.

To vote for the "Favorite Underrated Transformers Character" category click here.

Nominees for the "Favorite Transformers-Related Musical Act" category, based on an entirely unscientific process, include:

Robert J. Walsh

The man responsible for the Generation One TV series' iconic music.

Lion

Performers of the hard rock version of the Transformers theme found in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie.

Spectre General

More widely known outside of Transformers fandom as "Kick Axe", performers of rock anthems "Hunger" and "Nothin's Gonna Stand in Our Way" found in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie.

"Weird Al" Yankovic

Performer of the upbeat "Dare To Be Stupid" found in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie.

NRG

Performers of "Instruments of Destruction" found in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie.

Kōji Kaya

Performer of the infectiously catchy theme of the Transformers: Victory TV series. (Please note: we could not find a picture of this performer to use for this poll.)

Robert Buckley

The composer and performer of the theme and score for Beast Wars and Beast Machines.

Paul Oakenfold & Garry Chalk

This duo comprises, respectively, the musician and voice actor behind what's heard in the opening of the Transformers: Cybertron TV series.

Steve Jablonsky

Composer of the scores for the four Transformers live-action movies.

Linkin Park

Popular alternative rock group and creators of several songs heard in the first three Transformers live-action movies and the force behind a special edition Soundwave toy.

Brian Tyler

Composer of the score for the Transformers: Prime TV series.

This poll will end sometime in the morning (United States time) of March 9th, 2016 to allow staff time to send results to Hasbro in time for their deadline. You may vote for one choice.

Feel free to use the thread below to discuss your choice for this particular category. General discussion of the 2016 Transformers Hall of Fame Fans' Choice voting (as well as the overall vote outside of fansite nominations) should take place in the main Transformers Hall of Fame 2016 thread.

Any of the bands on the animated movie soundtrack did good work but generally only one (or two in case of Spectre General) track each so I went with Steve Jablonksy for quality scores to all the live-action films.

Had to go with NRG but it was tough. All the musicians on the original album were great -Lion/Kick Axe/Weird Al- so it was really tough to choose, but when you hear Instruments of Destruction..you automatically can picture that whole shuttle scene in your head. It's unforgettable!

As much as I enjoy the musical scores of the movies, In my head, I really don't really consider composers as "musical acts".

I like to pretend they all conduct at some point ala John Williams.

This was a very hard choice as they are all very awesome, and iconic to the Transformers series. So I went with Lion for one reason, I had the chance to meet Doug Aldrich way back in 1990, and he was so very nice and awesome.

I met him 2 years ago at Raiding the Rock Vault in Las Vegas! I had a Lion 45 LP with me and it blew him away because he had never seen one before. I agree, he's such a down to earth nice guy!

That's a good way to look at it. Makes a little more sense in my brain when you put it that way. John Williams = movie score god
