    Not that I care about this awards thing, I am surprised they chose that.

    So this transformers toy that doesn\'t even do what the name suggests, some how bested everything from Prime wars this year, everything from studio series, even the mediocre Cyberverse stuff and other Bumblebee movie toys.

    Who the fuck is in charge of deciding this crap?

    Someone who thinks toys are for kids, not for adult message board nerds?

    The irony of your post is simply delicious:

    Estimates for the total amount Hollywood spends on Oscar campaigns range from $100m right up to $500m in a single year.

    How much does it cost to win an Oscar?

    Sorry, last post: every time I hear another fan complain about YELLOW or BEES, I think of this:

    Watch Robot Chicken - "Snerkel, Snerkel " on Adult Swim

    BB is the Will Wheaton of TFs. The only thing that can make you forget the rage? Snerkel Snerkel. :sly:

    Lol if you go add your name to this trade group's mailing list just because you don't want a transformer to lose a meaningless internet popularity contest.

    Or you can go vote for any of the actual decent toys in the running. I voted for the Jurassic Park choice because I don't want that thing considered the "best" of the TF line by virtue of winning this award. No kid deserves to get this for Christmas after asking for an actual transforming Bumblebee just because his parents came upon this award on Google. A parent is likely to see that DJ `Bee won and make a purchase based on that.

    Let's prevent that, shall we? Consider it a public service.

    ...uhh...kids are still gonna get cool toys regardless of whatever wins this award. Considering I've only heard this thing for just a few years and on this board, I question the reach of such an accomplishment upon the consumer.

    That being said...I thought we stopped pulling our hair out about popularity contests after we graduated high school?

    I can't imagine a parent using this as research over whatever Amazon reviewers say.

    Is it bluetooth? If you can play any music through an app on your phone or tablet then that'd be cool

    True, nonetheless, doesn't change the fact that crap beat some pretty decent stuff
