I mean, I'd think that someone like Simon Furman (who's worked on TF material for nearly all 26+ years) or Frank Welker (who's voiced a large chunk of iconic G1 characters plus many recent ones) would have gotten in before these two. It's like, these are getting in so quickly for their recent efforts before some of those who have been with the franchise for a lot longer.
I'm not saying that these two shouldn't get in. Just that they should... wait their turn.
The following, IMHO, should be inducted before Bay/Spielberg (in no particular order, though):
- Frank Welker - voiced the majority of the G1 cast (including Megatron, Galvatron, and Soundwave)
- Simon Furman - penned probably more TF stories than anyone else, and created the Primus & Unicron god concept
- Bob Forward & Larry DiTillio - head writers of Beast Wars, which shaped all future fiction to come after it
- David Kaye - voiced more Megatrons than anyone else, as well as voicing an Optimus Prime (and a Grimlock), and more
- Flint Dille - one of the story editors for the G1 cartoon
- Susan Blu - voiced G1 Arcee and a few other G1 females, but more importantly, voice director for Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and Animated
- Nelson Shin - producer of the G1 cartoon and director of the G1 movie
- Wally Burr - voice director for the G1 cartoon
- Stan Bush - performer of iconic Transformers songs such as "The Touch"
- Scott McNeil - voiced numerous character roles in all of the Beast Era and all of the Unicron Trilogy
- ShÅhei Kohara & Floro Dery - designed the original animation models of the many G1 characters (yes, I know about the infamy surrounding Dery's history in the fandom, but he still played an important role in the franchise's origin -- the dude designed Unicron and the Matrix!)
- Margaret Loesch - formers president and CEO of Marvel Productions during the time of the G1 cartoon, in which she served as a producer of it, and is currently the head of the Hub television network.

Hope to see you guys too. I'll mostly be hanging with the three bros that run Unicron.com (my other main TF site, at which I am also an admin), but I hope to meet some of you Seibertronians as well.jON3.0 wrote:It's not that I don't drink at ALL...
