Get behind her! Otherwise…

Wait, how is Movie Optimus part of the vote? When Optimus Prime was inducted in the first year of HOF, wasn't that supposed to encompass all versions of the character?

Barricade, and I was voting for him, is a bittersweet testimony to how Con (and even a lot of Autobots) characters are handled in the Bayverse. TBH he's not that well fleshed as a character… But comes as significant mostly because of not dying and other Cons having even less characterisation. That's how little is needed in the movieverse to be a memorable TF character.
And I'm glad to see him taking votes and spotlight from completely overdone Optimus or (in the previous voting stage) Bumblebee. Hound also would be a good character to vote over these two.

I'm still kind of annoyed that Triggerhappy is in the running. Yes, he's a good toy, but he's from 2016. Yes, if this voting happened last year, he'd have missed it. But that happens with many other awards including games and movies, so I don't see how this is a valid reason.
Anyway, I agree that they should just have a poll on their website. I guess the idea is that they want to stop potential bot abuse, but then you could still create multiple accounts. Eh, whatever.

Why don't they have the poll on their website? I'm not making an account on those sites just to vote. I'm never ever making an account on those sites. Twitter is just useless and Facebook I don't want.

I don't know if this will help Barricade any, but I'm going to keep reposting it: the case for why Barricade deserves to be in the HOF:
BARRICADE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DECEPTICON IN TF1
Barricade is the most important Con in TF1
Trip2boy
Triggerhappy
Galvatron
Barricade
Yes, Barricade made it to the final three! Let\'s go!
Mako Crab
I… I can't believe it! Is this the year that Barricade, the most important Decepticon in the first movie, finally gets in?! He's running away with the lead!
Keep going, Barry!!
And hang in there, Blackarachnia!
Alphard
Oh god
Blackarachnia and Cyclonus and Galvatron… I can\'t pick!
Though Galvatron\'s my waifu, so

I have the feeling that many of those voting for Triggerhappy don't actually own a Topspin…or else they'd be voting for him.

I voted for triggerhappy, good ol\'Galvy and the fat ballerina
i would of went with Barricade but he has been in 3 films now and Hound had more character to him despite Barry having a better design and slogan

I'm not joining Facebook or Instagram to vote on a toy. SMH.

Definitely going with Blackarachnia because as I've said, Beast Wars and Animated could use some love.
As for movie characters, I'll have to go with Barricade in the hopes that they'll really recognize how popular he is and give him a proper sized role.

I wasn't going to put anything for movies but Barricade had a cool toy this year.
<< #Triggerhappy (#Sixshot if that was an option, Trypy will probably win even though he just came out), #Galvatron (Cyclonus was a close second because of IDW… love Blackarachnia but haven't seen her lately), #Barricade (he's a survivor) >>
Edit:
Wow, I'm usually not with the majority on these things (at the moment my choices are leading). It kinda makes me want to change my vote. haha.

There is a "Not voting/none" option on the poll
