OPTIMUS PRIME vs. RATCHET
Round 04 » Match 01 » Autobot Bracket

Hey, happy new year and all that stuff! Hopefully, none of you choked to death on a mixture of alcohol and confetti. Now, let’s begin another year of Transformers & Bullshit™!

Well, as most people could probably have predicted, Optimus kind of kicked Rodimus’ ass. Which is a pity, because Rodimus is awesome. Something tells me we’re going to end up with the very trite outcome of Optimus Prime being crowned king of the Autobots, at the very least. *sigh* Still, Ratchet managed to narrowly defeat Jetfire, continuing what is, to me, the most surprising win streak of this tournament. I mean, what?!

There is an airport somewhere in the world that has a giant Optimus Prime made out of album covers, vinyl records, and audio equipment. What.

OPTIMUS PRIME vs. RODIMUS
Round 03 » Match 01 » Autobot Bracket

Well, Optimus’ battle with Jazz was much closer than I expected. I don’t know the exact count, but I’m pretty sure Prime only won by four or five votes. Rodimus also defeated Omega Supreme by the exact same percentage, though with fewer overall votes. Dude! I love this! Things are actually getting good now. Blowouts are no fun, so it’s nice to finally see a lot more tight races. And now, it’s the battle of the Primes! Go!

Round 02 » Match 01 » Autobot Bracket

Hey! Round two is here! Now you can expect wailing and gnashing of teeth to accompany almost EVERY match-up! Prepare to make more hard choices. I’m going to try to keep up the two-polls-per-day pace for one more round, in hopes of finishing this whole thing up around New Year’s.

OPTIMUS PRIME vs. FORTRESS MAXIMUS
Round 01 » Match 01 » Autobot Bracket

In “reality,” Fort Max could just step on Optimus. Game over. But, as I will constantly restate throughout the course of this tournament, this isn’t about who’s the better fighter. And fortunately for Maximus, this isn’t strictly a popularity contest either. I mean, comic fans are probably the only ones likely to have a soft spot for Max. Optimus almost has to win, right? Or do you all want to kick Optimus out in the first round? YOU MAKE THE CALL.

So, which Autobot is way more awesomer? The former architect with a Witwicky in his head or the former archivist who has a nasty habit of surviving?

GO HERE TO VOTE, OKAY?

NOTE: Remember to vote for whom you’d want to win, not who realistically would. And please feel free to reblog these posts, so the tournament will have a wide variety of voters. Thanks!
