Ah, its great to see a character like Kos-Mos win over a predictable character like Optimus Prime.

Obviously theres going to be alot of people disagreeing with me but tell me this.

What did Optimus really bring to the series?

He was just a generic leader with good intentions. (to me atleast, I'd like to actually know what made him so special to all of you)

Anyway, Kos-Mos is great I'm between her and HK-47 (whom i keep mixing up with the AK-47), I'm happy with either to be honest.

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Kos-Mos was pretty predictable too (read: Sex appeal)! But nonetheless, good poll, good choice of characters all-round, I felt. Especially by the final 8, there weren't really any sucky ones.

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Optimus really only got interesting after the original Transformers animated movie, then all of the darker episodes after that with his resurrection and the gray Optimus stuff.

Before that, he was pretty generic.

@Shinta: And then when they started all the new kids versions he became generic again?

So theres this window in which Optimus was actually interesting, which spurred the admiration?

I think I may better undertand now.

@fearing: Um, easily.

Now IG-88, that would have been an obvious Star Wars fanboi pick, but HK-47 isn't really *obvious*. A little fanboi, but everything is going to be fanboi, just not so obvious. I'm a pretty big Star Wars nut, but I'd totally even forgotten about HK-47.

Now, if the Transformer pick was, say, Prowl, then you don't have an obvious fanboi pick.

It's all moot anyway, since my only real pick here was D0G. Everything after that is merely in the hopes that it would eliminate Prime.

I've never seen Red vs. Blue.

Owen Good is the one in Georgia, right?

Everyone knows that the "Kotaku Towers" are actually an elite superforce compromised of the Kotaku Editors, much like the Power Rangers, or Kamen Rider.

So,

We've killed all the other editors, so good luck, Owen.
