Hmm, seems you're right. I could have sworn it was December. Oh well, my bad then.

Regardless, @CZ Hazard's explanation makes sense. I didn't realise there was a separate nominations thread either. I remember seeing that in the past now, but it's only a once-a-year thing, so... I didn't even really think about that.

 

How Trans Art doesn’t win best new company/ most improved is beyond me I thought they were done for with some of their earlier releases, but if you look at Megatron and Rat trap they’re like a completely different company.

 

They're still just improved, oversized KOs. At least personally, I'd kick them out of the running simply for not being wholly original figures.

 

They’re definitely not KO’s. Megatron’s transformation is similar to the original toy because well it’s a really simple transformation. But ray trap’s transformation is so far removed from the original toy. The theres sculpt and paint.

 

Glad to see Stack winning and winning handsomely. It is truly a knock out release, XTB really did Magnus Justice. Truly an incredible figure.

It is my #1 3P toy of the year followed by FT’s Chomp, which is amazing.

Funny that I don’t know 4 of the contenders in this list. I’d google them but I have zero interest.

 

Outrider got my vote. Just wish they gave us a toy head like they did with Hitch.

 

Always a super fun list every year. Thanks so much for compiling! Some of these bots make me want to jump back into the MP game again...

 

Last stretch for votes, only 200 people voted out of thousands people registered. What a difference a front page mention could probably make.

 

I don't think TA is just making improved KO OS figures, but the reason maybe not all of us into BW figures. For example, myself I don't care too much for TA's products because I never watched BW cartoons.
