Exactly K. It's been going on like this since the beginning, and as far as I can see it will continue this way.
Just to clarify. I know many fans are speculating about this, but I do acknowledge that this vote will likely have little effect on the current IDW comic. I'm just merely stating that peoples opinion on who to vote for will be based on the personality traits of the characters they like, or dislike. The reasons why we identify with certain characters is how they are portrayed throughout the various mediums. When those mediums conflict, then it makes deciding more difficult based on the unknown. Of course if one is simply voting in hopes of getting a new toys of said characters, then I guess it matters less.
I guess an argument could be made that Hasbro isn't even considering the original Victory Anime Star Saber; which I think is a slap in the face btw... To use a characters name and likeness, then completely change them, but that's a whole other topic for another time. But then lets use Shockwave...
Traditionally across several animated series Shockwave has been usually portrayed as Loyal to Megatron, calculating, and logical.
In pretty much all comics (Marvel, DW, & IDW) Shockwave is a scientist, brilliant, and usually opposes Megatron, with his own ambittions (and happens to be dead currently in IDW but all that aside...) ... If I were a huge fan of Shockwave, I'd want to know before hand which one Hasbro would promote?
