Jebus.... BW Megatron, Swindle, Wheeljack, Rattrap, or Sky-Byte.... This is a hard pick....

 

BW Megatron. The only one to successfully defeat all the opposition and completely control Cybertron. (Which could arguablly be defined as bringing peace to the planet)

 

Wheeljack!
None others need apply!

 

Sorry Megatron, Minerva and Bulkhead; but Sky-Byte has my vote.

 

Wait, wait, wait... nobody's allowed to vote for Arcee or Wheeljack unless they realize they're voting for the G1 versions!

Since this is the Hall of Fame, I think Wheeljack, BW Megatron, Arcee, Rattrap and Rodimus all deserve a spot. Bulkhead is kind of a wildcard, but he shouldn't get recognition ahead those other characters.

Much as I love Prowl, he's way underrepresented in the fiction and probably shouldn't be in this round. Let IDW do a bit more to restore his profile in the fiction, and maybe next time.

Swindle's a great character, but that's not why we're here... this is the Hall of Fame. Inductees should be characters that are indelibly associated with the brand and its history. Swindle isn't there.

And Minerva? Seriously? Whatever happened to Erector? Fans are such fickle creatures. 

I'm voting for Wheeljack, partly out of my G1 supremacist proclivities, and as a way of denying a vote to Rodimus (I hate that guy).

I have made up my mind, the scammer known as Swindle has my vote!

 

Gonna go with the mad engineer wheeljack 

 

Originally I was rooting for Sky-byte, but now that Swindle is one of the top five I'm changing my vote.

 

Reposted for justice ( though I disagree on the TFA points) Go Wheeljack!

 

Swindle! He'll rob you of your vote!

My God, these are so close right now.

 

Come on. Beast Wars Megatron, Yess#s#####s##sSSsSsSsSs!!!!!

 

Ah geez, I totally forgot about Rodimus Prime for some reason! If anyone should get in, I'd say him. XD But all these other choices are sooo good...

 

I would like to change my vote to Swindle. I just now got the joke.  

 

...Why is BW Megatron in this? Isn't he already in the HoF, along with all the other Megatrons?

Oh, and Rodimus FTW.

 

Tight race this year! wish we could look ahead to the future and see who Archer is going to pick this time.  

 

Voted Swindle.

He has a great character, leading him to be one of the few memorable combiner limbs. His personality didn't just stand out, it drove the plot of a few G1 episodes.

A legacy character - he was a standout in Transformers Animated and voiced by Fred Willard, which only added to the hilarity. He's had strong showings in the IDW comics and has popped up in tons of toylines - INCLUDING BOTCON 2012 (rumored at-show exclusive).

He's a good choice without the subtext of the TFCC credit card fraud, which only adds to his appeal. While I've seen people complain about how Hasbro might respond, I think it should be noted that Swindle is a protest vote, not a dick joke. Protests are about voicing discontent and raising awareness in a highly visible way.

I was one of the people hit. I had the card I used for G2 Ramjet and a club membership hit on Jan 2, as someone used my card in Madrid. The card was canceled and replaced. While the charges were taken away, I still was stuck with a $50 'Security Fee' by my card company.

Shortly after getting a new card, I preordered Over-Run and ordered a new membership. Shortly after this, the credit issues became news and I found out another Allspark member who used his card in early 2011 had his card used the same day - ALSO in Madrid. Realizing that I might be compromised AGAIN, with my new card and the new orders, I need to cancel again and eat ANOTHER $50 fee.

 

Arcee, definitely

 

Wheeljack, obviously.

 

I guess I'll vote for Wheeljack. But just you wait, my campaign for Hot Shot 2013 begins now. *Starts Aeronath sized essay for Hotshot.
