I am not denying that they got their Predakings mixed up (and in fact I'd like to point out again that they goofed on their Optimuses, too), I am just saying that G1 Predaking is not the "real" Predaking any more than BH Predaking is. And with all due respect, why are his insults okay, but my firing back is suddenly crossing a line?

You still don't seem to get it. Predaking is in the "best combiner" category, so the picture should be of a Predaking that combines. That's it. There is no "real" or "not real". It's the simple idea that the picture of Predaking in the best combiner category should be of the combining Predaking That is how this picture is wrong. No need for a debate.

I think you're misunderstanding. At no point did I say that it wasn't the wrong Predaking. At no point did I meant imply that it wasn't the wrong Predaking. What I mean to convey is that if there's a Predaking who should feel insulted by this comparison, it's not the one YoungPrime thinks it is.

I'm absolutely sick of the people who insist that everything other than G1 should be flushed down the toilet simply because it isn't G1, and if my response to one of those people was uncalled for, so was what I was responding to.

Now that I've got that out of my system... Let's start a pool. Last year was Strafe, this year it's Predaking, anyone wanna take bets on next year's case of mistaken identity? I'm putting a couple generic units of currency on Inferno.

For all those neurotic, they changed the pictures for Predaking and Primal.

There's Primal. They're in the app if you want to have a looksie

[LegendaryAntiHero]

app sounds like a cool idea. I should look for this in the Play store

I ain't got the app. Or a device for it.

How long will voting be open? Has that been revealed? Can we go off of previous years if not?

[Sabrblade]

How long will voting be open? Has that been revealed? Can we go off of previous years if not?

The original email (that came before all of the delays and technical difficulties) said the voting would end on June 5th.

Thanks for this! E-mails from the club I'm guessing?

Yeah, one of the first ones they sent out before we got the mountain of emails regarding the technical difficulties.

I'm going to assume that's still the date then since the app and registration weren't connected. Thanks again!

Oh darn, I got mixed up with BotCon registration.

The closing date for Hall of Fame voting wasn't given.

Oh wow, they planned on closing registration that early? What a mess. I'm betting attendance will be light this year (which they'll blame the location for and use as "proof" to keep it in CA every year )

Anyway, do you remember when previous years for HoF voting closed? I struggle with remembering dates

The official Hasbro Transformers YouTube channel has posted a new video, featuring the results of the Saturday night awards taking place at BotCon 2015 this past weekend - which saw the induction of a number of characters (fictional and not!) into the Transformers Hall of Fame under three categories:

• Favorite Character
• Best Combiner Character
• Best Musical Act

Watch the embedded video below, introduced and hosted by Frank Welker's Megatron to find out for yourself, and keep scrolling if you'd rather read them!

Who will be inducted into the Transformers Hall of Fame this year? There are a lot of worthy nominees and, as long as Megatron doesn’t take all of the trophies home himself, it should be an exciting evening.

• Favorite Character: Prowl!
• Best Combiner Character: Predaking!
• Best Musical Act: Vince DiCola!

The end credits are hillarious!

[Sabrblade]

You guys remember when I made that joke about having Frank Welker host the Hall of Fame?

Spooky, huh.

[PrymeStriker]

Yeah! Prowl's an amazing character! I'm glad he made it! Remember all those memorable scenes with him, like the one where he transformed? Or that one where he shot at the Decepticons and missed? I questioned my own motives in life after that scene. I cri evrtim 4 dayz when he died, because he was just such a prominent and well-portrayed character, his death scene was just heartbreaking.

I remember him getting controlled by Chip and...


Though, to be fair, there is more fiction than just cartoons and movies. Prowl's been notable in comics from Marvel, Dreamwave, and especially IDW.

Finally! Prowl made it in.

Primal was robbed! Nostolgia at its finest

Primal was robbed! Nostolgia at its finest

Couple years ago, BW Megs was beaten by Wheeljack.

This makes Primal's second loss.

I'm guess with Dinobot winning in the first year and Waspinator winning in the second year, people either got sick of BW characters winning or grew to think that the voting was rigged/set up so that a BW character would win every year. With Wheeljack winning in the third year, however, things seemed to feel more fair from then on.

Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled that Dinobot and Waspinator won the first two years, but I can see where the non-BW fans were coming from.

To draw parallels between TF and G.I. Joe, Prowl was sort of the equivalent of Stalker: Remembered for just showing up in early cartoons, but a clear leader in the comics.

And since someone went there for Prowl, as much as I LOVE Predaking and hope his win paves the way for updated Predacons in Combiner Wars, if you actually review his Sunbow and Marvel appearances, he's seriously the least impressive G1 Gestalt in terms of handling opponents his own size. He basically won by virtue of his toy looking like it could beat up anything else in your collection, but his track record doesn't really back that up. Add in Japanese continuity, and he's best remembered for meeting a most undignified and baffling end.

But Vince damn sure earned it! My joy in In-describe-ible!

I've heard the rigged theory as well, which is silly since Hasbro HATES Beast Wars It was honestly just the G1 vote being split. I think in previous years there were less options to divide the votes

[Whifflefire]

I liked the video, it was cute and creative, and the credits made me laugh.

Who let Paddles and Zombie Starscream on set? <shakes fist>
