BTW, 22 days after the deadline and the poll is still open.

I love that pic :lol: And at this point, are we sure it was an actual Hall of Fame post? Because if so, wow that's almost "Bethesda not claiming the Fallout 1st url before they revealed it" levels of unprofessional

And the winners are... a thuggish nobody from 1984 and a toy that, admittedly, most people seem pleased with.


(And yet, the poll is still open.)

I willed Skywarp to win.

Not a bad result for what it is. I kwas adamant on buying Omega Supreme for a long time, but I haven't had much expendable money for the last few months. This result has re-sparked my interest in getting Omega.

2019 Transformers Hall of Fame Winners Announced

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian sabrblade, we have news that the winners of the 2019 Hall of Fame fan vote have been announced!

The winner this year for the new character induction is the purple and black seeker himself, Skywarp! Skywarp originated from the first wave of the 1984 toyline, cartoon, and comics, and many fell in love with his teleporting capabilities. And it would seem that his teleporting abilities finally got him into the hall of fame.

And the winner of this year's toy induction is the Titan himself, Omega Supreme! Omega has been on the market now for around 2 months, and has proven to be a very popular Titan, with many considering him to be the best Titan we have gotten so far. This titanic monosyllabic character made his way into our hearts, and how so has his toy.

So what do you think of these results? Was this the result you had hoped for? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I'm sure Thew is happy. I was hoping Hauler would win but there was no way that would happen.

I figured Omega would win, but Skywarp kinda surprised me.

Fan-favorite and thoroughly-developed fembot Blackarachnia won last year.

Besides, Arcee wasn't even an optional candidate to vote for since this poll was nothing but 1984 characters and Arcee was from 1986.

Arcee has been in the Hall of Fame since 2014.

Is there an actual Hall of Fame website or something for these? Or is just a PR thing every year for fans?

Just PR and kind of an afterthought at that. I'd speculate that the poll serves a dual purpose of gauging fan interest levels in characters, but who knows.

It used to be a bigger deal in its first three years, but then the brand team changed soon after.

I remember this being a big deal at Botcon. It was fun to see which characters would win and to give awards to the people who deserved recognition.

But if we aren't having a Hascon or even any sort of ceremony, this just kinda rings really hollow for me.

There was supposed to be a HasCon this year, but it got "delayed indefinitely".

It would be nice if we got something like a special Hall of Fame toyline in the future, probably just an all-Deluxe line like the original Generations range, or perhaps mostly Deluxe with like three or four Voyagers and a Predaking box set. There are enough characters to fill out a toyline now, so it could probably work.

Skywarp won because he's the best Transformer.
