    Statement: A vote for HK-47 is a vote for killing off stupid meatbags who can't be arsed to read things before they comment.


    Advisory: It is suggested that you run before my blaster warms up, meatbags.

    Before getting all bent out of shape about the results, read the article FFS!!! Kotaku readers get to vote with their predictions, but the final outcome is randomized.

    @Masonvrocks: It's actually random, and the writing out the fights is also based on the random. Look at it this way: We already had our fan-picked winners on Monday. Optimus Prime won the giant poll. This gives us a little more substance to the whole thing.

    It's not a popularity contest it never was and that was never the point. This isn't a retarded GameFAQs "Who's ur fav gamez characterz LOLZ!". That's not the point and it never was. So yes when stupid people can't comprehend what is very clearly written in the article you get called out for it.

    @bkchurch: "Never the point?" Using a poll would indicate otherwise. Plus, not a single thing in the original post indicated this would wind down to Kotaku simply picking whichever robot it thought it should advance regardless of votes. So, yes, when stupid people can't comprehend what is very clearly written in the article you get called out for it.

    It could be argued that, even though he is a supporting character, that Kingdom Hearts would be his hot gaming franchise.

    Oh my god, it's Astro Boy!!! I loved the GBA game and watched the show whenever I could on Adult Swim. Astro is hot-shit. :D


    Hmm... Astro Boy is kinda like Mega Man... but Mega Man is more badass and only has a heart because it was written that he has a heart, whereas Astro's shows. :D Hope the new Astro Boy movie is good.

    @TaggarT6 coming soon to a theater near you!: Not just one of the best for GBA, but for that entire year. It's an amazingly good game with story, substance, and plenty of replay value.


    I wish more console games could be as rich as it.
