    "Get out while you still have money :("

    "great community of people, glad to be a part of it :D"

    "i don't really participate much in the fandom, it's pretty intimidating :( i mostly read sightings and reviews here and on tfw2005, there are so many people that get so riled up over little things that aren't the same as something previous!"

    "I've been a fan since I was 4, joined OCTA a few months ago. it's my first signed up forum and I'm loving it. great community. from observation I think I've seen the global transformers community grow much more mature over the last five years."

    "Joining OZFormers (OTCA) has been a Massively Eye-Opening and learning experience for me this year and I've thoroughly enjoyed interacting with everyone."

    "There is too much ridiculousness surrounding Drift."

    "The fans are being listened to by Hasbro with the Generations figures!"

    "We laughed, we cried, we kissed our money goodbye."

    "You're all a great bunch of people!"

    Big thanks to Paulbot for putting this together, glad to see some of my answers made first place on a few of them. And my comments, I can't even remember what I wrote for them lol.

    Wow. I'm shocked. I didn't realise that nonsense was even a creativ...



    LUGNUT: Strika - this is for you, babe! But first, a moment to reflect on all the people we've lost this year. Flash Lio Convoy; Orcanoch; Universe Skydive; Icebird the polurkey. Sadly they couldn't be with us today, but I'm sure they're looking down from the Allspark, seeing my awesome trophy and knowing that their excruciatingly painful deaths were all worth it. Also, I'd like to thank Paulbot and the Ozformers Academy - without you, Transformers like me would never get the recognition we so richly deserve. And most of all, I want to say that I love working in our business - where else could find great friends like the ones I have celebrating with me tonight. I just feel so blessed that I'm surrounded by all the nicest people in the world. All hail Megatron!

    Ah, Nutimus Prime...

    Congrats to Sky Shadow and Griffin but also a huge thanks to Paulbot for organising this survey, there is some rather interesting bits of information within it and I imagine that a quite a bit of time and effort went into it's creation.

    Now to wait and see who the lucky winner of the competition will be?
