Soundwave, 'nuff said and no questions asked! He should already be there.

Ok, to be contradictory with what I said, I have to say that Shockwave would also be an excelent choice and should also be there.

If this is anything like the WWF hall of fame then the first year the inductees will be their biggest bot who died and a bunch of company men who did nothing more than say "yes sir" often. This will go on a few years until recognizing older stars goes out of fashion at which time the HOF will close until Hasbro buys their competition and realizes how much money is to be made off of their history; it is also at this time that the CEO of Hasbro thinks his company now controls and is the keeper of all toy history. Even then it will still be 2-3 years before their biggest bot ever gets in and even then the one bot that laid the ground work for them will never get in since he doesn't like the direction that Hasbro has been going in for over 20 years.

In all seriousness ya'll did catch the little part about inducting those that helped pave the way for TF's? This might be interesting as there has been discussion over the years as to who "created" the Transformers. In my opinion the Japanese gentleman who created and copyrighted Convoy should be inducted first.

My opinion of HOF is bots that have stood the test of time since their creation, spanning as many avenues of Transformers as possible (G1, animated, Bayverse, IDW, toys, etc...). With that thouhgt process I can't see anyone going with any other choices besides Grimlock, Devastator, Ironhide, or Soundwave. Maybe we could sneak one of the other seekers in ther as well (Skywarp or Thundercracker). I think the initial inductees should have been 10 instead of 5 because I do feel Soundwave and Grimlock earned places to be there already. But right now the inductee I pick is Devastator. He was the first Gestalt and without him we would have never seen Superion, Predaking, or any other of the combiners that kick ass right now. Devs needs to be in.

One could make a case for Arcee too...causing the whole gender debate, toy debate, etc.

All of us NOT going to Botcon really need to get together and nominate Wheelie, so that everyone in the hall has to applaud when they announce his entry into the hall of fame.

Needs to happen so the we non attendees can know that we made it happen!

Yes. I second that motion! Wheelie for the HOF!

I'm obviously missing something about wheelie, it must be some kind of joke. It looks like Soundwave is peoples choice at the moment, he plays a much bigger role than Grimlock did, and for pure play ability he's a great toy, and the fact the weapons are batteries is a great feature, he's got no flaws and Megatron can't do without him. Ok mass shifting, but he's the swiss army knife of transformers, and apart from blaster who is a poor alternative there is no other transformer like him.

by **Mechas8n** » Sat Mar 27, 2010 11:28 am

Nope, Wheelie, Some kind of joke, You have hit the nail on the head

Its all to do with Irony

You know, to share similar properties with Iron

I'm more interested to know 7500 what? Toys? Characters? Including comics?

*points to sig*

'nuff said.

Anyone have a problem with it ... pay for my trip to BotCon and meet me there.

What's with all this retro 1984 thinking? Think bigger! Think... 1985! You want a Decepticon? You want more than Season 1? You want a COMBINER? You want a character that has been consistantly awesome in every series he's ever been in? You know what you want? You want SWINDLE!

You know you do.

GRIMLOCK gets my vote.

mainly as in the comics he's the foil for optimus that starscream is to megs.

i just get the awfull feeling that if he gets in TF3 bay will choose the moronic cartoon version.

interesting to see NO ONEs nominated a person to be honored for contributing to TF like they asked so ill kick it off.

To me that'd have to be FURMAN.

I dont think the franchise wouldve had the longevity it did if not for what he laid down in the comics, yes budianski started things off but furman ran with it and theres a whole slew of crap that wouldnt exist if not for him . he's influenced in one way or another every TF writer since.
