    I actually don't remember Brawl doing anything whatsoever but I do recall Blastoff at least getting some single action in Chaos. Technically there's also Slingshot who's personality was being a jerk.

    Eh, I said maybe cause he got to stand out more than other components by himself in modern stuff. WFC, The first movie, and recently IDW.

    Ah; if you're taking into account other continuities then that's certainly a fair point. I'd say Breakdown deserves credit for the same in that case.

    No love for Mindwipe ? Then i vote for that other winged headmaster: Sideways.
    Most of the guys listed here aren't even underrated, a lot of them are fanfavs: Swerve ? Swindle ? More like overrated.
    I'm gonna have to start some kind of campaign if i want Mindwipe in next years final voting. Maybe he should practise his evil eye: "The nomination, give it to me!"

    Swindle is an unusual character for an army of soldiers: a dealer and financier. He gets my vote.

    Rats.

    Powerglide didn't make the cut. Oh well, guess it's Cosmos for me. Tho BW Inferno is a close second.

    Again, sorry RID Scourge, but you are not underrated. You are awesome and everyone knows that. So I had to choose Swerve. MTMTE Swerve I hope it is! :D

    I think if they want to break it down next year they might have to do a separate poll for Beast Era to everything else. It is clear that people want to vote for Beast Eras more consistently than the many other sections of the franchise. The problem is there isn't many characters in Beast Era to choose from which stacks their votes heavily against the many many popular G1s and guys from other series that don't even get a look in.

    I'd say that Inferno is getting helped by the fact that he is the only Beast Wars character on the list.

    If there was another character and Beast Wars fans had to split their votes they'd probably get beat out by both Cosmos and Swindle.

    Lugnut for sure, shame he never had any other appearances outside the Animated continuity, BW Inferno is similar is some regards, but he doesn't have a punch of kill everything

    You have Swerve on the front page...but Swindle is the one who came in third.

    Thanks for catching that @WishfulThinking

    Let's see how fast we can close a thread by flooding it in accusations of rigging just because Beast characters won.

    I sure hope the mods know the "rule of blue".

    No sweat. Just didn't want you on the wrong end of one of Swindle's "deals". Lol!
