Transformers Hall Of Fame Nominations for 2016

[UltraMarginal]

It looks like there is another fan nomination for the Hall of Fame this year.

TFW are doing a pre-poll to generate a list for people to then vote on.

I've already put in some names.

I think the second list is weird, best underrated character. it's like asking for the person who should get the Encouragement award.

I've again voted for Ford Kinder and Anne Bryant, the composers of the original theme.


Get in quick, I think the timeline on this is pretty short. (days)

I was trying to find something publicly posted from Hasbro or FunPub on this... but once again it looks like Hasbro (America) privately contacted and invited (American) fansites to participate, again.

This is just the pre-voting nominations round, so there should be a public voting method in the next couple weeks from the top three of each categories. If you are a member on an American fansite that was invited to participate in this pre-voting round, you have until Saturday (American time), which is early Sunday our time.

So like last year, since we weren't invited to participate, post here with your nominations, and we'll see how we go compared the American fansites.


1 - Favourite Transformers Character (fictional robot character)

2 - Favourite Underrated Transformers Character (fictional robot character)

3 - Best Transformers Related Musical Act (real life Humans)


The second category is new this year, and should be interesting... but I fear that the immature vocal minority on certain fansites will push for Erector again.

The other two categories have been done before, and after two Music winners already (Stan Bush and Vince DiCola), there isn't a lot of well known Musical Acts left to choose from.

Previous inductees can be found here (so that you nominate someone new)

The previous Robot inductees are...
2010 - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, BW Dinobot
2011 - Ironhide, Ratchet, Soundwave, Waspinator
2012 - Grimlock, Jazz, Shockwave, Wheeljack
2013 - Ultra Magnus, BW Megatron
2014 - Arcee, Rodimus
2015 - Prowl (individual robot), Predaking (combiner robot)

Vote here, and we can see what a non-American fansite would have submitted as nominations.

Trypticon

Favourite Underrated Transformers Character (Fictional Robot Character)
Jetfire (Skyfire) (can you vote for the same character in 2 catagories?)
BW Inferno
Skywarp
Omega Supreme

Best Transformers Related Musical Act (real life Humans)
No idea

I think they need a "Human who needs to die a slow painful death from any Transformers franchise" category as well... although there are so many nominees to choose from!
But I think the inaugural winner should be either Spike or Chip.

My underrated would be..

Wheelie the wild boy or Outback

3 - my favourites are already inducted (Stan & Vince), so either the original Gen1 music (Kinder/Bryant/Walsh) or Linkin Park for their three Movie songs.

No! Not Chip! He saved the lives of Prowl and Bluestreak, that's gotta count for something.
Haha, I actually really like the human characters (provided they don't dominate the story a la bayformers), and the G1 cartoon versions are probably the least annoying. I mean, they're just as goofy as the robots and tend screw up at the same rate.
