G1 characters get a free pass into the HOF just because they're G1. Obviously some Geewunners higher up have gotten jack of the BW characters dominating the fan voting and have decided to take matters into their own hands. I demand transparency! Or (and I point the finger directly at Hasbro here) they interfered with the voting to plug a characters in the current TF franchise: Prime, so as to boost appeal. I wouldn't put it past Hasbro to do this. If they'll paint a Wooly Mammoth blue, they'll do anything! What a s#!t year for BW fans at BotCon this year. The TVC Presents TransWarp: Csirac - Issue #1 |

Just be happy you got characters in the first 2 years. That on it's own is pretty noteworthy...or would be if it wasn't rigged. |

(likely over 100, it spans nearly all US TF lines) News Credits: 7 | I can see Wheeljack drawing most of the G1 & non-Beast vote. Think about it. There aren't too many male fans who'd choose Arcee over a Mad Scientist & a lot of the fanbase is biased against the 'Bot who got Optimus killed (deservedly or not). That leaves Wheeljack to draw the votes from the average G1er. But he didn't get all the G1 votes -- since, in addition to 2 G1 characters, Sky-byte syphoned off some G1 votes as well -- which is assumed to be required to dethrown a Beast Front Runner. I can see that there could've been some level of interference, but I can also see that Wheeljack could've just barely edged out Megatron (perhaps both, that it was so close, Hasbro just picked one). Hopefully, either way, Megs gets auto-inducted next year. ![]() TransFormers Adventures on Planet Arus | Updated 12/15/12 Prime Intermission II My thought process was slagged, so I'll be editing my posts a lot.
