We won't officially know until the 17th of July, so you didn't miss anything.

When do you guys think Hasbro will announce the winner? And more importantly, who do you think won?

Posted: **Wed Jul 17, 2019 2:49 pm**

I think most fans assume Needlenose won, as for the announcement...? There's a little over 10 hours left in the day (Assuming EDT based on where Hasbro's HQ is), but they could save it for an early morning reveal at SDCC tomorrow.

Hasbro won, of course :-D

Wow, somehow I was never in this thread, odd.

I voted needlenose and I honestly believe he'll win.

Runamuck won???? I didn't even vote, but form everyone's comments here, it seems like Needlenose was the clear winning??? :-?

Yeah it was just announced on Hasbro's panel I'm just watching the comments, but I'm sure someone will post pics and an official summary soon.

That's... Unexpected... When I voted it totally looked like the vote was swinging toward Needlenose

Posted: **Thu Jul 18, 2019 3:51 pm**

Hasbro had a winner long before the vote, you do realize....

Personally I believe that of all the *fan polls*. I've never participated because I don't have FB, but just by coincidence, the one I wanted to win in 2016 (Trypticon) actually was the winner, the rest...not even close.

Yet, Hasbro seemed real keen on Star Saber winning the POTP poll, what with the Evolution gimmick evidently being specifically built around his "Battle Up" transformation.

Had Needlenose won, I would have accepted it. I have no particular reason to not have him made. However, I did pick Runamuck because I wanted a Cybertronian mode Battlecharger (even though now as a stowaway, he might not actually even be that).

Going by this forum, I would have thought Needlenose was going to win, but hey...not everybody who votes is on this forum. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy.

Were they though? Because G1 fans had Arcee, Megatron, Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, Thunderwing and Hound, Japanese G1 fans had Deathsaurus and Star Saber, but Beast Wars fans had only Primal. All the other groups of fans were divided, but Beast Wars fans had a single option to rally behind

I said "Hasbro', not "Fans".

Warden even talked about Star Saber potentially coming in interviews he gave prior to POTP's release.

My point is that Hasbro could have easily made Star Saber the only Japanese G1 character in the vote, and put Dinobot or Megatron in Deathsaurus' place

I don't buy in to the conspiracies about the votes, someone would have raised the flag at some point, especially with how many they've done. Think of all the people who would have been in on it, and they've all been loyal? Even the ones who no longer work for hasbro? Nah simplest solution is that the votes are legit and that runamuck got a last minute surge.

I would more put that down to Warden's G1 bias only giving up one spot to Beast Wars. I wish Star Saber or Thunderwing had won, since they would have worked with the gimmick better than Primal. Although we'll probably still see them down the road.

Honestly? I think the only "rigging" Hasbro did to this poll was padding the choices with obvious also-rans. The Battlechargers do have their fans, plus they were show characters. I think Needlenose would be a more likely choice for "predetermined winner" if there was one, on account of SIEGE Spinister.

And remember, these polls are really more survey polls than "winner take all" polls.

Now that Runamuck is the winner, I guess I should get back to work on that aborted Needlenose custom. Already have a spinister, quake, horri-bull, and tracks...

You do realize that the way things have been going we're still likely to get Spinister, just later in the year, right?

Well, bugger.

so poor needlenose has now lost 2 fanpolls in the space of a year pretty much. What the hell man, poor guy can't catch a break
