Nothing shocking about it. Peeps want to see Impactor with his own mold. Out of all six he's the only one that's never had his own unique mold and after 30 odd years, it's high time he did.

Simply put, the UK and the Aussies turned out in force because we want our arse kicking Impactor from the Marvel UK comics to finally get the love and recognition he deserves.

Frankly, I voted #NeedlenoseVsTracks, because although I have five of those characters as recent figures, there hasn't been a Tracks since 2010? 2011? But either way, I'm curious to see what a new Mirage toy will look like, since we got one in Combiner Wars a scant two years ago, and that one was pretty great.

I would of loved if initially he made a joke if the winner was like Erector Vs Discharge or something before revealing the real answer.

I know it would never happen but it's a funny thought, anyways congrats to Impactor he deserves it.

Unsurprising. I wanted Wheeljack to win, but I'm not upset with Impactor's victory. let's just hope they don't put a

symbol on the actual figure.

He's not a Con actually, apparently he has both symbols on because at this point in the war (Probably pretty earl) the Wreckers are mercenaries who work on both sides (I guess like Doubledealer).

I'm sure it's probably optional on the final figure or he has neither symbol on him.

I seem to recall a totally new mold of tacks coming out in 2015...

While Impactor never had an actual toy of his own.

Definitely an inbalance in the force.

PS: yeah yeah, I get what you mean

What if they only do the zombie one from City of Fear? Will this cause riots?

The fandom chooses the option that gives us 2 Autobots & deprives us of a new Decepticon.

Hasbro should have made a choice for Optimus Prime vs. Bumblebee to give this stupid fandom what it really wants/needs.

That's a little harsh, no? Are you not a member of this fandom?

I didn't get to vote, because I don't social media. But, I would have voted for this winner, so this worked out.
I'm just as excited for a new Mirage as I am for Impactor.

I'm sure there will be plenty of Decepticons in the line, despite your personal hatred of Bumblebee and other Autobots their important characters in the brand and they will always exist.

Decepticons are the bad guys so they will always have less of a prominence in the brand then the Autobots do it's always been that way and always will, that's just a fact pal that your going to have to accept.

And the insulting behavior is selfish, it's a mass vote and the winner won fair and square.

Anyone here who is legitimately surprised by this obviously didn't pay attention when I tallied the votes yesterday and told you that Impactor was winning by over 100 votes.

I ain't gonna complain! An actual zombified TF? Hell yeah!
That being said, if they go non-zombified I still expect to see zombie customs within a week of his release.

No, the fandom chose a character that has been long overdue his very own mold. I get that you want more Decepticons, I agree, but it's been 30 years, Impactor DESERVES this. (Mirage not so much)

As for "this stupid fandom" ... yeah well ... you're part of it too. Just sayin' :wink:

I voted Needlenose vs Tracks, and I have to be honest that this was my least favourite out fo the options (not because I dislike Impactor but just because I don't think a Deluxe will do him justice) but I'm still looking forward to seeing how Mirage and Impactor turn out. I just hope we do still get the others as well.

Well, If I'd remembered I would have voted Impactor as, so bully!

Wheeljack and Tracks already have good toys available and I wouldn't have minded a Needlenose or Spinister. If I could only choose one (and that was the deal) it would have been Impactor. The one thing that always bugs me about these types of votes is...

I've been living under a rock for the last few months. These aren't dreaded two-packs are they? I really don't need/want another Mirage.

Personally the Autobot didn't matter to me(I have a great 3rd party Impactor), I wanted a new Needlenose or Spinister, guess I'm odd man out.

No, two separate deluxe toys in the same wave.

Like Cobo I don't have social media, so I could not vote, and I really didn't have a *dog in this fight* so to speak since none of these characters really appeal to me. It would have been kind of nice to get a generations Tracks (the only one of this group I don't have a toy of...) , but oh well.

Good, glad impactor won, and it will be interesting to see what Cybertronian mirage looks like (and if hasbro will give us a new crash-I mean, fracture...as a redeco)

Re: Hasbro Transformers 2018 Fan Vote RESULTS!! (1942914)
Posted by Deadput on February 27th, 2018 @ 5:32pm CST

You know I almost sort of wish it was the WFC game style because I've wanted to see what a WFC style Mirage would look like, the Transformers Online version is a good stand in though.

I get that Decepticons do need more figures but I can't be too mad when I consider the fact that Impactor does not have many figures. I'm bummed I didn't get my pick but I also realize that this sounds like hasbro might be drumming up interest in the others. It was mentioned in the last Seibertron podcast that they chose characters that are relevant in the IDW comics. In the last 30 minutes of the podcast someone who was interviewed at toyfair was also speaking about how they wanted to start conversations about characters. You never know.

He's saying Mirage funny too, but I think it's just his East Coast accent( no offense John

). But he's certainly putting some "He-Man" on the "ore" In Impactor. :lol:

This two-pack thing seems really dumb.

Look at this thread -- no one gave a damn about a new Mirage, all anyone cared about was Impactor.

No one's going "Boo hoo, no Spinister", but lots of people wanted to see More Than Meets The Eye Part 1 Wheeljack.

Why not just have us vote on individual characters and make a two-pack of whichever two came out on top?

Good thing this wasn't a vote for a two pack, rather a vote for two toys that will be sold separately.

Also I would bet some small amount of money that we'll see at least one of the other four. Probably the space-mom-van Wheeljack.

If it's not a two-pack then it makes even LESS sense that we had to vote for two figures as a unit instead of just voting for our favorite individual toys.

oh and the announcer’s accent is definitely not “east coast” in nature lol. we all know east coasters don’t know how to pronounce their “r’s“.

I tend to agree that it should phonetically sound like Impact-ore, and not like "Impact-err". If they wanted it to sound like Impacter, that's how they would have spelled it.

Buut, we may never know, unless someone knows how to ask the original writers who created him?

If anyone cares, I read it in my head as "Impacter", dont know why, it always felt more natural. But looking at the spelling, I totally understand why it would be pronounced the other way.

In this case, it's because John Warden has had a tendency to say certain names weird. Most infamously, he says "Menasor" as "Men-uh-SAR".

Posted by Munkky on March 6th, 2018 @ 3:25pm CST

Probably not on topic, but I do wonder how much of War for Cybertron we'll see this year. If I had to guess, a couple of figures from wave 1 will most likely be revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, then a few days later the entire 2019 product range will be revealed in a leak.
:HEADHURTS:

Seriously though, if previous fan vote figures are anything to go by, I'd say Impactor and Mirage won't be released until wave 3 in Summer 2019, but we might see something like grey prototypes at New York Comic-Con (Apparently there's not going to be a HasCon this year, makes me wonder if the Hall of Fame vote will still happen?).

Posted by Galactic Prime on March 7th, 2018 @ 5:07pm CST

It doesn't matter, it's spelled a certain way and that's how you say it, Impact-OR, not ER. That's just some of these 'Murican's butchering the English language again by saying ER instead of OR
