It'd be one thing if the vote was for G1 characters from 1984 up to 1990, but to limit it to only '84 guys? That's straight up baloney, yeah I said it, BALONEY!!! So be it, my vote goes to everyone's favourite funny sad alcoholic; Trailbreaker. For the toy it's gotta be Impactor because I hope if enough people vote for the likes of him, CD Hot Shot and Cromar (why no Zetar?) Hasbro will be all "the nerds have spoken, they love the niche stuff, it's time to revisit Rotorforce, Euro G1.5 and put out a Commander Class Torca".
No one is asking for no G1 love ever. That's ridiculous. Those of us who grew up with or grew to love other parts of the franchise would really like to get more than table scraps for rep from those entries. The ones who actually do want other people's interests shat on are the people who go to every Studio Series related article to tell everyone, for the record, how terrible the movies are and how much they hate the designs.
Hauler - Need to promote this green costructor autobot. WFC-GS04 Powerdasher Cromar - Stupidly support mold not a popular character. I wanted to find Zetar, but he was not on the list....
I basically read this as :"listen you millennials, we're sick of you all voting for Beast Wars characters, and we really don't want to do a Beast Wars line. You're going to vote for a G1 characters like the Gen Xers and you're going to like it" in a Vince McMahon voice. Also Omtimus Prime, really how did that get past them? Oh and I voted for Cliffjumper and Springer.
I Picked Brawn. I hope to see more of him in the Bumblebee sequel. For Seige Figures I chose Leader Class Optimus because of the Cybertron(2005) homage.
Siege toy that should be in the Hall of the Fame? Well...none of the above? There's nothing wrong with Siege, but none of it reinvents the wheel and does anything special. But it says "Favorite" so I picked Six Gun. I also vote for Skywarp but only because I thought he was already in the HOF.
Trailbreaker and Jetfire! Now give me the chance to vote for Wheeljack, Brawn and Bumblebee and we'll have the Ultimate Doom Cybertron hit squad!
I voted Huffer for S and Gs. Siege Hot Shot was a really cool reuse of Hound, plus it’s great to see more non G1 stuff, so he was my vote.
You don’t like how Hasbro has taken a nearly 40 year old brand, that’s rich with various characters with different designs, universes, continuities and settings, and just constantly rehashes the first few years while practically ignoring everything else? Well then pal, you need to find a new hobby. It amazes me how “you need to find a new hobby” is the go to talking point. I’m sorry that some of us would like to see more non-G1 content, but hey ho.
I voted for Ironhide, because it took how many years for him to get a decent figure intended to be him before Siege happened?
I voted for G1 Devastator and Seige Shockwave. Devastator is more iconic than the other choices and Shockwave is a brand new take on that character.
Omtimus Prime sounds like a weird fanfictiony name.... I love it and I need to make him, lol. What colors should he be?
