    Even if your elders were absent-minded, unresponsive and uptight even back when they weren't old, and haven't aged well since?

    Right. Tell me another.

    You know, I find this endless nonsense staement of "but if there was no geewun, there wouldn't be BW" funny, because once agin, it WAS that era of Transformers that almost got it killed, and BW had to save Transformers' ass.

    If it wasn't for BW we wouldn't even have a HOF for Transformers because Transformers wouldn't exist today.

    As much as I love chopperface, Grimlock (the original chopperface) will still get my vote, although I am really tempted to vote for Dinobot because he is the most develop character we have ever seen. I mean when he sacrificed himself it just rips at your soul. Any of the other guys, you go whatever, oh wait most of them wouldn't have the guts to do it. I better watch it I'm liable talk myself into changing my vote. :D

    ah that answers that I was honestly not sure if he would get in the top five for fans to vote in this year. As Awesome as he is he has to be regarded as a Long shot at best to win the voting. as for which of the 5 I am voting for its undecided but it will be for one of the dino formers.

    Yeah,but that's when the discovery of the Ark is being realized by Megatron,Dinobot,Tarantulas,and Blackarachnia.So that was a transition from what they thought was just Energon,to a devastating alteration of the future.

    Dinobot,let alone,the rest of the Beast Wars characters greatly influenced a whole new number of Fans from a dying Franchise.When you look at the other four who are already at the Hall of Fame,along with the other nominees,they also have great character development as well as being an influence to many generations of Fans.Each of those eight went through various incarnations,whilst there is only one version of Dinobot in existence,no matter of the toys or other forms of media he is on,it is still the same Dinobot from Beast Wars,while the rest went through so many changes,and are usually not connected to each of their other incarnations.

    And why does it have to be strictly G1-focused?I'm proud that at least one Beast character even got to be nominated in this contest at all.

    fan voting got him in the nominations. he beat out all the other characters that were up for this slot. hasbro didnt "toss" him in to "appease" anyone.

    it's hilarious and depressing how many people are offended by this. just because he's there doesnt mean you have to vote for him. vote for who you want.

    When did BW first air? I didn't realize BW saved the TF franchise. I thought BW started at some point in the mid to later 90's and had a shorter life span than G1.

    If you're replying to me; it doesn't. All I said is that when I see the other HOF members and the final nominees, I think that Jazz, Soundwave, Shockwave, and Grimlock, are more influential characters.

    ..and then I took a jab at BW and people got "offended."

    Who's offended? You?

    Once again, people - these five nominees were chosen BY FANS. Nobody was "tossed in" to appease anyone, or to balance things, or to make them "not G1" - Dinobot is here because fans VOTED for him to be here.

    BW fans,

    I'm sorry I said that the Dinobot was tossed in to appease BW fans. I really didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Please accept my sincere apology and to show my deep regret I'll use my vote for your beloved Dinobot.

    Kind Regards,
    Optimus Vader

    Rawwrrr!!!

    Precisely. It's the "Transformers Hall of fame", not the "G1 Transformers Hall of Fame." Hasbro doesn't care whose in the TF HOF, this is purely done for the fans.

    Dinobot got the final spot because he deserved it. Dinobot has had only one media outlet, where as the other nominees have had far more exposure and opportunities for development. I say it speaks volumes that with the limited exposure he had, Dinobot was able to become such a fan favorite character and yes it was we the fans who voted him into the final nominee slot, not Hasbro.

    See apology.

    Then maybe you'll stop complaining about other people's opinions there, chief.

    SOOOOO happy to see my fav Beast Wars character get in the nomination. I think that Soundwave or Grimlock deserves the spot, but Dinobot deserves a spot too.

    I am tempted to vote for Dinobot, even though I think the spot should go to Soundwave or Grimlock. Why? Because he has more development then anyother G1 character the GEEWUNNERS are complaining did'nt make the nominees. When the slag did Hound save the Autobot's while they were in stasis, AND our early anccestors? Never, Dinobot did both at the same time, while fighting Megatron's ENTIRE Predacon team with hardly any trouble at all, except from Megatron himself.

    Good to see Beast wars being represented...though I'm still voting based on an iconic image, someone that not only the fandom knows. Soundwave is the only one on that list that meets the criteria.
