Fan polls

Fan Built Bots are characters created by Hasbro by polling fandom. Thus far two sets of polls have been held, resulting in the creation of a single bot, Windblade, in 2013 and a combiner, Victorion, in 2015.

2013 polls

For the first Fan Built Bot, polls were conducted on transformers.com over the course of a week each. The first round was held between April 18th and May 5th, and included the following questions:

The result, Windblade, was revealed first in art form at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, and then her toy was revealed at Toy Fair 2014. As well as having her own comic, a different incarnation of Windblade is also featured in the Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon.
