TRANSFORMERS FAN BUILT BOT POLL

Interesting. Hasbro's putting a vote to the fans to pick the next new character. Who will not only be in the IDW books, but also get a toy.

 

Holy shit.

I voted Construction, but I wanted a Train.

Rail Maintenance Equipment FTW!

 

Me, I'm going for a new Decepticon avian beast.

With a flamethrower.

 

I can't find it on the link. (On my phone)

 

That's actually really cool! Really safe against hijacking too, but still interesting enough choices to make the final outcome worthy  

 

Flying Squirrel, because that'd be silly.

And he could be a Killer Rabbit robot.

 

We finally got a fans choice. Awesome.

 

Hasbro's putting out character polls, and Takara's releasing silhouettes?

...dare I say it? "Third parties" really are changing the game.  

Hmm, presumably it won't be an homage character no matter what so I shouldn't try to game myself a Misfire or a Turmoil...well, off to delve into the choices and then report back.  

EDIT: OK, I feel like THESE are weapons we have not (or have barely) seen before:
Mace

Morningstar

Cybertronian Taser

 

Decepticon that turns into a motorcycle and uses flame throwers as a weapon. I like to think of it as "Vehicon Inferno".

 

I vote for truck: Sword, red and black colors - MOTORMASTER!!!)) I want IDW Stunticons in Generation line!

 

Nevermind I found it.

Voted for a Blue and silver Decepticon with a blaster cannon who is crazy, and turns into a spaceship . 

 

If crossbow doesn't win out in the weapons department, I'mma be mondo pissed.  

 

Since this will be an entirely new character, why waste the poll trying to get a character that's remotely close to an existing figure? It would be so much better if we could add another cool, original character to the mix.

 

Well gee I wonder what some of these weapon choices were influenced by.  

Okay I kind of went with a dull alt as a tank. Should of picked motorcycle.  
Oh well Black and red tank that's a grumpy con with a spear/harpoon gun I think I'm okay with that. Not like it'd be picked. Oh man this is so much fun.  

 

New new new  .

 

Wow. This is a serious contest. That is some big coverage for the winner, even if it amounts to a jacked-up focus group.

And since that's the case, I voted for an Orange and White Sneaky Autobot Spaceship with a Sniper-rifle, who I shall call... FOCUSGROUP.

 

NUNCHUCKS ARE A WEAPON OPTION!?

*clickclickclickclickclickclick...*

Mine is an Autobot who is an avian beast, uses nunchucks, is oraneg and white, and is grumpy.
