So I suppose my question would be to the moderators: , should I post the totals or would that screw things up? Perhaps just post the top 10?

Seriously I was bored. There are only so many job applications I can fill out and so many times I can clean the house.

I wanna hear it.

I don't want to post it without permission from a News Crew or Moderator...I don't want them to go :michaelbay:

on my ass. I will say these teasers:

There are 17 characters with double-digit vote totals.
There are 3 characters with over 20 votes.
The top vote-getter has nearly 50% more votes than the second place vote-getter.
There are 4 Beast Wars characters in the top 17.
3 of the top 17 are exclusive to G1.

Bleh, BW Megatron is boring. If it has to be BW, it can atleast be a sexy fembot, like Blackarachnia

I'm really surprised Devastator's not getting more votes. Especially with the exposure from the 3rd party toys this year and having a movie presence. (Prefer G1 though of course)

Have to agree on that a bit. However, his character- whether G1 or otherwise- was never very deep. You could pretty much just wade across his spark pool...no diving allowed though.

The funny thing I'm seeing is the number of people who are creating new profiles just to get their votes in. It'd be interesting to see how many have current profiles and are just trying to stack the votes in their favor. It's like a Chicago election :-$

BW Megatron Ooooo.... Yeessssss!!!!!!
The real question remains, which version & would this include the Beast Machines versions??? Well lets see that could give us the classic purple t-rex, the transmetal t-rex, transmetal2 dragon, the tranmetal2 dragon who tried to un dragon himself, the floating head fortress, or maybe the Optimal Megatron?!??!?

If just the Beast Wars then Id love a perfect original or transmetal t-rex! But if I could choose from all?! Either a show accurate BM dragon complete with the Cybertron link thrown or Optimal Megatron for the the perfect showdown...

Megatron, Megatron, Megatron...
All hail Megatron!!!

OK, well since no one has objected, here's the top 10 (or 11 depending on ties) in no particular order:

Devastator
Blackarachnia
Rattrap
Ultra Magnus
Unicron
Arcee
Megatron (Beast Wars)

This is unofficial though, just from want I'm calling my "Boredom Project".

2) Tigerton...deep character.
3) Primal...the leader who was made not born.
4) Armada Starcream...liked what they did with his character.
5) Beast Wars Megs...great villain sharp witty cunning.

Armada Starscream is already in with the rest of the Starscreams.

Thanks for the clarification. I find each lineage to be different but understand the need to consolidate as well..cheers!

"Lineage", huh?

(speaking in snooty voice) I puuuursonally love the 2003 Starscream...it has a very light hint of pear and a peppery finish. It goes puuurrrfectly with the pate' and oysters...an egggsilent red wine... :KREMZEEK:

..sorry...first thing that came to mind. Maybe I shouldn't have given up alcohol for Lent... :HEADHURTS:

It is so tuff to pick 5. My favorite is already in the hall of fame. Megatron! All Hail Megatron!! But if I had to pick 5 that haven't yet been inducted that should have been already I might add. Because honestly waspinator? yes he was cool but he could have been inducted much later. He came along much later in the universe and their are many others that came before him that deserve to be in the hall of fame in my opinion. But here goes my 5 picks.

-Wheeljack
-Devastator (Dont know if he'll count since he is a combiner but he deserves a slot)
-Hound
-Unicron
-Alpha Trion

I say whelljack because he had a big to do with alot of the Transformers inventions. Including the Dinobots!

Devastator because he is the first combiner unless you consider Reflector the first and he only had 3 bots anyways and wasnt that popular. Devastator is and always has been an awesome force.

Hound, I always remember watching transformers when i was young and Hound always stood out to me. His voice reminded me of my father I think even though they didnt sound at all alike. I just always liked hound. I hated how he was cut out of the movie and series completely. You only see him for a split second in the 80's cartoon movie then thats it.

Unicorn, what else can be said? the only transformer of his kind. The size of an entire freaking planet!

And last but not least. Alpha Trion because he created Optimus Prime omong his many other accomplishments. He has been around since the beginning of Cybertron. He is one of the first and should ahve a slot in the Hall of Fame.

1: Megatron (BW)
2: Rattrap (BW)

1) Hot Rod (in one day he took out unicron, defeated galvatron & reunited cybertron)

2) Rattrap (we're all gonna die)

3) Lockdown (Lance Henriksen enough said)

4) Unicron (Destroyer of worlds and bigger than cybertron voiced by orson welles)

5) Blackarachnia (was going to put arcee but then we'd have to deal with the tfprime crap plus arachnia is badass and needs more recognition)

GEEWUN and such.

You don't have to like it but keep it to yourself.

Why? Isn't that the point of a message board...to share opinions and such?

You'd think so, but you know how it gets sometimes.....

If the vote compiling is still going, I've got these:

1. Devastator, the original G1 one. Introduced combiner teams, that's most likely enough of a credential.

2. Blitzwing
3. Sunstreaker
4. Thundercracker
5. Prowl

Optimus Primal

Rat trap (BW)

Tigertron (BW)

Black Arachnea (BW) not sure on spelling on her name.

Air razer. (BW) not sure on spelling on this name.

1. Powerglide
(Personal Favorite gets my biased #1 spot,
but I'll try to be more sensible with the others
when it comes to characters' significance in TF history)

2. Arcee
3. Unicron
4. Wheeljack
5. Devastator

or (if D is ineligible because of the whole combiner/gestalt aspect)

5. Hot Rod
