After a decisive 2nd round victory over My Little Pony our beloved transforming alien robots have moved on round 3 of Mensa's Bracket Challenge. Round 3 brings an even tougher and very familiar challenger in G.I. Joe. The two franchises have been cozy and intertwined for years, but let's go ahead and show the Joes what's up!

Re: Transformers Featured In Mensa's Bracket Challenge

Transformers
1980-Present - Seed 4

The boys' version of the Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers set the toy world on its ear in 1984. Anyone and everyone just had to have these "robots in disguise." They could transform into everyday objects, usually vehicles or weapons, and a cartoon series and, eventually, films followed, turning a whole new generation on to these toys.

G.I. Joe
1980-Present - Seed 1

We know-the original figures came out long before 1981. To us, though, those were mostly just dolls. The line was relaunched in 1982, and the fighters were shrunk, turned into molded plastic, and had flexible arms, legs, and torsos-a major improvement. Soon, there was a whole line of vehicles and accessories to buy, and the brand spawned a successful TV show and movie (save your money). And don't worry, we, too, lost the weapons within days.

This will be tough. As a kid, I was more G.I. Joe than I was Transformers. But Transformers always had a place in my heart. Through time, I can definitely say The Transformers have fared better, especially after the release of their live action movies. I might still have to go with Joes on this one, though. They were a great, and thorough, and fully detailed toyline. As Transformers went on, their workmanship got worse. G.I. Joe got better. And more ambitious. YO JOE!!!

MLP lost? YEAH!!!!! This one however is going to be close. Whereas I'm totally voting for the bots, the Joes were recently given the title of #1 toyline of ALL TIME out of a list of the top 100 toylines. MLP didn't even make the top 20. Take that as you will.

No contest.

But enough about the GoBots - Transformers was far superior to them.

As much as I'm a big Transformers guy as the next die hard fan, but I have to go with GI Joe! yeah its 3 3/4 army guys with LARGE and sometime odd aircraft and vehicles, but at least some could float, Glide and so on. Plus, not many companies back then made a HUGE play sets that varied from 3 feet wide to 7 feet long! Hence the Cobra Terror Drome and the USS Flagg!!! Plus after Transformers: The Movie in the mid 80's I felt the direction for Transformers was off track, really didn't care for the headmaster and targetmasters that Hasbro had to offer, I mean I have some, but I know GI joe was a solid hit during those era. I know there will be friction between Joe and Transformers, and even now Joe is hitting a brick wall while Joe line is sinking and Hasbro better get their head on straight to save this line and hopefully it goes on for the next 50 years or more! I know Transformers will be there, just like GI Joe will be there as well, but Starwars is the real winner here and will live on for many, many years and will continue with no end.

Even if I'm a brony, I'm glad MLP lost. The MLP toys cannot compete with anything.
For the second to last round, here's my choices and why:

--Lego. Many years of my childhood were around Lego. I can still enjoy them today.
--Mr Potato Head. I dont really care about it, but as a wee lad, I did have more fun with Potato rather than Sketch.

--Transformers. Should I really explain that one?
--RC cars. Because I'm a boy.

--Electric trains. I only had a cheap one as a child but the community is HUGE and it's a pretty big market for the adult hobbyist. Freezbie cannot dare to compare.
--Army Men. Somehow, I see the Hulahoop as a fad that died 40 years ago. So Army Men win by default.

--Ball. Sure, the box is a classic, but only the ball is a toy but also the main part of so many pro sports and games.
--Teddy Bear. While water guns are nice, they are just for summer. Every simgle chid that isnt born in misery or a super foreign culture had one in it's life. And the Teddy Bear is always loved by the child.

I'm looking forward to see what the final round will look like. It may look like the choices I made because I'm awesome that way.

There is a difference.

"My Little Pony" = mostly meh

"My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" = That's where it's at.

But, as far as the toys go, anyone with eyes could tell that Transformers has alwasy had the superior toys.

And, what difference does it make? Transformers already won that round and rightfully so. G.I. Joe, however, will be a much bigger and more even challenge.

The Transformers continue to power their way through the competition in Mensa's Bracket Challenge! After two more decisive victories in Rounds 3 and 4 against G.I. Joe and the RC Car we find ourselves in the final four going up against Lego. Click here to vote!

LEGO
1950-1980 - Seed 1

Yeah, we cheated. LEGO first came out of Denmark in 1949, but this heavyweight found its stride post-1950. What started as a simple building block toy has taken off to become a multi million dollar business. Today, kids can build giant Death Stars and Harry Potter castles with Lego kits. We still like the old-school pieces that inspired imagination and creation. Though we do like changing the hairpieces on today's figures. Genius.

I had to betray the fandom here and vote LEGOs. There is just SOOOOOOO much a kid can do with LEGO bricks if he (or she) has imagination. And who has more imagination than kids? I built some pretty cool things as a kid. Or at least I felt they were pretty cool, they might not hold up so well now. As much as I love Transformers, and the ingenuity of a toy that can turn from a robot into an animal (I was a kid during Beast Wars) or a vehicle is usually pretty awesome, LEGOs are literally whatever you want them to be. Please don't hate me.

Ball
Timeless - Seed 1

It's impossible to say when the first child picked up a spherical object and fell in love. The infatuation, though, continues today. Bounce it; toss it; roll it; spin it; catch it. There aren't many toys as versatile, and name another contestant that is a key component of so many other toys and games. Try playing jacks with a cube. Ball and Paddle? It's even in the name!

Still, it's surprising. Lego also has a massive fanbase on several fansites.

As for this round, as much as I like the ball for its simplicity and sheer fun it provides, it's not nearly as cleverly engineered and designed as even the most basic TransFormer. [-(

Amusingly, Transformers has gotten less and less votes each round, until round 5.
Round 1 (vs. Tamagotchi): 1214 vs. 394 (this was before Seibertron publicized it)
Round 2 (vs. My Little Pony): 1049 to 160
Round 3 (vs. G.I. Joe): 640 to 249
Round 4 (vs. RC Cars): 217 to 158
Round 5 (vs. LEGO): 444 to 429
In fairness, there has been a decrease in total votes for pretty much everything each round, and I think it's true that a lot of us owe it to Seibertron that TFs have gotten as many votes as they have despite the overall decreasing numbers. I would forget after each round without Seibertron's reminders, and none of the other TF sites seems to be reporting on this. However, it kind of backfires at the same time because a few of us did vote for LEGO last round. Also, LEGO was a tough opponent so it probably inspired more people to vote either way than in previous rounds.
So bottom line, out of those 500,000 daily visitors, maybe 150 have regularly voted in this, at my estimation.

Remember Mensa's bracket challenge that was going on toward the end of 2012? Our beloved Cybertronians fought their way past several challenging opponents, which included My Little Pony, G.I. Joe, and Lego to face the timeless classic, the ball, in the final round. The results were posted earlier this year and it turns out we won!

Over the last six weeks, both the public and American Mensa members from around the country cast nearly 78,000 votes on 64 toys in four regions — timeless, pre-1950s, 1950-1980 and 1981-present. Each region was made up of 16 competitors, seeded 1 through 16, based on the strength of their résumés.

In the first round, the top seed from a given category faced off against the 16th seed from the same region; the second seed challenged the 15th seed, and so on. During the sixth week, the winner was chosen by you, the members...but which was it?

Transformers
1980-Present - Seed 4

The boys' version of the Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers set the toy world on its ear in 1984. Anyone and everyone just had to have these "robots in disguise." They could transform into everyday objects, usually vehicles or weapons, and a cartoon series and, eventually, films followed, turning a whole new generation on to these toys.

Wow, the final results took their sweet little time to come in!

Of course, the toughest opponent was LEGO.
However, that final round was kind of underwhelming. Sure, the ball is timeless, but it's more like an everyday object. Like a fork or a spade.
So, Transformers just won.

And I'm very glad! :grin:

Yeah, Lego deserved to be the closest call.

And here we were worried the poll would be spammed by Bronies; those numbers seem to imply that word never even made it into their circles. Or maybe most of them just care about the cartoon more than the toys, IDK.
