UPDATE: Voting is now closed. Thank you to everyone for your participation! You can find the record of the final vote counts for both categories, below the original text of this article.
First of all, we want to thank you for the great response this year to our call for nominees in the two Transformers Hall of Fame categories. You provided us with some interesting and unexpected choices - we love that! Nominations are now closed, and we've collected the top responses for each heading, coming up with five finalists each for Favorite Transformers Character, and for Toy of The Year 2018. On the subject of which, we want to give an honorable mention to Power of The Primes Battletrap, who despite being an understandably popular toy this year, had to be left off the ballot for actually being two separate retail products. We know, we know. It makes us sad too. Now, from here until the night of Wednesday June 27th, you can vote in our two polls, and the top three entrants from each will be forwarded to Hasbro, who will conduct the final polling to decide the ultimate winner for each category. So, from the group of ten we now have, pick your favorites, and let your votes be counted - it's all up to you, now!
