2015 Hall of Fame pre-voting has begun...

[Paulbot]

So 3 will be Stan Bush right? It should be Linkin Park for somehow providing three different songs for the first three live action films that all sound the same.

With only one person voting, I guess this is why Hasbro only invites the American fansites to participate... or people in general have just lost interest in the whole concept now that all the really iconic characters are already inducted.

My votes would be...

1 - Hound... he was a favourite of mine on the cartoon, and with a Movie character last year, he would be a good choice for a "30 year" character for the HOF.
2 - Gen1 Bruticus, as it was in the comics and cartoons a lot when I got into Transformers, and Brawl was my favourite combiner toy as a kid.
3 - Vince DiCola... just because I'm an aging fanboy who would like to see him join Stan Bush. (I get the feeling that he might be a guest this year, just in case he wins the vote.)

You're looking at this the wrong way. More people would vote here IF we were asked to particpate. Since whatever we say here has no impact on the outcome there's zero incentive to play except for fun.

My additional votes (on top of Linkin Park) Sideswipe and Rail Racer

[Bladestorm]

1) Jetfire or Thundercracker (all my other faves are already in)
2) Superion (Autobot) / Devastator (Decepticon)
3) Whoever wrote the Transformers Prime music unless the G1 theme writers haven't been inducted... in that case it would be whoever composed the G1 theme.

Brian Tyler did the Prime music. The intro/end credit music is one of my favourites.

[Hursticon]

1. Optimus Primal
2. Tripledacus/Tripredacus
3. Vince DiCola

yea, if the original theme artists and vince DiCola were already in there he would be sharing my vote with Steve jablonsky.

A little last-minute, but the Hall of Fame final voting looks to have started, through one of the official Transformers apps, allowing fans around the world to vote on the three categories...
Favourite character - Galvatron, Optimus Primal, Prowl
Favourite combiner - Bruticus, Devastator, Predaking
Favourite musician - Kinder/Bryant (Gen1 theme), Dicola (1986 Movie), Weird Al Yankovic (1986 Movie)

If you have the App, vote now, as it is probably only open for a week or two.


It looks like Galvatron has hit the shortlist after Nimoy died the month before the first round of voting occurred.
And the character images Hasbro have used for most of the six robots are funny, as four of them are either unrelated (TFPrime Predaking, TFCyb Optimus Prime), or from an odd series or version (TFEnergon Galvatron, FOC Bruticus).

As the other sites seem to be nominating a preferred 3, I'll do that here too.


character: Hound, Mirage, Thundercracker

Combiner: Bruticus, Devastator, Superion

Human: Ford Kinder and Anne Bryant (composers of the original Transformers Theme), Robert J. Walsh (composer of the G1 score music). Without these 3 people transformers wouldn't be what it is today. (Stan Bush was awarded last year)
