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!

We wanted to let you know of an upcoming convention happening in Orlando, TFCon Orlando 2020. A major Transformers convention hasn't been to Orlando since BotCon 2010 so this is pretty fun for those in Florida. And if you are outside Florida, well they have airfare discounts for the event. It's a great opportunity to drop by Universal Studios.

You can see a lot more info here, which includes guests like Jack Lawrence, Jose Delbo and Gregg Berger.

The event will be held at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel at the Entrance to Universal Orlando on Friday March 20 2020 at 05:00 pm.

There is barely any info on this aside from a silhouette but we still wanted to share it with you.
Powermaster Ultra Prime reached out to us with images at a booth at the Singapore Comic Con. On there we see silhouettes of three characters, Megatron, Optimus and Bumblebee. We have all the details on the upcoming Optimus Prime figure, which is from Yolopark. It measures 24 inches tall and is articulated. So, looking at the size of the silhouette, that Megatron would be a true behemoth when it comes out. The most interesting thing though is that we will see another rendition of Megatron in the new G1 movie aesthetic Travis Knight brought to the movie verse.

My friend Rodimus Unicronus went to The Singapore Comic con and there he was hinted a Familiar Silhouette. He actually got to be the first to see the design but could not take a pictures the Design sadly. Would be nice. The figure is going to be made by Yolopark. He thought you guys would love to have these pics he has taken there. Oh and also he wanted to point out that the Gun barrel cannon is short

As we get ready to close out the year, the Transformers Hall of Fame is ready to induct a few new members from 2019!

The 2019 Hall of Fame vote is now online, and you can find that vote HERE. The vote contains 2 different voting areas, one for a new fictional character to join the Hall of Fame Lineup, the other to induct a Hasbro Transformers figure from this year into the Hall of Fame. Don't worry, this vote is open to anyone and is not exclusive to social media sites, allowing anyone with an internet connection to vote.

This year, the vote is a little strange, with only 1984 cartoon cast members being on the vote. Amusingly, this vote does include little known character Hauler, who showed up only briefly in the cartoon but has become a fan favorite with a cult following.

Head on over to the vote, and let us know below who you voted to go into the Hall of Fame!

2019 CATEGORIES:

Favorite fictional character from the 1984 season of The Transformers animated television series.
2019 Transformers War for Cybertron Siege toy of the year.

See the official Facebook announcement with link to vote here!
Voting begins Tuesday, December 3 at 10am EST (TODAY!) and closes on Friday, December 7 at 11:59pm EST.
Winners of both categories will be announced on the Transformers Facebook page later this month.

Takara Tomy is attending a Japanese railroad toys show and they have many toys from their Plarail line on display. They also have a poster featuring Transformers Raiden in silhouette along with the G1 figures nearby. The images below come were posted by Takara on twitter. Fellow Seibertronian Powered Convoy sent us this info and says that the text on the poster "mentions that Masterpiece Raiden is coming". Still, take this with a grain of salt since we don't know exactly what that would mean for combiners in the MP line. We will update you when we learn more.

The spider alt mode for the upcoming Masterpeice MP-46 Blackwidow (aka Beast Wars Blackarachnia) has received a lot of flack from fans but we never get a good look at it in the images, which constantly give us more of the bot mode, and for good reason as it looks spectacular. However, some additional images from the Malaysia Asia Comic Con give us our best look yet at the spider beast mode, especially the back, so you can see how clean it can be when transformed properly. We also get a good view of the back of Blackarachnia.

Here are all the images we have from the event so far. Some coming from Andrew, who sent them in, and others found on the Planet Iacon Facebook page.
