In 2010, Hasbro founded its TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame, honoring humans and robots that have left an everlasting mark on the world of toys, entertainment and CYBERTRON during the past 30 years of “ROBOTS IN DISGUISE” action. Now in its fifth year, Hasbro is once again turning to fans to help select two Fans’ Choice robot inductees to make up the class of 2014!
** SELECT YOUR NOMINEES FOR 2014 BY CLICKING HERE **
You can tell us who you'd like to be considered for the 2014 TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame by no later than 12 p.m. Central on Monday June 2nd, 2014. All polling result lists from the various Transformers fansites will be combined together (each outlet getting an equal voice) with the #1 character on each list worth 5 points, etc. The resultant point values will be used to generate the final ballot of five choices, which will be voted upon in early June on the official Transformers page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/transformers).
The two characters receiving the most fan votes in the final polling will be announced at Hasbro’s panel at Transformers BotCon in Pasadena, June 20-22!
As a reminder, below are the characters who have already been inducted into the Hall of Fame and are therefore not eligible to be inducted this year.
TRANSFORMERS CURRENTLY IN THE HALL OF FAME:
Optimus Prime
Megatron
Bumblebee
Starscream
Dinobot (Beast Wars)
Ironhide
Ratchet
Soundwave
Waspinator
Grimlock

Prowl, Smokescreen (not sure if G1 or prime) and also Lockdown since he is the main villain for this years Bay movie so now is his time to shine.

I'd love to see Black Arachnia get in before Arcee.
Also voted for Scorponok, but I too wonder which one: does Hasbro consider G1, Beast Wars, Energon, and Bayniverse Scorponok to all be the same character? While Energon Scorp was clearly homaging several aspects of the original (the one I truly meant to vote for), the other two have precious little in common with them besides the general shape of their alt modes.

Arcee - Some Fembot equality! What?! No... I like the new insane, assassin Arcee.
Cyclonus - He's been integral throughout the Lost Light's trip and he made a good turn as an Autobot.
Omega Supreme - Give the big guy the recognition he deserves as the Autobots 'last line of defense'.
Rattrap - Oh... for bootin' up cold!
Thundercracker - Pure childhood nostalgia vote. One of my first 3 TFs next to Soundwave and Optimus.

Scorponok: A great Villain
Tailgate: Tiny Ancient Dude, nuff said

Astrotrain: Always had a soft spot ever since I had his toy.

How is Devastator not on the nominees list?!?! He's a super popular G1 character, a great toy and the FIRST combiner. He's the Jackie Robinson of Transformers and should already be in the Transformers HOF.
I don't get the Lockdown love. Has he been that integral in the Transformers universe? Putting him in over say someone like Omega Supreme or Prowl would be like putting Mike Trout into the baseball HOF over Frank Thomas. I need to see more from Lockdown for him to jump a lot of the G1 and Beast Wars candidates.

The list is just there to simplify data collection since the HoF has been shrunken down to a two minute footnote in a Hasbro powerpoint and isn't nearly a big of a deal as they made it out to be at first. Please vote - posting choices in this thread won't be looked at as far as I understand it.

Scotty P, I totally get the purpose of the list and I think it's great that we get to vote. However, I believe Devastator is an obvious nominee. That said, it's much easier for me to criticize the list after the fact than make it up myself.

After being erroneously omitted from the poll earlier, Devastator has been added to the list. Unfortunately, when I added Devastator, it cleared out all of the previous votes without warning me. Urgh. Please vote again if you already voted this morning. Please accept our apology for the earlier omission and for the inconvenience of having to resubmit your vote. Thanks!

Devastator was supposed to be in the list. I must have replaced him with someone else by accident when I was trimming the list down to 25. Now we've got 26. Oh well!
Please vote again ... after I added Devastator, it cleared out all of the data without warning me that it would do that.

If one needs more, consider how he's gone from "random name use character" to bizarre new-mold exclusive (still unique in that regard) to one of the most beloved characters of recent history. A rags-to-riches story!

Devastator - What's not Hall of Fame material about the first combiner the franchise had?
Prowl - A classic 1984 character, totally worth a spot.
Lockdown - One of the best characters from Animated, so much so that he's made the jump to other media, including a spot in the new movie.
Bulkhead - Honestly this was a random choice... no reason other than I like him...
Swerve - Because Swerve.

Hrm.
None of them are in the poll.
I get the process that went into making these choices, but... it just... feels a bit limited. Sorta restricted.

That's because it takes a lot of time to tally up the results when it's a free for all due to spelling errors and discrepancies (Skybyte vs Sky-Byte vs Sky Byte vs Sky-Bite), choices of over thousands of characters over the course of 30 years, and that many people don't follow the instructions about how to format answers, I decided it was best (and easiest) to do it this way going forward, especially since the Hall of Fame has been reduced from an extremely cool event to a brief mention at the end of the Hasbro panel. Without the Hall of Fame presentation which was really awesome the first couple of years, I don't see the point of continuing this any more from a time standpoint.

I agree completely. Lockdown was great in Transformers animated, but I can't give him any extra points for being in the latest live action movie. For all we know Lockdown could end up in the "Michael Bay Hall of Shame" with Jetfire, Wheelie, etc.
Here's how I voted:
1) Devastator - The first combiner in the transformers universe and a great G1 toy. The only negative for this guy was the horrible treatment given to him by Michael Bay (See: giant balls). A hugely popular character who should have been put the HOF much earlier than this.
2) Prowl - I'm a sucker for the G1, season 1 cast, but Prowl also was reborn as a kick-ass ninja in Transformers Animated. He's got a lot of great toys from G1, to Animated to last year's Masterpiece. He's in.
3) Omega Supreme - Omega Supreme was the first giant character and paved the way for Metroplex, Trypticon, Fort Max and Scorponok. He's the Wilt Chamberlain of the Transformers world and was a coveted G1 toy back in the day. "Omega Supreme is invincible!" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1psVfPb6uA
4) Cyclonus - Galvatron's badass second in-command. Smart and loyal. If Megatron had Galvatron instead of Starscream, the Autobots would have been in trouble. Just a great character all-around who's held up well over time.
5) Rodimus - He edges out Arcee and Unicron, but it was a tough call for me. As a matter of principle, I can't go against the Matrix of Leadership.

1) Devastator - The first combiner in the transformers universe and a great G1 toy. The only negative for this guy was the horrible treatment given to him by Michael Bay (See: giant balls). A hugely popular character who should have been put the HOF much earlier than this.
2) Prowl - I'm a sucker for the G1, season 1 cast, but Prowl also was reborn as a kick-ass ninja in Transformers Animated. He's got a lot of great toys from G1, to Animated to last year's Masterpiece. He's in.
3) Omega Supreme - Omega Supreme was the first giant character and paved the way for Metroplex, Trypticon, Fort Max and Scorponok. He's the Wilt Chamberlain of the Transformers world and was a coveted G1 toy back in the day. "Omega Supreme is invincible!" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1psVfPb6uA
4) Cyclonus - Galvatron's badass second in-command. Smart and loyal. If Megatron had Galvatron instead of Starscream, the Autobots would have been in trouble. Just a great character all-around who's held up well over time.
5) Rodimus - He edges out Arcee and Unicron, but it was a tough call for me. As a matter of principle, I can't go against the Matrix of Leadership.

Putting Lockdown in now would be the equivalent of putting a pro athlete into their HoF while they're still actively competing, imo.

Wish Cheetor or Rhinox was on the list but I understand why Rattrap was there.

Even after the explanation for why this site is using the poll format (apparently as opposed to tallying up nominees from the lists in these comments), I see several posts that continue with the lists. Am I correct in assuming that those lists aren't getting folks anywhere on this site?
If so, I would still welcome discussion on this topic. We can all talk about why Swerve is the idol of millions!

The poll is the only data I will be collecting on Monday. If people are posting their nominations but not making selections in the poll, then their "nominations" will NOT count. Hopefully the people who have posted their nomination in their post have also selected their choices in the poll.

Thundercracker ftw! Decided for Sideswipe, Blurr, Blitzwing and Prowl.
Would rather Bruticus over Devastator purely because Starscream's Brigade being my favourite episode.

Voted. Devastator, Unicron, Omega Supreme, Blitzwing, and Scorponok. I'd be happy if Blackarachnia was completely forgotten about.

I don't like when voting contests have you pick from a set list. This is who I want, Sideswipe, Skywarp, Windcharger, Prowl, and Cyclonus. All generation 1.

None of my first choices were in the poll either, but I went with what was available.

Well, unless you vote in the poll, none of those will be counted.SideswipeSkywarp wrote:I don't like when voting contests have you pick from a set list. This is who I want, Sideswipe, Skywarp, Windcharger, Prowl, and Cyclonus. All generation 1.

It seems that when you put in Devastator, it "bumped" my choices to the next previous vote, such as Omega Supreme instead of Overlord, Ravage instead of Rodimus, Springer instead of Swerve. Odd...
