Transformers 2019 Hall of Fame vote

[griffin]

As part of their 35th Anniversary of Transformers (https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606/3218344601569045/?type=3&theater), Hasbro have posted up a fan-vote to find out who to induct into the Hall of Fame for 2019 (they didn't have one earlier this year).

There are two categories, which can be voted here at Survey Monkey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WVP38QW?utm_campaign=Survey&utm_medium=bitly&utm_source=TF+FB&fbclid=IwAR1ywoqQtTXlHd3-Aiw7YbnGXKQZtVjRKsfUQoAo8BY2GZaV_YU9ppidHo8)... before December 7th (America time).
One category covers 1984 while the other category covers 2019 (for 35 years of Transformers).

The winners will then be announced later in the month.

One of the 2019 figures already in the Hall of Fame? Seems premature to me!

As noted by others, having Hauler on the list of season one characters is asking for trouble from fans. If he made it, the Hall would be more of a joke.

Somehow, I don't see too many people voting Hauler. I just think they'd rig the vote anyway, like they did with Unicron sales #conspiracy

Just wait for WFC ER Hauler! :p

The results were released today by Hasbro on their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606/3278255995577905/?type=1&theater)... with surprising little fanfare because it wasn't even announced at an official event somewhere.

The winners were...
1984 cartoon character - Skywarp
2019 toy character - Omega Surpreme

(I'm not surprised about Omega Supreme winning... but Skywarp is a surprise to me)

I voted for Jetfire for both categories, as it took 35 years for Hasbro to finally produce a toy version of the cartoon/comic Skyfire, without using it as an opportunity to annoy Harmony Gold (by producing something that replicated or homaged the original Jetfire toy - a design that Hasbro doesn't own, but they do own the cartoon/comic Skyfire design, and yet took 35 years to make a toy of it... thanks Hasbro, for finally putting the fans before corporate motives).

Skywarp, huh? That's sort of surprising, he's kind of a non-entity characterisation-wise IMO. I voted for Ravage myself, he's pretty iconic and his Beast Wars appearance really helped make it feel like part of the same world.

Agree re. Jet/Skyfire - Omega Supreme looks cool and all, but Skyfire kind of captured a lot of what made the Siege line great, plus heralds a new size class.

Oh well.

I voted for Jetfire for both categories

Same. I think both G1 and Siege Jetfire are fantastic toys for their eras. Siege made it to the top of my best TFs of 2019 list.
