    Happy about Cosmos and Weird Al. The Munky can stuff it.

    Jablonsky was robbed, man. Despite Al's contribution being rather iconic, it's still only one song (him voicing TFA Wreck-Gar doesn't count for this category), while Jablonsky's scores are some of the best things to come out of the film franchise, if not the best.

    But congrats to the Boss Monkey, and woo for Cosmos!

    About time Optimus Primal went into his rightful place.

    Congrats to the Cosmos and Weird Al fans too.

    So I detect a trend here Dinobot wins, then Waspinator, then (BW) Megatron, and now Primal. Seems Beast Wars characters get brought up they win.


    Also BRASS MONKEY THAT FUNKY MONKEY!

    Wouldn't be a HOF thread without one of these comments.

    Except last year Primal didn't win.

    He didn't win 2014, either. And BW Megatron also lost in 2012 before getting in in 2013.

    Yes! Primal won! Fully deserved!

    Cosmos is okay. I like him! Hope Tarantulas gets in soon enough.

    Also congrats to Al! Now...can we get Kinder and Bryant in already?

    Well seeing as this is the last Botcon, and the Hall of Fame is always a Botcon thing I don't think there will be anymore inductees after this. Glad Primal made it in though, the boss monkey deserves it.

    The chances are lower now that we don't know if there WILL be another con. I believe it was Botcon 2011 that Weird Al had a Panel with David Kaye cuz of Animated so it's not as if he doesn't go to cons. The chances of Weird Al being at a convention was always higher than Frank Welker.

    Small spelling correction. When including his last name, "Weird Al" Yankovic puts quotes around what's essentially his nickname.

    Weird Al is fine
    Al Yankovic is fine
    "Weird Al" Yankovic needs the quotes.

    Primal winning was expected.

    Sad Tarantulas didn't win, but hurray for Cosmos?

    Ehh, don't care for the music section but yay Weird Al.

    I'm amused at the Cosmos win after being stuck in the Beast Sandwich and then coming out on top.

    Primal: Always glad to see a BW character get in, especially when it's an Optimus (even if not Prime) who changed and grew as a character.

    Cosmos: I actually find him overrated. I find his IDW portrayal (which I think is where his recent popularity boost came from) to be really boring.

    Weird Al: I like him but he really doesn't deserve to be in the HOF. He got in due to his popularity in general, not because of his contribution to TF.
