>>6051072Some of these choices would be great if it wasn't for how they're currently portrayed in IDW. Also, I assume a new toy will come out for the winner?
Ultra Magnus: Either someone else will take up the mantle of Ultra Magnus or he's gonna be this guy with extreme OCD. Don't need a toy either, his recent releases have been great and already filled that void.
Hound: The underdog. No prior portrayal. Bumblebee's already done the bleeding heart thing. Mildly interested in a new toy. I already have Henkei Hound, but hey, the winner of this will be a Prime, so Hound as an APC (that isn't the movie version)? That could be cool.
Arcee: So, she'll be what, the equivalent of Grimlock in the old comics? Arc Prime as a new toy? Could be interesting, tow-wise. But not strictly necessary.
Megatron: The most obvious choice. While not terribly exciting simply because of how "obvious" it is, I don't find the idea of turning Megatron into a Prime to be objectionable. I also don't object to yet another Megatron toy.
Star Saber: It would have been cool to see Star Saber as Prime. Too bad IDW's portrayal of all the Japanese characters have been laaaaame on the grounds that they pointlessly changed their personalities. Stil, a non-MP Star Saber might be cool.
Thunderwing: Eh, boring. Toy might be cool though.
Unknown Evil: Unknown Evil is the exception to the "IDW pointlessly ruined all the Japanese characters" rule. I think given how he's been portrayed, Unknown Evil might be a cool leader to have. He'd be like Starscream only without the lackluster portrayal. Also, a new Unknown Evil toy would be great.
Optimus Primal: Booooring. He's like Ultra Magnus or Thunderwing in that while he might be a cool character, there's not much that 'pops' with him. He's got plenty of good toys although we might see more Beasts if he gets voted?
Shockwave: Story-wise, don't see what he'd add. Nor toy-wise.
