Agreed. Something for next year I suppose!

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.

BlackArchnia for hall of Fame

Hot Rod/Rodimus, Blackarachnia, Arcee (G1), Weirdwolf, Rattrap. But seeing as how weirdwolf isnt there i had to go lockdown

Lance Henriksen is really all i need to say but i will add that Lockdown is a bounty hunter that keeps parts of his prey as trophies, in other words hes Bad Ass

Gonna have to go with:

Bulkhead, Devastate, and Lockdown. 3 awesome characters.

Swerve



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!

I understand Lockdown is popular right now, but he shouldn't go into the Hall of Fame before classic characters like Devastator, Prowl, Rodimus, etc.

How is Unicron not in the HoF yet? Besides him, I picked Rodimus, Arcee, Cyclonus, and Scorponok.

Whirl
Arcee
Devastator
Lockdown
Blitzwing

Cyclonus, Lockdown, Omega Supreme, Rodimus and Sky-Byte.

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.

They're doing the Hall of Fame voting this year? Well, better late than never.

I know who I want to vote for!

*reads the instructions*

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.

After some thought, I've gone with the following:

Blackarachnia
Overlord
Rattrap
Sky-Byte
Springer

Unicron, Lockdown and Bludgeon

Cyclonus
Devastator
Rodimus
Sixshot
Whirl

Devastator, unicron, trypticon

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.

Bulkhead
Rumble
Alpha Trion
Rhinox
Computron

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

Astrotrain

Blitzwing

Blurr

Cyclonus

Prowl
