Outstanding! He was my pick for sure; he was, by far, the deepest character of all the ones listed.

The Allspark isn't the only place ol' Chopperface resides now...

Not that any of the G1 characters werent great, but Beast Wars reinvigorated the Transformers franchise and Dinobot was the most interesting character of them all, I thought at first he was gonna be a Starscream type character but he proved to be the most dynamic and well written, even his death was almost as sad as Prime's in the movie. Then to be return thru Dinobot II in the ending of the Nemesis trilogy episodes just made me love the character more. I'm glad my vote didnt go to waste. :grin:

So prospect for Botcon 2011 Rodimus Prime, Grimlock, Shockwave, Kup, Arcee, and Galvatron. I know that's six but im sure its gonna be anyone of them.

Betting on Rodimus Prime. :BOT:

Thank God Soundwave who would want an uncharismatic bore LOL :lol:

He was always cool.
Oddly, I only had the Dinobot II toy of him...which wasn't even him.
Glad he made it in, maybe we can get a cool toy of him...

Wow... I honestly didn't see that one coming. I thought for sure Soundwave was gonna take it. I mean, I voted for Dinobot... but I still really thought Soundwave was gonna win.

I have to wonder if this signals a potential change in the collecetor's population. Those of us who remember G1 are really getting old (my birthday reminded me of that yesterday) and are beginning to be dominated by those who were brought in by Beast Wars and the newer series/movies.

Then again, the other characters were really not very developed. Dinobot's death may be one of the most iconic moments in Transformers lore. I admit, I actually still kinda tear up when I watch it. :oops:

I'm glad a non-G1 character won. No offense to the original series or anything, I just like to see the HoF including characters from all parts of the whole TF franchise, not just the classic ones we've seen dozens of times.

But then that decreases the overall value of the Hall and such...

A noble induction for a noble character. Unexpected since you would have expected a G1 character but this is still a excellent choice.

Very cool. I don't get all moist like others do over Dinobot, but he DOES kick ass.

Good choice!

Wow, I absolutely HATED beast wars, so this is quite a shock. Though I really don't get the point to these hall of Fame things, so guess it doesn't really matter.
Re: Dinobot Inducted into Transformers Hall Of Fame (1091321)
Posted by Heckfire on June 27th, 2010 @ 10:40pm CDT
WOW...they were all solid contenders, but, speaking as a die-hard G1 fan, the Beast Era needed to be represented in this first induction. Simply put, there wouldn't even BE a Hall of Fame, or a BotCon, or pretty much any of the stuff we TF fans take for granted if it weren't for "Beast Wars," so, on behalf of the Original Generation, congrats, Chopperface, on a well-deserved induction. :grin:

I actually had voted for Grimlock, but still think Dinobot deserved it just as much.

They all deserve it, but the plan was always for several big fan sites (including seibertron.com) to pick a character for nomination. Those nominations were the choices of Hasbro's pole, the winner of which would have been given the "Fan's Choice" entry into the HOF.

I agree. Love the line or hate it, it was BW that allowed Transformers to become what it now is. It would have been unfair to have this acknowledged in the HOF.

Congrats, Dinobot!

I voted for SW but in no way disappointed that Dinobot won. I was happy to see a non G1 figure enter the HOF. If anything, I think doing this each and every year will make Sat nite's dinner more fun. Watching the videos for each HOF character entrance was soooo awesome. It was like an actual awards dinner. I loved every minute of it. I even teared up when Peter Cullen got his.

BTW, a bunch of us saw Peter Cullen around...2:40am at the Swan, he was a lil tipsy me thinks. Such and awesome person. He took photos and autographs even at riduculous hours of the night. You cannot say enough kind words of this man. He coulda just gone to bed or declined people, but he didn't. Hollywood could seriously learn a lot from from this man and what it's like to appreciate your fans.

Absolutely. Imma watch it right now.

Now, that would be an interesting list: the Top 10 most iconic moments in the Transformers history. That death scene would easily be top 3, and probably number 1. The tongue-in-cheek entry would be the end of "THe Low Road"..."Oh no...not THAT...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" (insert planetshaking Energon...ummm...'discharge' here)

I mentioned in the last post before you put this up that Hasbro ran a poll in the weeks going into Botcon 2010 where fans voted for who got the fifth spot in the HOF, and because Dinobot won that poll, he got the fans' choice induction into the HOF. Sounds fair, yes?

Posted by AutobotJazz on June 28th, 2010 @ 6:25pm CDT
A very deserving inductee indeed. There were some strong contenders this year. Soundwave, Jazz, Grimlock, and I forget the last nominee, Shockwave maybe. All could be front runners for induction next year.
Re: Dinobot Inducted into Transformers Hall Of Fame (1091576)
Posted by NemesisScourge on June 28th, 2010 @ 7:00pm CDT
This is a flawless choice. I'm very pleased Dinobot won. I voted for him without a second thought. He is by far one of the most amazing, interesting and dynamic Transformers characters ever created.

yes, i get that.

but what makes him a greater character in the history of our worlds than Optimus Primal, for example.

a true hero in every sense.

a am a beatwarsmachine super freak and can NOT understand that of all beast characters to represent the beast era...

DINOBOT!?

as i said, very cool.

but not as great, heroic or as monumental to the genre as Optimus Primal!

I just want to know how Dinobot was chosen to rep the beasts.

I dunno. He just was. I'm not arguing with the popular vote. Not much sense in it when there's as many reasons why as people that voted for Dinobot.

Do any of you believe that Dinobot won because the G1 vote was divided among Soundwave, Jazz, Grimlock, and Shockwave?

I voted for Dinobot because I knew that this would be the best chance to get him in. Because I knew that if he wasn't voted in this year he probably wouldn't get nominated next year.

Dinobot won because he is the best hero character from the Beast era, He was one of the Predacons but fought alongside his sworn enemy the Maximals due to Megatron's lack of honour. Plus even people that aren't TF fans acknowledge that Dinobot's death had the biggest impact on the Franchise.
Dinobot deserved this honour before any of the Beast era, and next will be BW Megatron.

Nah... In Optimal Optimus form, he was cool, but else, he was just like the other Optimuses.

Now Inferno, Rampage or Waspinator: they were cool... On second thought, every predacon was (except Scorponok and Terrorsaur, but they were fired early)

Still, from the BW cast, Dinobot and Deapth Charge were the most epic characters.

Nah, Dinobot won because of Willis and the Wiki advocating for him. I heard mention that someone discovered how to delete the cookie that claimed your vote for the day and that some ballet stuffing went on, but that's unconfirmed and I don't really have a problem with it anyway.

I personally think Soundwave should have been there... If I go around town and ask every random person I meet "Whats the first transformer that comes to mind" Your most likly to get one of three answers: Optimus Prime, Megatron, or Soundwave.
People who don't even like transformers remember the one that turns into a walkman.

Folks let's face it... the powers that be wanted a representative of a series other than Gen One. It validates all the other non Gen One work Hasbro did. To not recognize another series would be like admitting that they blew their load twenty five years ago and still haven't recovered from the 1986 movie. (They haven't.)

Grimlock for the HoF 2011.
