    Seriously? Predaking? He's the worst Scramble City combiner. He almost always loses and badly.

    Glad to see Frank Welker and Vince Dicola in there. Both are very deserving. I'm glad at least someone I voted for got in.

    Don't really give a damn about Prowl getting in.

    To be fair, he's not a Scramble City combiner. The Scramble City guys are the ones with interchangeable limbs, like Defensor, Bruticus, Superion, and Computron. Predaking, like Devastator (who should have won) is not compatible with them.

    Well deserved.

    Frank Welker was one of the great voices of my childhood in many respects.

    Peppered - through roles large and small - throughout Scooby Doo, Bionic Six, GoBots, G.I.joe, Garfield, Inspector Gadget, Jetsons, Muppet Babies, Ghostbusters, Smurfs, Transformers, and countless, countless other roles.

    And Vince DiCola... that music will be iconic to me forever and a day lol.

    Oh, right. I forgot, his toy was different from the others. I've never owned one, so it was easy for me to forget that. Still, I think Devastator in the G1 cartoon is the only combiner, of any type, who I'd consider less effective than Predaking.

    Whaaaat? The BW character didn't get it? :lol 

    Predaking over Devastator is a surprise but a welcome one, and glad Frank Welker is in the HOF now. Happy Prowl got the vote, long time coming.

    Welker deserved the win. Let us not forget his nickname. The god of voice acting. Indeed he's been in quite a few major movies, though in a way you might not recognize. A great many stock animal sound effects were in fact done by Frank.

    Prowl might not have been my first choice, but in some ways he was the autobot equivelent of Soundwave. No, not the cassetes, but having the face that would inspire the faction symbol.

    Predaking was my vote, but honestly I thought Devastator had it sewn up. And Predaking was finally able to win something. Course you must remember he didn't get many fights in season 3 that weren't against Sky-Lynx. For those of you who wonder why he gets so much love from some of us and such a good reputation as a badass, well...
    1-Bigger components. Everybody else was four basics and a deluxe. He was five deluxes.
    2-His toy commercial presented the Predacons as the Decepticons answer to the Dinobots. And we mean season 1 and 2 nearly unstopable dinobots. Before combining.
    3- Look at him. The color scheme, the wings, the five beast heads, the cannons, the spiked knuckles... Most combiners look mismatched. He looks like the perfect fusion of beastly might.
    4-No. Known. Weaknesses. He's like a bigger Whirl. Only not.

    Vince Dicola also deserved the win. He really did a unique and memorable soundtrack for the movie.

    Well, it's about damn time Frank Welker got in to the HOF. Congrats!

    Also very happy that my other choices (Prowl and Predaking) won, as well.

    Now, if I could only get Smokey in there I'd be a very happy camper, indeed. :D

    Congrats Frank Welker and Vince DiCola even though I didn't expect Predaking and Prowl to win but congrats to all of them.

    I would have waited an eternity for this.

    Congrats, Frank, Vince and Prowl (my favorite Autobot along with Optimus).

    Never was a fan of Predaking, but congrats to him, too.

    Honestly, it's about damn time.
    I really think Victor Caroli should be inducted as well. Besides being the narrator in the G1 cartoon and movie, he was the voice of the brand through all those toy commercials, G1 through early Beast Wars.

    Well Deserved for Frank. Long overdue. kept hoping they would set up some kind of remote camera at Frank's home and he could accept that way but I am glad its been handled.

    Predaking? undoubtedly his higher media presence via Transformers prime and beast hunters helped him alot. Devastator has not been used in a cartoon since energon and even then he was not used that well. To be fair we did get a few Constructicons in Animated but no Devy.

    Vince totally deserves it.

    Prowl? okay he deserves it but like others i figured the beast wars fans would stuff the ballot box for Primal.

    Prowl obviously manipulated the outcome to end up at the top position, as that would give him the authority to take care of business more effectively because he KNOWS WHAT'S BEST SO SCREW YOU AND LET HIM DO HIS JOB!!!1!
