Spinister and Needlenose (and those Autobots...) were pretty close, but as we know from previous polls they'll never ever be made into figures ever. Ever! :twisted:

My evil plan rolls into motion as I deny those true fan desired TFs by secret balloting Hasbro. Evil laugh. EVIL LAUGH! :twisted:

I am the opposite of OK. Since Wheeljack was one of the few Transformers to be shown Cybertronian modes in the original cartoon, he should be in the line, not in a contest to get into it.

Search your heart, you know this is really just to determine whose in the first wave. Wheeljack and his Coalition of Losers will be in like wave 3 or 4.

Story wise, I am okay with Impactor winning. I am just not sure out of context that Hasbro could retell the Tracks/Needlenose story and t be good enough and not be a riff. Impactor and Mirage take old themes, but they have never shared a story together. I'm not even sure whT story Wheeljack/Spinister would have.

Toy wise, Impactor and Mirage were the two I wanted least. I am quite fond of my TFSS Impactor and could sacrifice an "accurate" Impactor for someone else. Cybertronian Wheeljack or the two cons for example.

Oh well, time will tell.

Though I did vote for Impactor/Mirage, I would of been happy with any of these winning, I am missing any of these as I started to get back into collecting near the end of Combiner Wars and find that the ones I did miss, for the most part, I don't have a desire to hunt down for a good price. Especially as I look at the molds for the CW versions of most of these characters are so-so and the few I really want I'm keeping tabs on as I wait for my taxes to finish running in.
I'm curious and excited for this line to start showing us some previews, and if these contests are any clue, some of the toys we'll be getting are going to be characters we haven't seen much of.

In light of the winner being revealed today, I welcome our new Impactor overlords.

News Credits: 12 · Tue Feb 27, 2018 2:33 pm

Oh, that kinda sucks. Impactor should really be a Voyager IMO. Hopefully the figure will be good anyway, and hopefully Mirage will be decent.

Nothing shocking about it. Peeps want to see Impactor with his own mold. Out of all six he's the only one that's never had his own unique mold and after 30 odd years, it's high time he did.

Simply put, the UK and the Aussies turned out in force because we want our arse kicking Impactor from the Marvel UK comics to finally get the love and recognition he deserves.

Frankly, I voted #NeedlenoseVsTracks, because although I have five of those characters as recent figures, there hasn't been a Tracks since 2010? 2011? But either way, I'm curious to see what a new Mirage toy will look like, since we got one in Combiner Wars a scant two years ago, and that one was pretty great.

News Credits: 54 · Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:27 pm

I would of loved if initially he made a joke if the winner was like Erector Vs Discharge or something before revealing the real answer.

I know it would never happen but it's a funny thought, anyways congrats to Impactor he deserves it.

News Credits: 42 · Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:29 pm

Unsurprising. I wanted Wheeljack to win, but I'm not upset with Impactor's victory. let's just hope they don't put a

symbol on the actual figure.

He's not a Con actually, apparently he has both symbols on because at this point in the war (Probably pretty earl) the Wreckers are mercenaries who work on both sides (I guess like Doubledealer).

I'm sure it's probably optional on the final figure or he has neither symbol on him.

I seem to recall a totally new mold of tacks coming out in 2015...

While Impactor never had an actual toy of his own.

Definitely an inbalance in the force.

PS: yeah yeah, I get what you mean

What if they only do the zombie one from City of Fear? Will this cause riots?

I wanted Wheeljack, but I am also happy with Impactor. Hooray!

The fandom chooses the option that gives us 2 Autobots & deprives us of a new Decepticon.

Hasbro should have made a choice for Optimus Prime vs. Bumblebee to give this stupid fandom what it really wants/needs.

That's a little harsh, no? Are you not a member of this fandom?

I didn't get to vote, because I don't social media. But, I would have voted for this winner, so this worked out.
I'm just as excited for a new Mirage as I am for Impactor.

I'm sure there will be plenty of Decepticons in the line, despite your personal hatred of Bumblebee and other Autobots their important characters in the brand and they will always exist.

Decepticons are the bad guys so they will always have less of a prominence in the brand then the Autobots do it's always been that way and always will, that's just a fact pal that your going to have to accept.

And the insulting behavior is selfish, it's a mass vote and the winner won fair and square.
