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.

This vote is a bunch of bullshit.

1984 cast members only for characters? Only WFC figures, no Studio Series or anything?

This vote can bugger off. Guess Hasbro is tired of Beast Wars continually proving itself to be the fan favorite

Well...it is the 35th anniversary of G1 which makes the cartoon vote legit and it’s siege because it also has ties to G1 and there were figures that also celebrated the 35th. So that’s why.

that may be why, but it is a weak ass why. They didn't do something like this for the 30th anniversary of G1, didn't do it for the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars, and I'm willing to get they won't for the 20th anniversary for Armada. and the 35th is a weird one anyway.

either way, it's weak and it's sad. Hasbro is running the vote directly this year, and it shows where their priorities are.

1984 forever bitches

They didn’t do it themselves because funpub and botcon so they never had to. They’re giving all this stuff a try. Jesus don’t seem ya throwing a fit over the fact that bot bots and Cyberverse weren’t included.

And it’s not weak or sad. It’s exactly how it is because those two things tie into what’s big this years. Build your bridge and get over it baby.

Hard to do a proper "Hall of Fame" when only 1 year is represented. Plus there was a Studio Series line in addition to the above, but a main generations line is what only counts.

And for gosh sakes, stop being an asshole when people are unhappy. I'm not the only one who sees an issue with the very limited range of the vote. Having a criticism is not being childish.

Theres no reason you can’t act your age and be an adult and just be okay that you don’t always get what you want. Sorry hasbro didn’t reach out to the grown adults who play with toys and ask specifically what they want. Shame on them for them for essentially wanting to do something entertaining and have a morale booster and involve the communities.

Wider range, that is all that is asked. Of many too.

also, while I do appreciate community outreaches, many of which I have been involved with, but only grown adults primarily watched the 1984 season 1 cartoon. Kinda cuts out a lot of others there.

Hi! Couple of things:

Dmax is very wrong. This vote is not bullshit. This vote is complete and utter horseshit. Look, I'm a ride or die G1 guy, but this is ridiculous. There is so much more to the brand than one line. This is Hasbro saying they can't be bothered to step out of the small box they've made, so choose one of the preselected items, thank you very much.

Fuck this vote.

Let's all vote the uber-obscure Hauler and see what Hasbro's reaction is.

As for the toy vote, Hot Shot's the most interesting since he's the only non-G1 character (Galaxy Upgrade OP is a non-G1 design being used as a new body upgrade for G1 Optimus).

I went for Hauler because, hey, if we have to vote for nobodies, might as well vote for the biggest nobody who's least likely to ever again get any mainstream attention.

Plus, I like his tragic backstory as a former Constructicon betrayed by his best friends and comrades when they got turned evil and then destroyed the very city that he and they had worked together to build, with Hauler joining the Autobots as the sole remaining good Constructicon, working hard to redeem the good name of his team.

Or, in the immortal words sung by Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and Al Borland:

♪ He gets no thanks, and that ain't right!
He's the Unsung Hero of the Job Site! ♪

Now then, I think Cog deserves a vote.

This poll is restrictive as hell and is obviously more indicative of who Hasbro thinks should be put on a podium rather than what the fans choose, but is this annual award really worth getting this riled up over?
Don't get me wrong, I fully understand being super passionate about topics that everyone else finds trivial, but the only times I ever see or hear about this fan poll is when it comes back around again for the yearly voting.

Honestly, I was more annoyed that APEFACE isn't even included in the favorite toy spot, but the Powerdashers and even the Reflector 3 pack are. Just because of that I'm doing the meme vote of Hauler because of his obscurity, and voting Hot Shot as my favorite toy because I like the Hound mold, but I'd rather my vote go toward the non-G1 character to try and make the point that there's more than G1

Were any of the other final-wave Siege toys on there, like Crosshairs, Rung, Singe, Spinister, etc.? If not, then Hasbro may have assumed that that they and Apeface wouldn't make it to stores until January, missing out on 2019 altogether, and thus left them out since they technically wouldn't have been 2019 toys.

Posted by Munkky on December 4th, 2019 @ 3:32am CST

I've barely touched the War for Cybertron: Siege toyline thus far, the ony figures I have out of it are Ironhide, Ratchet and Shockwave, though wave 3 of the Deluxes and Voyagers have recently started appearing at brick-and-mortar toy shops in my area so I may get Brunt.
It is a shame that the Hall of Fame vote is so restricted this year, because from what I've seen Studio Series has been offering better figures in 2019. Use the 35th anniversary excuse all you like (personally I've always interpreted the anniversaries as a celebration of the entire Transformers IP, not just one area of it) but Hasbro are really wearing their G1 bias on their sleeves now.
Either way, I went with Laserbeak for character and Ironhide for toy (I wonder why Ratchet isn't on there?).

It’s so funny everyone wanting new and modern characters in this vote. It is the “Hall of Fame”. You don’t see a bunch of new boy bands in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. It’s for those who have paid their dues and been long running, quintessential, and lasting memories in all of our zeitgeists.

Given, Hauler is a funny joke inserted into all of this. I reckon they are seeding the notion of him actually getting a toy from Pulse.

If a show is 20-something years old does it even count as new and modern anymore? By this point, the Beast Era is ancient, old enough for its fans to have kids of their own, just slightly younger than the original '84 G1 crop. It would be like calling Pokémon 'new' just because its a younger Nintendo franchise than Mario and Zelda.

More importantly, Beast Wars already has characters in the Hall of Fame. If that wasn't true, I'd be more willing to shrug it off, but because of how often Beast Wars wins the ballot whenever they put it on there, I can't help but feel like Hasbro has decided that because they want to focus on "G1's 35th Anniversary" they removed anything that could oppose that idea

All except for Hot Shot, who, let's face it, was the Unicron Trilogy's breakout Autobot character as much as Sky-Byte was the breakout Predacon character of RiD 2001.

(Even if he was just another Hot Rod/Cheetor/Wedge type of character)

Yeah, Hasbro is the boss of their own survey. It's clear that it's focused on the Siege line, and that's fine. Back at Botcon they did a good job letting the focus be on the actors and celebrities who were at the convention, and that's a proper nod. I like the way they are doing it with some forethought.

Fictional character would probably be Jetfire but only because I'd feel bad voting for the entirely fictional character (which in theory should win by default) of Slug. Slag be Slag otherwise its just berillium belogne.

Recon Refraktor would get my toy vote. Has the accessories it should have had in the first place so it doesnt need a '3rd pary' upgrade and a bonus kremzeek plus nice packaging.

I DO love the notion and toys for Hauler. I hope they do one for Earthrise as a Pulse exclusive.

I don't even own it (yet) but I voted Hot Shot because I'll support Unicron Trilogy stuff whenever possible.

Voted for Huffer, if only because he's proto-Rattrap and has no G1 styled new toys. Sucks the poll is so limited though, honestly was about to vote for Hauler too. Seems they really took to heart that whole "Don't put Beast Wars on the ballot if you don't want it to win" thing the wiki says.

(Still hoping for a single-year Generations toyline with the Season One Beast Wars cast plus Transmetal 2 Megatron and a good, four-moded screen accurate Optimal Optimus figure)

It is a shame that the Hall of Fame vote is so restricted this year, because from what I've seen Studio Series has been offering better figures in 2019. Use the 35th anniversary excuse all you like (personally I've always interpreted the anniversaries as a celebration of the entire Transformers IP, not just one area of it) but Hasbro are really wearing their G1 bias on their sleeves now.
Either way, I went with Laserbeak for character and Ironhide for toy (I wonder why Ratchet isn't on there?).

Honestly I would like to see every single Studio Series toy destroyed with a sledgehammer, I hate the designs of these pieces of shit in the movies and the original LAM toys were shit and the Studio Series is just a more expensive versions of shit looking toys.

No really? I had no idea that was my opinion. :roll:

Here is some more of my opinions:

I have never liked those designs in movies, toys, comics, video games, and so on. I also hate all of Bay directed live action movies as well, Bumblebee looks nice but it's too little too late and I can't stand Bumblebee so unless he gets blown up at the end I'll skip it.

I love Prime Wars Trilogy and Siege toys.

I love the IDW version 1.5 of the comics.

I don't give a damn about the current comics.

My favorite TV shows are Prime, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines.

I've yet to play a great The Transformers video game and the ones I have played are average to good.

If you or anyone else disagrees with my opinions: I DON'T CARE.

Went for Hauler and Hot Shot as the screw you right back" votes like some other people are doing.

I know everyone's already said it, but the bias being shown here is bordering on unprofessional. I mean, the cartoon part is one thing, but if you don't care about any toys other than Siege, why even make them?

Honestly, in hindsight, I feel so stupid for taking this biased vote seriously. :BANG_HEAD:

I picked Jetfire for the character, (cuz he's my favorite) :michaelbay:

and Titan Omega Supreme for the sheer amount of effort put into it. :APPLAUSE:

'Til all are one! :BH-PREDACON:

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
