    That’s cool, kinda expected Galvatron to get in and I wouldn’t have been mad about it. But seeing one of my favorite characters finally in there is nice.

    Yeah it’s 4 now. What a disgrace, they should make room for more variety instead of giving all these spots to BW-charact… *RING RING* oh wait, the phone rings… hey there Prime! What’s that? You and the other 16 G1 characters in the Transformers Hall of Fame are running low on Energon? I’m terribly sorry sir; we’ll fix that right away.



    Where was I? Oh yeah right, get those 4 beasts out of there, we don’t have enough variety! And take those pesky humans with you while you’re at it!

    Galvatron.
    Which would be appropriate if only in Mr Nimoy's memory. But I suppose sooner or later Galvatron will get there anyway.

    Never cared about BW, so I have no negative or positive opinion about Primal being there.

    Happy to see Cosmos winning.


    And I give no **** about musical scores anyway unless they're Stan Bush or Instruments of Destruction.

    I was really hoping Galvatron would make it, being his 30th birthday and all. Plus there would be an off chance they could make mention of my favorite TF of all time Galvatron II in his HoF bio. I'm super excited about Weird Al though, as this might be the only hall of fame Al has a chance at getting into.

    I'm happy about Cosmos!

    I personally voted for Galvatron (Hey, his name is part of my name), but I love Beast Wars, too, so Optimus Primal is more than a worthy winner! In fact, I think Primal should have been in the hall years ago. Let's hope Galvatron and Cyclonus as well as more Beast Wars characters make it in the near future.

    I voted for Jablonsky, but I love Weird Al, too, so congrats to him!

    By a member of the news staff none the less.

    I digress, All 3 deserve to get in. Cosmos just because he is underused. I'm not even commenting on recent IDW comics cause I've not read one since 2004. All the comic stores in the area went belly up and I'm not traveling an hour or two just for a few comics every month.

    Optimus Primal deserves the win, (not including his Beast Machine days)

    Weird Al had a good song too on the 86 soundtrack, however I voted Lion just because they sung the '86 Transformers movie theme song.

    The future of new inductees, is unknown at this time since the Botcon we know is no more. However Fun Publications still owns the name Botcon, who's to say now without Hasbros official involvement that they can't open it up to 3rd party manufacturers.

    Also, the HOF has been going for more than four years, so it's not like it's only BW characters getting in fan votes.

    Plus, it is a fan-voted poll, so I don't see how it's somehow not justified. BW is just that popular I guess, or at least its characters.

    Brass munkky, that funky munkky! Congrats to the Boss Munkky, David, Weird Al, and Cosmos. Cosmos wasn't my first choice but I'm down with it.

    He did Botcon 2009 when Animated was ending, it's not impossible for him to make an appearance.

    And it wouldn't be a message board without differing opinions. Congrats to the winners, but there's nothin wrong in wanting Galvatron to win.
