The winners/inductees for 2018 were announced at yesterday's Hasbro panel at SDCC...

HALL OF FAME
Favourite Character - BLACKARACHNIA
Toy of the Year - ROADTRAP AND BATTLESLASH
Hall of Fame inductee 2018 - JOHN BARBER

(I actually thought Unicron would win the character category... while the toy of the year was probably close between Optimus and the Duocon pair. It would have been Predaking if this was done at the end of the year and included all of the 2018 toys. Hasbro should do the fan-vote in February for the previous years toys, to give people time to get the last few of the year, and then maybe sit on the results until SDCC.)
