    Galvy - awesome, glad he's in. Hopefully the completely batshit insane one from G1 S3.

    Barricade - hopefully the original head design (because fuck the TF5 redesign, the dude is EVIL so why make him so generic looking) but an evil cop car is just a completely fun idea that needed more recognition

    Trypticon - this reeks of Hasbro influence to push the $150 toy.

    Nope! The characters are added too now.

    I feel like even if the vote hadn't been public so anyone could just tally them up, this result still wouldn't have been much of a surprise. Though potentially Galvatron and Cyclonus could have split the G1 vote, I suspect it was always going to be a case of people will rather vote for Galvatron than his lackey.

    The Galvatron prototypes are cool. Galvatron's a good choice.

    Barricade I like but he's still a nobody character with little personality.

    Trypticon... with all the QC issues and lack of paint (mainly looking at you, TakaraTomy), I really wish Topspin/Twin Twist had won (because Triggerhappy is a 2016 figure so he still shouldn't count no matter how good he is). Still, hopefully this encourages them to make more citybots going forward.

    They could retool the inner robot to idw arcee too, since idw arcee is also a galvatron before his gender reassigment by jhiaxus.

    Nice, I voted for Barricade. I really liked him in the 07 movie, as a kid seeing the evil cop car interrogate Shia was one of my favorite scenes :D

    He's the only Con that survives through the events in all 5 movies(still do, in fact, due to his amazing ability of getting written off the plot, forgotten)so that's an achievement. Megs managed to get himself killed twice, so he doesn't count :p

    About time any version of Galvatron made it to the Hall of Fame. Voted for him.

    Voted for Barricade too.

    I'd rather see Triggerhappy/Topspin as HoT toy, but I don't care that much about this category anyway.

    By now it's his legitimate superpower.

    And him being a scout, thus Bumblebee's counterpart in the team... That's double hilarious for both of them having a kind of plot armor.

    There is one holly grail left for G1 fans to obtain. I never knew they would've of designed a Transformer out of wood.

    Takara team sure did have fun in the 80's. I like to see what the Hasbro group were doing during that same time period in their own home base....

    Most of voters aren't Movie fans, I read facebook and noticed, that they were just mocking at the Movies. As expected. The fandom is really sick.

    Heh, I wonder if Hasbro would explore the Diaclone or Microman series as potential figures for future lines. Like Micro Robot V who was shown on the Powerpoint Pressentation.

    Galvatron was expected. Barricade, I love the guy so no complaints. Cool that 2017 is solidifying him as a major Decepticon in the franchise.

    I'll give the TF5 redesign this: years ago I got the Recon Barricade vs Cliffjumper legends pack. Now Barricade has that color scheme, but I have movie accurate colors and the better robot mode design. Means I don't have to buy another Barricade! :lol

    How can a toy of the year have hips that break right out of the box?

    I mean it looks great but durability should be part of the requirements for a TOtY.
