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:[1]
| Faction | Alternate mode | Signature Weapon | Color Scheme | Personality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
The second round was held between May 10th and May 17th, and included four more questions:[2]
| Name | Gender | Origin | Specialty |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
The result, Windblade, was revealed first in art form at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, with her toy subsequently revealed at Toy Fair 2014. Windblade obtained a toy in the 10th wave of Deluxe-class Generations toys; she also starred in a 4-issue miniseries from IDW Publishing, which was later revived as an ongoing series.
Due to the character's popularity, a different incarnation of Windblade is also featured in the Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon, with an episode focused on her.
2015 polls
The second set of poll was announced on January 15, 2015, this time to create a whole new combiner. The polling was done via the Transformers mobile app. The first set of polls began on January 25. Each limb was voted on individually.
| Faction | Torso and weapon | Limbs |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Round 2 began on February 11 and including picking more specific modes for the limbs, two of which had been selected as aerial vehicles, and two as cars.
| Limb #1/#2 | Limb #3/#4 | Origin | Color scheme |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
A round also took place via the Toys"R"Us Twitter between February 17 and 28 to select which power the combiner would have.
| Power |
|---|
|
The final round of voting began on February 26:
| Gender | Name | Personality | Nemesis |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Victorion, the resulting female combiner, was featured in IDW Publishing's Combiner Hunters comic as well as getting a toy.
