2022 Australian Transformers Fans Awards

[Paulbot]

Please vote if you can, as last year we had 268 fans who voted, and I'd like to see that record broken in this 15th anniversary year of the Australian fan-vote awards.

I didn't realise it was 15. I had tried posting the links to previous ones in the first post, but I kept getting a posting error.

My Facebook settings are locked down but the shout out is fine, thanks.

I do try to keep this to things released in Australia (or popular imports). I had forget there were new BotBots (I don't think any came here) and RED completely slipped my mind. In previous year's I've listed Cyberverse/RescueBots etc and barely anyone has answered those questions, and I don't think there was much new this year anyway? I put a question in asking about interest in EarthSpark toys to help gauge what I'll do with those next year - will likely include the deluxe and warrior class bots.

I would have included the Vintage Beast Wars but I did forget about them, might do a wrap up of those in the 2023 vote once a few more have made it out. Same with RED and maybe those Super7 figures too.

Another year has come to an end so it's that time again.

Aaand Voted!

Missing the Botbots Cartoon in media, which I thought was excellent. Getting pretty nervous that season 2 hasn't been announced yet

The 3rd party question can be taken two ways, there's the way I assumed you meant it along the lines of Fanstoys, Newage, etc... however then there's official 3rd party products like you mentioned, Super7, threezero and Flame Toys, etc. Not sure a clean easy way to do that since there is so many different things available to the fandom.

Similarly a merchandise section would also be cool, things like the Deck-Building game, Helmets, Statues, Numskull, LEGO, the list goes on.... which also makes it difficult.

Finally, you've got favourites for individual classes/lines and of all time, however no favourite overall of the year.

All that said, no complaints at all - a lot of work goes into it and I enjoy participating. Great work as always!

Thanks

I clearly have a blind spot for BotBots!

Thanks for the other comments, some interesting suggestions there that I'll keep in mind for next year

Maybe for next time, a way to include all the minor lines without spending too much time for a small number of potential responses, perhaps something like this...

Q - Which of the rest of the smaller Transformers toylines during 2022 did you like the most?

- Botbots
- R.E.D.
- Vintage Beast Wars
- Authentics
- Rescue Bots (and plain packs)
- Premium Finish


That way you can keep annoying fans like me quiet, from bugging you about leaving something out.

[Paulbot]

Good idea. Will also be a way to poll the various gimmick lines for Earthspark and Rise of the Beasts.

Votes are steadily coming in with two more weeks to go until I close off the form to tally the results.

Got a spare few minutes give it a look.

[Paulbot]

Bump as entries have slown down. 1 week to go to have your vote

[Paulbot]

25 more ballots before Wednesday night would be good, just saying
