Yeah, Grimlock is probably going to carry it. As Scourge said, he carried the bigger stick over at TFW so maybe we should all just back Grimlock. It is, as Shockwave would say, the logical conclusion.

Re: We've got Hall of Fame voting going on up there
Keep in mind, voting is DAILY for the next 8 days, that's a lot of time to spam their vote system from the same crew who pushed Erector onto this list, so it seems wise to make a conscious effort to vote every day if you give a crap about this. I did just check, at least it's running a basic test to know if I've already voted once today.
If Erector does take the spot, I think Hasbro will have to shutter HOF, or discount the votes and sway it another way.
The sad part is, all 4 of the other choices are perfectly adequate, so the fact that this is being brought down to this level is pretty lame.

See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?
Re: We've got Hall of Fame voting going on up there
I would actually dispute Waspinator's legitimacy. The character was not terribly important. And, nobody outside of the fandom knows/cares about Waspinator. That said, better a Transfurry than Erector.
It is possible to vote more than once a day if you have a computer at home and at work, or work in a place that has many computers. Of course, the TFW guys likely know this as well.
That said, the more I think about this, the less suprised I am. Transfans have a not wholly undeserved reputation for being self-indulgent children. And, Hasbro opened up something official to the fans. Has that ever gone well for the franchise?

Nobody outside of the fandom knows/cares who Bob Budiansky is either, doesn't mean he's not worthy of being in the HOF.Dominic wrote:I would actually dispute Waspinator's legitimacy. The character was not terribly important. And, nobody outside of the fandom knows/cares about Waspinator.
Waspinator may not be "terribly important" in the larger scale of the TF mythos and canon, but he was important in making BW accessible to different audiences, and he's recognizable, and consistent.
Or an onion proxy server system or a myriad of other ways to spam these sorts of things. That's the problem with online voting in general.It is possible to vote more than once a day if you have a computer at home and at work, or work in a place that has many computers.

Sadly does seem to be true, but I can hope for better.That said, the more I think about this, the less suprised I am. Transfans have a not wholly undeserved reputation for being self-indulgent children. And, Hasbro opened up something official to the fans. Has that ever gone well for the franchise?
Gay for Grimlock?Dom

This. Seriously. If he's in, I think I might have to drop out too (except for here).BWprowl wrote:Y'know, between Erector making the vote-off for the HoF, not being able to find anything around here for months, and an otherwise-mostly-unrelated bout of serious depression, I may just quit the fucking fandom if Erector actually gets voted in. I'm serious, I don't want to be associated with a group of people that, in only the second year of the damn thing's existence, induct a walking penis joke into the Hall of Fucking Fame purely for a cheap laugh. Think about it, you won't be able to talk about Transformers on any other toy/comic/whatever forum without some douchebag bringing this up and you having to wearily insist that you didn't vote for the stupid thing.
Re: We've got Hall of Fame voting going on up there
Joking aside, we really need to keep Erector out.

I hope everyone's favorite bot made it to the final five. Glad to see Erector made it (even though you guys tossed away a bunch of votes). May the best bot win.
Re: We've got Hall of Fame voting going on up there
If I'm not mistaken I think we counted yours. You were the only one to actually contribute a decent reason behind your vote. Nice to see you came to do so by the way, it is actually nice to see other viewpoints here. Hope you stick around and continue to post.bustajesse wrote:I hope everyone's favorite bot made it to the final five. Glad to see Erector made it (even though you guys tossed away a bunch of votes).

Re: We've got Hall of Fame voting going on up there
Been thinking about this. There is no way that we can put any legitimate character over because the Erectards are voting multiple times a day. To hell with it, the Hall of Fame is just a forum for some fans to be self-indulgent pricks.
(Even if Erector is somebody's favorite character, that does not make Erector HoF worthy. I like Windcharger, but will not ever pretend the character should be in the HoF.)
What next, fanfic characters?

Re: We've got Hall of Fame voting going on up there
Eh, I'm still voting. I can vote at least 3 times a day for Grimlock so...
