He's a decent character, both in his original G1 form, as well as his new role in Prime as TFP's version of Beast Wars Depth Charge.
I just hope that when Beast Wars Megs does get in (as I'm certain he likely will, being the best Megatron ever), that David Kaye is on hand to accept the award. That shouldn't be too tough, as I believe he attends a lot of cons these days .

But much, much, MUCH more importantly, Arcee didn't win. For one thing, they'd surely have lumped the pictured G1 Arcee together with the current TF Prime Arcee, despite their being as completely different characters as G1 and BW Megatron no matter how you slice it, deserving to be inducted separately.
And since no Fembot has been inducted yet, that leaves the door open for Blackarachnia to be first at BotCon 2013. Not only was she a much more complex character, even if you don't lump her Animated counterpart together with her BW self, but the first female TF being a Beast Wars character would send a powerful message to anyone at Hasbro determined to leave that neck of the franchise "retired" or what not.

I for one, am happy. Wheeljack was my favorite G1 that wasn't voiced by Welker or Cullen.

Not my first or second choice (Sky-Byte and Megaton, respectively), but Wheeljack is a well-deserved addition.
(here's hoping the two Preds get auto-inducted next year)

Sky byte???! you gotta be freakin kiddin me....

You know honestly it seems like the botcon 2011 inductions were leapfrogged into the HOF (Michael Bay etc) because of the whole correlation with the southern california entertainment industry and the DOTM release timing of it all, 2012's awards seem to be pcking up where 2010 left off with the begining of the Hall of Fame ceremony. I'm also relieved to see some postumeous award shout outs to those that have left us over the interviening decades...Chris Latta (Starscream) for example...I'd like to see Scatman Crothers mentioned next year...great Botcon this year, Seibertron staff have been working their asses off and staying on top of things, and yet still all the while taking the time to make each individual from our forum here (and other forums as well) feel welcome!
This is one great fan community to be a part of!

Now Hasbro, how about a G1 reissue to celebrate?

Just 'cuz they can't trademark "Hot Rod" is no excuse.
Quoted for awesome. Even if it was sarcastic.
As for the winner, I'm disappoint. It would have been nice if Arcee or Beast Megatron won. The only distinctions Wheeljack can claim are he was the first character to appear and speak in the G1 cartoon and he created the Dinobots. Otherwise, totally worthless.

Sky Byte was a comedy relief character.
Arcee G1 was a token Fembot she didn't get balls until Prime
Hotrod got Optimus killed so no way.
Beast wars Megs as cool as he was gotta go with Jacky the mad scientist.

Of course that's how it seems every year. Always the one you least expect.
Congrats Jacky, you deserve it
