Done... thanks once again mate

[Mythirax]

Wooo - Thank you for taking this survey - Also did it, but didn't answer as much as I normally would. As I didn't collect the same way this year :p

[Bidoofdude]

Done. Many thanks as always.

[Trent]

Done :)

[prjkt]

Voted last night/this morning whenever

Tough to decide on some of my favourites there

[Trent]

Oh and I didn't vote for Trev. I voted for someone that actually deserves it ;):p

[BigTransformerTrev]

And thus the smear campaign begins. :rolleyes:

Ripping down ones opponent before they've even spoken a word? You should have gone in to politics either here or in the US - you would have been a natural! Someone remind me why I vote for Trent each year?

Time to get my crew into action methinks! :D

[M-bot]

Voted. Many thanks once again Paulbot!:D

I am simply performing my civic duty. Someone needs to stand up to your tyranny. I see through this visage you try to project. I know, deep down, you just want to watch the world burn.

Only those parts that won't bow to me. Those parts that are happy to live under the benevolent jackboot of my oppression will be spared the cleansing fires of my wrath.

I've never made a secret of this - in fact I'm quite proud of my public relation policies :D

[CHILENO20]

So what of those that find themselves enjoying a bit of mashed/baked/souped pumpkin every now and then? Will they find themselves the focus of all your wrath similar to how Trump demonized the Mexican/Hispanic population of the US? You gonna build a wall around all the pumpkins in Australia? I suppose the gourd lovers of Australia to blame for the uneven distribution of Titans Return figures throughout Australia?

OTCA deserves better.

And you vote for me because I'm awesome.

[DaptoDog]

Done and look forward to seeing the results. Many thanks!

Don't vote for Trev. Vote for someone who desperately needs the social validation, like Ultra Marginal.

Hey, I was hoping for about 15 million write-in votes for my campaign to become PM (http://www.bigangrytrev.com/?p=227). I only ended up with about 180 thousand - I need the social validation too :(

[Hursticon]

Voted!

Thanks as always, Paul ;)

It needed more bacon, but I did it.

Besides enough of this one man posturing. We need another contender! Someone who strives for peace through tyranny. I give you this man. This man called Megatran! Known universally for his one line quips, generous Santa like raffles and questionable hygiene. Vote 1 Megatran! I did.

Besides who's name works better in these campaign trails.

Megatran. Yes he can.

Megatran, Megatran, he's our man. If anyone can do it, he can!

Megatran sitting on the can. Someone please turn on the fan...

Voted. Great job again Paul.

Heh - lets face it mate, we all know it's gonna be taken out by Griffin. It's always taken out by Griffin (and quite rightly so), even if he insists people shouldn't vote for him :p

But with Sinnertwin, Jetfire_in_the-Sky, Mythirax and Starscream77 having various 'BTT for 2016' logo's as their signature for the last 12 months, they deserve the entertainment of me at least trying to go for the gold :D

And as for Megatran - a most worthy fellow indeed - but who is it he comes to when he needs advice (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=22799&page=6) about flatulence and vacuum cleaners (http://www.bigangrytrev.com/?p=683) eh? ;)

We really need to name the award after Griffin despite all his 'protest'!

And Trev, as for all things relating to flatulence well...

One shall stand and one shall fall.

BTT all the way!

See, I call that a wall of laziness and lack of commitment. Hardly OTCA member of the year behaviors. Masquerading as a MISB collector.

I fart in your general direction.

[BruiseLee]

^ I've now got a visual of Trev chasing Trent around with a vacuum cleaner to the theme music of Benny Hill...

[Paulbot]

I don't know, I hear Griffin has a private email server...

[Megatran]

Heh - lets face it mate, we all know it's gonna be taken out by Griffin. It's always taken out by Griffin (and quite rightly so), even if he insists people shouldn't vote for him :p
The old reverse psychology trick hey. :p

Truth be told Griffin Rock in Rescue Bots is named in his honour.

[Megatran]

BTT all the way!
I foresee a mass release of compromising emails in the lead up to the end of voting which may sway the outcome.

[Paulbot]

75 ballots so far. Still plenty of time for those who've not got around to it.

Official Press Release
http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/sare111/ScottiePic_zpss8yijxe2.jpg (http://s1028.photobucket.com/user/sare111/media/ScottiePic_zpss8yijxe2.jpg.html)
Offices of Big Transformer Trev, candidate for Ozformer Member of the Year

My fellow Ozformer members,
while I have been busy with other matters of state it seems the pro/con Trev debate has heated up in my absence. So let me now as your candidate address the issue that concern you, the public, whom I am here to serve.

*The Current Incumbent: Now Griffin is indeed the owner, administrator and general Grand Poobah of Ozformers. There is not a member here that does not acknowledge this or is not grateful to him for providing this wonderful site for us all to enjoy. But ask yourselves, on top of the myriad of time-consuming responsibilities he already has, is it fair to once again heap the duties associated with being Ozformer Member of the Year on his already overburdened shoulders? I think not. Let the poor fellow get on with what he does best and let someone else handle all the public appearances, kissing babies, wining and dining foreign toy dignitaries etc that the winner of the Ozzies is expected to do.

*Why a new representative? Well for a start, if you vote me in you will be getting a celebrity to be the face of Ozformers. Remember, look in the background of any Australian-made, Melbourne-based tv cop show from the late 90’s (Blue Heelers, Halifax FP, Stingers, Good Guys Bad Guys etc) and you will see me milling around in the background as an extra. Star power or what! Frankly if it wasn’t for my well-known hatred of Reality TV I’m sure I’d have been asked to appear on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! by now. And of course most recently I’m known in print, television and social media as the guy who photographed a dead reptile. (http://www.bigangrytrev.com/?p=703)

MY POLICIES
Sensible policies for a happier future
*By the year 2020 no child will be living without Transformer toys
*There will be two Stunticons in every garage
*Full series Box Sets of Rescue Bots to be produced by Madman Entertainment
*Once a year on the solstice all Ozformers will come together on my farm to build a giant straw effigy of Michael Bay, which we will then set alight while we chant and dance naked around it under the moon
Policies from my failed attempt to become PM: (http://www.bigangrytrev.com/?p=227)
*I will make Hasbro and Takara release ALL Transformer related products in Australia.
*No GST on imported goods! This is a SHAMEFUL policy that both sides of parliament are currently trying to enact! They say it’s so that you will buy locally instead of buying your goods from overseas via the internet, but what if…
-A: You live in a rural area where you cannot purchase the items you require at your local store? Most Aussie companies charge ruinous postal fees to send you an item, you often pay more in postage to get something from Melbourne than from the other side of the globe! Last I checked, my little bush town doesn’t have any of the big chains I can go to and get anything I require.
-B: They don’t make and/or sell the item you want in Australia at all? For those with their eye a Carnifex figure, I don’t think you’ll be buying one at your local K-Mart. There are many products that are sold nowhere in this wide brown land of ours, its not a matter of not wanting to shop locally – we can’t!

ENDORSEMENTS
So the choice is clear my Ozformer Brethren (and Sistren of course). Vote #1 Big Transformer Trev this Ozformer awards. Sure I might be not the most obvious candidate, or the most fragrant, or the most sane if it comes to that. But just listen to these uncoerced endorsements from your fellow Ozformer members:




Sensible, Mature, Responsible... These aren't words that anyone can use to describe Trev, and nobody should. That would be lying, and lying is bad for the soul.

Don't lie to yourselves. Vote 1. Vote Trev.
BTT 2016.




The following has been authorised and paid for by the BTT416 Campaign:
In Trev We Trust
Not just a throw away line but a creed we as the followers of the great man, BTT, choose to live our life by. If ever we have doubts in life we ask ourselves 'what would Trev do?' and the correct answer presents itself.
If we do not do the moral and ethical must that is vote BTT for 2016 then I question the entire fibre of life itself!
Yours faithfully
SS77



"Anyone who doesn't vote for BTT is a cheese eating surrender monkey"


And of course our resident artist Mythirax who has made manys a campaign poster!

I look forward to your vote this January

[Jetfire in the sky]

Heil!!

Oh, I mean
Hear hear :p

[Megatran]

Viceroy Nute Gunray (http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/d1/d1596232856e39ad3f43c2bad2fa847bc02e817f0b149481e7 c547e4344cb27d.jpg) commenting on the two man race between griffin & BTT.

[Megatran]

Lieutenant Megatran's log: Star date 2017. Though unconfirmed, there are murmurs of a mutiny plot on the USS Ozformer. It is not known the identity of the mutiny mastermind but he/she goes by the covert name BTT or BBT or BLT. Could it be a Kardashian? I never liked that species tbh. There's been growing unrest with Captain griffin at the helm. Perhaps a feeling he's overstayed his welcome on the Captain's chair & a new style of leadership is the best path forward. Flamboyant, outspoken, extroverted, gift of the gab .... everything the current Captain is not.

What is clear is BBT has some of the senior crew in on the mutiny plot. They go by the covert names JITS, Sinnertwin, SS77, Mythirax. Monitoring the ship's comms has bared no fruit as to their identities. They appear to be using an untraceable subspace encription, embedding their messages in their signatures. And they are recruiting more members.

Councellor Paulbot appears to be mutually independent, neither for the mutiny nor siding with Captain griffin. The thought has crossed my mind if he can be bought to sway the outcome.

The Captain has asked that I continue to monitor the situation as it plays out. I fear the mutiny plot is eminent .... a matter of a few short weeks.

End log.

[i_amtrunks]

Thanks for all the hard work and typing of the toy names, they seem to be getting longer every year!

As always, looking forward to reading the results while disagreeing with the JJJ hottest 100! :D

Boooooo for your sig :mad:

Yeah... please don't have that in your signature. I get enough feedback from people... I don't want to be selfish with this one. Vote for someone who chooses to contribute here, rather than someone who has to.

I kinda liked his sig. no point competing without a worthy opponent to challenge :)

Accept Megatrans support Griff - folk like us gravitate towards becoming leaders of men whether we want to or not, 'tis our honour and our burden ;)

On an alternate note, I'm in holiday with the family in Warrnambool and the nighttime Carnival here kicks ass! :D

It was a fundraiser - use of a private twin-turbine jet using Ozformer funds was completely warranted.

None - I'm not for sale my friends :)

(Cough... maybe, big tobacco, big oil, the mining industry.... cough cough)

[Megatran]

BTT's integrity is beyond reproach. That's why he'll make a decent viceroy to griffin (just like last year's result). ;)

I am glad this thread hasnt deteriorated into a smear campaign like the US Presidential election...

Held out til the last minute as I only got my TR Hot Rod and Triggerhappy this week, which makes it even harder to choose my favorite Deluxe..

Voted and thanks for putting it together!:D

I wish I'd read all the last few pages before voting, I'd have voted for TinyJazz on the grounds of her crushing Sinnertwin with one single post!:D
