    I was talking about Depth Charge and the Big Convoy repaint.

    Slightly bummed that bw megs didn't win.

    But honestly the hof means jack(pun intended) to me unless they're gonna make new toys of the inductees.

    Hasn't happened for waspy/dinobot, and wheeljack's had 2 molds in the last 2 years =P

    Hasbro said that the fan vote was specifically to allow for second and third-tier characters to make it in. And no matter how you slice it, any Beast Wars character is automatically a tier below a g1 character in terms of impact and legacy.

    ^Which is why, as much as I like Wheeljack, I didn't want to see him win.

    Wow! The character I voted for actually won! This is the first time that has happened. Happy to see Wheeljack inducted into the TF HoF!

    I believe Wheeljack deserved the win, and Prime helped give him that edge

    honestly i wouldn't put it past the fandom to have Beast Wars backlash partially influencing their choices. twice now a Beast wars toy has taken the fan vote and both results have been hotly contested amoung the fandom. I know i have Dave Willis backlash against Megatron winning

    Yes, Jackie is a hall of famer! :D 
    Don't understand why everyone's stating disappointment at BW Megatron loosing. We already have G1 Megatron in there.
    And then there's the Sky-Byte fans, which confuses me even more.
    Maybe it's because I didn't like either of their respective series, but if you'll excuse the pun Wheeljack just seemed like the "Prime" choice.

    BW Megatron is not G1 Megatron though.

    All Wheeljacks are the series universe versions. BW is apart of the G1 story universe. The Megatron that is locked in is the Dcon Megatrons in every series but BW/BM and RID. BW Megatron is a different character, thus was not locked in when the Dcon Megatron was. Like Optimus Primal was not thrown in with Optimus Prime.

    I wish this mess could of been avoided by Hasbro by just locking in Prime, Megatron 1, Megatron 2, Galvatron, and Rodimus Prime for HoF class #1.

    Or just by going back in time to prehistoric Earth & waiting it out to rig the votes in his favor.


    Speaking of which, I think my signature's out dated now hah

    See, I'm as a surprised as a lot of people seem to be. He was the one I had pegged as single *least* likely to take it.

    Megatron should like, assassinate him post coronation & then steal his crown.

    Congrats Wheeljack. Even though I expected him to have been a shoe in next year.

    Oh well. Would have perfered to see BW Megatron since David Kaye was at the Con but oh well.

    Thank God! Wheeljack definitely deserved it more than the nominees he was against this year.
