It looks like the Seibertron Poll has moved onto the next stage.
Fudge Yeah!!!

Despite badges, banners, and a fun tongue in cheek video from Hasbro, Erector did not look like it was ever seriously taken as a contender by Hasbro. The character got quite a loud boo on announcement.
Hell yeah! - I'm glad to hear that there was a boo but do you think it was a boo for the character or for his nomination?
I'm just happy to see such a brilliantly written and acted character make it into the Hall of Fame as he was the most deserving of this year's nominees, but also some much deserved further recognition for Beast Wars!
(So far the only decent BW related thing to come out of BOTCON 2011)
This is SO great, that's 2 for 2 Gee-Wunners : Waspinator is king of the Fleshies once again!

The nomination. And not a boo, quite a few loud boos. I joined in. For the nomination I'm sure.
Hoping they put the clip up Hasbro made online for you all to watch. It was funny and a fair bit of work had gone into it.

Aww, why were you booing or pleased at the booing? This is all just fun

My faith in Hasbro was restored when Aaron Archer said 'We take this (HOF) seriously, and hope you do as well. We had a lot of fun doing this (the Erector clip), but don't want to do this again.
With all the big-wigs and special guests at these things, it doesn't surprise me that people at Hasbro wouldn't want them to see the fandom as immature, childish or irresponsible with the rare formal offerings we get from Hasbro. The fun has now been had getting a 'joke' name into the voting process, but I would hate to see a more dedicated movement next year for some other obscure joke-named character.
It was interesting to hear the applause for each nominee's clip differ. Waspinator had the most applause, while Ironhide had the least (Soundwave and Ratchet were in the middle, while Erector actually got booed - twice.
