Worst of Worst
Gleek, the Space Monkey

I never noticed before now that every Decepticon could easily be a heavy metal band name as well.

#1 Where is Skyfire?

#2 I think it's intellectually dishonest to consider dinobots alongside autobots, even if it is technically accurate. Grimlock was a friggin T-Rex. There's nobody that was between the ages of about 6 and 12 in the 80s that didn't love robots and T-Rex. It's unfair.

Not fair to include Devastator but no other combiners. Devastator is clearly the best, but people should have the opportunity to have the wrong opinion about it.

Ones that didn't watch it because they were already teenagers in the late 80s but put the contest together anyways

Grimlock is currently not winning.

I predict Soundwave for best Decepticon.

And I voted can't tell the turtles apart because though I can, I no longer care

Or a Pro Wrestler's name.

MegaMan was my favorite.

Least surprising vote:Snarf running away with Worst of All

P.S. I'm going to try and get the Game of Thrones moments put together finally. One of my kids got quarantined with accidental exposure to COVId (She is fine) so she has to remote learn from home for 10 days, meaning ol Bib is having t do most of his Major Domo-ing at night and needs a project to keep him awake.

I'm bummed out I missed this one!

My parents brought me my old ninja turtles from growing up and they're all my 3 year old daughter wants to play with now. We've worked through about the first 6 episodes over the last couple of weeks.

Growing up, I was always a Michelangelo fan, but somehow was surrounded by Raphael fans, so I thought I was in the minority. I'm glad that's not reflective of the wider population because he's the worst.

My handle may in no way shows any kind of bias to who I think should win this...

You wouldn't know anything about Optimus Prime getting multiple votes from the same IP address, would you Prime?

We need a final tournament of all the other tournament winners to see the best piece of entertainment ever.
