And how is that supposed to refute the claim that Soundwave didn't do much?

Seriously, G1 Soundwave is one of the most overrated characters of all time.

Commanding a subgroup is doing nothing? Overrated, maybe, but definitely memorable.

Ah man! Dinobot got 4th?! I was hoping he'd at least get 3rd. Where's the Beast Wars love?

I guess we'll just have to settle for the Henkei Dinobot!

Soundwave overrated? I don't see that. The iconic voice, the spy functions he and his minions carried out. Battles with Blaster - pretty cool character. Don't understand the disparaging comments. I knew he & Grimlock were solid for the top vote getters. It's a real shame Jetfire didn't even make the preliminary top 10.

I'm not as familiar with G2, armada, BW etc., but I agree there should've been a slot for at least one non-G1 character in all fairness. They should be inducting at least 3 figs per year. At this rate, it'll be 100 years before they get to the other continuities' characters!

A character should not be judged solely by their voice or gimmicks.

And there were only, what, two fights between the two? Three fights, maybe? For being rivals, these two sure didn't face off one-on-one very often.

Beast Wars Dinobot got fourth place ('tis a shame, really, as he probably far more character development and personality than all the others to choose from in that list. ).

Whoopsie. Looks like it's our Top 5, not our Top 3.

Welcome Jazz and Dinobot!

i'm not going to sit here & defend SW --if you don't like him, you don't like him. I'm not judging him solely off his voice, but it is unique, very cool and memorable, next to Prime, Megs, & SS voices, probably the next most memorable. They really didn't give him any backstory in G1 --but that's not his fault, they didn't give many of the other decepticons any of that either.
I need to watch all of the BW, to know more about Dinobot. With the few episodes i saw, i don't remember much about him.

I'm not saying I don't like Soundwave (I do like him, actually). I just think that there are plenty other better choices who would deserve such an honor more than him.

Ya, #4 is great for him. Could've went either way with Grimlock, but I can't picture him not making a collective/fans top 10 list though.
