Still been voting for Grimlock. Hopefully this will help to offset the Erector votes. Anyone know when the voting ends?

It ends this Friday, the 22nd.

The idea of counter-voting sucks, and IMO has already killed the whole HOF voting process. Once you have to employ strategy, it's not the fans' choice anymore, it's from a different motive, one that's either destructive, or trying to counter the destruction. What if I wanted to vote for Jazz? That choice would only serve to empower the wrong choice, weakening the better of two evils choice. That suggests the system is damned.

And on top of that, we won't know the results for over a month. Ugh.

Been voting for Grimlock, at least he's who I was probably going to go for anyway. Since my job has me going around to different departments equipped with various computers, I've been able to get several votes in per day as well. No idea how much it'll help.

So next year I guess I'll just do my damnedest to get Kicker in, since Hasbro clearly has no idea what's going on here.

Kicker's bio will likely include elements of Spike Witwicky and Sari.

Been trying to put Grimlock over. But, I agree with JT in the that fact we are supporting Grimlock as much to keep Erector out is a problem.

That sucks, now it says I've voted today - but I haven't voted on this IP address or computer since maybe Saturday, I voted from my new IP address and my laptop yesterday.

Worked just fine for me on the five or so computers I used between home and work.

As an aside, am I the only one slightly bothered by the fact that the Dreamwave art Hasbro is using on the voting page lacks the faction symbols? I know that this is just stock art that symbols are supposed to be 'shooped onto after the fact, but they could have tried a *little* harder.

I think Waspy's art is new, anyway.

EDIT: Grimlock's art has a symbol on it. I just think Shockwave and Jazz are missing them because they didn't have them on there in the first place. Where would you even put Jazz's?
